New & Noteworthy Nonfiction

Henry James thought that a good critic should be “a huge spider-web, of the finest silken threads, suspended in the chamber of consciousness and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.” In other words: “One of the people on whom nothing is lost.” Here are some new, newly relevant, and highly anticipated works of nonfiction, by writers on whom nothing is lost.
