From Vanity Fair and The New York Times contributor comes a beautifully written, deeply felt memoir recounting the solo cross-country journey she made along the Ten across the American southwest: a mission to uncover both what harrowing violence may or may not have happened to her late mother, but also, to look within and discover who she herself is—where her mother ends and she begins.

E.A. Hanks’s writing never flinches—always fresh, vulnerable, and deeply honest
Revisado: 04-09-25
Every time I read E.A. Hanks’s work, I’m struck by how alive her prose feels. It’s fresh, vulnerable, and honest—sometimes even a little scary in the best possible way. She has a rare ability to write without flinching, even when the material cuts close to the bone.
"The 10" is her most personal work yet: a memoir that explores the complicated, sometimes painful relationship with her mother. From the opening chapters, you know it’s going to be the kind of book that stays with you—not just because of the story it tells, but because of the fearless way Hanks tells it.
(And as a New Orleanian who often hates the way interlopers write about our city, I'm happy to say that Hanks GETS the city. We'd welcome her with a sazerac anytime. She doesn't just write about New Orleans – she listens to it)

Marshall Ganz is one of the world’s leading authorities on democratic leadership, organizing, and action and this book is the culmination of his decades of teaching, research, and practice. In People, Power, Change Ganz offers students, educators, and organizers access to the craft he has learned, adapted, and shared over the last half-century of creating effective collective action. It is not a blueprint, but a road map.

One of the most essential books (and teachers) about organizing and mobilizing people
Revisado: 08-20-24
Marshall Ganz's "People, Power, Change" is a brilliant distillation of his extensive experience and expertise in democratic organizing. Having studied and worked with Ganz, I can say this book perfectly captures his key ideas.
What's fantastic about "People, Power, Change" is how accessible it is. The book lays out a clear framework for organizing, focusing on relationships, values and narratives, strategy, structure, and accountability. Ganz uses real-world examples from his own life in social movements to bring these concepts to life, making them easy to understand and apply to various issues.
This isn't just a book for community organizers or politicians. It's essential reading for any manager or leader who wants to mobilize people and drive meaningful change. Ganz's insights are timely and relevant, especially now when our collective ability to create change feels weakened.
In short, "People, Power, Change" is a must-read for anyone looking to make an impact. It's a practical, inspiring guide from one of the best in the field.

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

For the last 20 years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.
