R.F. Kuang's "Katabasis" will also be brightening bookshelves with its deluxe limited edition, taking readers on a breathtaking fantasy adventure. Kuang's previous works have established her as a force in the literary world, and her latest promises to keep that streak alive.

Riveting Nonfiction Reads

This season's non-fiction roster is just as compelling. Molly Jong-Fast presents intimate insights in "How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter's Memoir," offering a deeply personal narrative that will resonate with many. Similarly, Alexis Okeowo's "Blessings and Disasters: A Story of Alabama" provides a potent mix of history and personal story-telling within Alabama's rich cultural backdrop.

Further enriching our reading landscape is Melissa Febos' "The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex," a candid exploration of abstinence and its unexpected pleasures.
