Nathan Zuckerman hears the story of Ira Ringold — a Newark ironworker turned radio actor who became a Communist in the 1940s and was destroyed by McCarthyism, betrayed by his wife, the actress Eve Frame, who wrote a memoir exposing him. The second novel of Roth's American Trilogy.

Augusto Roa Bastos's monumental 'dictator novel,' reimagining the rule of Paraguay's Dr. José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. A dazzling, fragmentary, polyphonic meditation on absolute power, history, and language itself, it is a landmark of Latin American literature and one of the great novels of tyranny.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, he argues that the conscious mind is a small, often misled passenger in a brain that does most of its work below awareness — with provocative implications for selfhood, free will, and the law.

In 1936, charismatic demagogue Buzz Windrip wins the US presidency on a platform of patriotism, nostalgia, and contempt for elites, then rapidly dismantles American democracy to establish a fascist state. Seen through the eyes of Vermont newspaper editor Doremus Jessup, Sinclair Lewis's 1935 satire is a manual for recognising authoritarianism written before the word was widely used.

Set in twelfth-century England during the aftermath of the Crusades, Ivanhoe follows the disinherited Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe as he jousts for honor, navigates treacherous Norman politics, and fights alongside a mysterious Black Knight revealed to be King Richard I.

Wendell Jaffe drowned himself five years ago, leaving behind a collapsed investment fraud and a paid-out life insurance policy. So why has someone just seen him alive in Mexico?

A white senator who was raised as a Black child by a Black preacher in the American South is shot on the floor of the Senate and, as he lies dying, remembers his childhood with Reverend Hickman. Ellison's posthumously published second novel — assembled from forty years of manuscript — is flawed and incomplete but contains passages equal to anything in Invisible Man, and the central figure of the Black minister who raised a white child is among the most complex moral situations in American fiction.

A grieving mother asks Kinsey Millhone to investigate her daughter's death, ruled undetermined but never explained.

Jo Baker retells Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of the Bennet household's servants — particularly the housemaid Sarah — revealing the physical labor, social vulnerability, and hidden lives that sustained the genteel world Austen depicted.
