Wildwood is a small barrier island at the tip of southern New Jersey. Through a? combination of economics, geography, and chance, it contains a national treasure: the highest concentration of mid-twentieth-century modern hospitality architecture in the United States. The short three-month tourist season, combined with a working-class aesthetic, resulted in Wildwood's motels remaining essentially frozen in time for over four decades. In recent years,...

Seven of those killed were teenage boys. The day became known as 'Bloody Sunday'. The events occurred in broad daylight and in the full glare of the press.

"The last words of each line in a Golden Shovel poem are, in order, words from a line or lines taken from a Brooks poem. The poems are, in a way, secretly encoded to enable both a horizontal reading of the new poem and vertical reading down the right-hand margin of Brooks's original. An array of writers, including Pulitzer Prize winners, T. S. Eliot Prize winners, National Book Award winners, and National Poet Laureates, have written poems for this...

Shuttling between his first year of life (1967) and the year he wrote the book (2020), 'Earlier' is a glorious sequence of moments, a record of the experiences that set the shape of a life. Frere-Jones's prose floats between clinically precise fragments and emotional impressions of revelations, pleasures, and accidents. It's a book about how lives happen and sensibilities form.

"Even at the height of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, when the clarion call for equality and justice echoed around the country, few volunteers ventured into Clarke County, Mississippi. Fewer still remained. Located just south of Neshoba County, where three civil rights workers had been murdered during 1964's Freedom Summer, Clarke lay squarely in what many considered Mississippi's, and thus America's, meanest corner. Local African Americans...

"This novel by Tadeusz Konwicki, a Pole writing in his own language, is an extension of the theme of dream and life and their interlocking realities, and man's attempt to come to meaningful and personal terms with an existential and absurd universe. The antihero (in the Camusian sense) is shown at the opening of the novel just coming out of a coma, having tried to commit suicide by poison. He is surrounded by provincial townsfolk, villagers who in...

"With the help of Matthi Forrer, the leading authority on Japanese woodblock prints, the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst in Cologne has conducted a major survey of its inventory for the first time after more than 100 years. The result can be described as historic. The surprisingly diverse collection with many hitherto unknown prints, is suited to produce a comprehensive handbook on Japan's woodblock printing culture."
