You Dreamed of Empires brings Tenochtitlan to life at its height, and reimagines its destiny. The incomparably original Álvaro Enrigue sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, a restitutive, fantastical counterattack, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream.

A marvel of grace and empathy, I Heard Her Call My Name parses with great sensitivity many issues that touch our lives deeply, of gender identity and far beyond.

    by Emily Witt

    Named a Best and Must-Read Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review and Time. From the New Yorker staff writer and acclaimed author of Future Sex comes a memoir about drugs, techno, and New York City.

    by Glynnis MacNicol

    Named one of Time’s 100 Must-Read Books of 2024. When you’re a woman of a certain age, you are only promised that everything will get worse. But what if everything you’ve been told is a lie?

MacNicol is determined to document the beauty, excess, and triumph of a life that does not require permission.
