Funny Girl
Nick Hornby
Hornby on a 1960s British sitcom star and the men who write her show. Warm and full of affection for comedy.
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
Ocean Vuong
This debut novel, a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read, is more than anything a work of poetry, one so rich and moving it clearly draws on lived experience. I’m not a big re-reader, but I’d like to go back to both of these.
Swing Time
Zadie Smith
Two mixed-race girls who love to dance, and the friendship that shapes and divides them. Ambitious Zadie Smith.
