Kafkaesque: Fourteen Stories
Peter Kuper. Norton,
ISBN 978-0-393-63562-1
Another Eisner Award–winner,
Kuper brilliantly accentuates both the
absurd and menacing qualities of
Kafka’s short stories in this graphic
collection. Using a scratchboard
technique to mimic the woodcut style
of German expressionism, Kuper
emphasizes the ways Kafka addressed
social injustices rather than simply focusing on his trade-
mark existential paranoia. Kafka’s timeless work has never
hit so hard, nor more artfully.

Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger
Rebecca Traister. Simon & Schuster, ISBN 978-1-5011-8179-5
Piper and Friends In this trenchant analysis, journalist Traister explores women’s anger and
American politics, in which “noncompliant, insistent, furious women have shaped

What We Talk About When We Talk
About Rape
Sohaila Abdulali. New Press,
ISBN 978-1-62097-473-5
Abdulali brings precision, clarity, and style to
her exploration of a topic often treated as more
confusing than it is. A former coordinator of a rape
crisis center, she uses her own brutal rape as a
touchstone and springboard for this series of
extended reflections on the discourse surrounding
rape. Though Abdulali doesn’t claim to have
answers, the book’s assertions are clear: victims deserve belief, support,
and a fair hearing; rapists, not their targets, are responsible for rape; and
survivors can go on to live full and joyful lives.

A Provocative First
Children of Blood and Bone
Tomi Adeyemi. Holt, ISBN 978-1-250-17097-2
Eleven years ago, King Saran cemented his grip on the
throne by banishing magic from Orïsha and slaughtering the
realm’s maji. The maji’s descendents have lived under
tyranny ever since, but now there is cause for hope. Book
one in the Orïsha Legacy trilogy, Adeyemi’s devastating
debut is a brutal, beautiful tale of revolution, faith, and
star-crossed love. By making tangible the power that comes
from embracing one’s heritage, Adeyemi conjures a story
that resonates with magic both literal and figurative while
condemning apathy in the face of injustice. Complex charac-
ters, colossal stakes, and a kaleidoscopic narrative captivate,
and the book’s punishing pace catapults readers to a jaw-
dropping conclusion that poses as many questions as it
answers. Ages 14–up.
