Readers' Picks

From a stunning new translation of Homer’s The Odyssey to competing accounts of our cosmic origins, discover what our readers have added to their bookshelves this month.

The Odyssey

A magnificent feat of translation, hailed by classicists and poets alike as a “momentous achievement”: “thrilling,” “rich and rhythmical,” “superb,” “mesmerizing,” “searingly faithful—yet absolutely original.”

Vector

A celebration of the seemingly simple idea that allowed us to imagine the world in new dimensions—sparking both controversy and discovery.

Penelope's Bones

Weaving together literary and archaeological evidence, Emily Hauser illuminates the rich, intriguing lives of the real women behind Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.

Defiant Acts

Drawing on the author’s experiences, this debut novel follows an interracial blended family living in Chicago in the 1990s.

Battle of the Big Bang

A thrilling exploration of competing cosmological origin stories, comparing new scientific ideas that upend our very notions of space, time, and reality.

Spam, A Global History

A cultural history of the celebrated (and derided) canned protein, in time for the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, which solidified its place in global food culture.
