The best eBooks and audiobooks coming out this week
New this week we’re featuring some of the most hotly-anticipated new releases in Manga and graphic novels. And one graphic novel that we’d like to call out is the second installment in Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl series, based on her novel by the same name, which was the springboard to Rowell’s surprise hit series, the Simon Snow Trilogy.
Werner Herzog is many things. He’s the celebrated documentarian behind Grizzly Man and Little Dieter Needs to Fly, the groundbreaking filmmaker of Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and the on-screen baddie trying to get his hands on the little green being he calls “the baby” in the Star Wars western series The Mandalorian. Now Herzog adds “novelist” to his roster of identities, with The Twilight World. Years ago, Herzog befriended Japanese WWII veteran Hiroo Onoda and learned about the decades Onoda spent isolated on an island in the Philippines still upholding his orders not to surrender long past the end of the war. This novel is Herzog’s imagining of Onoda’s years of struggle, mixing fact and fiction, and artfully conveying both. And yes, he does read the audiobook.
Among the many conversations sparked in summer 2020, one of the most fascinating was an exchange of letters between activist and author of Policing Black Lives, Robyn Maynard, and artist and writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, author of Noopiming: The Cure for White Ladies. Their correspondence is collected in the new book Rehearsals for Living, where readers can follow along as two formidable minds build upon and challenge one another, working through their thoughts on the history of slavery and colonization, and formulating what they want for the future.
