GOES ISSUE #1
by Luke Kruger-Howard

This new small-press comic series is experimenting with not-for-profit publishing. Issue #1 of Goes rethinks gender norms (imagine a club where men just stand around hugging and comforting each other!!) and, according to the Ignatz-nominated author himself, is “full of metaphors.”

THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING
by Joan Didion

Introspective and profound, this memoir looks at death, illness, marriage, children, and memory. An emotional read that you won’t be able to put down—but definitely bring the tissues; a journey like Didion’s, however magical, is not without its moments of deep sorrow.
