October brings an exciting, eclectic set of new releases that dive into art, fashion, philosophy, and fiction.
They range from richly detailed biographies of Chaim Soutine and Barnett Newman (both centering Jewishness), to Lynn Hershman-Leeson’s candid memoir of persistence, to Chris Kraus’s gripping true-crime novel. Yet every one of this month’s standout titles memorably blurs the boundary between art and life.
Check back throughout the month: our critics are at work reviewing a handful of these books in-depth.
