Financial Times
Hamnet, by Maggie O Farrell
It s summer, and a plague is sweeping the country. Maggie O Farrell s novel transports the reader back to 1596, and to Shakespeare s family in particular his wild and mystical wife Agnes (as she is named here) and his ill-fated son Hamnet in the years preceding the play that took his name. Motherhood and scenes of pastoral life are described in exquisite detail.
Real Life, by Brandon Taylor
On the face of it, Real Life is a campus novel in the tradition of The Secret History or Normal People. But Taylor s story, which follows Wallace a gay, black biochemistry student transplanted from his home in Alabama to a university in the Midwest as he struggles amid wealth and white privilege, puts class, race and sexuality under forensic scrutiny.

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec 10, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) The Museum of Sex (MoSex) proudly announces details about its winter exhibition, “BAD: Betty A. Dodson & the Liberation of Masturbation, A Tribute”. This exhibition, the first museum retrospective devoted to Dodson’s nearly 70-year career as an artist and educator, will be on view at the Museum of Sex (233 Fifth Avenue) starting December 14, 2020.
Composed of over 50 paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, and ephemera – all reflecting Dodson’s unflinching belief in sexual equality for women-the show is organized chronologically, offering an in-depth look at the progression of Dodson as artist, educator, and feminist icon. Dodson illuminates aspects of sexuality, especially women’s sexuality, that many would rather ignore.
