Jamie Ducharme
(Holt)
When Ducharmeâs 2019 Time article on Juul came out, it was pretty tough to walk around New York without seeing the vape device. I was excited when I found out that article was to grow into a book, and the story Ducharme offers is a bizarre, somewhat frightening page-turner (and is set to become a docuseries, to boot). âCarliann Rittman, reviews editor
The Atmospherians
(Atria)
A woman named Sasha Marcus is harassed and canceled by menâs rights activists after speaking her mind in response to an internet troll in McElroyâs engrossing novel. Sasha then accepts a new gig helping her failed actor friend start a cult designed for men to purge themselves of toxic masculinity. McElroyâs conceit works on multiple levels, with incisive satire, earnest explorations of male identity, and a gripping plot.

The annual Holocaust Remembrance Day takes on added importance this year when Thursday, April 8, is set aside to recall and renounce genocide.
Some folks at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol did not get the “Never Again” memo. One guy sported a “Camp Auschwitz” T-shirt inside the building (he was arrested a week later in Virginia), while a woman gave a “Sieg Heil” salute outside.
These scenes are shocking. They place anti-Semitism and Aryan supremacy squarely in the present, not just the past. They also connect streams of prejudice, as also-present Confederate flags made abundantly clear that day.
