CAMPAIGN WIDOWS
By Aimee Agresti
Even wonks need a beach read, and this one has it all: politics, power and privilege wrapped in one delightfully juicy novel. The “campaign widows” in Washington author Agresti’s book are spouses who have been left behind while their significant others are on the campaign trail. It’s a plight that many D.C. residents are sure to relate to, and the “escapist” read (Agresti’s words) will appeal even to those outside of the political world.

Black novelists may be able to help us make sense of centuries of racial conflict and mistreatment through creative retellings of history. Can laying bare centuries-old wounds that continue to fester help us heal as a nation? How can fiction help us deal honestly with history? New novels by Black writers are taking readers on imaginative, often hellish journeys into the country’s past to better understand our present day relationship with racism.
