Women on the Move: The Forgotten Era of Women’s Bicycle Racing

Roger Gilles

Terrorism, Betrayal, and Resilience: My Story of the 1998 U.S. Embassy Bombings

Review from The Washington Diplomat:

“[The book] details the lead-up to the attacks . . . [and] also serves as a cautionary tale about what can go wrong when Washington ignores warnings from the field in the name of cutting costs.”

 

The Shell Game: Writers Play with Borrowed Forms

Edited and with an introduction by Kim Adrian

Review from New Pages:

“This book is the science fiction of creative nonfiction, or better yet, the Ulysses of the modern essay . . . it makes readers feel as if they are learning what an essay is (or could be) all over again.”

Collision of Wills: Johnny Unitas, Don Shula, and the Rise of the Modern NFL

Jack Gilden

Review from Sport in American History:

“Gilden, a Baltimore native, peels back the fog of 1960s football to bring two giants of the game into sharper focus. We see Unitas and Shula as they really were, and not always in a favorable light . . . Gilden brings [their] conflict into sharp focus with a compelling narrative and the perspective of people who admired both men.”

 

Pain Woman Takes Your Keys and Other Essays from a Nervous System by Sonya Huber

A Certain Loneliness: A Memoir by Sandra Gail Lambert

Featured in BuzzFeed News:

“These authors know and appreciate their bodies as deeply as I hope to know and appreciate my own one day, regardless of my level of wellness . . . These assumptions about disability and pain reveal how little we want to acknowledge disability or pain, as if awareness of someone else’s physicality, awareness of each other’s unfixability, burdens us.”
