1. B Side Books
A collection of brief, passionate essays in which writers and critics champion overlooked or out-of-print books that shaped their reading lives, blending personal reflection with literary criticism to make the case for neglected gems. Spanning genres, eras, and languages, it celebrates the pleasures of serendipitous discovery and invites readers to venture beyond the canon to find unexpected favorites worthy of renewed attention.
