Our Book of the Day is Lucy Corin's "The Swank Hotel" Graywolf Press, a New Yorker Best Book of 2022, and a “delightfully askew” novel that “offers a memorable exploration of how a loved one’s mental illness can impact an individual’s outlook” (Publishers Weekly).




Our Book of the Day is Taisia Kitaiskaia's "The Nightgown & Other Poems" Deep Vellum, a mythic and mystic collection haunted by the magic of Slavic and Western European fairy tales, the symbolism of the Tarot, the medieval world, feminism, and a mythology all its own.
