Book of the Month

Each month, we select a brand new book that we love so much that we guarantee you'll love it too—and if you don't, we'll give you your money back. This month we're recommending Imaginary Museums by Nicolette Polek.

These sentences zag when you expect them to zig. And don't get me started on the zigging. Trying to recount any of these stories will take way longer than it will to read them; they are masterworks of compression that unfold into sagas of falconers and an Air Conditioning Museum. But they also finish with tidy endings, landing the dismount from each trick with a word, a gesture that somehow makes sense of the fantasia preceding. Oh, yeah: and it's really, really funny. —Benjy
