This October, we’re excited to share seven incredibly different but significant books: an indispensable look at the dangers of unchecked corporate power, a tumultuous mother–daughter relationship, a gripping rescue story of a journalist and his family in Gaza, a tender history of Baltic art and culture told through chance encounters, an examination of the Tarot de Marseille deck informed by a blend of art history and historical research, a thrilling exposé of ultra-conservative Catholic sect Opus Dei, and a must-have guide for caring for anxious and reactive dogs.
In Working for the Brand, award-winning labour relations lawyer Josh Borstein argues that the unchecked power of corporations reflected in their repressive control of employees is the biggest threat to democracy in the twenty-first century. Gifted is a sharp and moving novella that portrays a troubled mother–daughter relationship by sociologist Suzuki Suzumi, shortlisted for Japan’s prestigious Akutagawa Prize. The Gates of Gaza is a gripping, true story of how leading Israeli journalist Amir Tibon along with his family were rescued by his father on October 7, drawing on Israeli and Palestinian sources.
In Baltic Souls, Jan Brokken tells the story twentieth-century Europe through a remarkable collection of life stories from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Twenty-Two Impressions: notes from the Major Arcana is a luminous blend of historical research, art history, and critical insights, using the cards of the Major Arcana as a lens through which to examine the unexpectedness — and subtle beauty — of twenty-first century life. Opus (publishing October 8) is the thrilling exposé recounting how members of Opus Dei — a secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect — pushed their radical agenda within the Church and around the globe. Lastly, Bark is the must-have guide to addressing anxious, fearful, or reactive behaviours in your dog through positive reinforcement, from certified dog trainer and animal behaviourist Zazie Todd.
