In November 1945, the eyes of the world turned to Nuremberg. Humanity was seeking not only the truth about Nazi crimes but also a vision of what justice might look like in their aftermath. The trials are traditionally associated with a roll call of famous men, but they were only part of the picture. THE NUREMBERG WOMEN tells the story of eight women --- survivors, journalists, a lawyer, an artist, and a translator --- who were pivotal in the trial’s outcome. From the major questions of justice, gender, and politics to the smaller, intimate tales of the women’s affairs and bar-room disputes, THE NUREMBERG WOMEN shows the most famous trial of the 20th century in a new light --- making a brave new case for it having been a more diverse and democratic exercise than has often been recognized.

A massive pile of severed human limbs appears in the parking lot of a vacant department store in a desolate small town. Some of the fingerprints on the severed arms belong to living people with all their appendages intact; others match no one on file. This sounds like a case for local weirdos John, David, and Amy, partly because the cops don’t want the headache and partly because David’s own arm is in the pile, despite an identical copy of it still being attached to his body. When a mysterious man then shows up at David’s home claiming to be in pursuit of an entity he calls “the Penetrator,” it seems clear the trio is in for a long weekend. The gang will also have to quell the panic that threatens to ensue, which could prompt the feds to try to wipe the whole town off the map (again). As such, contrary to whatever ugly rumors you may have heard, there are no giant crabs in this novel.

Today we recognize that America’s founding creed, “all men are created equal,” was imperfect and incomplete in 1776, but the story of how subsequent generations made those words real is more dramatic and more unpredictable than you ever guessed. As the country marks its 250th birthday, Pulitzer Prize finalist Garrett M. Graff offers an inspiring and challenging new account of our past --- and what it means for our future. The opportunities and liberties so many of us now enjoy began as creative acts of imagination by individuals and groups excluded from the country’s ideals. Their efforts often came at great cost; many times, revolutions were set back for decades or longer.

Anita Brookner is famous for her quiet, incisive studies of solitary and emotionally restrained characters --- often middle-class women --- navigating loneliness, disappointment and small eruptions of desire beneath a façade of reserve. Yet as Hermione Lee demonstrates in her captivating and absorbing biography, Brookner the writer was the inventor of those lonely women, not their alter ego. Brookner herself was formidable, witty, elegant, precise and controlled. She was the first woman to hold the Slade Professorship of Fine Art at Cambridge. At her death in 2016, she left behind 25 novels, but very few personal papers survived. Now, in Hermione Lee’s book, Brookner’s character is revealed to us. This luminous portrait seamlessly weaves life and work into a vivid, insightful and riveting narrative that sheds a penetrating light on a writer --- and woman --- like no other.
