It may not feel like fall in the Old Pueblo just yet, but the Tucson Festival of Books has compiled a list of new releases that are not to be missed.
Special to the Arizona Daily Star It takes a while for autumn to feel much different than summer in Arizona, but booksellers feel it. Readers feel it. Most of the year’s best books will be released in the next 10 weeks, and the fall release season is already underway.
“Woman Without Shame” is Sandra Cisneros’ first collection of poetry in 28 years. It offers songs, elegies and reflections on her life as an artist. She ruminates on memory, desire, love and her search for home. “Women Without Shame” was released two weeks ago. Cisneros will be in Tucson for an appearance at the UA Poetry Center on Nov. 10. — Ellen Dickinson
“Dinners With Ruth” by Nina Totenberg. Released two weeks ago, this is a remarkably personal memoir recounting Totenberg’s unlikely friendship with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. It began when Totenberg, then a reporter for the National Observer, called a young lawyer named Ruth to discuss Ginsberg’s petition to the Supreme Court — the historic brief that asked the court to declare sexual discrimination unconstitutional. Their friendship continued until the day Ginsberg died.
“The Grandest Stage” by Tyler Kepner is a history of the World Series, released on Oct. 11, just as the MLB postseason gets underway. This will be the 118th World Series and we’re in good hands with Kepner. He is the national baseball columnist for the New York Times. — Jack Siry
