“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language,” wrote Henry James, and though we at LOA would tend to agree, we’d posit one more pairing we think equally enthralling: new books! We’re thrilled to share this preview of titles coming out in the first half of 2024, including a searing collection of firsthand dispatches from Jim Crow America; a keepsake edition of a beloved American poet for his 150th birthday; the introduction of three new writers to the series; two laugh-out-loud paperbacks from a master of “wordplay, witticism, spoofery, and sheer nonsense,” and much more.

Nice lineup for the Le Guin, exactly what I would have hoped for. I've actually never read any of her non-series novels, so I am happy for the incentive to do so.
