35 Books Librarians Have Recently Loved Romance, biography, manga, and so much more. Taylor Jenkins Reid's "Daisy Jones & The Six" Is BuzzFeed Book Club's September Pick. Everyone Is Either Katniss, Hermione, Or Bella Swan — Which One Are You? For Your Reading List Socialist Realism by Trisha Low Part memoir, part art criticism, part queer theory, part futuristic dream, Low's extraordinary book-length essay, Social Realism, grapples with questions that have obsessed me lately about modern living: How do we reconcile our desire for love and family with our desire to make the world a better place for everyone else? Is true revolution really possible? And does that even matter?  Reminiscent of Maggie Nelson's groundbreaking work, The Argonauts, Socialist Realism is breathtaking in its genre-bending, its excavation of American culture's sexism, racism and homophobia, and its unflinching, radical tenderness. The end had me in tears. I'm sure I'll return again and again to this remarkable little book.
