Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller Browsing the bookshelves for something new to read is a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon—or any afternoon for that matter. So, may we suggest you take Michiko Kakutani's Ex Libris with you? Reading Ex Libris is like bumping into Kakutani at a party where she takes you around the room. The way she introduces each author and book makes you not only want to read that book as soon as possible but also devour pretty much everything that author has ever written. A feast for the eyes and mind, you’ll never go hungry for something to read with Ex Libris in your hand. This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition includes a classic ribbon marker. Pulitzer Prize–winning literary critic Michiko Kakutani shares her enthusiasm for more than 100 books in a series of succinct, thought-provoking essays.   “Books can connect people across time zones and zip codes, across cultures, national boundaries, and historical eras,” Kakutani writes in her introduction to Ex Libris. Here readers will discover novels and memoirs by some of the most gifted writers working today; favorite classics worth reading or rereading; and nonfiction works, both old and new, that illuminate our social and political landscape and some of today’s most pressing issues, from climate change to medicine to the consequences of digital innovation. There are essential works in American history (The Federalist Papers, The Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.); books that address timely cultural dynamics (Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction, Daniel J. Boorstin's The Image, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale); classics of children's literature (the Harry Potter novels, Where the Wild Things Are); and novels by acclaimed contemporary writers like Don DeLillo, William Gibson, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Ian McEwan.   With Dana Tanamachi’s richly detailed illustrations that evoke vintage bookplates, Ex Libris is an impassioned reminder of why reading matters more than ever.
