This novel opens on a battlefield: trudging back from the front through a ravaged and icy wasteland, their horses dying around them, their own hunger rendering them almost savage, the Russian soldiers are exhausted as they reach the city of Ufa, desperate for food and shelter. They find both, and then music and dance. And there, spinning unafraid among them, dancing for the soldiers and anyone else who'll watch him, is one small pale boy, Rudolf. This is Colum McCann's dancer: Rudolf, a prodigy at six years old, who became the greatest dancer of the century, who redefined dance, rewrote his own life, and died of AIDS before anyone knew he had it. This is an extraordinary life transformed into extraordinary fiction by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. 

Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, embarked in 1990 on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X - including siblings, classmates, friends, cellmates, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. His goal was ambitious: to transform what would become hundreds of hours of interviews into a portrait that would separate fact from fiction.

The result is this magisterial work that conjures a never-before-seen world of its protagonist, whose title is inspired by a phrase Malcolm X used when he saw his followers stir with purpose to overcome the obstacles of racism.

The United States is the richest country on earth yet has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. One in seven Americans live below the poverty line a line which hasn't shifted over the last fifty years despite the efforts of successive governments and extensive relief programs. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars? In Poverty by America acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines the nature of American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it. Spanning racism social isolation mass incarceration the housing crisis domestic violence crack and opioid epidemics welfare cuts and more Desmond argues that poverty does not result from a lack of resources or good policy ideas.

We already know how to eliminate it. The hard part is getting more of us to care. To do so we need a new story. As things stand liberals explain poverty through insurmountable structural issues whereas conservatives highlight personal failings and poor life choices. Both analyses abdicate responsibility and ignore the reality that the advantages of the rich only come at the expense of the poor. It is time better-paid citizens put themselves back in the narrative recognizing that the depth and expanse of poverty in any nation reflects our failure to look out for one another. Poverty must ultimately be met by community: all this suffering and want is our doing and we can undo it.
