Holiday
Gift The holidays are a season of joy.
And for those who love books,
whether giving or receiving,
the holidays are the perfect
time to have lots of joy.
Guide
2018
In addition to offering infinite
experiences between their
covers, books are easy to wrap
(no box required), very
portable, and very affordable
(even the most luxurious coffee
table book will be less pricey than the ugly sweater that will never be worn,
or the hand-crafted ceramic object that will be live in a closet forever). The
hard part is finding the right book for each person. Here’s help! PW has
compiled lists of 2018 books for every interest and taste, conveniently
organized into categories to satisfy every bookish appetite.
Happy holidays, and happy reading!

Brenda Hillman. Wesleyan Univ., ISBN 978-0-8195-7805-1
Hillman, winner of the 2014 Griffin Poetry Prize, continues
her sustained attention to the natural elements in her 10th
and most lavish collection. Having written four previous
books, each addressing one of the four traditional elements of
nature, here she considers wood as a fifth element. The book
includes gorgeous long-form elegies, poems of witness and
social activism, and odes to the national forest and seashore.
If They Come for Us

Fatimah Asghar. One World, ISBN 978-0-525-50978-3
In this awe-inspiring debut, Asghar, writer of the Emmy-
nominated web series Brown Girls, explores the painful, some-
times psychologically debilitating journey of establishing her
identity as a queer brown woman within the confines of white
America. Honest, personal, and intimate without being insu-
lar or myopic, Asghar’s collection reveals a sense of strength
and hope found in identity and cultural history.
Junk
Tommy Pico. Tin House, ISBN 978-1-941040-97-3
Pico concludes his stellar Teebs trilogy in this frenetic book-
length poem, a visceral exorcism of personal and collective
demons. He draws formal inspiration from A.R. Ammons’s
Garbage, but “Junk isn’t/ garbage It’s not outlived its purpose.”

Natasha Trethewey. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,
ISBN 978-1-328-50784-6
The first retrospective from a two-term U.S. poet laureate
and Pulitzer Prize winner layers joy and urgent defiance.
Longlisted for this year’s National Book Award, the collection
draws together verse that delineates the stories of working-
class African-American women, a mixed-race prostitute, one
of the first black Civil War regiments, mestizo and mulatto
figures in casta paintings, and Gulf coast victims of Katrina.

The Debatable Land:
The Lost World Between Scotland and England
Graham Robb. Norton, ISBN 978-0-393-28532-1
Robb’s move to the “Debatable Land” on the border between
present-day England and Scotland inspired this combina-
tion bicycle travelogue, regional history, and declaration of
admiration. In ancient times, the 33,000 acres on either side
of the border were uninhabited, left as communal livestock
pastures; later it was home to feuding families and rife with
mythology. Robb ruminates through the Celtic, medieval,
and present eras, and readers are lucky to join him on his enthralling journey.

How Judaism Became an American Religion
Steven R. Weisman. Simon & Schuster,
ISBN 978-1-4165-7326-5
Focusing mainly on the 19th century, this expertly told
history from Weisman explores conflicts between tradition
and modernity within Judaism that first played out in
Charleston, S.C., in 1841, and still resonate today. The les-
son of the history, writes Weisman, is, “Jews should be
unafraid to stand up for how they want to pursue their var-

will be enlightened by this lucid and entertaining history.

led her to an obsessive investigation of the alleged
suicide. The result is a page-turning look at the
darker impulses of the human psyche.

Moebius Library:
Inside Moebius, Part 1
Jean “Moebius” Giraud, trans. from the
French by Diana Schutz. Dark Horse,
ISBN 978-1-5067-0320-6
Dark Horse’s beautifully produced
Moebius Library continues with a
meandering, experimental self-exam-
ination from late in the artist’s career
(he died in 2012). Drawn during the 2000s, when Giraud
was in his 60s and 70s, the work depicts the artist’s wander-
ings through the air, locked in a box, and holding confabs
with his characters. With his lifetime of experience, draw-
ing is as automatic as breathing, and his pages are carelessly
gorgeous.

Another Eisner Award–winner,
Kuper brilliantly accentuates both the

Kafka’s short stories in this graphic
collection. Using a scratchboard
technique to mimic the woodcut style
of German expressionism, Kuper
emphasizes the ways Kafka addressed
social injustices rather than simply focusing on his trade-

hit so hard, nor more artfully.

A Provocative First
Children of Blood and Bone
Tomi Adeyemi. Holt, ISBN 978-1-250-17097-2
Eleven years ago, King Saran cemented his grip on the
throne by banishing magic from Orïsha and slaughtering the
realm’s maji. The maji’s descendents have lived under
tyranny ever since, but now there is cause for hope. Book
one in the Orïsha Legacy trilogy, Adeyemi’s devastating
debut is a brutal, beautiful tale of revolution, faith, and
star-crossed love. By making tangible the power that comes
from embracing one’s heritage, Adeyemi conjures a story
that resonates with magic both literal and figurative while
condemning apathy in the face of injustice. Complex charac-
ters, colossal stakes, and a kaleidoscopic narrative captivate,
and the book’s punishing pace catapults readers to a jaw-
dropping conclusion that poses as many questions as it
answers. Ages 14–up.
