Dec '22 Notable Books: Bethany Brookshire & Marguerite Duras

A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...

The Easy Life - Marguerite Duras (Dec. 6) - An extraordinary examination of a young woman's estrangement from the world that only Marguerite Duras could have written, The Easy Life is a work of unsettling beauty and insight, and a bold, spellbinding journey into the depths of the human heart.

Pests - Bethany Brookshire (Dec. 6) - An engrossing and revealing study of why we deem certain animals "pests" and others not—from cats to rats, elephants to pigeons — and what this tells us about our own perceptions, beliefs, and actions, as well as our place in the natural world.
