White Riot: Punk Rock and the Politics of Race by editors Stephen Duncombe and Maxwell Tremblay (July 18)
Verso gives us an engaging collection of political essays about race and representation in punk from critics like Greil Marcus to Paul Simonon of the Clash. The book features photos, lyrics, letters, and accessible articles from musicians and academics concerned about the greater issues in revolutionary music.

The Curfew…oh, that could go on the “horribly sad reads” list.
Ed. in the White Riot article, I believe the basist from the clash’s name is spelled “Simonon”
That’s a very personal list. Not my tastes at all. The Vonnegut is a good choice. I’ll buy that.
wanna read the sex lives of cannibals. just haven’t got to it.
A book about ESTONIA! My heavens!

Wow…interesting books….I’m definitely going to add one or two to my list. I am a little bit disappointed in the lack of range in terms of genre and authors. There’s not a lot of diversity on this list at all. I’d also have included:
- Pym by Mat Johnson
- The Uncoupling, Meg Wolitzer
- In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson,
- The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Safron
- Between Parentheses, Roberto Bolano
- If Sons, Then Heirs, Lorene Cary
Good selections, to be sure. I’d add two more which sound promising: The Sisters Brothers, and in the non-fiction realm, Driving With Plato.
