WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - September 2, 2015
In the Largehearted Word series, the staff of Brooklyn's WORD bookstore highlights several new books released this week.
WORD Bookstores are independent neighborhood bookstores in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Jersey City, New Jersey. Our primary goal is to be whatever our communities needs us to be, which currently means carrying everything from fiction to nonfiction to absurdly cute cards and stationery. In addition, we're fiends for a good event, from the classic author reading and Q&A to potlucks and a basketball league (and anything set in a bar). If a weekly dose of WORD here isn't enough for you, follow us on Twitter: @wordbookstores.
F*ck Feelings
by Michael Bennett and Sarah Bennett
Is something wrong or do you just feel that way? The answer is yes, and yes.
33 Artists in 3 Acts
by Sarah Thornton
A brilliant cross-section of the many, many possible approaches to merging livelihood and art.
Prison Island
by Colleen Frakes
Illustrator/librarian Colleen Frakes reflects on her childhood on McNeil Island in Washington State, which she shared with the last U.S. prison accessible only by air or sea (or swimming, if it's urgent).
The Language of Houses
by Alison Lurie
Pulitzer-winner Alison Lurie examines the how we shape the environments we inhabit, and how those environments in turn shape us.
