Good morning. Now that we’ve devoured the final pages of our poolside page-turners, can we agree that fall is the coziest season for reading? Today, our editors and contributors share the new and forthcoming titles they’re most eager to sink their teeth into — from critic Hettie Judah’s art history of motherhood to a monograph of Indigenous artist Sonya Kelliher-Combs.
Bibliophiles should also check out AX Mina’s review of a new book about the history of the world’s most popular tarot deck, developed by Brooklyn-born poet and mystic Arthur E. Waite and Pratt-educated artist Pamela Colman Smith. And speaking of Brooklyn, the new documentary Emergent City (2024) follows Sunset Park locals fighting against a proposed zoning change that would ramp up development in the neighborhood.
Read all about the Art Institute of Chicago’s big news, a protest at the Toronto International Film Festival, and much more below.
