February 16, 2020

Community Bookstore’s pick: “American Lucifers,” by Jeremy Zallen Subtitled “The Dark History of Artificial Light, 1750–1865,” this book goes from the tallow candles that lit the colonies, to the whale oil lamps, and then coal-powered electricity that allowed for the around-the-clock labor (particularly by children and the enslaved) through which a new nation grew.

Community Bookstore’s pick: “Fra Keeler,” by Azareen Van Der Vliet Oloomi A man buys the home of the recently deceased Fra Keeler, and upon moving in becomes consumed with the question of what caused her mysterious death.

Weekend Reads! Brooklyn booksellers give us their recommendations

January 19, 2020

Word’s picks: “Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick,” by Zora Neale Hurston The title of this collection of “lost stories” from renowned Black writer and ethnographer Zora Neale Hurston encapsulates her very unique way of framing complex, subversive ideas about race, gender, and class within the assumed narrative confines of heterosexual and familial relationships. Balancing local folklore and highly specific dialect with delicate prose, Hurston uses her “crooked stick” to deliver hard truths about America’s troubled past that prove shockingly relevant as we enter 2020. — Althea Meer, Word 126 Franklin St. at Milton Street in Greenpoint, (718) 383–0096, www.wordbookstores.com.
