A life story can be read for escapist pleasure. But at other times, reading a memoir or biography can be an expansive exercise, opening us up to broader truths about our world. Often, it’s an edifying experience that reminds us of our universal human vulnerability and the common quest for purpose in life.

Biographies and memoirs charting remarkable lives—whether because of fame, fortune or simply fascination—have the power to inspire us for their depth, curiosity or challenges. This year sees a bumper calendar of personal histories enter bookshops, grappling with enigmatic public figures like singer Joni Mitchell and writer Ian Fleming , to nuanced analysis of how motherhood or sociopathy shape our lives—for better and for worse.

Here we compile some of the most rewarding biographies and memoirs out in 2024. There are stories of trauma and recovery, art as politics and politics as art, and sentences as single life lessons spread across books that will make you rethink much about personal life stories. After all, understanding the triumphs and trials of others can help us see how we can change our own lives to create something different or even better.
Zodiac: A Graphic Memoir by Ai Weiwei and illustrated by Gianluca Costantini
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with an line drawing illustration of an Asian warrior](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-1.jpg?quality=80)
Ai Weiwei , the iconoclastic artist and fierce critic of his homeland China, mixes fairy tales with moral lessons to evocatively retrace the story of his life in graphic form. Illustrations are by Italian artist Gianluca Costantini . “Any artist who isn’t an activist is a dead artist,” Weiwei writes in Zodiac , as he embraces everything from animals found in the Chinese zodiac to mystical folklore tales with anamorphic animals to argue the necessity of art as politics incarnate. The meditative exercise uses pithy anecdotes alongside striking visuals to sketch out a remarkable life story marked by struggle. It’s one weaving political manifesto, philosophy and personal memoir to engage readers on the necessity of art and agitation against authority in a world where we sometimes must resist and fight back.
Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with the words Alphabet diagonally set and Diaries horizontally set](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-2.jpg?quality=80)
Already well-known for her experimental writings, Sheila Heti takes a decade of diary entries and maps sentences against the alphabet, from A to Z. The project is a subversive rethink of our relationship to introspection—which often asks for order and clarity, like in diary writing—that maps new patterns and themes in its disjointed form. Heti plays with both her confessionals and her sometimes formulaic writing style (like knowingly using “Of course” in entries) to retrace the changes made (and unmade) across ten years of her life. Alphabetical Diaries is a sometimes demanding book given the incoherence of its entries, but remains an illuminating project in thinking about efforts at self-documentation.
Splinters: Another Kind of Love Story by Leslie Jamison
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with a collage of photographs](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-3.jpg?quality=80)
Unlike her previous work The Empathy Exams , which examined how we relate to one another and on human suffering, writer Leslie Jamison wrestles today with her own failed marriage and the grief of surviving single parenting. After the birth of her daughter, Jamison divorces her partner “C,” traverses the trials and tribulations of rebound relationships (including with “an ex-philosopher”) and confronts unresolved emotional pains born of her own life living under the divorce of her parents. In her intimate retelling—paired with her superb prose—Jamison charts a personal history that acknowledges the unending divide mothers (and others) face dividing themselves between partners, children and their own lives.
Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring by Brad Gooch
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with a photo of a man sitting in a chair; he's spreading his legs and covering his mouth with his hand](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-4.jpg?quality=80)
Whether dancing figures or a “radiant baby,” the recognizable cartoonish symbols in Keith Haring ’s art endure today as shorthand signs representing both his playfulness and politicking. Haring (1958-1990) is the subject of writer Brad Gooch ’s deft biography, Radiant , a book that mines new material from the archive along with interviews with contemporaries to reappraise the influential quasi-celebrity artist. From rough beginnings tagging graffiti on New York City walls to cavorting with Andy Warhol and Madonna on art pieces, Haring battled everything from claims of selling out to over-simplicity. But he persisted with work that leveraged catchy quotes and colorful imagery to advance unsavory political messages—from AIDS to crack cocaine. A life tragically cut short at 31 is one powerfully celebrated in this new noble portrait.
The House of Hidden Meanings by RuPaul Charles
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with a close-up headshot of a man with a goatee in black and white](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-5.jpg?quality=80)
In The House of Hidden Meaning , celebrated drag queen, RuPaul , reckons with a murky inner world that has shaped—and hindered—a lifetime of gender-bending theatricality. The figurative house at the center of the story is his “ego,” a plaguing barrier that apparently long inhibited the performer from realizing dreams of greatness. Now as the world’s most recognizable drag queen—having popularized the art form for mainstream audiences with the TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race —RuPaul reflects on the power that drag and self-love have long offered across his difficult, and sometimes tortured, life. Readers expecting dishy stories may be disappointed, but the psychological self-assessment in the pages of this memoir is far more edifying than Hollywood gossip could ever be.
Sociopath: A Memoir by Patric Gagne
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with text on the bottom and a photograph of a young girl's face on top](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-6.jpg?quality=80)
Patric Gagne is an unlikely subject for a memoir on sociopaths. Especially since she is a former therapist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. Still, Gagne makes the case that after a troubled childhood of antisocial behavior (like stealing trinkets and cursing teachers) and a difficult adulthood (now stealing credit cards and fighting authority figures), she receives a diagnosis of sociopathy. Her memoir recounts many episodes of bad behavior—deeds often marked by a lack of empathy, guilt or even common decency—where her great antipathy mars any ability for her to connect with others. Sociopath is a rewarding personal exposé that demystifies one vilified psychological condition so often seen as entirely untreatable or irreparable. Only now there’s a familiar face and a real story linked to the prognosis.
Ian Fleming: The Complete Man by Nicholas Shakespeare
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with a black and white portrait of a man with short hair wearing a white shirt](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-7.jpg?quality=80)
Nicholas Shakespeare is an acclaimed novelist and an astute biographer, delivering tales that wield a discerning eye to subjects and embrace a robust attention to detail. Ian Fleming (1908-1964), the legendary creator of James Bond, is the latest to receive Shakespeare’s treatment. With access to new family materials from the Fleming estate, the seemingly contradictory Fleming is seen anew as a totally “different person” from his popular image. Taking cues from Fleming’s life story—from a refined upbringing spent in expensive private schools to working for Reuters as a journalist in the Soviet Union—Shakespeare reveals how these experiences shaped the elusive world of espionage and intrigue created in Fleming’s novels. Other insights include how Bond was likely informed by Fleming’s cavalier father, a major who fought in WWI. A martini (shaken, not stirred) is best enjoyed with this bio.
Knife: Meditations after an Attempted Murder by Salman Rushdie
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with the word KNIFE where the I is a blade](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-8.jpg?quality=80)
Salman Rushdie , while giving a rare public lecture in New York in August 2022, was violently stabbed by an assailant brandishing a knife . The attack saw Rushdie lose his left hand and his sight in one eye. Speaking to The New Yorker a year later , he confirmed a memoir was in the works that would confront this harrowing existential experience: “When somebody sticks a knife into you, that’s a first-person story. That’s an ‘I’ story.” Knife: Meditations after an Attempted Murder is promised to be his raw, revelatory and deeply psychological confrontation with the violent incident. Like the sword of Damocles, brutality has long stalked Rushdie ever since the 1989 fatwa issued against the author, following the publication of his controversial novel, The Satanic Verses . The answer to such barbarity, Rushdie is poised to argue, is by finding the strength to stand up again.
The Art of Dying: Writings, 2019–2022 by Peter Schjeldahl (Release: May 14)
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with what appear to be mock up book pages with black text on white](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Best-New-Biographies-and-Memoirs-9.jpg?quality=80)
Peter Schjeldahl (1942-2022), longstanding art critic of The New Yorker , confronted his mortality when he was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer in 2019. The resulting essay collection he then penned, The Art of Dying , is a masterful meditation on one life preoccupied entirely with aesthetics and criticism. It’s a discursive tactic for a memoir that avoids discussing Schjeldahl’s coming demise while equally confirming its impending visit by avoiding it. Acknowledging that he finds himself “thinking about death less than I used to,” Schjeldahl spends most of the pages revisiting familiar art subjects—from Edward Hopper ’s output to Peter Saul ’s Pop Art—as vehicles to re-examine his own remarkable life. With a life that began in the humble Midwest, Schjeldahl says his birthplace was one that ultimately availed him to write so plainly and cogently on art throughout his career. Such posthumous musings prove illuminating lessons on the potency of American art, with whispered asides on the tragedy of death that will come for all of us.
Traveling: On the Path of Joni Mitchell by Ann Powers (Release: June 11)
![new book releases 2022 autobiography A book cover with a black and white photograph of a woman holding an acoustic guitar](https://observer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Joni-Mitchell-biography.jpg?quality=80)
Joni Mitchell has enjoyed a remarkable revival recently, even already being one of the most acclaimed and enduring singer/songwriters. After retiring from public appearances for health reasons in the 2010s, Mitchell, 80, has returned to the spotlight with a 2021 Kennedy Centers honor , an appearance accepting the 2023 Gershwin Prize and even a live performance at this year’s Grammy Awards . It’s against this backdrop of public celebration of Mitchell that NPR music critic Ann Powers retraces the life story and musical (re)evolution of the singer, from folk to jazz genres and rock to soul music, across five decades for the American songbook. “What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell,” she writes in the introduction. Instead, Powers’ project is one showing how Mitchell’s many journeys—from literal road trips inspiring tracks like “All I Want” to inner probings of Mitchell’s psyche, such as the song “Both Sides Now”—have always inspired Mitchell’s enduring, emotive and palpable output. These travels hold the key, Powers says, to understanding an enigmatic artist.

Are you dreaming of a summer holiday? Perhaps you're fantasising of afternoons spent lying on the beach or by the pool — chilly January days just a mere memory... And there's nothing that says holiday quite like a new book.
Autobiographical writing is a skill that is hard to master. Done well, it can give you a behind the scenes peek into the world of your favourite star, or give you an insight into historical events and cultural context that would otherwise be near impossible to understand.
While books can make some of the best gifts for others they also can be a great gift for yourself — especially if you're looking to take a break from the screens that surround us in modern life. We love the experience of going into a bookshop, looking at all the covers and picking out a few new titles. But life can get busy, and it can be tricky to find the time to continue to support your local bookshop. Shopping from a site like Bookshop.org also lets you support independent bookshops from home.
Having said that, reading a physical book isn't the only way to enjoy these amazing stories.
Getting a Kindle can be a great way to carry lots of books round with you if you're travelling, and you can often download books for a much lower cost. Listening to audiobooks is also a great way to stay on top of your reading when you're on the go. Amazon Audible lets you download books onto your phone and listen as you go, and it's also running a 30-day UK free trial right now.

Open, andre agassi.
![Open Andre Agassi Open Andre Agassi](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-40-e1c83cb.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
Written in 2009, this is the autobiography of the American former World No.1 tennis player, Andre Agassi. Written in collaboration with JR Moehringer from a collection of hundreds of hours of tapes, this memoir gives top insight into the life of a professional sportsperson.
Agassi's was a career of fierce rivalries and it's fascinating to hear these from the perspective of an insider. Like many high-performing careers, in sport children are singled out for their talent at a young age, and Agassi describes the intensity of training for himself and his fellow tennis players in their collective pursuit of excellence.
This book would make a great present for any tennis fan, and gives an interesting insight into the man behind the nickname 'The Punisher'.

Everything I Know About Love, Dolly Alderton
![Dolly Alderton Everything I Know About Love Dolly Alderton Everything I Know About Love](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-60-70b50e2.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
Everything I Know About Love follows Times columnist Dolly Alderton through her early life and 20s. It tackles themes of dating, love, friendship as Alderton comes of age and grows into herself. Dispersed with recipes in the style of Nora Ephron's Heartburn, the book gained a cult following since it was published in 2018 and won a National Book Award (UK) for best autobiography of the year.
Alderton's memoir has also now been turned into a BBC TV show which follows a fictionalised version of Alderton and her friends as they navigate life in London.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou
![I know why the caged birds sing Maya Angelou I know why the caged birds sing Maya Angelou](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-42-7b68f04.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings is the first of seven autobiographies Angelou wrote about her life. It follows her childhood, beginning when she's just three years old and spanning to when she is 16 — from her time as a child to when she had a child herself. The book follows the young Maya as she and her brother Bailey are moved between family members following the separation of her parents.
Discussing themes of racism, sexual assault and displacement, the expertly crafted narrative is widely taught in schools here and in the US. Written in the aftermath of the death of Martin Luther King Jr in 1968, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings became an instant classic and is a must-read.
Buy I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou from £4.99 at Amazon
Wild Swans, Jung Chang
![Wild Swans Jung Chang Wild Swans Jung Chang](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-43-1c93ef7.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
Slightly different from traditional first person autobiographies, in this book Jung Chang tells the stories of three generations of women in her own family — her grandmother, her mother and herself. At a time when China is becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, this book provides vital context into the 20th century history of the country.
Through the stories of her grandmother who was given to a warlord as a concubine, and her mother who was a young idealist during the rise of Communism, she captures moments of bravery, fear, and ultimately survival.
The book, which is banned in China, has sold more than 13 million copies worldwide and is as beautifully written as it is educationally fascinating.
Buy Wild Swans by Jung Chang from £4.49 at Amazon
The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion
![The Year of Magical Thinking Joan Didion The Year of Magical Thinking Joan Didion](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-44-76411a3.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
Published in 2005 when it went on to win Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography, this book follows Didion in the year after her the death of her husband of nearly 40 years, John Gregory Dunne. In this harrowing depiction of grief, love and loss, Didion turns her personal experience into one that is universally relatable.
Didion and Donne's adopted daughter Quintana fell ill days before his death and was still in hospital when he died. Didion recounts her experience caring for her throughout the book, all while going through her own grief.
While not an easy read, this is an incredibly powerful one.

The Princess Diarist, Carrie Fisher
![The Female Diarist Carrie Fisher The Female Diarist Carrie Fisher](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-45-2561da6.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
This might be an obvious choice for any Star Wars fan, but we think the appeal of this book stretches far beyond just that. Made up of the diaries Fisher wrote when she was 19 years old and first started playing Princess Leia, the book was released shortly before her death in 2016.
Any peak behind the scenes of such a well-known franchise is bound to be popular, and this examines her experience as a young adult thrust into the world of fame and sex. Unlike her deeply person earlier memoir Wishful Drinking, in which Fisher described her struggles with mental illness, The Princess Diarist is full of bombshell revelations and funny punchlines, making for an enjoyable read.

The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank
![The Diary of a Young Girl Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl Anne Frank](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-46-a0dbfe0.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
The title of this book is clever because in so many ways, Anne Frank's diary is just that — the diary of a young girl. But it is also a vital account of history.
Starting on her 13th birthday, Anne writes about her life with her family living in Amsterdam from 1942 to 1944. Alongside other Jews, Anne and her family go into hiding to escape persecution from the Nazis. She deals with all the feeling teenagers experience growing up, but also grapples with her isolation, lack of freedom, and trying to understand what is happening in the world around her.
Important reading for young people and adults alike, Anne's writing brings home the realities of human suffering levelled upon the Jewish people by the Nazis. Anne's father Otto Frank was the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust, and he published his daughter's diary in line with her wishes.

All Creatures Great and Small, James Herriot
![All Creatures great and Small James herriot All Creatures great and Small James herriot](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-47-ba4d58f.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
This book would make a great gift for the animal lover in your life, or any fan of the great outdoors. In it, James Herriot recounts his experiences as a newly qualified vet working in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1930s.
The first in his series of memoirs, All Creatures Great and Small finds Herriot in situations where there are high stakes, and more often than not some hilarity (think escaped pigs!). In the years since their first publication, the books have become classics.
If you want more of All Creatures Great and Small, there is also a TV adaptation to get stuck into.
Buy All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot from £8.54 at Bookshop.org
This is Going to Hurt, Adam Kay

This autobiography follows Adam Kay through his years as a junior doctor specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology and working within the NHS. It will have you crying of laughter and sorrow as the young doctor finds himself helping people from all walks of life, all while his own personal life falls into disarray.
Kay's debut publication was the bestselling non-fiction title of 2018 in the UK and stayed at the top of the charts for weeks.
This is Going to Hurt was adapted into a limited drama series by the BBC earlier this year starring Ben Whishaw, which used elements of the book to explore wider themes around health and the NHS.

Long Walk to Freedom, Nelson Mandela

This autobiography hardly needs an introduction. It tells the life story of former South African President and antiapartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela, covering his childhood, education and the 27 years he spent in prison.
Mandela is internationally praised for overcoming enormous persecution and struggle, rebuilding South Africa's society as President. The film adaptation of his autobiography stars Idris Elba as Mandela, and was released shortly after his death.
The Kindle edition and paperback copy of this book starts from just £6.99.

I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jennette McCurdy

Jennette McCurdy's memoir has been one of the most talked about books of 2022. A former child star best know for her role on Nickelodeon's iCarly in the USA, McCurdy's memoir describes her experience growing up in the limelight with an abusive parent.
The book's title has, unsurprisingly, been a big talking point, but it addresses an issue faced by many who write about their life experiences — how do you write about your true experience without damaging your relationships? In this frank and often funny book, McCurdy describes the emotional complexity of receiving abuse from someone you love.

Dreams From My Father, Barack Obama
![Dreams from my father Barack Obama Dreams from my father Barack Obama](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/12/Untitled-design-51-e95e07d.png?quality=90&fit=620,413)
Published nearly 15 years before he became President of the United States, Barack Obama's first memoir is a deep exploration into identity and belonging. In this book which begins with him learning about his father's death, Obama explores his own relationship with race as the son of a Black Kenyan father and a white American mother.
Written with his recognisable voice, Obama travels back to Kansas where his mother's family is from (they later moved to Hawaii where Obama spent most of his childhood) before making the journey to Kenya.
This makes an interesting read not only to learn more about the background of a man who holds such an important place in America's history, but also in shedding light on how we all relate to our own parentage and what makes us who we are.

America's former First Lady Michelle Obama recounts experiences of her life in this record breaking autobiography, from growing up on the south side of Chicago with her parents and brother, to attending Princeton University and Harvard Law School before returning to Chicago as a qualified lawyer. It was whilst working at a law firm in the city that she met her husband Barack Obama.
Obama uses her elegant story telling to take us along on the incredible journey she went on, as an accomplished lawyer, daughter, wife and mother to becoming First Lady. This is an autobiography that lets you see history from the insider's perspective and is definitely a must read.

Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman, Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman was much loved for his roles in fan favourite films, such as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series. This collection of diary entries, written with the intention of being made public and published after his death, give his witty insights into his day-to-day life but also his take on world events.
The book is filled not only with delightful showbiz gossip, but also with snippets of hidden moments — from his disbelief and grief at the sudden death of actor and friend Natasha Richardson, to the relief he feels that the costume for Severus Snape still fits.

Just Kids, Patti Smith

On its release in 2010, Patti Smith's memoir won the US National Book Award for Nonfiction. In many ways it is a love letter to her life long friend, the artist Robert Mapplethorpe. In Just Kids, she recounts their meeting, romance and how they continued to inspire and encourage each other in their artistic pursuits for the rest of their lives.
This story which so vividly depicts life is, however, overshadowed by Mapplethorpe's death. Read for a vivid description of the New York art scene in the late '60s.

In this autobiography, Cheryl Strayed writes about hiking the Pacific Coast Trail, from the Mojave Desert in California to Washington State in the Pacific North West. In total, Strayed walks over a thousand miles on her own and in the process, she walked back to herself.
This memoir is beautifully written, moving between stories from the trail to those about Strayed's childhood, her struggles with heroin use and the sudden death of her mother — the main motivation for her walk. Full of suspense, warmth and humour, this book will make you think about your life and your family, and probably make you want to go on a walk.
Wild was adapted into a film in 2014, produced by and starring Reese Witherspoon.

Taste, Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci has long been beloved for his nuanced and charming acting performances, but in the last few years has gained popularity for his true love — food. Between his CNN series Searching for Italy making us all cross eyed with food envy, and his cookbook The Tucci Table written with wife Felicity Blunt, there's no getting away from the fact that Stanley Tucci is giving Italian food an even better name than it had already.
But there's a good reason for Tucci's renewed love of food and his devotion to these passion projects. He was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2018 which left him unable to eat for several months, and even after he was able to eat again, his sense of taste was changed. In this memoir, he recounts his early relationship with food in his grandparent's kitchen and at his parent's table, and how his relationship with food has shaped all the loves of his life.
We recommend having a bowl of pasta in front of you while you read this!

Educated, Tara Westover

This is a frankly astonishing memoir in which Tara Westover recounts how she came from a Mormon fundamentalist background without a birth certificate or any schooling, and ended up studying for her PhD at the University of Cambridge.
Westover gives readers a peak behind the curtain into the lifestyle of a group who do everything they can to stay away from the outside world. She recounts the experience of herself and her siblings as they grew up in an environment where they were often injured and didn't have access to medical help.
The juxtaposition of loving her family and yet needing to escape is acutely described, and she writes so cleverly about the complex subject matter, often admitting that her version of events may not be the correct one. Westover expertly uses her own story to examine themes of religion, love and above all education - and we promise you won't be able to put it down.

Two women, centuries apart—one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare’s plays—are forced to hide behind another name to make their voice heard.
In 1581, Emilia Bassano—like most young women of her day—is allowed no voice of her own. But as the Lord Chamberlain’s mistress, she has access to all theater in England, and finds a way to bring her work to the stage secretly. And yet, creating some of the world’s greatest dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost: by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history.
In the present, playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although the challenges are different four hundred years later, the playing field is still not level for women in theater. Would Melina—like Emilia—be willing to forfeit her credit as author, just for a chance to see her work performed?
Told in intertwining narratives, this sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire asks what price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on—even if it means they will be forgotten.
Praise for By Any Other Name
Perennial best-seller Picoult, who has tackled such heady subjects as same-sex marriage, abortion, and racism, takes on another hot-button topic sure to ignite controversy and conversation, the question of Shakespearean authorship. In this dual timeline tale, struggling playwright Melina Green has written a play about her ancestor Emilia Bassano, who she believes really penned many of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. Frustrated with sexism in the New York theater scene in 2023, Melina pushes her Black male friend Andre, also a playwright, to claim credit for her work when a lauded but arrogant critic expresses interest in getting the play produced. This leads to a Shakespearean—or should it be Bassanian?—comedy of errors. At the same time, Picoult tells Emilia’s story. Forced to become a courtesan at 13, she eventually falls in love with a handsome nobleman, but when she gets pregnant, she’s married off to a brutal man and forced to find a way to earn a living penning poems and plays for a dissolute actor, namely, William Shakespeare. Some readers will undoubtedly quibble with Picoult’s conclusions about the Bard, but they’ll just as assuredly find themselves thoroughly engaged with the struggles of Emilia, Melina, and Andre as writers with the deck stacked against them in this timely and affecting tale. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Picoult’s many, many fans will pounce on her latest incisive, pot- stirring tale, while the Shakepearean theme will attract even more readers. YA: Teens reading Shakespeare in class will be intrigued by Picoult’s premise and the exploration of theater-world sexism and racism. Kristine Huntley, Booklist
By Any Other Name is named ELLE Magazine’s “Best New Books to Read This Summer”
Who was Shakespeare? Move over, Earl of Oxford and Francis Bacon: There’s another contender for the true author of plays attributed to the bard of Stratford—Emilia Bassano, a clever, outspoken, educated woman who takes center stage in Picoult’s spirited novel. Of Italian heritage, from a family of court musicians, Emilia was a hidden Jew and the courtesan of a much older nobleman who vetted plays to be performed for Queen Elizabeth. She was well traveled—unlike Shakespeare, she visited Italy and Denmark, where, Picoult imagines, she may have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern—and was familiar with court intrigue and English law. “Every gap in Shakespeare’s life or knowledge that has had to be explained away by scholars, she somehow fills,” Picoult writes. Encouraged by her lover, Emilia wrote plays and poetry, but 16th-century England was not ready for a female writer. Picoult interweaves Emilia’s story with that of her descendant Melina Green, an aspiring playwright, who encounters the same sexist barriers to making herself heard that Emilia faced. In alternating chapters, Picoult follows Melina’s frustrated efforts to get a play produced—a play about Emilia, who Melina is certain sold her work to Shakespeare. Melina’s play, By Any Other Name, “wasn’t meant to be a fiction; it was meant to be the resurrection of an erasure.” Picoult creates a richly detailed portrait of daily life in Elizabethan England, from sumptuous castles to seedy hovels… It’s Emilia’s story, and Picoult lovingly brings her to life. A vibrant tale of a remarkable woman. Kirkus

What if the greatest works of literature were a fraud?
1581 Emilia Bassano is allowed no voice of her own, but finds a way to bring her work to the stage secretly. Yet by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history. His name? William Shakespeare . . .
![new book releases 2022 autobiography UK flag](https://www.jodipicoult.com/i/pink-rose.png)
NOW Playwright Melina Green is fed up of never seeing her shows make the stage. Even in the 21st century it appears a woman’s voice is worth less than a man’s. So Melina takes a lesson from history. And makes a bargain with a man . . . Women have long been written out of history, but what if they held the pen all along?

As for today’s new books, the nonfiction offerings include the biography A Passionate Mind in Relentless Pursuit: The Vision of Mary McLeod Bethune by Noliwe Rooks, and the memoir Viewfinder: A Memoir of Seeing and Being Seen by Jon M. Chu and Jeremy McCarter.
Continuing on to fiction—specifically sci-fi—Keanu Reeves did a big one with China Miéville with The Book of Elsewhere . In romance, Timothy Janovsky’s queer romp You Had Me at Happy Hour has sexy sommeliers, The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton has bird nerds beefing, and Chatham Greenfield’s Time and Time Again is a queer, YA, and Jewish romance with a time loop. Now, if you’re wanting YA but of the more quirky and weird variety, there’s Kelly Murashige’s The Lost Souls of Benzaiten , in which the protagonist prays to be turned into a vacuum cleaner.
In the books featured below, there’s a romantasy with a powerful woman, a quarter-life crisis, sexy jewel thieves, messy historical fiction, and more.

She also knows that she has abilities she doesn’t quite understand, and that receiving help from the town’s blacksmith can be as vexing as it can be exhilarating.

Linh Ly is Doing Just Fine by Thao Votang
This cover simply gives . It gives color and style, but also a mood. A mood that Votang handles with a point-blank kind of humor.

Thing is, her mother doesn’t have the best record with men—as is evident by Linh Ly’s traumatic childhood. So, Linh decides to spy on her mother and follow her around on dates, which helps distract her from the absolute nothingness of her own dating life…and the shooting that happened at the university where Linh works.

But their mentor’s last wish, for the two of them to pull off one last, grand heist, throws the two back together. Each has a grudge against the other, but their journey thieving across Europe could change things.

The Modern Fairies by Clare Pollard
Let me share something from this book’s blurb that gagged me a bit:
“ Why don’t they tell you it is the beautiful princess who becomes the evil queen; that they are just the same person at different points in their story? “
Princesses and evil queens abound in the Baroness Marie D’Aulnoy’s literary salon in Paris during Louis XIV’s reign. There, a group of mostly women—and the recently widowed Charles Perrault—gather to tell what the hostess D’Aulnoy calls “comtes de fees,” or fairy tales. Meanwhile, D’Aulnoy’s life is its own kind of fairy tale, full of cruel twists, and when it gets revealed that there is a spy among her salon’s members after people get arrested for poisonings at Versailles, it becomes clear that telling stories comes with its own particular danger.

In the Shadow of the Fall by Tobi Ogundiran
If you’re in the market for mythology-inspired fantasy , this novella by Ogundiran follows the acolyte Ashâke, who seems to be the only follower of the orisha who they won’t speak to. After watching her peers become full priests, she tries to summon an orisha in desperation, but instead summons a centuries-old cosmic war, with herself placed right at the center.

Richard Branson to release updated autobiography
![new book releases 2022 autobiography Richard Branson holding a copy of Finding My Virginity next to his face](https://images.ctfassets.net/rxqefefl3t5b/481xFFNXknRM2TSo51b6lQ/3c5d92601f3e2ae91c37be2ece7c3c64/crop-DSC00133.jpg?fl=progressive&q=80)
Want to know more about Richard Branson? You’re in luck. Just in time for Christmas, Richard Branson is releasing an updated version of his autobiography Finding My Virginity. The new version will feature four new chapters revealing the Virgin Group founder’s professional and personal highs and lows since the book’s original release in 2017.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Richard Branson (@richardbranson)
Set for release through Penguin Random House on 24 November, the updated version includes details of the obstacles Richard faced during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, how he navigated both business and personal loss and how he made history as the first passenger to fly to space on his own spacecraft. Richard shares in his own words the details of his trip to space onboard Virgin Galactic ’s Unity 22 mission from the suspenseful moments leading up to launch day, to the interactions he had with family, colleagues and fellow space industry leaders, to how it felt to float amongst the stars.

Finding My Virginity is an intimate account of the past 25 years of Virgin’s almost 55-year history: the challenges, difficult decisions, and extraordinary ambitions behind Virgin’s unprecedented rise from family business to a global brand.

By Shawn McCreesh
In 2020, a few months before the last election, former President Donald J. Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, published a book about her uncle and how awful and psychologically warped she found him to be. At the time, her brother, Fred C. Trump III, put out a statement slamming his sister for such treachery.
Now, he’s wielding the knife. Next week, he will publish “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got to Be This Way,” a tell-all that puts the former president in a harsh light. The New York Times obtained a copy.
Fred and Mary Trump are the children of Fred Trump Jr., Donald’s older brother who struggled with alcoholism and died of a heart attack in 1981, when he was 42.
Fred Trump, 61, describes himself as fairly close to his uncle. He attended the 2017 inauguration (he writes that he had a better seat than John McCain) and visited the White House several times (the book includes a picture of its author sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office).
Once, while in the Oval Office, the elder Mr. Trump insisted that his nephew stay in the room for a phone call he was about to have with King Abdullah of Jordan. He put the call on speakerphone, so his nephew could hear the king thank Mr. Trump for killing an Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. “I killed him,” the former president boasted in front of his nephew, according to the book. “I killed him like a dog.”
But another White House meeting left the author with a chill, and, it is implied, the reason for writing the book.

National News | Melania Trump to release ‘intimate’ memoir with never-before-told stories
![Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump during the final day of the Republican National Convention Thursday, July 18, 2024, in Milwaukee. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya) Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump during the final day of the Republican National Convention Thursday, July 18, 2024, in Milwaukee. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)](https://www.nydailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/AP24201502801080.jpg?w=525)
The alleged tell-all, titled “Melania,” is the “powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has defined personal excellence, overcome adversity, and carved her own path,” according to a description on her website, where readers can pre-order the tome .
Copies of the black-covered hardback book with “Melania” written in white sell for $40, while a signed copy goes for $75. Each of those versions include 48 pages of color photos.
A collector’s edition of “Melania,” on which the color scheme is reversed, costs $150. That version is also signed and promises bonus photographs and a digital collectible.
Melania Trump’s life has long been shrouded in mystery. According to her White House biography page , she was born on April 26, 1970 in Novo Mesto, Slovenia .
As Melania Knauss, she worked as a model in Europe, but became a household name after marrying real estate mogul Donald Trump in 2005 and taking his surname. She gave birth to her only child, Barron Trump, in 2006.
Melania Trump long claimed to have graduated from the University of Ljubljana with a degree in architecture, which has been proven false . She has also said she speaks five languages, which too has been called into question .
Rarely is the enigmatic 54-year-old fashionista seen alongside her husband on the campaign trail, where he’s making his third bid for the U.S. presidency.
Melania was also absent from her husband’s criminal trial in March , where a jury agreed he falsified New York business records to cover up a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels regarding an alleged affair he had while married to the former first lady.
When he was found liable in January for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll after she accused him of rape, Melania kept a low profile as well. She rarely sits down for interviews, and when she does , they typically reveal very little.
One of Melania’s most talked about comments came in the form of a fashion statement. In 2018, she was photographed wearing a jacket with “ I really don’t care, do you? ” written across the back, while visiting a migrant children detention center in Texas. That outfit, she later said, was to tell “the left-wing media” she couldn’t be rattled.
It’s unclear to what degree Melania Trump’s memoir might address her husband’s trials and tribulations or how they’ve impacted her life. A spokesperson told The Associated Press no information was available other than the online press release from Skyhorse Publishing.
An exact release date for the book hasn’t been announced, though pre-order information on the website says to allow 12-16 weeks for delivery.

Trump rally shooter Thomas Crooks: Neighbors, classmates, employer speak
A 20-year-old man from Pennsylvania fired multiple shots at former President Donald Trump at a rally on Saturday evening.
A bullet grazed the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's upper right ear , leaving him bloodied but not seriously injured. One rally attendee was killed in the gunfire and two others were "critically injured," authorities later said.
Here's what we know:
Who is the shooter at the rally?
The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the person behind the assassination attempt. Agency officials released little additional information, saying its investigation remains active and ongoing. They did not indicate what Crooks' motive might have been.
Crooks worked at a nearby nursing home. An administrator there told USA TODAY that the company was shocked to learn of the shooting and that Crooks had passed a background check for his job.
What did Thomas Crooks do at the crime scene?
During the shooting Saturday, Trump's right ear was injured, seconds before he was whisked off stage by Secret Service personnel. One man attending the rally was killed and two others were injured; Crooks was then killed by Secret Service agents , authorities said.
FBI special agent Kevin Rojek said on a call with media Sunday afternoon that authorities found "a suspicious device" when they searched the shooter's vehicle. Bomb technicians inspected the device and rendered it safe.
"I'm not in a position to provide any expertise on the specific components of any potential bombs or suspicious packages," Rojek added.
Rojek said law enforcement is sending the rifle and Crooks' cell phone, along with other evidence, to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia "for processing and exploitation."
"We're in the process of searching his phone," Rojek said.
Maps and graphics: What happened in the Trump assassination attempt
What is Crooks' background?
Crooks is registered to vote as a Republican in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to county voter records. His voter registration status has been active since 2021.
Federal Election Commission records show that in January 2021, Crooks made a $15 donation to the Progressive Turnout Project, a group working to increase voter turnout for Democrats.
Born Sept. 20, 2003, Crooks does not have a criminal record in Pennsylvania, nor has he been sued there, according to state court records. There is no record of him in federal court databases, either.
Where did Thomas Crooks work?
Crooks worked as a dietary aid, a job that generally involves food preparation, at Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, less than a mile from his home. In a statement provided to USA TODAY on Sunday, Marcie Grimm, the facility's administrator, said she was "shocked and saddened to learn of his involvement."
"Thomas Matthew Crooks performed his job without concern and his background check was clean," Grimm said. "We are fully cooperating with law enforcement officials at this time. Due to the ongoing investigation, we cannot comment further on any specifics. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Former President Trump and the victims impacted by this terrible tragedy. We condemn all acts of violence."
The facility is owned by Kennett Square, Pennsylvania-based Genesis Healthcare. A job posting from the company for a dietary aid in the Pittsburgh area puts the pay at $16 an hour.
Thomas Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania
Crooks' home address is listed in Bethel Park, a suburb in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, voter records show. That three-bedroom brick house has been owned since 1998 by Matthew and Mary Crooks, who appear to be his parents. Telephone calls to the couple were not returned overnight.
Near the Crooks home, Dean Sierka, 52, said he had known Crooks and his parents for years, as neighbors separated by only a few houses. Sierka’s daughter attended school with Crooks from elementary school through Bethel Park High School, and said she remembers him as quiet and shy.
Dean and his daughter said they would see Crooks at least once a week, often when Crooks was walking to work.
“You wouldn’t have expected this,” Dean Sierka said. “The parents and the family are all really nice people.”

At Bethel Park High School
Thomas Crooks graduated two years ago from Bethel Park High School, the Bethel Park School District confirmed. He was included in a 2022 local news article about recipients of a National Math & Science Initiative Star Award at the public high school, which enrolls about 1,300 students.
Jason Kohler attended Bethel Park High School with Crooks and said he remembers the 20-year-old sat alone at lunch and was “bullied almost every day.” Kids picked on Crooks for wearing camouflage to class and his quiet demeanor, Kohler, 21, said.
Since hearing Crooks has been named as the shooter, Kohler has been speaking with classmates who knew him, most of whom are stunned by the news.“It’s really hard to comprehend,” he said.
Sean Eckert said he went to school with Crooks from 5th through 12th grade. He said Crooks always went by “Tom.“
They shared classes together in elementary and middle school. Eckert said Crooks, though "fairly smart," was quiet and rarely spoke up.
Eckert said Crooks did not seem to have many friends. He didn't recall Crooks being playing any sports, being involved in any clubs or student groups or going to popular campus events. He often wore hunting clothes, so Eckert assumed he hunted.
No one in Eckert's group text from high school seemed to know Crooks very well, he said. They were shocked that someone from their town had done this. They were even more surprised that it was Tom Crooks.
Nursing aide turned sniper: Thomas Crooks' mysterious plot to kill Trump
The gaming-oriented online site Discord said Sunday that it had found an account that appeared to be linked to the shooting suspect. The site removed the account, which “was rarely utilized, has not been used in months, and we have found no evidence that it was used to plan this incident, promote violence, or discuss his political views,“ according to a statement from a Discord spokesperson, adding that the company will coordinate closely with law enforcement.
Crooks was a member of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, a shooting club about 8 miles from his home. It is a sprawling complex of 180 acres with rifle, pistol and archery ranges, an area for dog training and a clubhouse, according to the club website.An attorney for the club, Robert Bootay III, confirmed Crooks' membership in an email to USA TODAY, but would not offer additional details.
Where is Bethel Park, Pennsylvania?
Bethel Park is a suburb of Pittsburgh and home to more than 32,000 people – about one thousand fewer than four years ago, according to the latest Census estimates.
The majority-white, mostly college-educated community has a median household income of $102,177.
Described as a charming retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city to its north, Bethel Park boasts tree-line streets, friendly neighborhoods and a low crime rate.
Bethel Park is about 42 miles south of Butler, where the Trump rally was held. The leafy suburban street was alive with law enforcement overnight amid a multi-agency response to the shooting. A member of the Allegheny County bomb squad told reporters his team was headed into the house around midnight, but did not say why.
For hours afterward, the scene remained quiet, with deer passing under the police tape and an occasional neighbor stepping out of their house to see what was happening.
John Wolf, a local construction superintendent who lives down the road, said he’d talked with several worried neighbors.
“People are scared,” Wolf said.
How did Crooks shoot at Trump?
Crooks had been positioned on a rooftop more than 100 yards from the rally site, Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said. Law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle from the scene.
Joseph Price, special agent in charge of the ATF in Pittsburgh, said the weapon used by the shooter was a rifle.“It was nothing special,” he said in an interview in the parking lot of the Butler Township Municipal Building.
Law enforcement is following up on a “number of suspicious occurrences,” said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police, including accounts from witnesses who said they tried to flag police about the activity of a person outside the rally moments before the shooting.
The FBI said in a news release that the situation “remains an active and ongoing investigation, and anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is encouraged to submit photos or videos online at FBI.gov/butler or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.”
