Alert to readers!

WIP has received a grant to print book reviews in 2021. How will it work?  Each month we’ll publish a list of books (see right column). If you’d like to be considered to review one of them, email us and put BOOK REVIEW in the subject line. We will buy the book (or reimburse you if you buy it) and pay $50 if the review is accepted. See the review of Caste on this page.

We will run issues monthly with a maximum length of 750 words. We currently have reviews scheduled through June, so there’s plenty of time to read a big book!

The Cigarette: A Political History —Sarah Milov (choice, agency, desire)

Union Made—Eric Lotke (novel about the romance of organizing to win)

Bring the War Home—Kathleen Belew (white power movement & militias)

Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul—Jesse McCarthy (essays)

Forever Prisoners—Elliott Young  (immigration)
