Sigrid Nørgaard grew up surrounded by her father's library in Aarhus, where Danish crime novels shared shelf space with French existentialism and dog-eared Penguin Classics. She studied comparative literature in Copenhagen before a research fellowship on Golden Age Spanish poetry brought her to Madrid, where she never quite left. For over a decade she has written literary criticism for publications on both sides of the Atlantic, with a particular fondness for translated fiction and the quiet violence of Scandinavian prose.
The Rumpus has relaunched its book club, with monthly sessions hosted by Debbie Millman beginning June 30 with Ann Patchett. A reflection on what literary community still means.
<a href="https://ebooksdepository.com/en/authors/ghosh-amitav-ghosh-amitav">Amitav Ghosh</a>'s <em>Ghost-Eye</em> is published today. So are new books by Joyce Carol Oates and Isabel Waidner. Sigrid Nørgaard on a June Tuesday that asks something of its readers.
Kevin Young won the 2026 Griffin Poetry Prize for Night Watch — a collection the judges called his most experimental yet, Blues-tinged and Dante-structured, examining grief and racial legacies in deeply American language.

Francesca Wade's Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife has won the 2026 Plutarch Award, the only prize for biography judged exclusively by biographers. A moment to consider what biography does — and what it cannot.
Deborah Levy's My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein is memoir, criticism, and something that resists both labels. It tracks a year in Paris alongside a writer who was central to modernism and systematically underread. Levy pays close attention — which, in the end, is the point.
Siri Hustvedt's new book 'Ghost Stories' is described by El Cultural's Alberto Gordo as a 'deep and moving work' where she merges with Paul Auster's ghost. Two years after his death, the question the book poses is both literary and unbearable: what does a writer do with the story they cannot tell?
Danika Ellis's Book Riot piece documents five years of coordinated pressure on queer publishing reaching a critical threshold. The books are still here. The question is how long the people around them can sustain the weight.
As ‘Is a River Alive?’ arrives in paperback this June, it feels like the right question for the wrong moment — or perhaps the right moment for the only question that matters.
Print sales of Bibles and devotionals nearly doubled from 2019 to 2025. The religious publishing boom is less about faith than about anxiety — and what it reveals about what secular literature is failing to provide.
