From the acclaimed and Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic Michiko Kakutani comes an inspiring and exquisitely illustrated collection of life-changing books that we all must read. 'Why do we love books so much?' For legendary literary critic Michiko Kakutani, books have always been a refuge and a sanctuary, with characters in some novels feeling so real to her childhood self that she worried they might leap out of the pages at night if she left the book cover open. In Ex Libris, she offers a personal selection of over 100 works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, accompanied by passionate essays on why each has had a profound effect on her life. From Homer's The Odyssey to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s The Writings and Speeches and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaids Tale to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels, Ex Libris spans a rich and diverse range of classics, both old and new, that will help build a well-rounded reader and global citizen. With gorgeous illustrations by lettering artist Dana Tanamachi that evoke vintage bookplates leafed between Kakutanis inspiring essays, Ex Libris guides us to our next great read and serves as an unforgettable reminder of why we fell in love with reading in the first place.
