Nicholas Dames (@n_j_dames) reviews The Deserters, Mathias Énard’s latest novel. “Énard has made his name as the writer most devotedly skeptical of the fantasy of a Pax Europaea—most disappointed by the lie, because most beguiled by the possibility.” harpers.org/archive/2025/0…

Today’s the day the #NBCC winners are announced! We’re so excited to have TWO finalists in the Criticism category, The Chapter by @n_j_dames and Pleasure and Efficacy by @graceelavery: hubs.ly/Q02qgSLJ0 @bookcritics

The 136 books on our great-American-novels list represent the best of what books can do: challenge us, delight us, pull us in and then release us, a little smarter and a little more alive than we were before. See the full list. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
