MUSIC/PODCASTS
The Practice of Love by Jenny Hval

BOOKS
She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey
In 2017, journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the story that Harvey Weinstein had been sexually harassing and abusing women for decades. In She Said, they share the process of breaking the story—and the movement it signaled. Out September 17.
Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson
Woodson’s books never disappoint. Red in the Bone, according to our reviewer, “is a beautifully written examination not just of the bonds of family, and also of how alone one can feel within it.” Out September 17, and find our review in the September/October print edition of BUST.
