Suggested reading from critics and editors at The New York Times.

A tale of pollen and prejudice, and more. (Achoo!)

In a memoir that tries to wrest control of her story, Ms. Baldwin says she was “canceled” via online sleuths who looked for inconsistencies in her Spanish accent.

In an unusual but not unprecedented move, the prize board chose a fourth option after it couldn’t agree on the three less-heralded finalists.

A gentle and clever comic novel; a poetic and tender essay on addiction.

The poet and novelist on the real reason he became a writer.

Novels by Stephen King and Ocean Vuong, Ron Chernow’s latest blockbuster biography, a new graphic novel by Alison Bechdel and more.

A spare elegy; a weird journey.
