I was a bit wary, but this graphic novel, detailing the author's two months working in a North Korean animation studio, is pretty great. Not the most informative book on the subject, but a good account of how strange it is to visit.

Censoring an Iranian Love Story | Shahriar Mandanipour

An often bizarre and fascinating look at censorship in Iran, this book is both an attempted romance novel, and the story of the author who's desperately trying to not get in trouble for writing it.

The Ballad of Black Tom | Victor LaValle

The perfect book for anyone (like me) who loves Lovecraftian mythos but not Lovecraft's actual...writing.

An incredible look at the issues of Chicago's public housing, which focuses on two young brothers growing up on the city's West Side. Moving, powerful, and humanizing, this book is an important portrait of people who are so often ignored.

Fall means sweaters, tea, rain, and lots of foreign mystery books.
