The Covenant of Water is a novel by Abraham Verghese, the author of Cutting for Stone. It follows three generations of a family in Kerala, South India, who suffer from a peculiar affliction: at least one person dies by drowning. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. The novel is a hymn to progress in medicine and human understanding, and a testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today.

    Fifteen leading writers explore what Gilmore Girls means to them in this delightful celebration of a contemporary TV classic. 
     
     
     
    Fast-talking, warm-hearted, and endlessly rewatchable, Gilmore Girls has bonded real-life mothers and daughters since 2000, when its iconic pilot introduced us to Lorelai, Rory, and their idyllic Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. More than twenty years later, it has become one of the most-streamed TV shows, ever. 
     
     
     
    In an anthology as intimate and quick-witted as Gilmore Girls itself, bestselling author Ann Hood invites fifteen writers to investigate their personal relationships to the show. ("It's a show? It's a lifestyle. It's a religion.") Joanna Rakoff considers how Emily Gilmore helped her understand her own mother; Sanjena Sathian sees herself—and Asian American defiance—in Lane Kim; Freya North connects with her son through the show; Francesco Sedita discovers an antidote to pandemic loneliness; Nina de Gramont offers a comic ode to the unreality of Stars Hollow. For anyone who identifies as Team Logan, Team Jess, or even Team Dean, Life's Short, Talk Fast reveals what Gilmore Girls tells us about ourselves—and why it matters.

    “The unexamined life is not worth living.” What makes someone die for their beliefs? Four Texts on Socrates explores one of history’s most influential thinkers through three of Plato’s dialogues—Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito—and Aristophanes’ satirical play The Clouds. 
    Each work reveals a different side of Socrates. In Euthyphro, he questions the nature of piety and morality. Apology presents his bold defense at trial, where he declares his pursuit of truth worth any cost. In Crito, he refuses to escape prison, choosing to die rather than betray justice. Finally, The Clouds offers a comic, critical portrayal of Socrates as an eccentric sophist, reflecting Athenian tensions toward his radical ideas. 
    Together these texts paint a portrait of a man who challenged authority, questioned tradition, and inspired generations to examine their own lives. Socrates’ humility—“I know that I know nothing”—and his courage in facing death remain deeply relevant. 
    This collection invites readers into timeless philosophical questions: What is justice? How should we live? What is truth worth? Engaging and provocative, these works challenge us, as Socrates did, to think for ourselves.
