When Breath Becomes Air is the memoir of Paul Kalanithi, a neurosurgeon at Stanford who, at thirty-six and on the verge of completing a decade of surgical training, was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. Written as he was dying, and completed with an epilogue by his wife Lucy Kalanithi, the book is a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a New York Times bestseller that spent 68 weeks on that list, selling over two million copies and reaching readers in more than 40 languages. It is one of the most widely read meditations on mortality, meaning, and what constitutes a life well lived to emerge from American medicine in recent memory.

Kate Harris's debut travelogue Lands of Lost Borders is a richly layered account of a nearly yearlong bicycle journey along the ancient Silk Road, winner of the 2019 RBC Taylor Prize, and praised by travel writer Pico Iyer as "a modern classic." Published by Dey Street Books, it fuses adventure narrative, natural history, and meditation on borders — geographic, political, and personal — into a work that stands as one of the more ambitious debut memoirs of its era.

Assassin: A Dark Epic Fantasy Novel is the opening entry in Andy Peloquin's eleven-book Darkblade series, published by The Fantasy Fiends Publishing Inc. In July 2021, and it delivers exactly what its title promises — a relentless, action-driven descent into the grimdark end of the fantasy spectrum, centered on a legendary immortal killer known only as the Hunter of Voramis. Readers drawn to morally complex antiheroes, blood-soaked urban fantasy settings, and sprawling epic ambition will find a great deal to engage with here, though the book's considerable length and unrelenting darkness will naturally suit some tastes more than others.
