This week's notable book releases offer a rich tapestry of themes and styles, showcasing works that span across genres and cultural references. From Dan Nadel's biography on Robert Crumb, an influential figure in underground comics, to Mina Ikemoto Ghosh's debut novel that brilliantly melds mythology with elaborate illustrations, the selections promise to capture a variety of readers' interests. Adam Rovner's account of Nathaniel Isaacs, a 19th-century British-Jewish merchant, adds another intriguing layer to this eclectic mix. While these books differ, they all share a commitment to thought-provoking storytelling and artistry.
Nadel, a comics historian and museum curator, lovingly crafts a biography of a life that was often just as complex and eccentric as the influential art it spawned.
Ghosh's sumptuously illustrated young-adult debut introduces readers to a world where gods live among ordinary mortals and crafting bespoke hells can be a legitimate family enterprise.
