Fly, Wild Swans: My Mother, Myself and China
by Jung Chang
Jung Chang’s epic family memoir, Wild Swans, defined a generation, chronicling the experiences of Jung, her mother, and her grandmother—“three daughters of China”—as China transformed from empire to Communist nation. Fly, Wild Swans continues the story of Jung’s family—and China—from the late 1970s until today. During that time, China rises from a decrepit and isolated state to world power challenging American dominance as Jung makes a new life in the West—one of the first Chinese to leave her homeland at the end of the Cultural Revolution. A love letter to her mother, and a tribute to her grandmother and father, Fly, Wild Swans reveals that for Jung, the past is never far away.

Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind
by Jason Zengerle
To many, Tucker Carlson is synonymous with modern conservative politics. Those who knew him in his earlier days remember a different man - a serious and gifted writer and commentator who enjoyed debating with liberal friends and calling out conservative failures in equal measure. Jason Zengerle reveals how Carlson's career offers a unique lens into the radical transformation of American conservatism and the media that covers and shapes it. As conservative news outlets fight over who can report the most disreputable stories, and clicks and views take precedence over facts and substance, Carlson's evolution tells the larger story of how the right has radicalized and taken the media with it.
