Who is Government? : The Untold Story of Public Service
by Michael Lewis
"The government is a vast, complex system that Americans pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It's also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it's made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favorite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them in a special in-depth series for the Washington Post. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. They show how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters"

Dante's Inferno : A Graphic Novel Adaptation
by Dante Alighieri
Literary aficionados will appreciate this decadent graphic novel adaptation of Dante's Inferno, which does not seek to sand down the source material. Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi make this famously dense literary classic accessible without distorting it and betraying the spirit of the Italian genius. They deftly translate it into comics while taking care to preserve the heart of the story: a taste for excess, dramatic tension, and the inevitable darkness of the subject matter.
