| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  James Lasdun's Afternoon of a Faun is one of four starred fiction titles this week. "This novel of ideas, which explores the highly charged emotional and sexual terrain of the #MeToo era, is as much about examining notions of objective truth and reality in a situation where there are no objective observers as it is about the events of the novel themselves.... Lasdun has crafted an even-handed, thoughtful, and thought-provoking portrait of this painful situation in all of its intellectual and emotional complexity." In nonfiction, Cita Stelzer's Working with Winston: The Unsung Women Behind Britain’s Greatest Statesman is "a sure bet for Churchill aficionados. Readers interested in the role of women’s work during World War II might also find much intriguing information here." Shades of Magic, Vol. 1, The Steel Prince, by V.E. Schwab with illustrations by Andrea Olimpieri and others, is this week's starred graphic novel. "Visually stunning, this exciting, swashbuckling adventure revisits the enthralling world of Schwab’s best-selling “Shades of Magic” fantasy series (A Darker Shade of Magic; A Gathering of Shadows; A Conjuring of Light), appealing to veteran fans of the trilogy while eliciting interest from new readers.... Highly recommended for teens and adults." And New Ink on Life, a debut e-original by Jennie Davids, is "recommended for libraries where lesbian romance or cancer survivor titles are popular."
