WWNcat_S18_final.indd 3 9/27/17 5:51 PM Tyrant
Stephen Greenblatt
s an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, a A talented playwright probed the social and psycho- logical roots and the twisted consequences of tyranny. In making pointed use of historical figures from Henry VI to Richard III and painting his unforgettable portraits of failing leaders— a mad Lear, a treacherous Macbeth, a vengeful Coriolanus— William Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the darkest aspects of its execution. Cherished institutions seem fragile, political classes are in disarray, economic misery fuels populist anger, people knowingly accept being lied to, partisan rancor dominates, spectacular indecency rules— these aspects of the human condition fascinated Shakespeare and shaped some of his most memorable plays. With uncanny insight, he shone a spotlight on the infantile psychology and unquench- able narcissistic appetites of demagogues and imagined how they might be stopped. By violence, with even-more- destructive outcomes? Or through the patient work of grubby politics? On all of these subjects, Shakespeare’s work speaks to us today.
Stephen Greenblatt is John Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. He is the Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning author of The Swerve, Will in the World, and The Rise and Fall of Adam

WWNcat_S18_final.indd 27 9/27/17 5:51 PM The Fall of Wisconsin The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics
Dan Kaufman
or more than a century, Wisconsin has been hailed as F“laboratory for democracy”: a bastion of progressive ideas and government, cradle of the labor and environ- mental movements, and birthplace of the famed Wiscon- sin Idea, which championed expertise in the service of the public good. But following a Republican sweep of its state government in 2010, Wisconsin’s state laws protecting vot- ing rights, public health, the environment, and education were dismantled— and, in perhaps the biggest shock of the 2016 presidential election, the state went for Donald J. Trump. The Fall of Wisconsin is a deeply reported, rivet- ing account of how it happened. Dan Kaufman, who has been reporting the story for years, reveals the “divide-and- conquer” strategy that Governor Scott Walker, Reince Prie- bus, and their allies designed for Wisconsin, which has become a blueprint nationwide. And he chronicles the remarkable efforts of citizens who continue to fight back, from local Democratic politicians exposing the role of dark money in the state, to the head of a Chippewa tribe bat- tling an out-of- state mining company, to the ironworker whose challenge to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is galvanizing national resistance to Trump.

Nevertheless, Beethoven avidly followed the meteoric rise of Napoleon and his republican reforms.

He broke with traditional musical forms, especially in the Eroica symphony, which he wrote as an enthusiastic response to the French Revolution and Napoleon’s achievements. Through Beethoven’s letters, portraits, and other personal papers, and by setting him alongside the major artists of the time—Schiller, Goethe, Goya, and Byron—John Clubbe illuminates Beethoven’s role as a lifelong revolutionary.

This landmark collection, brimming with his signature wit and incomparable sensibility, is Larry McMurtry’s classic tribute to his home and his people.
efore embarking on what would become one of the most prominent writing careers in American liter- ature, spanning decades and indelibly shaping the nation’s perception of the West, Larry McMurtry Bknew what it meant to come from Texas. Originally published in 1968, In a Narrow Grave is the Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s homage to the past and present of the Lone Star State, where he grew up a precociously observant hand on his father’s ranch. From literature to rodeos, small-town folk to big city intellectuals, McMurtry explores all the singular elements that de ne his land and community, revealing the surprising and particular challenges in the “dying . . . rural, pastoral way of life.” “The gold standard for understanding Houston’s brash rootlessness and civic insecurities” (Douglas Brinkley, New York Times Book Review), In a Narrow Grave offers a timeless portrait of the vividly human, complex, full-blooded Texan.

LARRY McMURTRY
A young writer hits the dusty Texas highway for the California coast in this “brilliant . . . funny and dangerously tender” (Time) tale of art and sacri ce.
ailed as one of “the best novels ever set in America’s fourth largest city” (Douglas Brinkley, New York Times Book Review), All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is a powerful demonstration of Larry HMcMurtry’s “comic genius, his ability to render a sense of landscape, and interior intellection tension” (Jim Harrison, New York Times Book Review). Desperate to break from the “mundane happiness” of Houston, budding writer Danny Deck hops in his car, “El Chevy,” bound for the West Coast on a road trip lled with broken hearts and bleak realities of the artistic life. A cast of unforgettable characters joins the naïve troubadour’s pilgrimage to California and back to Texas, including a cruel, long-legged beauty; an appealing screenwriter; a randy college pro- fessor; and a genuine if painfully “normal” friend. Since the novel’s publication in 1972, Danny Deck has “been far more successful at getting loved by readers than he ever was at getting loved by the women in his life” (McMurtry), a testament to the author’s incomparable talent for capturing the essential tragicomedy of the human experience.
