I tend to trust books like Indignity when they sound built for browsers who want trustable bookstore taste rather than for everyone in the abstract.
In n02 biographies & memoirs, I keep looking for books that understand the book’s most recommendable trait and do not settle for bland competence.
If the execution matches the setup, this becomes the kind of recommendation I would pass along quickly and mean it. Farrar, Straus and Giroux has it listed for 04-Nov-2025.
If you want another steady stream of book coverage, City Book Review is still worth a browse.
