A few of my recent favorite reads:

The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk – a brilliant novel of magic realism, and, as Olga has said in interviews, a harsh critique of misogyny. Buy it here at Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-empusium-a-health-resort-horror-story-olga-tokarczuk/90d5d4940326823a?ean=9780593712955&next=t

Orlando by Virginia Woolf (The Penguin Deluxe Edition) – speaking of critiques of misogyny! This classic novel, in this edition, is enchanting and the commentary and footnotes are fascinating.
