We take the weekend to highlight recent books coverage in The Times:

A tour of the Book Review

Readers were dazzled by Téa Obreht’s 2011 debut novel, “The Tiger’s Wife,” a 20th-century Balkan tale that introduced a promising new voice in contemporary fiction. Now, years later, she has a new story: a Western set in the Arizona Territory of 1893. “Inland” is reviewed this week on our cover by Chanelle Benz.

Don’t miss our review of Madeline ffitch’s first novel, “Stay and Fight,” and Jia Tolentino’s first essay collection, “Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion.” Tolentino is also a guest on this week’s podcast, and here’s her recent By the Book.

The critics

Dwight Garner raves about Sarah M. Broom’s debut, “The Yellow House,” which is about her childhood home in New Orleans, its fate after Hurricane Katrina and the politics and history of the city. “This is a major book that I suspect will come to be considered among the essential memoirs of this vexing decade,” Garner writes.

Jennifer Szalai writes about “Kochland,” a “corporate history, lucidly told” about how the enormous energy conglomerate Koch Industries has inserted itself into nearly every aspect of daily life, raking in billions along the way.
