Fall is in the air, which means it's time for a change—at least according to the author's in this month's crop of new releases. October's new books bring genre-shifts from best-selling authors, Pulitzer Prize-winners experimenting with form, and a treasure trove of unexpected material for every kind of reader.
The River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks
The final book by acclaimed neurologist and author Oliver Sacks, The River of Consciousness is a bittersweet goodbye to the thoughtful, thought-provoking writer who passed away in 2015. Suffused with Sacks’ trademark cleverness and care, this collection of essays, like many of his previous works, delves into questions about experience and how our minds’ perceptions of the world shape our interactions with it.
