The new nonfiction canon: Nonfiction has traditionally gotten short shrift from the literary establishment. Editor Dan Kois and critic Laura Miller set about correcting that with a new list of the 50 best nonfiction books from the past 25 years. From memoir to reportage to narrative nonfiction to cultural criticism to David Foster Wallace, there’s something for everyone on the list of truly remarkable—and literary—works.

Lorelei Laird explains why advocates are so worried. Will the conservative justices prove their commitment to free speech or let ideology get in the way?

For fun: President Donald Trump must immediately pardon Gen. Francis X. Hummel.

A unique chance here to right a great historical wrong,
