Watch Now: Imbolo Mbue and Patricia Lockwood in Conversation

Today, we’re excited to announce a new partnership with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants—a curated book club and lending program for travelers. Each travel season, our editorial team will hand-pick recommended books and share ways to join in on the discussions on social media and through virtual events. For those staying at 28 participating Kimpton hotels across the U.S. and Canada, you can also borrow our book selections from the front desk at no cost through Kimpton Hotels’ book lending program.

We kick off the partnership with our spring reading list theme, Women Write Now. Timed to Women’s History Month in March, we’ve selected three titles that confront topics like race and freedom, family obligations and crises, expectations for women, and the highs and lows of internet culture. The first collection of our curated book recommendations includes Imbolo Imbue’s How Beautiful We Were, Anna Wiener’s Uncanny Valley, and Patricia Lockwood’s No One Is Talking About This. To celebrate the launch, watch a live interview with Imbolo Mbue and Patricia Lockwood in conversation with managing editor Emily Temple.
