Hope I'll find more good ones this year. Thanks for the thread, hermetic!!

Sept. 14, 2016- Adding Nathan Hill's sprawling work, The Nix. It's a great trip down memory lane for anyone who was alive in 1968--the year Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated and of the violent confrontations between police and (mostly)student protesters during the Democratic National Convention.
