What I'm reading about Gaza

Roundup 10/16/2023

Greetings from Read Max HQ, and welcome to our weekly roundup column, in which I pick out some worthwhile and often overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers.

I’m devoting this week’s round-up to a collection of of articles and essays I’ve been reading about Gaza. It felt too weird to tack on some light-hearted recommendations for cultural consumption in the midst of terrifying and tragic violence; movie and music recs will return eventually.

If that sounds interesting -- and if you want to support Read Max in its continuing mission of explaining the future to relatively normal people -- please subscribe below. Subscribers get access to these weekly emails and to the comprehensive Read Max Master Lists of Good Movies to Watch and Good Books to Read--as well as preferred pricing on merchandise like the Read Max “EMAIL SUPPLY” caps. If you’re already a subscriber, thank you.

Now, the roundup.
