Photos of the Week Series: June 22, 2018

Associate Photo Editor Kristen McNicholas has been responsible for looking at daily uploads so she has the first set of eyes on every image that the Your Shot community shares. She starts each day looking through thousands of photographs and this series will be a selection of her favorites from the past week. Each Friday she will be sharing her favorites here!

"I finish every week more inspired than the week before. I finish every week thinking about the different corners of Earth I was able to visit for a few fleeting moments. I get to visit the jungles of Uganda, the depths of the ocean, scale seawalls with climbers and hang out with sleepy big cats. As always, I'm incredibly thankful for this community sharing their worlds with me."

P&P Picks of the Week

Memoirs and mystery seem to be the genres we gravitated towards this week. Part biography, part memoir on becoming who you are, an intimate portrait of courage, an homage to the great mystery writers of the past, the dynamic mystery involving a plane crash, a mystic vision and political intrigue and a cookbook/comic book that tells a story of authors life are just a little spoilers we hope will get you interested in one of our picks.

Hiking with Nietzsche - John Kaag

Part biography of one of the most influential philosophers of 19th century, part memoir, Hiking with Nietzsche is an exploration, of Nietzsche’s work and life, his relationships, thoughts and his search for meaning. It is, also, the author’s self-exploration and a thorough insight into his own life, his marriage, fatherhood and himself. John Kaag followed in Nietzsche’s footsteps, like Mann, Adorno, Jung, Levi, Hesse and many other of his pilgrims did, on the hills of Sils – Maria in Switzerland, where he wrote Thus Spoke Zarathustra. And, he did it twice. First time as a nineteen-year-old young man, almost killing himself on the verge of anorexia and the second 18 years later visiting the same place with his wife and young daughter, retracing the same steps and paths but coming to different conclusions and contemplating different questions. Marija D.

Letters from Max - Sarah Ruhl, Max Ritvo

This collection of letters (and poems, songs, dreams, fears, and jokes) packs a tremendous emotional and intellectual punch. Ritvo’s cancer was gaining on him throughout the period he and Ruhl, the playwright, corresponded (during which he nonetheless graduated from Yale, earned an MFA at Columbia, got married, published a chapbook and a book), and this adds poignancy to the already moving account of a vital friendship. The depth of affection these two felt for each other lives and breathes in their writing and their passionate curiosity. Letters from Max is an intimate portrait of courage on both sides (it surely takes as much courage to lose a friend as it does to endure the relentless rounds of radiation and chemo Ritvo did), it’s also a spirited writing workshop and philosophical debate. Laurie G.

An Unwanted Guest - Shari Lapena

You know the formula: Put a bunch of couples in a beautiful country bed and breakfast, but then add a snowstorm, subtract the power, and kill someone. Yet Shari Lapena executes it flawlessly, building the tension steadily as we learn more about each of the guests, and the storm increases intensity. Is it someone already present at the inn? Or is there an intruder that no one knows about yet? Who is next? An homage to the great mystery writers of the past, An Unwanted Guest will keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat until the killer is finally revealed. Keith V.

Cook Korean - Robin Ha

They say you eat with your eyes. In that case, Robin Ha’s vibrant illustration style presents readers with a feast to savour in this comic book cookbook. Readers are guided along a delicious journey in Korean cuisine through a series of fluid (and often humorous) cartoon recipes narrated by Dengki, Ha’s hanbok-clad host character. Not merely a collection of practical recipes, Cook Korean also tells the story of Ha’s immigration to the U.S, and her reconnection to Korean culture through the process of learning and cooking family dishes with her mother. Jade L.

Desolation Mountain - William Kent Krueger

If you're looking for a good mystery for fall, look no further than Desolation Mountain. William Kent Krueger weaves a dynamic mystery involving a plane crash, a mystic vision and political intrigue, all against the beautiful backdrop of a northern Minnesota autumn. Krueger's portrait of an indigenous community combined with his almost reverent depiction of the forests and hills of Minnesota leave me feeling warm and nostalgic, while the energy of the story keeps me on the edge of my seat. This is a perfect book for a rainy fall day with a cup of warm apple cider in your hand. Aron
