Leni Zumas
Leni Zumas writes wonderful, dark fiction, and her latest, Red Clocks, imagines a Mike Pence-approved future where abortion is illegal and women have fewer civil liberties than embryos (doesnā€™t sound ā€œimaginedā€ at all, actually). Itā€™s somehow also supposed to be funny and good. How will Zumas pull off such a delicate balance? I have no idea, but I canā€™t wait to find out. MEGAN BURBANK

Coco Columbia, LiquidLight, Childspeak
It might seem like power pop and prog rock are diametrically opposedā€”the former genre values tightly constructed, sub-three-minute gems, while the latter is defined by sweeping, neoclassical epics and Tolkien allusionsā€”Portlandā€™s Liquidlight are one of the only modern bands I can think of that embraces this forbidden union, and their new album Wicked Radio is like if someone put the contents of my iPod Shuffle from high school into a blender.

The Post
Weā€™ve seen a lot of iterations of Steven Spielberg, from Sci-Fi Spielberg (Minority Report, War of the Worlds) to Prestige Spielberg (Schindlerā€™s List, Lincoln) to Middlebrow Schmaltz Spielberg (The Terminal, War Horse). The Post reveals yet another Spielberg: Message Spielberg. The Post is Spielbergā€™s clear and passionate ode to the adversarial press, and not only is it a refreshing departure from his past work, it also turns out to be a good fit for his slick storytelling style.
