“Vera Rubin: A Life”
Jacqueline Mitton and Sam Mitton
(Feb. 11)
I don’t really know what dark matter is,
and had always assumed it was a cool-
sounding concept fabricated for science
fi ction. Apparently, this Vera Rubin, a
pioneering Jewish scientist of the 20th
century, taught everyone quite a bit about
this very real phenomenon. Th is is the fi rst
biography to be written about Rubin, who
died in 2016.

“No One Is Talking About This”
Patricia Lockwood (Feb. 16)
Lockwood is one of the funniest, most
inventive writers we’ve got going for us in
this country, and you’d be missing out if
you didn’t give her new novel a shot. For
a Lockwood intro, check out her memoir,
“Priestdaddy,” or one of her many manic
essays for the London Review of Books.

“With her reputation as a vilde chaya (wild
animal), Fanny Keismann isn’t like the
other women in her shtetl in Russia’s Pale
of Settlement — certainly not her obedient
and anxiety-ridden sister, Mende, whose
‘philosopher’ of a husband, Zvi-Meir, has
run off to Minsk, abandoning her and
their two children.” What more do you
need than that? ❆
