  "summary": "In 1897, Henry James' novel What Maisie Knew was published as a book after originally being serialized. Meanwhile, Janet Manley interviews 2026 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award Winner Jon Klassen, reflecting on the importance of childhood and the validity of real days in a child's life. In other pieces, Lit Hub discusses how romance novels can fill gaps left by formal sex education, Isabel Allende's transformation of a letter into The House of the Spirits, and the recognition of evil in literature. The week's best reviewed books include Emily St. John Mandel's Exit Party, Ben Macintyre's Redwood, Kate Atkinson's Our Noble Selves, and Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor's End Times Fascism.",
