Helen is a staff writer at The New Yorker. She has been covering food for more than a decade as a writer and editor, and won a 2024 James Beard Award for her weekly restaurant-review column, The Food Scene. She is an expert on sandwiches and many other important subjects. And I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Helen last month at Books Are Magic in Brooklyn (hi thank you so much for having us!!), at a live event to celebrate the paperback release of Fat Talk.

Welcome to Sunday Sundries, the antidote to—or at least a distraction from—your Sunday Scaries. Hi,Long time no chat! (I skipped last Sunday because it was my birthday and wrote about that instead.)Speaking of my birthday, it was lovely. I played pickleball in the morning and my friend Gail brought chocolate chip banana bread with a candle in it. Then I had dinner at Jeffrey’s Grocery in the West Village.

Hi book pals,Some of you don’t even know what you’re in for today. I’ve been in a reading slump the past few months—inching along with 1 or 2 books. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just not my usual. Even last month, when I declared myself out of my reading rut, I wasn’t quite up to my full ink drinking volume. But, now, I’m REALLY back! And I have 6 books to tell you about. Plus, all the new release preview and book-to-screen goodness you’ve come to expect. So, without further ado, let’s get into it.

Hello!I’m thrilled to begin rolling out our list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. I’m going to do it 20 a day, the same way the New York Times did. It’s going to be a whole week of fun, plus some extra analysis at the end. But before we get into it, some housekeeping…Wait, what is this? Two weeks ago, the New York Times shared a list of the “100 Best Books of the 21st Century” as voted by 503 writers, critics, and staff members.
