STAFF PICKS For Adults

MY BERLIN KITCHEN, by Luisa Weiss
This coming-of-age memoir includes recipes along the way. The Wednesday Chef food blogger tells the story of her search for where she belongs, shuttling between New York, Boston and Berlin.
— S. Sarmiento

BOTH FLESH AND NOT, by David Foster Wallace
A new book by David Foster Wallace is always cause for celebration, and this collection of essays (his third) is a wonderful addition. Wallace had a curious and brilliant mind, and should be considered one of our finest humorists.
— S. Mullin
