Alexander Chee is an award-winning author of two novels. The Queen of the Night is set in Paris during the Second Empire and follows the rise of heroine Lilliet Berne from courtesan to diva. Called “spellbinding” by BuzzFeed and “brilliant” by the Washington Post, The Queen of the Night is a blazing portrait of a woman who creates her own fate. Edinburgh, newly reissued in paperback, is a coming-of-age novel that is “incomparable . . . because of its bravery, its wisdom, its vitality, and because it’s a novel that never stops haunting.” (Junot Díaz)
Ten lucky Riot readers will each receive a copy of The Queen of the Night and Edinburgh by Alexander Chee.

POTUS’s Essential Reads
President Obama is serving as a visiting editor of Wired magazine in November, but prelude to that, he has given them a list of 10 books everyone should read. It’s a mix of a couple of more recent titles and some all-timers, which is a bit Obama in a nutshell–a little pop-culture, a little old-time politics.
Bob Dylan Isn’t There
Here it is a couple of weeks after Bob Dylan won the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature, and Dylan still hasn’t said…anything. No acknowledgment of any kind. And the Nobel committee isn’t happy. At this point, it’s not clear that Dylan will show up for the ceremony, take the money, or have anything to do with the most prestigious artistic award in the world. If I were a betting man, I would not put a thin dime on Dylan doing anything more than what he has already done.
Claudia Rankine To Open Racial Imaginary Institute
Fresh off her Macarthur “genius award,” Claudia Rankine is planning to start a institution that will be a “space which allows us to show art, to curate dialogues, have readings, and talk about the ways in which the structure of white supremacy in American society influences our culture.”
It isn’t clear yet what form it will take, but it will be located in lower Manhattan. Also, whiteness will be an explicit topic, which isn’t (or perhaps even often) a focus of projects that center on race. Culture, Rankine, thinks is at the leading edge of how people talk and think about race, so policy isn’t currently part of the plan.
