Library of America’s work combines excavation, restoration, and celebration, and true to form our editors have scoured bookshelves and combed the archives to bring you a landmark Fall 2024 lineup. From recovering the uncensored version of a Hemingway classic to assembling an unprecedented poetry anthology spanning five centuries of Latino verse, these ten new releases (plus two stunning new boxed sets) aren’t just major contributions to our nation’s literary legacy—they’re also emotionally arresting, politically provocative, riveting on the page, and in one specific case, absolutely and completely MAD.

All of these are great additions. I would add, however, that I believe that Hannah Arendt deserves two or more volumes of her own in the main series. Although she was born (1906), raised, and educated in Germany, she moved to the US permanently in 1941 and became a citizen in 1950, and all of her major works were written after 1950 in America. An LOA edition should include, at the very least, "The Origins of Totalitarianism" (1951), "The Human Condition" (1958), and "The Life of the Mind" (1978), as well as the major collections of essays, "Between Past and Future," "Men in Dark Times," and "Crises of the Republic." The last of these collections contains the three essays that LOA has published in "On Lying and Politics" and in the forthcoming "On Civil Disobedience." Other works that could be included are "Eichmann in Jerusalem" and "On Revolution." There are numerous other uncollected (by her, though some appear in posthumous collections) essays, addresses, reviews, and letters that could well be included in an LOA edition.
