In 2015, hearing Trump, as a candidate for president, echo Castro’s talking points, Rodriguez felt the need to sound the alarm. He published drawings online and shared them on social media, hoping that magazines or newspapers would pick them up. “Edel is one of the very few artists who brilliantly manage to simplify complicated matters while never drifting into clichés,” Brinkbäumer said. When Rodriguez sent Der Spiegel a draft of a cover featuring Trump as a meteorite headed toward Earth shortly after his victory in 2016, Brinkbäumer published it unchanged. Life, politics and procrastination, Rodriguez said, slowed the inside of the book from taking shape.

☆ In These Four Story Collections, Feminist Horror Abounds

“She was horrified by the traces of monstrosity in everyday life,” Agustina Bazterrica writes of a character in her new collection, NINETEEN CLAWS AND A BLACKBIRD: Stories (Scribner, 154 pp., paperback, $17.99), and it could be read as a unifying principle for all 20 stories. Moses’ translation from the Spanish captures the playful gruesomeness of the Argentine writer’s prose. Misogyny and its knock-on effects are an animating force throughout. In “Unamuno’s Boxes,” a woman suspects her cabdriver is a serial killer, tipped off by his perfectly manicured nails. Bazterrica takes big swings throughout, and while not every punch lands, these stories are fresh and unnerving.

Fires are burning across the breadth of Canada, blanketing parts of the eastern United States with choking, orange-gray smoke. So much wildfire smoke pushed through the border that in Buffalo, schools canceled outdoor activities. The average global temperatures today are more than 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than in the preindustrial era. The trees and grasses of eastern Canada turned to tinder. “We should expect a stunning year of global extremes,” he wrote.
