Art Dirt: Talking About Glasstire's Favorite Books of 2025

William Sarradet and Nicholas Frank discuss some of their favorite books they read in 2025, including literature on American history, craft, films, and more. "I had been reading a lot of postcolonial nonfiction and got a bit bogged down in that, emotionally... so I thought I should read some fiction, but most of what I found ended up being the kind of heavyweight postcolonial content I had been trying to turn away from. I think it's good for us in this moment to really think about our history and how culture processes the present moment with a historical lens."
