The 21st-Century Canon: What Are The Most Influential Books Of The Last 20 Years?
“We invited scholars from across the academy to tell us what they saw as the most influential book published in the past 20 years.

“In a legal filing, Barnes & Noble hit back at Demos Parneros, claiming the recently fired CEO actively sabotaged a potential sale of the company earlier this year, bullied fellow executives, and sexually harassed multiple women at the company. And raising the legal stakes, lawyers for B&N have filed a counterclaim [to Parneros’s lawsuit], asking the court to order Parneros to pay damages for his alleged breach of fiduciary duties, and seeking to potentially claw back more than $1 million paid to Parneros ‘during the period of his disloyal conduct.'”
