Please give Chef White my compliments. Few people can successfully run back an anthology series—hell, any great season of television—much less make it better than what came before. In Season Two, The White Lotus showrunner turned his original eat-the-rich-while-they're-on-vacation formula into something far more atmospheric, layered, and genuinely funny. Jetting to Sicily this time around, White slowed down the pace of the series to the sludge of lava working its way down the side of Mt. Etna. You had the distinct feeling that you were about to melt to death, but there was plenty time to toss back a few drinks. The season finale, which hit HBO this Sunday night, finally brought us home.

Michael Imperioli leans across the booth at Cafe Fiorello on the Upper West Side, his thick eyebrow raised, the pupils in his hazel eyes narrowed. "I'm very good at keeping secrets," he says with a conspiratorial smile. We are two weeks out from the finale of The White Lotus and Imperioli will absolutely not budge, no matter how I try to coax him, into giving me a clue about who ends up dead in the final episode. "I don't get why people want to know—why they want to have you spoil the whole thing," he says with a shrug. So instead, Imperioli and I spoke again on the phone late last night, moments after his character Dominic Di Grasso boards the plane back to the states with his father (F. Murray Abraham) and son, Albie (Adam DiMarco), surviving the deadly checkout day. "It's a ridiculously happy ending," Imperioli tells me with a laugh on our call. |

It seems a cruel paradox that in this age of information overload, the world can feel harder to understand than ever before. Amid a dissonance of news sources, podcasts, commentators, and armchair experts, where should you turn to make sense of the world? More than movies, TV, or just other reading material, we stand behind nonfiction books as some of the best windows on the world, and luckily for you, we've curated some of the year's standout releases. |
