In fiction, Jinwoo Chong’s novel “Flux” features a company that discovers a way to warp time, with complicated results for its main characters. This week, two of our recommended books offer their own takes on that thorny question. “Sorry I’m late,” these emails read, “but really: What is time?” “What is time, anyway?” That question, tossed off with worldly insouciance, enjoyed a brief popularity in my inbox during the darkest, borderless days of the early pandemic, as predictable routines vanished and more writers than usual missed their deadlines. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It really felt like the perfect moment to tee it up."

That it is not always attributed to its original creator is testimony to its pervasive acceptance and adoption.

In Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Doris Kearns Goodwin explores the extraordinary array of personal qualities that allowed Lincoln first to appoint, then to win over, men who had previously opposed him, and reveals how Lincoln's bold and brilliant actions helped him steer the country through its darkest days. Perhaps equally surprising was what Lincoln did after being elected President: He appointed all three rivals to his cabinet-Seward as secretary of state, Chase as secretary of the treasury, and Bates as attorney general.
