She discusses the sociopolitical forces that dened fashion and tracks the inuence of music and streetwear on the most exclusive (and exclusionary) luxury brands.

Putnam’s Sons) $29.00Once upon a time, if you wanted to know if a movie was worth seeing, you didn’t check out Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB. You asked whether Siskel & Ebert had given it “two thumbs up.” In Opposable Thumbs, award-winning editor and lm critic Matt Singer eavesdrops on their iconic balcony set, detailing their rise from making a few hundred dollars a week on local Chicago PBS to securing multimillion-dollar contracts for a syndicated series (a move that convinced a young local host named Oprah Winfrey to do the same). Their partnership was cut short when Gene Siskel passed away in February of 1999 after a battle with brain cancer that he’d kept secret from everyone outside his immediate family--including Roger Ebert, who never got to say goodbye to his longtime partner. But their inuence on the way we talk about (and think about) movies continues to this day.Here’s Little RichardJordan Bassett(Bloomsbury Academic)$14.95Why Beethoven: A Phenomenon in One Hundred PiecesNorman Lebrecht(Pegasus Books)$29.95Faith, Hope, and CarnageNick Cave; Seán O’HaganPicador$20.00

Denise connects Thornton’s vaudevillesque performances in Sammy Green’s Hot Harlem Revue to the vocal improvisations that made “Hound Dog” a hit for Peacock Records (and later for Elvis Presley), injecting music criticism into what’s often framed as a cautionary tale of record-industry racism. She interprets Thornton’s performing in men’s suits as both a sly, Little Richard–like queering of the Chitlin Circuit and a simple prefer-ence for pants over dresses that didn’t have a pocket for her harmonica. Most radical of all, she refers to her subject by her given name rather than “Big Mama,” a nickname bestowed upon her by a white man. It’s a deliberate and crucial act of reclamation, because in the name of Willie Mae Thornton is the sound of Black musical resilience.
