Read: “Family Lexicon.” First published in 1963, Natalia Ginzburg’s “Family Lexicon” is a first-person, non-fiction, autobiographical novel that captures the idiosyncrasies, pre-occupations, whimsies, and anxieties of her Jewish Italian family and their friends, set mainly in and around Turin before, during, and after the Second World War. Its matter-of-fact tone and sudden shifts from the personal to the oddly comic leave the reader to imagine the depths of its characters’ underlying emotional lives. — Willis
Watch: “The Two Escobars.” Andrés was a star on Colombia’s (exceptionally good) 1994 World Cup Team. Pablo was the world’s most notorious drug lord.

This exceptional ESPN 30 for 30 documentary shows how the rise of Colombia’s drug cartels was directly tied — for better and worse — to the country’s emergence as a formidable soccer power in the mid- 1990s. — Alex
