Emily Dickinson's Known World.

The article focuses on recent literary and cultural works, including William Gibson's evolving science fiction novels and new editions of Emily Dickinson's letters, alongside a review of the Netflix adaptation of Tom Wolfe's novel *A Man in Full*. It highlights Gibson's blend of noir cynicism and liberal hope in novels like *The Peripheral* (2014) and *Agency* (2020), noting his portrayal of dystopian futures and complex characters. The new edition of *The Letters of Emily Dickinson*, edited by Cristanne Miller and Domhnall Mitchell, revises earlier collections by restoring omitted content and situating Dickinson within her historical and intellectual context, revealing her nuanced views on religion and science alongside parallels with Charles Darwin's era and ideas. The review of *A Man in Full* discusses Wolfe's satirical depiction of 1980s New York and Atlanta, emphasizing the adaptation's changes—such as casting a Black actor as Conrad—and its exploration of Stoicism amid social challenges.
