This New York Times Notable Book from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad is a brisk, comic tour de force about identity, history, and the adhesive bandage industry.

The town of Winthrop has decided it needs a new name. The resident software millionaire wants to call it New Prospera; the mayor wants to return to the original choice of the founding black settlers; and the town's aristocracy sees no reason to change the name at all. What they need, they realize, is a nomenclature consultant. And, it turns out, the consultant needs them. But in a culture overwhelmed by marketing, the name is everything and our hero's efforts may result in not just a new name for the town but a new and subtler truth about it as well.

I had had it with cheaply functioning wine bottle openers!
Color: Silver, Number of Items: 1
I like a manually functioning wine bottle opener. This one is smooth and easy to use and I didn't feel like I would cut my finger when removing the cork from the opener. Would definitely recommend!

Not total garbage, but not high quality either. Looks, feels, and performs like a cheap wine opener.

A Surprisingly Premium, No-Nonsense Corkscrew That Just Works
Color: Silver, Number of Items: 1
I’ve gone through more corkscrews than I care to admit. Some cute, some clever, some that looked great on the countertop but absolutely fell apart the second they met a stubborn cork. This opener immediately impressed me with how solid and dependable it feels. The zinc alloy gives it a weight and sturdiness that you notice the moment you pick it up, and it has that “built to last” vibe you don’t usually get at this price point. What I love most is that there’s no learning curve, no gimmicks, and no unnecessary parts that will eventually loosen or snap. It’s the kind of tool that feels familiar but elevated. The turning mechanism is smooth, controlled, and surprisingly effortless, even on older bottles where the cork can be unpredictable. The wings rise evenly, don’t wobble, and give you a ton of leverage, so removing the cork feels almost too easy. It also doubles as a great bottle opener, and I appreciate that it actually feels like a bottle opener you can trust rather than a flimsy add-on tucked in as an afterthought. If you want something flashy for your bar cart, this may not be the centerpiece. But if you’re looking for a reliable, heavy-duty corkscrew that quietly outperforms the pretty ones, this is it. An incredibly solid value and easily one of the most dependable openers I’ve owned.

Classic design and good sturdy quality
Color: Silver, Number of Items: 2
Let's just address the elephant in the room. My family says I am cheap, but I call it thrifty. Either way, I bought a couple of cork screws earlier that left like they would break at any moment when pushing down the arms, and after a few bottles, one arm did bend. So this time, i paid attention to the reviews and chose these cork screws as the review said they are solid quality. The review was correct. This design is pretty fool proof and easy for anyone to use. You do not need super human strength to pull the cork. Just remove the foil, screw the sharp coil into the cork until the arms have reached the top of their range, the place the bottle on a hard surface and push both arms down. Easy peasy. The bad openers I mentioned earlier did not have anything on the opener arms and the metal was thin. It did not provide a good feel. These cork screws have thicker arms and have a rubber grip on them which provides a much more comfortable operation. I would definitely recommend these cork screws for quality and value.
