Midterm election news will be big this fall.

But fiction is expected to sell more books.

Political books have lost power.

Sales of nonfiction books have gone down in recent years.

Analyst Kristen McLean says political books seem quiet.

People are "ranted out," she says.

Shannon DeVito from Barnes & Noble says the news changes too fast.

So specific political books cannot become popular.

Former President Joe Biden's memoir "Promise Me, America" is a rare big political book.

Michael Lewis's "Blockers" may do as well as a recent summer bestseller.

Other political books look back at the Biden years.

Brett McGurk wrote "Brink."

Akbar Shahid Ahmed wrote "Crossing the Red Line."

Bob Woodward's new book "Secrets" is about his own career.

It is not about today's politics.

Novelists Barbara Kingsolver and Hernan Diaz won the Pulitzer together three years ago.

Both have new novels now.

Kingsolver's "Partita" comes after her Pulitzer-winning "Demon Copperhead."

Diaz's "Ply" is a story about a dark future.

Diaz says literature is not a race.

More good books make the talk better.

Fiction sales stay strong.

New books by romantasy writers Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J. Maas help.

This season also has memoirs from Sylvester Stallone, Michael Douglas, and Dustin Hoffman.

Gloria Steinem and Colin Kaepernick write about their lives and their work for change.

Christopher Nolan's film "Odyssey" has made old poetry sell more.

Emily Wilson has new essays out.

Other books include Joy Harjo's "Cloud Runner" about her daughter's death.

Some books look at how democracy fell in Germany in the 1930s.
