Dear readers, It’s been a pleasure to peruse the comments section on our summer reading bucket list and get a sense of what everyone is excited to read. (People revisiting Homer in preparation for the film adaptation of the “Odyssey” coming next month! Fans of Abdulrazak Gurnah!) I’m professionally bound to pay attention to any possible “it book” this season, but truthfully, I like when summer reading tastes veer off in unexpected directions. To that end, here are a selection of eclectic, but excellent, recent books that might catch your fancy. We hope you’ve enjoyed this newsletter, which is made possible through subscriber support.
