| shikha | Re: 5 books to read this summer As you Asking for the Names of the Some Good Books that I may Read In this Summer Are given below 'Rich People Problems' by Kevin Kwan Kevin cements himself as the "rich people problems" scribe with the story of the Shang-Young family, headed towards its ailing matriarch's bedside-and her estate hangs beckoningly in the balance The Ministry of Utmost Happiness' by Arundhati Roy It's been two decades since the author of The God of Small Things published a novel, although Arundhati Roy has written several non-fiction books since then. Epic in scale 'Perennials' by Mandy Berman Mandy Berman's debut adds to the "friendship novel" frenzy with a nostalgic summer-camp tale. After years of being summer BFFs, Rachel Rivkin and Fiona Larkin reunite at Camp Marigold as counselors. 'The Answers' by Catherine Lacey The world exacts a particular price from women, simply for existing. Exhibit A: this novel's protagonist, Mary, who lives with a chronic, painful condition. 'Do Not Become Alarmed' by Maile Meloy If you thought school parking-lot recriminations and judgments were brutal, think again: In this dark thriller, two couples venture ashore from a cruise ship, only to get lost-and also lose track of their children 'We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria' by Wendy Pearlman A politics professor at Northwestern, Wendy Pearlman interviewed hundreds of displaced Syrians in the aftermath of the massive upheaval that followed the Arab Spring. 'Surpassing Certainty' by Janet Mock Writer and TV host Janet Mock described the process of writing her movingly open last memoir, Refining Realness, as "gradual and challenging." 'Guidebook to Relative Strangers: Journeys Into Race, Motherhood, and History' by Camille Dungy Poet Camille Dungy's father, an academic physician, traveled often and took his family with him. Now, as Dungy herself travels the country with her daughter, she reflects on the experience of being a black woman and mother- 'How to Fall in Love With Anyone' by Mandy Len Catron Mandy Len Catron provided everyone with their new favorite date-night opener in her viral New York Times piece "To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This." Is it possible to create the conditions for romance armed only with 36 questions devised by a psychologist? 'Policing the Black Man' edited by Angela J. Davis The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Michael Brown are among the greatest and most telling tragedies in recent American History. 'Apprenticed to Venus: My Secret Life With Anais Nin' by Tristine Rainer Cuban-French writer Anais Nin was the queen of experimental, personal, erotic writing. She was also mentor to Tristine Rainer, who now offers an insider look at her relationship with the legendary bohemian 'Goodbye, Vitamin' by Rachel Khong Apart from having just published a cookbook/handbook/guidebook all about eggs (in fact, that's the title of the book), Rachel Khong also has her debut novel coming this summer. 'Sex and Rage' by Eve Babitz If you're not desperate to read this book based on the title, I don't know what to tell you. Originally published in 1979, Sex and Rage paints with Babitz's signature hues: Los Angeles sky blue, jacaranda mauve, and cocktail pink. 'What We Lose' by Zinzi Clemmons "I was born as apartheid was dying." So begins this debut novel about Thandi, raised in Pennsylvania but wondering increasingly about her "other home country" of South Africa. ) 'Arbitrary Stupid Goal' by Tamara Shopsin Blurbed by Miranda July, Tamara Shopsin's illustrated memoir will thrill lovers of '70s NYC culture. 'See What I Have Done' by Sarah Schmidt Having spawned a ballet, an opera, a musical, and even a Lifetime series, Lizzie Borden's story has enthralled the public since she was acquitted for the brutal murder of her father and stepmother in 1893. 'The Half-Drowned King' by Linnea Hartsuyker Game of Thrones will be back on our screens by the time this epic Viking saga comes out, and it's a safe literary bet for those of us who enjoy a bit of Westeros action. Ragnvald Eysteinsson is betrayed by his avaricious stepfather, and in trying to gain back his rightful inheritance 'Sour Heart' by Jenny Zhang Zhang, a poet of incandescent talent, is the first writer to be published by Lena Dunham's Lenny book imprint. Sour Heart's stories give voice to young Chinese women coming of age in New York City; 'The Futilitarians' by Anne Gisleson After Hurricane Katrina, a group of friends found the balm for their collective loss and trauma: literature. Philosophy, Russian novels, American classics-all formed part of the Existential Crisis Reading Group's syllabus. Read along if you're in need of a little healing. (August 22, Little, Brown) 'The Burning Girl' by Claire Messud Incendiary stories about women are Messud's wheelhouse-just look at her 2013 novel The Woman Upstairs. This time, she addresses adolescence: the way it can become the strongest adhesive between two young women, Cassie and Julia, and also a springboard for the kind of betrayal that will hurt the most. (August 29, W.W. Norton) 'Autumn' by Karl Ove Knausgaard No, I'm not trolling you-if you think about it, the end of summer is actually a pretty good time to publish a book called Autumn. Readers of his "My Struggle" volumes will know that the Norwegian writer is gifted at spinning exquisite prose about quotidian minutiae. |
