Hello, friends. It’s June now. We’re baffled by it, too. Perhaps the only up side to the sixth month of the year beginning is the fact that a new month brings new books, and this month has a lot to offer. As always, some writers we’ve long admired have new books out, whether fiction or nonfiction. Read on for some reading recommendations for the month we’re in.
In our morning reading: new writing by McKenzie Wark, indie booksellers’ recommendations, and more.
We were recently conversing with a writer about their new book for an interview to run on this very site when they noted — very aptly — that time seems to be especially accelerated this year. Or, to phrase it a bit differently: how exactly is it September already? At least one of the people involved with running this site is still pretty sure it’s still 2022. It’s baffling. Anyway, here are some books due out this month. We’re pretty excited to read them.
In our weekend reading: thoughts on McKenzie Wark’s new book, fiction by Lincoln Michel, and more.
In our afternoon reading: new writing from Roxane Gay, thoughts on Gary Indiana’s essays, and more.
In our afternoon reading: an interview with Michael Bible, what it’s like to run a virtual literary festival, and more.
In our morning reading: an interview with McKenzie Wark, thoughts on Caribou’s new album, and more.
