Jun '22 Notable Books: Andrew Holleran, Ed Yong & Ottessa Moshfegh
A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...
The Kingdom of Sand - Andrew Holleran (Jun. 7) - The Kingdom of Sand displays all of Holleran's considerable gifts; it's an elegy to sex and a stunningly honest exploration of loneliness and the endless need for human connection, especially as we count down our days.
Lapvona - Ottessa Moshfegh (Jun. 21) - In a village in a medieval fiefdom buffeted by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy finds himself the unlikely pivot of a power struggle that puts all manner of faith to a savage test.
An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us - Ed Yong (Jun. 21) - The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of an immense world.
