Aug '22 Notable Books: Akil Kumarasamy & Ella King

A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...

Meet Us by the Roaring Sea - Akil Kumarasamy (Aug. 23) - In the near future, a young woman finds her mother's body starfished on the kitchen floor in Queens and sets on a journey through language, archives, artificial intelligence, and TV for a way back into herself.

Bad Fruit - Ella King (Aug. 23) - Beautiful and shocking, Bad Fruit is as compulsive as it is thought-provoking, as nuanced as it is explosive. A masterful exploration of mothers and daughters, inherited trauma and the race to break its devastating cycle.
