In This Issue

This week's newsletter is positively bursting with fantastic reading recommendations! In Thank You, John, writing instructor Michelle Gurule delivers a "wry and insightful" memoir with a nuanced critique of the class and power structures related to sex work. Meanwhile, Jinwoo Park's Oxford Soju Club is as much a "lightning-paced spy thriller" as it is a "extraordinarily multilayered examination of identity and loyalty." And Yume Kitasei's propulsive postapocalyptic adventure, Saltcrop, sends sisters sailing across the ocean to find a missing family member. Plus, Higher Ground, the "captivating, innovative" children's graphic novel by Tull Suwannakit, features a resilient family adapting to a landscape drastically altered by a natural disaster.
