Yesterday's issue of Hut's Place, the weekly newsletter by Hut Landon, bookseller and former executive director of the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association (now part of the California Independent Booksellers Alliance), focuses on two "new novels from literary titans" who "examine millennial angst and ocean colonization": Intermezzo by Sally Rooney and Playground by Richard Powers. A third title highlighted is The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave, in which "siblings seek answers about their father's puzzling and suspicious death."
