Very interesting to read after Miller’s Tropic of Cancer. Two very different pictures of interwar Paris. #readindie #booksky @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social #nyrbsummer

Yes! It’s at the bottom of the @peoplesbooktakoma.com book clubs page. I’m also going to be creating a Google doc with links to reviews, podcasts, and other resources about the book, author and press. peoplesbooktakoma.com/book-clubs/

🧛♂️ May was a book-thirsty month 📚🧠
From existential ghosts to dreamy metafiction and even Nazi-era history — this shelf’s seen it all. And yes, Nosferatu insists on reading old political mags. 📰💔
What did you read this month?

I’m starting up a book club @peoplesbooktakoma.com in early August to highlight the work and value of independent presses. Many of these presses lost funding as part of the NEA grant termination. (Cont.) #readindie
