Lydia Millet’s FAIR ONES is funny, sad and sharp on how grief coexists with everyday life (while taking on guns, plea bargains, prison reform, and restorative justice along the way).

Thanks to W. W. Norton & NetGalley for the ARC.

We drink the water. We get on the plane. We file our taxes. Trust in government is everywhere.

January reads I hope to get to soon: THE POISON PALACE by Shreya Ila Anasuya, TASTES LIKE SEEING GOD by Nina Michiko Tam, DOVECOMBE by Alex Clark, A NEW KIND OF CLEAN by Iain Reid and Ellie Foumbi. #ewgc
The cover of A New Kind of Clean depicts a long white hallway with the title in smudged pink and red lettering. The cover of Dovecombe depicts a small black tree in the middle of a white background. The tree resembles a skull and there are burn marks on the edge of the image. The cover of The Poison Palace depicts an Indian woman turned away from the viewer with several dark blue snakes entwined around her and peeking up over her head. The cover of Tastes Like Seeing God depicts a table crowded with dishes and several pairs of hands and arms visible around its edges.

Thought there was nothing new to learn about the sinking of of the Titanic? Think again. DEAD IN THE WATER: THE LOST PASSENGERS OF THE TITANIC by Caitlin Doughty was fascinating. One of the my favorite non-fiction books of the decade. @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social #ewgc
