I’m delighted that Hunger and Thirst has been selected by The Globe and Mail (Canada’s most widely read national newspaper) as one of Summer’s Best Books. As the author of the piece, Emily Donaldson says, “Summer, traditionally, is publishing’s quietest season, but for many it’s the season most associated with long stretches of uninterrupted reading. No claims to comprehensiveness in the ensuing, genre-ordered list – just a way of sorting the season’s most promising titles by what they do and how they feel. If you’re in the mood for historical sweep, family drama, formal experiment, or something leaning toward the unsettling and uncanny, here’s a place to start.”

There are plenty on this list that I would love to read, including the novel Hunger and Thirst was set beside, The Longest Death by Kevin Jagernauth. I’m also looking forward to getting my hands on My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein, Deborah Levy and Pool House, Mary H. K. Choi
