Summer by Karl Ove Knausgård"The grand finale of Karl Ove Knausgaard's masterful and intensely-personal series about the four seasons, illustrated with paintings by the great German artist Anselm Kiefer. Documenting his family's life in rural Sweden and reflecting on a characteristically eclectic array of subjects--mosquitoes, barbeques, cynicism, and skin, to name just a few--he braids the various threads of the previous volumes into a moving conclusion. In his hands, the overwhelming joys and insoluble pains of family and parenthood come alive with uncommon feeling"

Summer Solstice : An Essay by Nina Maclaughlin"In the summer of 2019, Nina MacLaughlin published a four-part series on the summer solstice for the Paris Review's blog, The Reader. This loving, ranging essay about the meaning of summer-what is has meant in our lives, and what it might mean-has been expanded to include a new afterword and addendum about flowers/plants associated with the solstice. The essay is presented in a lovingly designed, small-format edition, one in trade paperback and the other with letterpress-printed covers".
