Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau. Charming coming-of-age story set during the summer of 1975. Nostalgic for those of us raised in that era. 4 stars.

“The Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brothers, have forgotten what these mestos were like, things changing so skorry these days and everybody very quick to forget, newspapers not being read much neither.”

I read the NYRB title of Walkabout by James Marshall Vance, which I can't really recommend — but it was a very quick, short read (130p) that worked for this prompt.

It was a relieve to be able to add one of my favorite reads of the year: "A Sunny Place for Shady People" by Mariana Enriquez.
I read the Spanish version.
