Bright Lines by Tanwi Nandini Islam

Bright Lines is set in Brooklyn during the summer of 2003, the summer of the Blackout, and Ella is a young Bangladeshi woman growing up there, beginning the process of coming out to herself and her adoptive uncle’s family as queer while also being crushed out on her cousin Charu, whom she lives with. By the time we get to Charu’s friend Maya, we are in deep. This is a novel that let me travel a little more fully into this city that I love, even as it reminded me of so much of why I love it in summer.

The Complete Stories by Clarice Lispector, edited by Benjamin Moser and translated by Katrina Dodson

This is, aside from merely qualifying as one of the most physically beautiful books you could leave out on your blanket, a tremendous collection of stories from one of Brazil’s greatest writers. It is also heavy enough to keep the blanket from blowing down the beach in the wind while also serving as a sort of open flirtation to passersby canny sufficient to recognize her name.
