Beauties, I’ve got another starred Kirkus review, this time for my memoir The Mourner’s Bestiary. Full review out 11/23, but until then, they called me a LATTER DAY RACHEL CARSON and I died. Also: “A future classic of nature writing—if, that is, there is a future.”.

Beauties, I wrote about shipwrecks in literature for LitHub and why reading about disasters helps us build a muscle we need for living through times of loss and upheaval. Good reading for the last days before the election and the weeks after hurricanes.
.@eirencaffall recommends books about maritime disasters by Herman Melville, Sebastian Junger, Diana Preston, and more.
