Hey, how are you guys? Spring is here and I'm absolutely psyched about the nice weather! Here are some books you can read in parks and on balconies when the sun is shining to top that happiness and inner peace (maybe take a blanket with you though, not so warm yet).
Juan Martinez is an English professor at Northwestern University and the author of the short story collection Best Worst American as well as the Weird fiction work Extended Stay , his debut novel, which tackles themes such as undocumented Latinx experiences in the USA and living and working conditions under capitalism. Extended Stay was published in January 2023 by University of Arizona Press. I'm very grateful to have a chance to chat with him about his work.
