A Look at August Through Literature
No one can deny that this year has thrown all of us for a loop but if you’re finding yourself opening my email today, welcome and keep your wits about you. Find something relatable in this month’s collection of books, which touch on mental illness, physical illness, and an illness in our society. You can continue to find my full list of recommendations here, which will be updated as I add more.
Along with my book recommendations below, you can check out my new short novel, Tania the Revolutionary, on Amazon with a reduced price for Kindle readers!
It's hard to find fresh ways to write mental illness and the patient-therapist relationship that actually respects the profession, so here's a book that does both.
If you are currently encountering some hysterical and despairing people, or if you are feeling that way yourself at times, Poe has got you.
If life has taken on a surreal, otherworldly feeling lately, you are not alone. Check out this short novel in this collection by the author of They Came Like Swallows, a novel on the 1918 flu epidemic.
Here's a story about a whole neighborhood of women who won't venture out. Though here the problem is not a pandemic but a place called Mango Street.
For any new readers: My new novel, Tania the Revolutionary, is available on Amazon for Kindle and paperback or Barnes & Noble for eBook.
