Here’s some of the ones I’ve recently read.
Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs (Jamie Loftus)
“Part travelogue, part culinary history, all capitalist critique—comedian Jamie Loftus’s debut, *Raw Dog*, will take you on a cross-country road trip in the summer of 2021, and reveal what the creation, culture, and class influence of hot dogs says about America now.”
All the Living and the Dead (Hayley Campbell)
“A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people—morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners—who work in it and what led them there.”
Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life (Lulu Miller)
“Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, *Why Fish Don’t Exist* is a wondrous fable about how to persevere in a world where chaos will always prevail.”
