These long summer days provide us with the perfect opportunity to dive into a new book.
“[The Anthropocene Reviewed] explores how our lives could shift in an instance … He’s looking at emotional chronology, which is a really interesting thing to think about.” — Jenny Brown, Editor of Shelf Awareness, on John Green’s book
Listen: Shelf Awareness Editor Jenny Brown’s summer reading recommendations.
Guest
Jenny Brown is the senior editor at Shelf Awareness, a newsletter about books and the book industry.
Brown’s first pick is “Remote Work Revolution” by Tsedal Neeley. The book explores the acceleration of remote work brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the challenges associated with working from home. ”She talks a lot about how to be inclusive with members of your work team, how to make everyone feel heard, and also a lot of things that are applicable to conversations we’ve been having about diversity, equity, and inclusion,” Brown says.
She also suggests “Three Simple Lines” by Natalie Goldberg. In it, Goldberg examines the history and importance of the haiku. ”[The book] is part memoir, part travel log, part meditation and writing guide, as she makes a pilgrimage to Japan to visit the sites of importance to the great haiku masters,” Brown says.
Brown also recommends that readers pick up John Green’s “The Anthropocene Reviewed.” The book is a collection of 44 essays that detail the advances of modern-day society and our evolving relationship with the world today. Brown says the book explores ”how our lives could shift in an instance … He’s looking at emotional chronology, which is a really interesting thing to think about.”
