Let’s see

The Buccaneers by Edith Wharton - Very good, Edith Wharton is the GOAT, but unfinished at the time of her death. The edition that I had was finished (badly) by some hack in the 90’s, so watch out for that

Education of a Felon by Eddie Bunker - A fascinating memoir by a career criminal turned novelist. Well worth it for a look at the seedy underbelly of midcentury LA and prison culture. Danny Trejo, William Randolph Hearst, and George Jackson are minor characters

Blood and Guts in High School by Cathy Acker - I don’t even know what to say about this one. Visceral, weird and raw. Highly recommend

Some Desperate Glory by Edwin Campion Vaughan - Posthumously published memoir of an English officer during WWI. Great if you’re at all interested in this period of history

The Rifles by William T. Vollmann - If you’re not already Vollmannpilled you need to be. This one mingles the history of the doomed Franklin expedition with the systematic destruction of the indigenous arctic peoples through the present day (well of the 90’s when he wrote it)

Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker Martin - I really liked Manhunt last year and this one is also great. Queer horror in a wilderness conversion therapy camp. I actually saw her on her tour for this one’s release
