What Else We’re Reading

ALU staffer Tan Light read Shani Mootoo’s new novel Polar Vortex (Book*hug Press): “Polar Vortex will sweep you up into a day in the life of Priya, a day when her carefully isolated longings will finally converge, a day when hidden tensions both old and new will be laid bare. It is a day that will change everything about the life she’s crafted in the lake-side community of Prince Edward County. Literary readers looking for an unreliable narrator will find a satisfying puzzle in Polar Vortex.”
