Other Indie FavoritesThe Sea Inside, by Philip Hoare (Melville House, $27.99) “Part poetic introspective, part elegy, laced with a slow sense of wonder, Hoare’s new book is a uniquely refreshing work. In some ways it is a memoir; in others a naturalistic account of travel and contemplation. The result, however, is neither autobiography nor another volume in environmentalist polyphony, but the genuine and comfortably deliberate thoughts of a man who, in our age, still looks to the sea and its myriad life forms with the wonder of an explorer of old. It is bracing to discover a voice that conjures the magic of nature without the heavy hand of dogma.” —Brian Boecki, Between the Covers, Harbor Springs, MI

Another Indie FavoriteThe Cold Song, by Linn Ullmann (Other Press, $15.95) “Elegant and incisive, The Cold Song exposes a complex family drama that revolves around the day a beautiful young woman goes missing. When she is found murdered, her family members must sort out their suspicions of one another and question their own degrees of responsibility for her death. This novel is a startling meditation on loss, how we deal with it, how it echoes through generations, and how our mistakes cause us to lose the ones we love.” —Jenny Patiño Cervantes, City Lit Books, Chicago, IL
