How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair is a very literary and lushly written memoir about growing up with a Rastafarian father in Jamaica who imposed his tyrannical will on his children, especially his daughters, to such an extent that it was suffocating and psychologically damaging.
Halle Butler's Banal Nightmare is about turning 37 and realizing you hate everybody you know, navigating adulthood in a late-capitalist internet era, funny, smart, and brilliantly vicious.
Erotic Vagrancy by Roger Lewis and Question 7 by Richard Flanagan are recommended as summer reads by Colm Toibin. Lewis' book on Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor is witty and wise, while Flanagan's book is a dark masterpiece about Tasmania and the legacy of World War II.
