5. Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

I’m enjoying it, however, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone.

Next up is The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G.B. Edward’s. It looks like it was a gem of a find. From GoodReads:

The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the twentieth century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island.

G. B. Edwards labored in obscurity all his life and completed The Book of Ebenezer Le Page shortly before his death. Published posthumously, the book is a triumph of the storyteller’s art that conjures up the extraordinary voice of a living man.

The orange hellbeast and his friends will have to pry my books from my cold dead hands!
