As summer opens up before us, as we shake off our winter blankets and spring raincoats, writers and readers alike are flocking outside to drink in the long-awaited sunlight. Summer is the season of remembering how it feels to be a member of the world — this strange world of pollen and sneezes, of hot adirondack chairs and sweat, of cool waterfronts and sand between your toes. In these recommendations from RUSSELL BRAKEFIELD, TERESE SVOBODA, and STEFAN BINDLEY-TAYLOR, characters similarly discover where they fit and falter in their surroundings, and how they transform the worlds they inhabit. From cityscape to household, these stories traverse landscapes large and small, and one might just land in your summer-reading stack.
