Sketchbook | Leanne Shapton
Summer Shares

New York Times

There is fate in the moldy, dog-eared paperbacks found on the shelves and bedside tables of summer guest rooms. When the masterpiece we’ve dutifully brought along stalls five pages in, the accidental bounty of other people’s discarded reading beckons. Like conversations with strangers on a train, these random literaryencounters can be unsettling, distracting or life changing.
Eight writers tell us what they have read on their summer vacations.
