NPR

Summer is almost here and what better way to spend time on the beach or in the park than with your nose in a good book.

Reviewer Alan Cheuse recommends coming-of-age tale Lark and Termite by Jayne Anne Philips, and a new edition of Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.

Author Samantha Hunt recommends Why The Devil Chose New England For His Works by Jason Brown and No Man's Land: American Essays by Eula Biss.

Michele Norris picks Serena: A Novel by Ron Rash.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
