Ethan Rutherford’s North Sun is so lovely in its weirdness! Also it belongs to a book cluster that has coalesced in my reading life over the last year or so. In my mind, I have titled this cluster “Ships! What Are They Doing?”

Well, hey! A certified #WeirdBookWednesday is a finalist for a National Book Award in fiction! If you need a whaling novel with very little whaling & and unspecified pallor of dread woven throughout mundane experiences all told in beautiful, pensive prose, North Sun is your book!
