June: A Novel

Product Information

The story deftly intertwines the two narratives and provides several wonderful tangible ties as the plot progresses.

June Books | Current | The Criterion Collection

In a media career spanning more than two decades, Dent has trained her irreverent eye on most aspects of popular culture, but she’s best known now as a restaurant critic and the early part of Hungry revisits the ways in which family life shaped her relationship with food. He was a politician and senator as well as a precociously talented surgeon, first specialising in gunshot wounds. The wait for his next brick-sized exposé can be sated by the 12 previously published profiles compiled here covering rogues of all stripes, from a vintage-wine forger to El Chapo. Like so much British writing on Germany, Kampfner’s fine Why the Germans Do It Better is also a book about Britain. At first I believed it to be a ‘girl crush’ common to adolescent girls, then I came to suspect it went far deeper than that.This mirror does not flatter: Kampfner sees a Britain “mired in monolingual mediocrity, its reference points extending to the US and not much further”. From 2015 (present) day to 1955 (past), a multi-layered complex coming-of-age tale of redemption, love, loss and family.
