#beartown

i recommended this book to my dentist while her fingers were in my mouth and im recommending it to you too: “i know it’s about hockey but it’s really about right now. It’s about America post 2016 and our past and our future and everything that’s ever happened, even though it’s set in Sweden and it’s kinda sorta a little bit about hockey “bear town” is the kind of book that defies explanation because to explain it would be to ruin it. but it’s stunning. it’s “cat person” only it’s 432 pages and it’s not just about millennials if “the art of fielding” (my other favorite sports novel not actually about sports) was the baseball novel about our lives, then “bear town” is the hockey novel about our lives today anyway, read it. : Joshua Fuller and Christian Holzinger @unsplash

Best of the Year: BEARTOWN by Frederik Bachman is a top pick of Kate’s!
