Though we typically read the books we recommend the urgency to celebrate the release of Marlon James’ The Disappearers feels more important than our ability to complete it in a timely manner. The recipient of many awards including the American Book Award and The Booker Prize (for A Brief History of Seven Killings), The Disappearers is one of the dozen books shortlisted for this year’s Booker Prize.
The book is a journey with pop culture and music as its muses, about Jamaican homophobia, sex, violence, colonialism, AIDS, domination, submission and life in the margins, told by several of its characters. The reviews, unanimous in their praise for the book, speak to it better than we could:
“This Masterpiece Is the Novel of the Decade, if Not the Century” (The New York Times)
“The unrelentingly raw and profane vision is enlivened by the energy of the writing, and in particular its infusions of Jamaican slang. Mr. James does not simply reproduce the island’s singular patois; he uses it to create abrasive auditory rhythms.” (Wall Streeet Journal)
“…this polyphonic 640-page doorstopper is an emotionally bruising narrative that roves “uptown, downtown, ghetto and gully” through Aids-era Kingston with sidetrack excursions to 1950s England and a closing leap to 2000s United States.” (The Guardian)
“The Disappearers ends up as a violence-driven protest, a scream of rage—like Nirvana’s final album—against a world that keeps trying to kill people like him and then pretends that they asked for it, or that they never existed.” (The Atlantic)

Crazy Mountain is a new non-alcoholic beer brewed that way (thanks to a proprietary yeast) instead of brewing and removing the alcohol, which uses electricity and can change the taste. Made by the team behind Casamigos (George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman) who know a thing or two about creating new brands in the beverage space, it’s certainly not the first but it is one of the better tasting. Available in original and lime flavors, it’s a recommended addition to your NA line up. Price is for two six packs (you can mix the two flavors if you like). Also available in retail and delivery outlets.
