Nothing more chic than a hilly city. The people long for Pittsburgh, for Chongqing, for Cincinnati.

One thing I really love about Cincinnati is that with all hills and blind corners, basically every intersection has a traffic light instead of stop signs. Really nice.

I love Chicago (greatest American city, even including Louisville), but the terrain does leave something to be desired. A certain mystique.

Summer in the House of the Departed is a novella close to my heart. Iād love more folks to check it out and help spread the word. For fans of ghosts and grief and occult rituals and town-swallowing portals and melancholy vibes.

One question I do have is whether you have any recommendations for reading about the Amur leopards. I am really curious about them as well.

Exactly! And even if a book isnāt set in summer, it can still have summer vibes. Spring is elusive.

This is a great series. Good mysteries, nicely drawn depiction of midcentury queerness; neither sadsack nor starry eyed.
NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about MIRAGE CITY by Lev A.C. Rosen. The latest Andy Mills queer historical mystery, this exploit is a roadtrip down to sunny sinister Los Angeles on a missing persons case. Our drink is the Bacchanal, for motorcyclists & Mattachines alike!
