Beach Read Feed: Ways to Disappear — Read This, Drink That



Ah, summer — that blissful season when life is cool and carefree. (Just kidding — you're trapped in an office while it's gorgeous out, your hair can't handle the humidity, and your vacation days are dwindling.) But!

We've rounded up a selection of reading material by turns easy, breezy, and above all, brilliant — plus its perfect cocktail complement. Enjoy.

Poet Idra Novey's debut novel focuses on the disappearance of a Brazilian author and the unorthodox quest of the American translator determined to find her. With playful prose stylings and the pacing of a noir thriller, it's an ideal summer fix.

Novey's tale of loss and intrigue is made that much better by an excuse to cap it off with Brazil's national cocktail, the Caipirinha.
