A milestone will be reached this May as NUBClub read sand reviews its 200th novel. Celebrations take place with reads of Virginia Evans's buzzy debut, The Correspondent, with the quick subread of the COVID-era meditation Transcription by Ben Lerner. 200 novels - we are truly productive in our unproductivity.

A well-written and interestingly themed novel in which Choi does a masterful job depicting a forgotten history and painting a dysfunctional family, Flashlight is marred only by how deeply unlikeable some of the main characters are.

A good concept of a novel that was let down by some poorly written characters and a plot that disappoints, Hemlock failed to win any converts at NUBClub.
