When you make your long-awaited return to air travel this summer, you will quickly be reminded that air travel is a miserable, miserable sport, so much so that you might rather go to the moon. The book focuses on the test pilots tasked with turning Richard Branson's hare-brained idea—a suborbital space trip in a small rocket dropped from a large plane—into a painstakingly engineered, catastrophically disaster-tested reality. It's also about fathers, and sons, and the ways that the pilot's life can both deepen and fracture the bonds between them. You'll finish before your plane lands. Thad Ziolkowski's ambitious new pseudo-memoir is ostensibly a book about surfing, and on a sentence level it contains some truly magical writing in the vein of Barbarian Days in fact, William Finnegan provides the cover blurb. But it's also an addiction memoir that isn't afraid to explore the liminal spaces where the endorphin rush of the sport meets our darker compulsions. In less capable hands the wheels would squeak right off. But when Ziolkowski is on, it's hard not to feel what he's feeling. It's a science book about the things we tether ourselves to, made spiritual. The book follows Isa and Gala, two glamorous year-old grifters hustling their way through a summer in New York while doing, well, absolutely nothing.

Come summer, recommending books is a high-stakes game. The right story collection can make a vacation, just as the wrong novel can drive you out of the comforts of a seaside cottage, wandering the streets like a madman in search of entertainment at the mini golf course, the tiki lounge, or that candle-pin bowling alley where a man lost a hand the year before last. This time of year, no other literary term gets thrown around quite so loosely. But what are the parameters? What are the goals? What makes a book suitable for reading on sand in salted air with flesh and paddle sports all around?
