Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann (2019)

Not a short book, but an incredibly enjoyable and creative one. It’s technically one long stream of consciousness sentence. But, trust me, it’s lot more accessible than something super experimental or academic you read because you feel like you “should.” If you enjoy getting deeply close to the mind of a character and enjoy humor, social/cultural commentary, and subtly teasing out the shadow of modern US suburbia, you should give this one a try.
