Find coherence in a chaotic world – or at least a cheat-sheet of literary anecdotes for lustreless post-lockdown chatter – with this summer’s best reads, as chosen by Tank's panel of guest editors: Barbara Epler (New Directions), Jeremy Poynting (Peepal Tree Press), Alexis Zavialoff and Maia Asshaq (Motto).
