A love affair between jurors; reclaiming a classic.
Dear readers,
Could I interest you in a literary field trip to the sauna? The oak branch whipping is optional. The cold plunge is not.
Every so often these shocks to the system are tremendously welcome: a way to clear the mind, heart and qi, even if the dry sauna is filled with groaning men in a midlife trance. Even if the ice bath is really a repurposed meat freezer with no apparent filtration system.
The novels I recommend here come close to replicating these extremes — a sudden shove from humid to arctic that stuns the senses. As with any good water circuit, you’ll be marveling at the effects for days.
