SUNDAY LIST: NOSTALGIC LOOKBACK

written by Ashley Perez October 15, 2017

For this week’s Sunday list we asked Entropy contributors: What book invokes nostalgia for you?


Jeremy Hight

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury

It was the first book I read as a young teen that was immersive, was fiction and was conceptual. I was already a huge fan of his work but it opened up this whole new world of what was/is possible in prose and playing with form. I read it every few years again and salute it and his life.

Joseph Millazo

The Letter Left To Me  by Joseph McElroy

Gabino Iglesias

Sophie’s World  by Jostein Gaarder

Sara Finnerty Turgeon

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

One summer when I was 12 or 13 I spent a week staying up all night reading the series, sleeping late during the day, and I thought it was the best week of my life.

Anne-Marie Kinney

Any Vonnegut takes me back to my teenage years at my hometown library.

Laura Vena

October Country by Ray Bradbury

I read “The Lake” when I was 8 years old and was so overcome by the story, I decided that that was what I wanted to do, write.

Stephanie Tsank

The Shining by Stephen King

Which I read in class in high school during testing week (STAR or whatever); it scared me shitless and I loved it.

Andrea Lambert

Neuromancer by William Gibson

I read it first at CalArts & reread it again recently. Takes me back to that long hot North Hollywood summer after graduation when I devoured Gibson’s Idoru, Pattern Recognition & All Tomorrow’s parties while having my first Schizophrenic break & thinking intensely about cyborgs & the Internet.

Adrienne Walser

Bridge Over Terabithia by Katherine Paterson

My young fun sixth grade teacher, Miss Miller, read it to our class. That book is beautiful and sad, and my sixth grade year was intense and special.

Byron Campbell

The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base

Like many people, I’m nostalgic for childhood, and my childhood had a lot of Graeme Base. The Eleventh Hour, with its decryption puzzles and layers of riddles, was formative for me. I also spent hours trying to catalogue every detail from every page of Animalia.

Lavinia Ludlow

Down and Out on Murder Mile by Tony O’Neill

Brings me back to my grittier darker days. He’s a phenomenal writer.

Nina Rota

The Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey

Each time I read any of the first six books I’m carried to some fantasy place that is so familiar and luscious that I’m in a heaven I know and love.
