Children of Radium: A Buried Inheritance by Joe Dunthorne; Scribner, 240 pp., $28.99We have entered the era of the third- and even fourth-generation World War II memoir. It comes with its own distinguishing features: these grandchildren and great-grandchildren must write not from memory but from investigation, sometimes as dispassionately as if they were outsiders to their own families.

Green, a Harvard lecturer on public policy, debuts with an enthralling biography of Walter E. Fernald (1859–1924), a controversial doctor who shaped much of 20th-century American government policy toward the disabled.

Seefeel have released a new mini-album, titled Squared Roots. Spanning seven tracks, it features previously unreleased cuts lifted from the recording sessions that birthed the album Everything Squared, which was released earlier this year and marked the group’s first album in 13 years. The new release is billed as a more dubbed-out and ambient take on the material that made up the previous record.

Joe Dunthorne: Testing FriendshipsGetty ImagesWe should have trusted the man at Avis car rental in Reykjavík airport. He examined our itinerary closely — volcano, glacier, black-sand beach — and insisted on an all-wheel-drive car with every conceivable airbag. We thought he was being melodramatic. He stressed the importance of always parking “into the wind” as the gusts get so strong that the moment we try to get out of the car, the wind will rip the door off.

Musically, South Yorkshire has been a region that has historically punched above its weight, one of the country’s great producers of artistic iconoclasts. The 70s’ greatest jazz guitarist, John McLaughlin, was kicking around the streets of Donny before he took his skronk across the pond, whilst Threads-era Sheffield was the backdrop for The Human League, Cabaret Voltaire and Clock DVA as they crafted a form of tetchy synthesiser music that thoroughly inverted the saccharine pop music of the era.

In the centre of Swansea’s indoor market there are great piles of ink-black sludge that resemble a petrochemical waste product. This is, in my opinion, the high point of Welsh cuisine. It says a lot about our nation that, while the Japanese took the same seaweed and created paper-thin sheets of nori — sponge-pressed and fan-dried, so delicate it can be lifted by a gust of wind — we took that ingredient, boiled it for days, minced it and portioned it out in polystyrene tubs.

Geoff DyerI had the pleasure of gorging, earlier this year, on Anita Brookner’s first nine novels, one after the other. A summer holiday for the typical Brooknerian heroine means one of two things: not having one and languishing in a mansion block in London, simultaneously looking forward to and dreading the return of a few friends who will tell her what she’s missed out on; or going away alone and coming home early because it proves unendurable.
