Recommended Reading: "Down Around Midnight," By Robert Sabbag

This is a very fine book: moving, dramatic, subtle, in certain respects enigmatic. The book, by Robert Sabbag, was originally published in 2009, and is a memoir of/a journalistic exploration of/the contemplation of a 1979 Air New England plane crash, in a Cape Cod forest.

Here is the amazon link for the softcover edition of the book:
