Into The Current: The Influences (10 books)

Listopia > Into The Current: The Influences

These are the books that (1) inspired my novel Into The Current, and (2) that I kept coming back to throughout the (very long) course of writing it. They all share in common the themes, style, and ambition that I was hoping to reproduce.
