microhistory: the intensive historical investigation of a well defined smaller unit of research (such as an event, community, individual or a settlement); it aspires to "ask large questions in small places"

With all the lobster talk going on, @Babygotbooks inspired this list, by giving it an awesome title. Lobsters are somewhat important parts of these books, whether being used as a metaphore, character, food or something else 😉. It varies wildly in genre, going from murder mystery, to children book, to essays, to weird smut. (recs always appreciated) I also made a same themed shelf with only french lit if you're interested. Hope you enjoy !
