The Archive of Feelings

Heartfelt and honest, this poetic and impeccably written short novel takes readers on a deeply thoughtful, realistic psychological journey, admirably translated by Hofmann. Stamm is a writer who deserves a wide audience.

Julia

Heartily recommended; a well-executed story with as much significance in today’s world as Orwell’s original was in 1949.

The List

A real nail-biter, this impeccably written debut from journalist Adegoke (coauthor of Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible) keeps audiences wondering until the end. Boasting cinematic qualities that will ease its jump to the screen, this book has already been sold for a TV series.

Lucky Dogs

With vivid and realistic characterizations, Schulman (This Beautiful Life) has written a work of fiction that should be read and discussed widely. Part mystery, part thriller, and at its heart an examination of why and how women can treat each other so callously and despicably, it’s tough to set down. Ironically, it would make a tremendous movie.

The Exhibitionist

Intense emotions flood the characters in this scathing tale of family dysfunction, with everyone seemingly crying or screaming at all times despite the dry British humor that pervades the narrative. For readers who like things over the top.

Tell the Rest

Writing in a graceful, fluid style, Bledsoe examines life in Rockside in all its dimensions while revealing how Delia makes peace with a traumatic time of her past. Delia’s reconnecting with Ernest, who bonded with her during camp and is now an accomplished poet, gives the novel a definite upbeat tone and message. Both insightful and page-turning; highly recommended.

The Applicant

Excellently written, this first work presents Leyla as an authentic individual who will not easily be forgotten, and exquisitely explores the frustrations and insights of an inquiring mind sorting out past history, boyfriends and lovers, dreams and reality. Fans of Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi’s Call Me Zebra will appreciate.

Moonrise over New Jessup

An outstanding writer, Minnicks excels at capturing the atmosphere and issues of a specific locale at a particular time, the Deep South at the dawn of the civil rights era. This highly recommended title is an excellent choice for book discussion groups and would make a great movie.

Biography of X

A tour-de-force in literary and artistic realms, this engrossing story of breakaway artist X will challenge readers on many levels.
