Diego Gerard Morrison | FICTION,  Jun 07, 2024

Riveting, gripping, and atmospheric, the latest from award-winning, Mexico City-based Morrison (The Wait) takes readers on a whirlwind trip across his homeland. Macondo, the magical utopia of One Hundred Years of Solitude, is an object of desire that remains elusive in Morrison’s gritty tale of violence and love.

Yasmin Zaher | FICTION,  Jun 01, 2024

Capitalism, materialism, love, lust, friendship, purity, the natural world, cleanliness, place, and self-image are all explored in this thunderous, lightning-speed, fast-reading tale. Zaher, a Jerusalem-born Palestinian, writes with passion and holds nothing back in her buzzy, strong debut.

Xochitl Gonzalez | FICTION,  Mar 29, 2024

Gonzalez’s novel is based on the true story of artist Ana Mendieta who tragically died young, allegedly at the hands of a jealous man. The writing is absolutely fabulous, the story is gripping, and the characters are memorable. Outstanding.

Édouard Louis | FICTION,  Feb 01, 2024

Louis’s (History of Violence) brilliant autobiographical novel set off fireworks when it was published in France. This fast page-turner will stir emotions and quicken heartbeats as Eddy creates his ideal self-image.

Álvaro Enrigue | FICTION,  Jan 01, 2024

In Enrigue’s well-researched novel, a segment of Aztec history comes to life, with the author’s own twist.

Christine Coulson | FICTION,  Dec 22, 2023

To be devoured in one or two sittings, this wonderful novel is astounding and ingenious. It will be a highlight of many book discussion groups and for devotees of art museums, especially women.

Peter Stamm | FICTION,  Dec 01, 2023

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.

Sandra Newman | FICTION,  Oct 27, 2023

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

Yomi Adegoke | FICTION,  Oct 01, 2023

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.
