Nawaaz Ahmed recommends
A Map for the Missing (2022)
Belinda Huijuan Tang
"Belinda Huijuan Tang's magical debut epitomizes both meanings of tenderness, in the palpable love it shows for its characters, and by its sensitive exploration of their wounds, inflicted by self and time and social milieu. A Map for the Missing is sharply etched and lovingly rendered."
American Fever (2022)
Dur e Aziz Amna
"A loving and unflinching exploration of home and homeland, the ways they make and unmake us, how they feed us and also eat away our insides. Amna's crystalline prose reflects and refracts, dazzles and captivates."
How to Be a Revolutionary (2022)
CA Davids
"How To Be A Revolutionary is that rare political thriller with an epic sweep. Deftly interweaving upheavals in three countries, C.A. Davids brilliantly dissects the ways we deceive ourselves and fail to live up to our highest ideals while still holding out hope that we can yet wake up and make atonements."
