Nawaaz Ahmed recommends
The Lilac People (2025)
Milo Todd
"The Lilac People is at once a poignant ode, a powerful testimony, a rousing anthem, a timely warning, and a gripping heart-in-throat novel that is as richly rendered as it is urgent. All fiction should aspire to as much."
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."
