There There (2018)
Tommy Orange
"A beautiful, dangerous, sad, poetic, and hilarious revelation....this book is so revolutionary - evolutionary - that Native American literature will never be the same."

Sun House (2017)
David James Duncan
"This is a classic epic novel with 21st century humor and timeless spirituality. I laughed so much and cried just as often. It's sexy, politically astute, visionary, and bold. I love this novel. I love David. Read it now."

Bream Gives Me Hiccups (2015)
Jesse Eisenberg
