New and upcoming books
Catherine Bush recommends
The Adult (2023)
Bronwyn Fischer
"[Reading The Adult], I enter a beautiful and beguiling world, in which Fischer's sentences do what the best writing does: alter my way of seeing. The novel offers a deeply embodied sense of being eighteen in a new place, even as the narrator longs simultaneously to step into a new self. The unexpected perils and complexities of her journey are rendered with utmost specificity, offered to the reader with verve, heartbreak and comedy. This is the debut of an utterly original new voice."
Even So (2021)
Lauren B Davis
"In Even So, Lauren B. Davis brings enormous compassion and intelligence to her portrayal of characters trying to live right and live fully in this messy, murky yet blazingly redemptive world."
