Claire-Louise Bennett recommends
thumb
The Hypocrite (2024)
Jo Hamya
"Jo Hamya is an exceptionally gifted writer."
thumb
After the Sun (2021)
Jonas Eika
"Eika's prose flexes a light-footed, vigilant, and unpredictable animalism: it's practically pantheresque. After the Sun is an electrifying, utterly original read."
thumb
Drifts (2020)
Kate Zambreno
"In Drifts, Kate Zambreno has taken nothing for granted. She has created a spirited, shape-shifting read that is by turns insightful, intimate, speculative, and mischievous. In her search to uncover the form's rich potential, Zambreno is unafraid to show us what she too is made of."
