Elise Blackwell recommends
Kayfabe (2024)
Chris Koslowski
"Kafaybe is the great American wrestling novel I didn't know I needed. Much more than that, it's a fabulously entertaining story about the roles we take, the lines we cross, and the sacrifices we sometimes rise to."
One Potato (2022)
Tyler McMahon
"One Potato blends cauterizing satire with a deeply humane worldview. It manages to be - all at once - fast-paced and thoughtful, hilarious and consequential, disturbing and delightful."
The City Where We Once Lived (2018)
Eric Barnes
"Spare and elegant, this novel brings into breathtaking relief a frighteningly recognizable future. Eric Barnes shows us what it means to inhabita building, a city, a life. And also what it means to be inhabitedby memories, by ghosts, and maybe, just maybe, by hope."
