Jesse Ball recommends
Gretel and the Great War (2024)
Adam Ehrlich Sachs
"His lunatics clamor to be believed, but Sachs wants something else: pin-thin-fancies that braid a rope to make your legs dance."
Life Is Everywhere (2022)
Lucy Ives
"The superb Lucy Ives slays enemy and friend alike in this multivalent successor to Jarrell's Pictures from an Institution."
Bubblegum (2020)
Adam Levin
"A book may be said to be a kind of fist, and the readers of such a fist-book as Bubblegum can surely not predict or prepare for the ecstatic bewilderment of the encounter, particularly when they are greeted in the depths of it by long-form theoretical analysis of their plight."
