John Barth recommends

The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata (2009)
Gina Apostol
"Gina Apostol’s The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata weaves the complex tangle of Philippine history, literature, and languages (along with contemporary academic scholarship) into a brilliant tour de force of a novel. Brava!"

Drinking Coffee Elsewhere (2003)
ZZ Packer
"ZZ Packer's stories amuse, move, touch - and bite. Drinking Coffee Elsewhere is a first-rate collection."
