Rick Bass recommends
We Burn Daylight (2024)
Bret Anthony Johnston
"A magnificent portrait of how even as the rivets of our republic are popping loose, plumes of beauty still rise from the soil upon which so much wrong continues to repeat. I read We Burn Daylight in a sitting, devoured it in a breath. It's an amazement."
Things We Found When the Water Went Down (2022)
Tegan Nia Swanson
"With the inspiration of passion and heightened attention (which some define as prayer) to her characters and setting, Tegan Swanson has written something entirely original and utterly fearless. Things We Found When the Water Went Down is an unforgettable literary experience that is more akin to being sucked down through a tube into a slightly different reality than it is to 'reading' a book. On this journey, the traveler's heart stills, quickens, dives, ascends, and with each page, becomes wiser. I've never quite read anything like it. This book is a joy and an illumination."
Vera (2021)
Carol Edgarian
"Sisters, mothers, heroines, charlatans, buffoons, scam artists, prostitutes, and the uncontrollable, passionate brawn of a young nation: in Vera we see, taste, smell the marrow of a country intoxicated on hope—all evidence to the contrary. Amazingly, Edgarian has captured a rolling, earnest, perpetual ruin so complex it could just be called life. She’s conjured another wonderful novel out of dust, history, love."
