Tara Isabella Burton recommends
thumb
Hazardous Spirits (2023)
Anbara Salam
"Equal parts lush Gothic mystery and delicately wrought 1920s domestic drama. . . . a riveting exploration of the unknowable - whether it's ghosts, spirits, or the people we love most."

How I Won a Nobel Prize (2023)
Julius Taranto
"Julius Taranto achieves the near-impossible: a literary comedy about cancel culture that is neither priggish nor self-satisfiedly transgressive, less about culture wars than the never-ending battle of being human. A novel of ideas in the tradition of, Norman Rush's Mating, How I Won a Nobel Prize is one of the best new novels I've read in years."
