The Unwanted (2025)
Boris Fishman
"The Unwanted is Boris Fishman's best book yet - one of the best books I've read in years, in fact. But don't call it an allegory. It's entirely too convincing, too human, and too humane for that. In telling the story of a family pushed to the brink by events and perceptions they can do nothing to alter, Fishman has delivered something truly sophisticated - sophisticated artistically but also morally. A harrowing novel for equally harrowing times."
Two-Step Devil (2024)
Jamie Quatro
"Jamie Quatro is one of the finest, and most fearless, American writers currently working. Her new novel, Two-Step Devil, is, among other things, an intense exploration of the Christian faith, a deeply empathetic portrait of a weirdo, and a peerlessly innovative modern-day theodicy. I've never read anything like it. I suspect no one has."
The Refugee Ocean (2023)
Pauls Toutonghi
"From its opening paragraph to its shattering last line, The Refugee Ocean had me in a thrall. Deeply humane, and written in elegant, understated prose, this is a novel with old-fashioned sweep and texture, yet it always feels burningly relevant. Pauls Toutonghi, take a bow."
