Alexandra Chang recommends
Mood Swings (2024)
Frankie Barnet
"Frankie Barnet's propulsive, wholly original novel probes our dark preoccupations and our sources of hope in a seemingly hopeless world. Whether digging into the consequences of climate change, the allure of tech billionaires, the repercussions of cancel culture, or the love/hate dynamics of intimate relationships, Barnet's singular voice is dazzling and unexpected. She has that rare ability to be at once poignant and genuinely fun, moving and totally hilarious. This book cracked my brain open in the best way possible--I'm obsessed and want everyone to read it!"
Straw Dogs of the Universe (2023)
Ye Chun
"Ye Chun writes with depth and precision about the power of the human spirit - its resilience, tenderness, darkness, and yearning - even under the harshest of circumstances. Straw Dogs of the Universe is a luminous, unforgettable story about the terror and beauty of life for Chinese immigrants in the early American West. It will leave you aching by its end."
I Meant It Once (2023)
Kate Doyle
"The crystalline stories of I Meant It Once capture the complexities of our most intimate relationships - between partners, friends, family, and with one's self. Kate Doyle is a gifted storyteller, with a highly attuned sense for both language and vulnerability. This collection brims with the aches and longings, those wrenching pangs of emotional resonance, that one searches for in great fiction."
