Andrew Crumey recommends
thumb
The Brill Pill (2023)
Akemi C Brodsky
"The Brill Pill is a lively and thought-provoking novel from a highly promising young writer. In scientist anti-hero Will, Akemi Brodsky has created a Victor Frankenstein for our time - an ambitious academic who lets personal rivalries deflect his moral compass, making him push the boundaries of genetics too far."

Dead Rock Stars (2020)
Guy Mankowski
"Powerfully voices the concerns of a generation...a book with tenderness and sensitivity. Mankowski has written from a female perspective in a way that is touching, heartfelt and convincing. He is a consistently thoughtful, readable and rewarding novelist. His prose moves seamlessly between pensive introspection and meticulous observation, lyricism and drama."
