Catherine Chung recommends
The Brill Pill (2023)
Akemi C Brodsky
"Provocative and unnerving, The Brill Pill is a whip-smart, propulsive, too-close-for-comfort exploration of what happens when scientific curiosity, moral limits, and personal ambition collide. An intoxicating thrill of a read from a dazzling new voice."
The Sense of Wonder (2023)
Matthew Salesses
"Matthew Salesses's new novel is so freaking good I can't stand it. Blistering, confident, full of swagger and heart, it is also an exhilaratingly smart treatise on race and our collective imagination that lays bare our limitations before blasting joyfully past them. A must read!"
The Strange Inheritance of Leah Fern (2022)
Rita Zoey Chin
"To read The Strange Inheritance of Leah Fernis to be transported into a world so luminescent and full of wonder, so infused with sorrow and hope and joy and magic, that I wish I could send a copy to everyone on Earth. Rita Zoey Chin's captivating debut novel is the best kind of enchantment--transformative and moving and full of untold delights."
