Dennis Cooper recommends

Medusa of the Roses (2024)
Navid Sinaki
"Navid Sinaki's writing is really, really something. Reading Medusa of the Roses not only pleasures through its chaseable story and meticulously tuned characters, it offers the non-stop bedazzlement of some of the most intoxicating and yet exacting prose I've read in ages. It's a rush of a novel, and honestly kind of perfect."

Bad Eminence (2022)
James Greer
"James Greer has always been a novelist I would hock my skills set to measure up against, but even matched against his prior coups, Bad Eminence is unspeakably exciting. Its grace and hilarity and brains and foolproof read on Frenchness and I don't even know what else made my hands shake."

Flats / Quake (2009)
Rudolph Wurlitzer
"One of the most unique and fascinating American writers."
