The Only Sound is the Wind (2024)
Pascha Sotolongo
"The intimate, incendiary stories in Pascha Sotolongo's elegantly woven debut collection offer an ode to the grief and exhilaration of diaspora, probe the delicate shades of gray between solitude and loneliness, and hinge, ultimately, on metamorphosis. The Only Sound is the Wind is a scar shaped like Cuba-a gorgeous scar."
Sycamore (2017)
Bryn Chancellor
"Bryn Chancellor's Sycamore instantly reminded me of Tana French's thrillers: a small, intertwined community, a long-ago crime, the tension and intrigue that won't stop rippling... Chancellor writes gorgeously, and her story is riveting and real. I love it."
Damnificados (2015)
JJ Amaworo Wilson
"Mythic, beautiful, wise, and strange, Damnificados yields pleasures on every page."
