Kevin Chong recommends
The Other Valley (2024)
Scott Alexander Howard
"In The Other Valley, Scott Alexander Howard takes an ingenious conceit and wraps it in a story of teenage love to explore eternal questions about second chances and predestination. Howard's novel is sensitively written, propulsively plotted, and unforgettable."
Batshit Seven (2024)
Sheung-King
"Sociopolitically trenchant and darkly witty, Batshit Seven captures what it's like to be a millennial in the age of COVID-19 as a hyphenated, transnational person in a city being dismantled by both political oppression and End Times capitalism. Sheung-King writes unerringly and convincingly about Hong Kong, privilege, Chinese families, lost loves, and so much more."
The Sugar Thief (2012)
Nancy Mauro
"The Sugar Thief is an ingeniously plotted story about immigrant families and YouTube stars that is stuffed with knockout sentences. Nancy Mauro offers the literary equivalent of a show-stopping pastry with her surprising and satisfying novel."
