Singer Distance (2022)
Ethan Chatagnier
"An inventive and heartfelt novel about the search to understand both the universe and ourselves. The best sort of mystery, one with big ideas at its center."
The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. (2022)
Lee Kravetz
"The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. is a fascinating and absorbing kaleidoscopic novel and a tender portrait of Sylvia Plath that, like the hand-written manuscript of The Bell Jar at the center of the novel, offers the reader more than one compelling picture, and point of view, of the poet. A literary page turner."
Light Years from Home (2022)
Mike Chen
"I love a book about siblings, and this one combines a clever sci-fi plot with a moving and deeply relatable depiction of a family in crisis. Propelled just as much by the complicated feelings Kassie, Evie, and Jakob have for each other as by Jakob's quest to win an intergalactic war, the novel asks the wrenching question: is it worse to be the one to leave your family, maybe forever, or to be the ones left at home? Light Years from Home is science fiction with heart, and reminded me in the best possible way of The X-Files - not just because an alien abduction is at the center of the story, but also because of how attached I became to its compelling, funny, and flawed characters. Right now I think we're all yearning for stories that either offer an escape or warm our hearts; Mike Chen's novel does both."
