Kiran Desai recommends
Promise (2023)
Rachel Eliza Griffiths
"Promise is forged in a crucible of irrational violence and darkness that paradoxically gives birth to luminous, resilient love. This is a novel so potent, written in such transcendent prose, one wonders if it's secretly a magic spell. It's a stunning achievement."
The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land (2022)
Omer Friedlander
"As outrageously funny as they are outrageously tender, Friedlander's stories conjure complex and often difficult emotions with perfect acrobatic skill. A superb collection."
