Lydia Davis recommends
I Hear You're Rich (2023)
Diane Williams
"One of the very few contemporary prose writers who seem to be doing something independent, energetic, heartfelt."
Unquiet (2019)
Linn Ullmann
"Unquiet is a wonderfully absorbing and moving family story told with a directness, naturalness, and grace that can only result from Linn Ullmann’s close attention to the eloquent details of day-to-day life, her honest embrace of herself and the people close to her, and a keen sensitivity to language and the high demands of good writing."
