Joshua Furst recommends
Five-Star Stranger (2024)
Kat Tang
"In a grindingly deterministic world where everyone's faking it, Kat Tang has seen through the lies. She's asking the hard, important questions. Is there anything left to bind us to each other? Is it possible to transcend our useful but dehumanizing illusions? Her answers are clear eyed and profoundly humane. Five-Star Stranger is the moral tale we need in these troubled times. It's perfectly calibrated to blow your mind."
The Family Clause (2020)
Jonas Hassen Khemiri
"The Family Clause vibrates with rueful humor and quiet wisdom. The more you get to know the characters contained within it, the more you see how tremendously large Jonas Hassen Khemiri's heart must be. His redemptive vision is rare and needed in these dark times."
Keep Saying Their Names (2020)
Simon Stranger
"Keep Saying Their Names is a cut diamond of a book. Both brutal and tender, it drills toward its dark truths with hypnotic force while glimmering with the bright hope that we all might be redeemed."
