Patrick Flanery recommends
Daisy & Woolf (2022)
Michelle Cahill
"At once critically acute and narratively rich, Daisy and Woolf shows us that there are always new ways to read the past in order to understand the present."
How to Be a Revolutionary (2022)
CA Davids
"How to be a Revolutionary draws a line of startling connection from Harlem to Shanghai to Cape Town, traveling through the twentieth century and right up to the present. Part literary thriller for the age of rampant state surveillance, part excavation of the kinds of memories that shame nations, it tells stories of ordinary people united by a determination to improve the lot of the many, often at great personal risk to themselves. Through a virtuosic summoning of voices, each clear in its register and compelling in its force, Davids has written a book of and for the moment through which we are living. It is a brave and necessary work, illuminating the complex energies that tie together North and South, East and West, in surprising and often chilling ways. This is a novel of astonishing empathetic powers."
The Dust Never Settles (2021)
Karina Lickorish Quinn
"Lickorish Quinn's magnificent debut enchants from first page to last... A breath-taking writer of singular voice."
