Jakob Guanzon recommends
Radiant Heat (2024)
Sarah-Jane Collins
"Riveting. Smoldering. Chilling. By weaving a psychological thriller into a backdrop of ecological disaster, Collins ingeniously captures how the most intimate betrayals produce trauma of planetary dimensions. Radiant Heat scalds in the way only honest fiction can."
Tropicalia (2023)
Harold Rogers
"A wild and moving saga, Tropicalia bounds across generations and continents at a breakneck pace. With vivacious prose and an unflinching eye, Harold immerses readers in the crueA wild and moving saga, Tropicalia bounds across generations and continents at a breakneck pace. With vivacious prose and an unflinching eye, Harold immerses readers in the cruel beauties of Rio de Janeiro and the cyclical traumas of a family who is learning to heal and forgive like any other, yet each in their own broken but hopeful way. Tropicalia reminds us that forgiveness is possible but has to be earned - and before it's too late."
The Novelist (2022)
Jordan Castro
"No vacuous fad nor commonplace hypocrisy is safe from Jordan Castro. With prose as relentless as it is rhythmic, The Novelist gouges into the status-quo, laying bare the futility of both art and meaningful subversion against a culture of narcissism and instant gratification. Among his biting social commentaries, Castro weaves in shards of unabashed earnestness, even of rue, all of which culminate in a poignant meditation on the creative impulse. The Novelist not only establishes Castro as a fresh force to be reckoned with, but one with rare heart, too."
