Tess Gunty recommends
Universality (2025)
Natasha Brown
"In what is proving to be her signature architecture - a compact, cunning design of secret passageways - Brown immerses the reader in a house of haunted language. Fixing its attention on the cultural mutations of the extraction economy, Universality implicates everyone and condemns no one. I emerged from this novel with the conviction that the murder victim Brown is here to avenge is discourse itself. . . . Original, vital, and unputdownable."
Blue Light Hours (2024)
Bruna Dantas Lobato
"Blue Light Hours is a spellbinding meditation on distance and intimacy, holding close and letting go. In attentive linguistic brush strokes, Bruna Dantas Lobato offers a tender and dynamic portrait of the mutual care between a mother and a daughter as they navigate life apart. Resplendent."
All the World Beside (2024)
Garrard Conley
"In this accomplishment of breathtaking prose, expert pacing, and extraordinary psychological intelligence, Conley presents a world as it was, as it is, and as it could be. A triumph."
