Alyson Hagy recommends
Camera Lake (2024)
Alex Pickett
"Camera Lake is such a powerful read. Pickett writes relevant, risk-tinged fiction that's deft with humor and heart. These stories are fresh in form and content--and they will grip you with their fully imagined characters, these flawed Americans who have made the beds they lie in with open eyes."
One Night Two Souls Went Walking (2020)
Ellen Cooney
"The very rare book that pierces both spirit and sense of humor. One Night Two Souls Went Walking wrapped me in its warm wisdom from the start. Reading it was like reading a Mary Oliver poem or Marilynne Robinson novelradiant, humane, splendidly joyous."
Treeborne (2018)
Caleb Johnson
"Every now and again a powerful new voice bursts into song and begins to sing stories we can’t do without. Caleb Johnson's is such a voice. The characters and desires of Treeborne will wrap themselves around you tighter than any wild vine. And the setting of Elberta, Alabama will call out to you like a long-lost home. This novel is a gripping, entrancing debut by one whirlwind of a writer."
