James Hannaham recommends
The Wildes (2024)
Louis Bayard
"Naughty, witty, and scandalous as a Wilde play - Oscar must be blushing in his grave."
Colored Television (2024)
Danzy Senna
"If you thought California was burning before, wait until you read how literary arsonist Danzy Senna gleefully incinerates its values through the eyes of Jane Gibson - a heroine whose insecurity, mistakes, and lies will keep you riveted from start to finish."
Brooklyn Crime Novel (2023)
Jonathan Lethem
"If Dean Street could talk, Brooklyn Crime Novel would be its voice, and it would serve up a half-century of Brooklyn's dirt - fractured multicultural dreams, waves of gentrification, 'black mayonnaise' - while confessing its many crimes, from shoplifted magazines to blockbusting to murder. An intricate, spellbinding tour of the soul of Brooklyn as it casts off Manhattan's shadow."
