Heidi Julavits recommends

Liquid (2025)
Mariam Rahmani
"Brainy, swift, naughty, constantly surprising, and slyly political-a transgressive tour de force of cultural criticism hidden inside a careening, and deftly comic, logic proof of love."

Elegy, Southwest (2025)
Madeleine Watts
"Watts's strikingly brilliant novel is a measured fever dream of loneliness - private, political, razor-smart, and utterly engulfing. Watts is a prescient tour guide to human frailty, and to the climate apocalypse, and her voice is one we will most want to listen to, as people and landscapes collide with greater and great frequency and force."

I Will Greet the Sun Again (2023)
Khashayar J Khabushani
"A work of meticulous care and genuine candor . . . Khabushani is a poetic visionary, as generous as he is brave."
