Five-Star Stranger (2024)
Kat Tang
"Five-Star Stranger is a genuine original. As her protagonist shifts shapes and charms clients, you'll fall for each and every performance he gives. Father one moment, friend the next, and ex-boyfriend after that, he plays each role with aplomb, and Tang draws us in on the hunt to discover what truly lies at the heart of the best unknown supporting actor in New York City. Fast-paced, beautiful, and dazzlingly funny, this novel is a brilliant achievement."

Ways and Means (2024)
Daniel Lefferts
"Ways and Means is a triumphant debut, a pulsating novel that dives into every crevice of our lives, from high art and higher finance, to the depths of student debt and MAGA politics. Readers will be propelled alongside the quixotic journey of young Alistair McCabe as he attempts to escape each newly unfolding nightmare before it swallows him alive. Captivating, fresh, witty and brilliant, Lefferts is a true, original American voice and this novel is not to be missed."

Little Disasters (2018)
Randall Klein
"Twisting and turning on every page, LITTLE DISASTERS by Randall Klein pulls readers deep into the lives of two Brooklyn couples whose fates are entwined one night outside of a hospital delivery room. Expertly written and exciting, this novel explores what it means to face great loss-- and how to be even greater, as a parent, a partner, and a friend."
