Andrey Kurkov recommends
Oromay (2025)
Baalu Girma
"Reading Baalu Girma's novel Oromay sent me back to the time when I first watched the film Casablanca. No, it's not about the similarity of the plot. It's the same surefire set of ingredients that draws you into the story and makes you empathize with the characters. Eritrea in the 1980s, war, junta, coffee shops where local spies and CIA agents drink coffee, a love story . . . A gripping novel that has 'documentary' flavor."
Daybreak (2024)
Matt Gallagher
"Daybreak takes the reader on a thrilling journey through war-time Ukraine. The plot moves at the speed of a road movie, intensifying every detail of the story, each word spoken by the characters who may well be based on people the author met during his recent trips to Ukraine's front lines. Shocking and totally believable."
