Hari Kunzru recommends
thumb
The Empusium (2024)
Olga Tokarczuk
"Deft and disturbing. . . In Antonia Lloyd-Jones's crisp translation, Tokarczuk tells a folk horror story with a deceptively light and knowing tone. . . elegant and genuinely unsettling."
thumb
No Country for Love (2024)
Yaroslav Trofimov
"At a time when many people are scrambling to understand Ukraine, No Country for Love gives us the story of the country's painful twentieth century as a sweeping romantic epic. It links the personal and the political in a way that cuts through wartime propaganda, restoring both human scale and moral complexity."
thumb
Beautiful Days (2024)
Zach Williams
"[Zach Williams's] beautiful, disquieting stories are profound in the true meaning of that word - they go deep. He's a major talent...an exciting debut."
