Megan Kruse recommends
Fire Season (2022)
Leyna Krow
"In this rare and luminous novel, Krow weaves a fabulist history of the inland northwest in its rangy adolescence. Against a backdrop of catastrophe, her renegade characters stake everything on games of chance and destiny. Fire Season is a testimony to the power of transformation and influence, a reminder that true vision is not about controlling the future, but creating it."
The Cassandra (2019)
Sharma Shields
"A stunning fable of hubris, complicity, and nuclear genesis, set against the raw backdrop of the wartime northwest. Sharma Shields illuminates the grotesquerie of humanity’s progress and offers up an elegy for a damned world."
The Wildlands (2018)
Abby Geni
"In exquisite prose, Geni renders the ecstasy and anguish of familial love, and the ways it can lead us to the edges of who we imagine ourselves to be. A savage, glittering novel."
