Adam Levin recommends
Gretel and the Great War (2024)
Adam Ehrlich Sachs
"Countless writers take pleasure in the style of their own sentences. Few of them provide such pleasure to their readers. Sachs provides it again and again. He doesn't let up. Plus he's funny as hell. No writer alive is more startlingly alive."
And Their Children After Them (2020)
Nicolas Mathieu
"As anguished as it is elegiac, as universal as it is grounded in the vivid particularities of its setting—1990s Rust Belt France—And Their Children After Them evokes the beautiful, miserable, longing-plagued experience of being an adolescent as pointedly and powerfully as any novel published since The Virgin Suicides."
