David Leavitt recommends
Harry Sylvester Bird (2022)
Chinelo Okparanta
"Chinelo Okparanta is one of our finest writers, and Harry Sylvester Bird is her finest book yet: funny, moving, and (in the best sense of the word) incendiary."
Blooms of Darkness (2010)
Aharon Appelfeld
"Like Anne Frank’s diary - a work to which it will draw justified comparison - Blooms of Darkness records a brutal process of education [through which] Appelfeld reveals his compassion, his wisdom, and his restraint . . . Majestic and humane."
