Y/N (2023)
Esther Yi
"Crisp zeitgeist setups within a transnational now-Esther Yi's sharp, sculpted paragraphs beat with a hilarious demonheart that'll make you cry. I loved it."
Activities of Daily Living (2022)
Lisa Hsiao Chen
"Activities of Daily Living is miraculously transformative of what it holds. Organized around the artworks of Tehching Hsieh and the act of witnessing a parent's end of life, a circumscribed but questing narrator synthesizes the chaos and fragments of time, death, and illness into a moving and brilliant arcade--a project about exceptional and quotidian endurances weaved together via lifesaving and heartbreaking bricolage."
Talking Animals (2020)
Joni Murphy
"The best NYC novel since The Puttermesser Papers, Murphy’s wise and hilarious Talking Animals bobs along the wake of the present and coming flood like some driftwood ark of sibylline genius. Its beasts reveal ourselves: the mercenaries, the easily complicit, the legion of sheep and lemmings (no offense), and the rarely defiant. Read it; after all, the sky is falling."
