Body Grammar (2022)
Jules Ohman
"Jules Ohman has fashioned an utterly original account of a young person struggling with a combination of thwarted desire, rocketing fame, and an urgent need to understand what her life is beneath its veneer. Her struggles possess a flinty dignity that is reflected in Ohman's stately and tender prose. Here is a debut to savor."
