Joe Meno recommends
Night Letter (2023)
Sterling Watson
"Sterling Watson's Night Letter is a revelation and one of the most engaging books I've read in a long time. Part voice-driven coming-of-age, part atmospheric noir, the writing itself is incisive and poetic, and the characters themselves are those rare literary creations--complicated and human and real. Imagine a thriller conceived by David Goodis and written by Carson McCullers. This book helps to redefine the boundaries of contemporary American fiction."
Polar Vortex (2020)
Shani Mootoo
"Polar Vortex is a powerful, fraught, and inventive exploration of the impossibility of ever really knowing the people we come to love. Told in urgent, incandescent prose and effortlessly spinning in and out of time, the book is an intimate and starkly honest examination of the complexities of sexual identity, lust, shame, regret, and how we, no matter where we come from or how we identify, are at our most complicated when it comes to the whims and failings of the human heart."
The Up-down (2015)
Barry Gifford
"The Top-down is a one-of-a-kind marvel full of humor, tragedy, and great mystery. Always inventive, always daring, it deceits the necessity of love in a new century marked by mankind's capacity for violence and cruelty."
