Rick Moody recommends

Too Soon (2025)
Betty Shamieh
"Too Soon is funny, startling, fresh, deeply felt, moving, and full of an important commitment to the complexities of character. It also sings of a subject that is deeply necessary in a way that is new and full of energy. I admire this work."

Blue Light Hours (2024)
Bruna Dantas Lobato
"Bruna Dantas Lobato is one of those examples with which we are gratifyingly reassured that the future of literature is bright indeed."

Y/N (2023)
Esther Yi
"Esther Yi's every paragraph is revelatory, unexpected, with an intense capacity to see the world anew, such that we are empowered again in the matter of astonishment. I admire her work so much."
