What It's Like in Words (2024)
Eliza Moss
"What It's Like in Words is a consuming portrait of a young woman building and rebuilding herself from the wreckage of her past lives. Eliza Moss masterfully renders how it feels to be ruled by grief and toxic obsession, and what it takes to break out of a prison of your own making. Devastating and tender, What It's Like in Words is a love letter to friendship, art-making, and the messiest parts of ourselves."
Olive Days (2024)
Jessica Elisheva Emerson
"Olive Days is a lush and intoxicating Los Angeles daydream. Emerson is the real deal--a stylist whose every sentence captures how it feels to be alive, to be in love, to live in the aching distance between who you want to be and who you are."
Please Stop Trying to Leave Me (2024)
Alana Saab
"Please Stop Trying to Leave Me is an electric, delirious novel about how art-making, romantic partnership, and trauma make fractals of the self. Alana Saab is an intoxicating stylist, pulling off a heady and meta debut that feels like clawing your way out of the belly of some monster, rib by rib, only to find that the monster is you. Deadpan and tender, Please Stop Trying to Leave Me is a must-read for anyone who has ever white-knuckled their way through the wilderness of their own mind (it me)."
