Tom McCarthy recommends

I Was the President's Mistress!! (2022)
Miguel Syjuco
"An urgent book, and a necessary one: a Tyrants Destroyed for the twenty-first century."

A Touch of Jen (2021)
Beth Morgan
"Touch of Jen is hipster noir, acerbic social parable and slasher gore-fest: as if Patricia Highsmith, Chris Kraus, and Ann Quin all crashed a Hamptons beach party, and John Carpenter dropped in with some weed."

Call Me Zebra (2018)
Azareen Van Der Vliet Oloomi
"Zebra is exile as education, history as passion, life as literature, and literature as death."
