Louise Nealon recommends
Young Women (2022)
Jessica Moor
"Utterly engrossing. With Young Women, Jessica Moor has moved the #Metoo conversation from the divisive platform of Twitter to the empathetic realm of fiction - and I am here for it."
None of This Is Serious (2022)
Catherine Prasifka
"I inhaled None of This Is Serious. I've been waiting for a fictional story that reflects the all-consuming influence that the Internet has on my life. None of This Is Serious is that story. A compulsively readable, fresh and painfully accurate description of the way we live now. Don't let the title fool you. It is serious. Seriously good."
How to Gut a Fish (2022)
Sheila Armstrong
"Do you know when you read a sentence that is so good, it does weird things to your insides? You kind of shudder with satisfaction and hope for more. Well, I am addicted to good sentences, and Sheila Armstrong is my dealer. The stories in How to Gut a Fish are gorgeously weird, inspiring curiosity both on and off the page. If you're anything like me, they will send you into a fit of ferocious googling: What is star jelly? How old is the moon? The story titles are works of art in themselves. This is the good stuff. Hook it to my veins."
