Paul Rudnick recommends
Interesting Facts about Space (2024)
Emily Austin
"Interesting Facts About Space is among other things, a vibrantly paranoid mystery and an unexpected love story. Emily Austin creates beguilingly eccentric characters, especially true crime addict and outer space encyclopedia Enid, who's both oddly confident and yearning to disappear. Interesting Facts About Space is highly original, engrossing and hauntingly entertaining."
Speech Team (2023)
Tim Murphy
"Speech Team is a page-turning pleasure, with a clear-eyed exploration of rediscovered friendships, the unruly passage of time and the extreme unlikeliness of ever truly growing up. Tim Murphy's writing is joyously specific and acerbically moving, with a deep affection for every sort of character. Readers will cherish this book."
