Sheri Reynolds recommends
All the Ruined Men (2022)
Bill Glose
"In this collection, Bill Glose hinges the traumas of war to everyday events: playing poker, hosting a party, digging a pool. All the Ruined Men is an impressive debut from a seasoned storyteller who understands nuance and character and how memory abides inside every present moment. These stories are brutal, disarming, tender, and wrenching. They are also very well-written - lyrical, yet understated - harrowing, piercing, fierce."
The Teachers' Room (2022)
Lydia Stryk
"It's 1963, and in her first year in the classroom, Karen Murphy is 'a little too brave,' and not just with her students. The lessons she teaches are often quite different from the lessons she intends or the ones that she has learned. In this fast-moving, vibrant, funny, and wrenching story, Lydia Stryk brings her expert understanding of timing and dramatic tension to fiction, creating a novel that's at once a mystery, a love story, and a history lesson."
