Zadie Smith recommends
Banal Nightmare (2024)
Halle Butler
"Halle Butler's Banal Nightmare will end summer with a bang. It's about turning thirty-seven and realizing you hate everybody you know. It's also about trying to become an adult while living in - and through - this unregulated, neoliberal, late-capitalist version of the internet with which we are presently saddled. . . . So funny, so smart, utterly vicious - just brilliant."
After the Funeral (2023)
Tessa Hadley
"I find Tessa Hadley's work genuinely helpful, especially when it comes to the big subjects: love and marriage, the political versus the personal, children, friendship. And then there are the sentences themselves, so precise and beautiful, often sly, sometimes devastating, always expertly paced. Few writers give me such consistent pleasure."
Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul? (2021)
Jesse McCarthy
"This is a very smart and soulful book. Jesse McCarthy is a terrific essayist."
