Daniel Torday recommends
Next Stop (2024)
Benjamin Resnick
"With the whimsy of Salinger, the humor of Vonnegut, and more than a little of the prophetic weirdness of Kafka, Next Stop is the rarest of gems: a novel made up of equal parts human intimacy and broad foresight. Benjamin Resnick's debut is a clarion call, a profound cosmic joke, a canary in the global coalmine, and a disconcerting work of art."
Necessary Deeds (2024)
Mark Wish
"Bursting at the seams with voice and tension, Mark Wish's Necessary Deeds reads like the literary lovechild of Bellow, Chandler and Robert Bolano. This is a literary page-turner, full of life and poetry. A novel to be devoured, then savored."
The Third Way (2022)
Aimee Hoben
"In this impressive first novel, Aimee Hoben provides a clear-eyed, propulsive, and morally complex look at the systems that vie to hold our country a corporate hostage. The Third Way's Arden Firth is as winning and knowable a character as I've encountered in some time. This is such a bold debut."
