Winter Counts (2020)
David Heska Wanbli Weiden
"A stone-cold thriller with a soul and a politics--compelling and complex. A gripping crime story perfectly married to bigger questions about race and place and American violence."
You Would Have Told Me Not To (2020)
Christopher Coake
"Only Christopher Coake could have shown us so clearly the true range of the human heart, and infused these tales--centered on the relationships that both define and destroy us--with such yearning and dread. The stories collected here are contemporary and urgent and are classics of the form."
Crooked Hallelujah (2020)
Kelli Jo Ford
"Crooked Hallelujah is an intricate, soulful look at three generations of Cherokee women pushed (in Philip Larkin's phrase) to the side of their own lives. At turns gripping and moving, Kelli Jo Ford's characters and the Oklahoma and Texas landscape take center stage in a truly modern drama. Ford sidesteps the easy tropes of spirituality and connection to nature and has created a modern masterpiece peopled with complex, fully-realized characters. A huge achievement."
