How to Leave the House (2024)
Nathan Newman
"How to Leave the House is gobby, barbed, and garrulous; a novel that takes swings, with swagger."
thumb
American Mermaid (2023)
Julia Langbein
"A salty, sleek and scheming satire, American Mermaid considers dangerous and alluring myths surrounding creative control, compromise and complicity. Told with a caricaturist's energy and dynamism, Langbein's layered narratives gleefully expose Hollywood's ritualized humiliations. Full of skewering, mischievous precision, it is a glittering, baited hook of a novel."
thumb
The End of Nightwork (2023)
Aidan Cottrell-Boyce
"Rapturous, disruptive and quietly, complexly devastating, The End of Nightwork combines satire, elegy and fantastic portraiture to thrilling effect. A myriad of tender, terrifyingcataclysms told with wit and true originality. A reckoning."
