John Wray recommends
thumb
Eurotrash (2024)
Christian Kracht
"Christian Kracht began his storied career as Germanic literature's late-capitalist enfant terrible, then somehow-stealthily, almost magically-transformed himself into its conscience. Eurotrash is Thomas Bernhard's Extinction with a sense of humor."
thumb
Headshot (2024)
Rita Bullwinkel
"A luminously unsentimental, tour-de-force exploration of competition and its consequences-which is to say, of the America we all live in. Headshot is literature at its vital, primal best."

I Love You So Much it's Killing Us Both (2024)
Mariah Stovall
"Somehow, the best literature - the literature I live for - has always been punk, and Mariah Stovall's novel is a beautiful case in point. I Love You So Much It's Killing Us Both really shook me."
