My Documents (2025)
Kevin Nguyen
"Drawing from the past to portray a reality that feels terrifyingly possible, My Documents enthralls and unsettles with every page. This was a relentlessly propulsive read, by turns wry and wise, barbed with dark humor. Through one family's struggle to survive and speak truthfully about their experiences, the book lays bare how love, ambition, and ethics often muddle the story--and just how high the stakes are for getting it right."
Liquid (2025)
Mariam Rahmani
"Pleasures of nearly every variety abound in Mariam Rahmani's astonishing Liquid, a novel whose force seeps into the bloodstream, dilating thinking on desire and ambition, of the relations that entangle and unmake us, alongside the traces of unknowability that sustain. Pages erupt with blazing intelligence, pathos, and stringent wit. How rare it is to encounter this marriage of sociological richness with a poet's staggering feel for the capacity of language, its lush contours and bite. Traversing the streets of LA and Tehran with Rahmani at the wheel awakens sensations and appetites for which one has no name. Liquid is a potent, shimmering revelation, and Rahmani is a writer you proselytize for."
