An Yu recommends
Like Me (2022)
Hayley Phelan
"Hayley Phelan's Like Me is a raw and electrifying study of the mind, the body and what can happen when one loses control over the other. It is a fever dream - a horror story - that sits far too comfortably in our reality."
The Woman in the Purple Skirt (2021)
Natsuko Imamura
"The Woman in the Purple Skirt expertly balances the mundane and the extraordinary, never swerving too far toward one side. With clinical prose and a wry sense of humor, Imamura shows us that the most powerful portrayal of loneliness is through not the self, but the projection of the self onto another."
