Hanya Yanagihara recommends

Havoc (2024)
Christopher Bollen
"A lot of books claim to be Highsmithian, but this one actually is: A highly readable, twisty, and shrewd satire presenting as a thriller about entitlement, loneliness, jealousy, and the eternal friction between the young and old. Utterly enjoyable."

Mrs Osmond (2017)
John Banville
"Banville is one of the writers I admire the most - few people can create an image as beautifully or precisely."

Stephen Florida (2017)
Gabe Habash
"This is a shape-shifter of a book, both a dark ode to the mysteries and landscapes of the American West and a complex and convincing character study."
