The Curious Lives of Nonprofit Martyrs (2023)
George Singleton
"Please know that it is against my nature to fling the word 'genius' around like a sandlot football. I've used it maybe five times, and in all of those instances I applied it to composers, partly because I don't understand how they do what they do. Being a fiction writer, I understand all too well how we do what we do. But George Singleton is a genius, because he repeatedly manages to make me laugh, often uproariously, when my first impulse is to cry. How he accomplishes this feat is as mysterious to me as the twelve-tone music of, say, Arnold Schoenberg. But I know this: contemporary American literature - and I daresay the country itself - would be more vibrant if we had more writers like him. George Singleton is something perhaps even rarer than a genius. He's a treasure."
The Orchard (2022)
Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry
"Gorcheva-Newberry is among the most subtle and evocative writers I have read in many years. This novel is a gem, and its author is a major new voice in contemporary fiction. This may be the first time you've heard of her. But it will not be the last."
I Am My Beloveds (2022)
Jon Papernick
"I Am My Beloveds, Jon Papernick's latest novel, is about many things: love and the lack of it, the passage of time and, most importantly, how we live now. I am full of admiration for this writer and his daring imagination. He is a truly gifted novelist, and this is his finest book."
