Alejandro Zambra recommends
thumb
Napalm in the Heart (2024)
Pol Guasch
"Pol Guasch has crafted in his story a struggle for existence that never gives up on his characters' dreams. Napalm in the Heart challenges the boundaries between delicacy and brutality, creating an unforgettable novel in the process."
thumb
Life Is Everywhere (2022)
Lucy Ives
"Writing novels is the way Lucy Ives discovers her thoughts about the at once disheartening and marvelous fact of being alive right here, right now. This brilliant and playful novel brims with wisdom."
thumb
Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch (2021)
Rivka Galchen
"This jewel of a novel is as perturbing as it is hilarious. It's also a fundamental piece of history - particularly relevant for these times- written with Rivka’s unusual intelligence and her sharp eye for detail."
