Jenny Zhang recommends
thumb
Rejection (2024)
Tony Tulathimutte
"From the opening sentence of Rejection, I was cannonballed into the twisted, obscene, pleasurable world of pure genius. It's actually sick how Tony Tulathimutte has managed to make his prodigious, byzantine mind so compulsively readable and immaculately accessible, not to mention how, again and again, his deranged humor crosses over the threshold of the ordinary and into the astral realm. Read this book and you too will develop a fetish and taste for Tulathimutte's gift for satire and insight into the human condition. You'll never read a book like this again."

Outlawed (2021)
Anna North
"Outlawed flips the script on the beloved Western genre and gives us the iconic heroine-on-the-run we deserve. Anna North is a riveting storyteller . . . Reader, you are in for a real treat."

Drifts (2020)
Kate Zambreno
"Kate Zambreno's writing is mysterious, unclassifiable, and yet intimate and familiar too. Reading her is like looking through a kaleidoscope—the world is at once more beautiful and more terrifying."
