Michael Zapata recommends
Hush Harbor (2023)
Anise Vance
"At its fiery core, Hush Harbor is about the nearly unspeakable: a 21st century American Revolution. Through the harrowing story of its inconsolable, if beautiful and potent, rebels struggling in sanctuary against the violence of racial inequity, Anise Vance has revealed nothing less than the secret fears and tender solidarities that reside in our nation's troubled heart. Agile, electrifying, a singular reading experience."
Tropicalia (2023)
Harold Rogers
"In these vibrant and hypnotizing pages, Harold has given us so much pain, grace, and love that when I finished reading I called my parents just to hear their voices."
The Old Woman with the Knife (2022)
Gu Byeong-mo
"The Old Woman with the Knife is a deeply compassionate and rebellious novel. Thrilling and richly meditative, the novel excavates memory, modern life on the edge, and the absolute persistence of the self. With poetic grace, Gu Byeong-mo;s assassin transcends age, power, and the expectations of a society bent on erasing her."
