Nick Arvin recommends

The Cafe with No Name (2025)
Robert Seethaler
"A masterful novel about work and love, connection and despair, how we carry one another, how we transcend the days and the indignities, and how no life is mundane... On page after page, Robert Seethaler's The Cafe with No Name strikes with the force of life."

All God's Children (2020)
Aaron Gwyn
"In his new book, Aaron Gwyn gives us a vivid and piercing depiction of America when it was young and expanding, and of the myriad cruelties and lies that it was built upon. All God’s Children is a page-turner, a tour de force, and a brilliantly savage novel that you will be reckoning with long after you have put it down."
