Rabih Alameddine recommends
Blackouts (2023)
Justin Torres
"Blackouts is a manifesto and a masterwork-an enthralling, dazzling feat of literary bravura. Justin Torres is the real thing."
Loot (2023)
Tania James
"A luminous novel of history that explores the far reaches of empire and of human desire, of love, greed, betrayal, and possible redemption. In this genuine page-turner, Tania James does the seemingly impossible: not only does she breathe life into charismatic characters, she repeats the feat with automatons, for crying out loud. Tipu's Tiger might be a stolen artifact in a British museum, but you can hear its roar in these pages. Loot is a historical story that bristles with contemporary urgency."
In the Time of Our History (2023)
Susanne Pari
"In the Time of Our History provides a kaleidoscopic look at what it means to be an Iranian-American, what it means to be an American--what it means to be human. Susanne Pari has written a wonderful story that is both unique and universal, a must-read tile in the new mosaic of American novels."
