Pan (2025)
Michael Clune
"No one writes like Michael Clune. His uncanny ability to fuse the universal with the arcane breaks new ground for the bildungsroman in Pan, where he dexterously stacks up spinning plates until, before you know it, there's nothing left but changeling magic. I didn't want the book to end, and I'm still trying to figure out how it transformed the inscrutable doom of adolescence into a symphonic odyssey with style to spare."
South (2023)
Babak Lakghomi
"Disguised as a high concept page-turner akin to Enrique Vila-Matas and Paul Auster, Babak Lakghomi's slyly subversive and uncanny novel, South, is pure sublime. Packed full of complex silence, sex, deceit, erasure, captivity, dreamlife, memory, and yes, despair, it wastes no syllable while wading neck-deep into its own conspiracy, remembering just in time to come back up for air where others drown."
One's Company (2022)
Ashley Hutson
"Like some uncanny hybrid of Tom McCarthy, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Mulholland Drive, Ashley Hutson's high concept black comedy, One's Company, packs deranged laughs against deep trauma in a no-holds-barred debut. Surreal, ambitious, and page-turning, the painful memory performance of Bonnie Lincoln's wish to live forever in a sitcom might be more realistic than the realism we think we know."
