Down Time (2026)
Andrew Martin
"Down Time is a beautiful, weird, pervy, funny novel about everything that happens when it feels like nothing is happening. Andrew Martin has managed to capture the simultaneously absurd and moving nature of the present. So many moments made me laugh out loud while also thinking 'my god, this is so sad.' I loved this book!"

A Good Happy Girl (2024)
Marissa Higgins
"Sometimes I could not believe how easily this book moved from gross-out sadism into genuine sympathy. Totally surprising, totally compelling. I loved it."

Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind (2023)
Molly McGhee
"In the light of this insightfully nightmarish parable of the pervasive ravages of debt, Abernathy's optimism, and the serene pace of McGhee's prose, are stone cold chilling."
