Katharine Beutner recommends
Summerhouse (2025)
Yiğit Karaahmet
"With flair, Summerhouse skewers the supposed safety of the closet and the faux tolerance of wealthy Turkish society, serving up a pair of elder-queer antiheroes whose passions are as ungovernable as their taste is exquisite. I loved this bleakly funny thriller!"
The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye (2024)
Briony Cameron
"Briony Cameron's debut - a vivid account of legendary figure Jacquotte Delahaye, shipwright turned pirate of the Caribbean, and her lawbreaking chosen family - is gritty, exciting, and tender. I loved the novel's focus on queer joy in a rough world!"
Medea (2024)
Eilish Quin
"For centuries Medea has been caricatured as an unnatural mother or treated as a cautionary figure-- Eilish Quin's unflinching novel gives her voice and vividly dramatizes the cost and power of her agonizing choices."
