Ada Calhoun recommends

Middle Spoon (2025)
Alejandro Varela
"What a rollicking delight! In capturing the pain of heartbreak through the lens of a neurotic narrator, Alejandro Varela asks provocative questions about the shape of family and the nature of love. Not only does he pull all that off, but he does it in the epistolary form while digressing into political theory, quantum entanglement, and gay nightlife; and proving frequently hilarious. A triple-axel of a novel."

The Unwanted (2025)
Boris Fishman
"Breathtakingly propulsive, sweeping in scope, and astoundingly timely, The Unwanted depicts the before, during, and after of a refugee family's terrifying flight from an unnamed war-torn region. With profound tenderness, the novel depicts its heroine's hard-fought triumph over brutality in a world teeming with broken people, nations, and promises."
