Gingko Season (2025)
Naomi Xu Elegant
"A deeply funny portrayal of young adulthood's most classic anxieties. Naomi Xu Elegant nails the earnest confusion of one's mid-twenties as told through the modern parlance of situationships, ethical altruism, and diasporic angst. This is a novel interested in dissecting the feeling of feelings--and wondering aloud about the grace of living a so-called small life."
