The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore (2011)
Benjamin Hale
"An enormous, glorious rattlebag of a book... a yelping, bouncing, pleading, longing, lost, loony, bleeding, pleading, laughing, beseeching wonder."

When We Lost Our Heads (2022)
Heather O'Neill
"I am struggling to say how much I loved this book - It is a beautiful, alarming, outraged, outrageous, dancing, laughing, shrieking, bellowing, howling, gobbling piece of wonder. What a joy!"

Saint Sebastian's Abyss (2022)
Mark Haber
"What a wonderful, short shock of a novel this is. A superb exploration of friendship and enmity through a single painting of a long-dead and exquisitely imagined artist. An amazing meditation on life, loss, meaning, and suffocation. Funny, dark, strange, gothic, and beautiful--an extraordinary journey through three broken lives."
