Superfan (2026)
Jenny Tinghui Zhang
"Breathtaking and heartfelt, Superfan is a cosmic collision of two fractured lives pulled into each other's orbit through an astonishing series of events. With an eye for both the personal and the universal, Zhang reveals how the past and present versions of ourselves can never be outrun-with consequences as devastating as they are redemptive. Superfan doesn't just redefine the fan-star relationship, it explodes it from the inside out."
Dead in Long Beach, California (2024)
Venita Blackburn
"A prismatic, genre-defying novel where the past is layered over the present and where grief takes on a life of its own. With dazzling dark humor, Venita Blackburn captures the awful and wonderful strangeness of what it means to be alive in the twenty-first century. Dead in Long Beach, California is achingly honest, always surprising and unlike anything I've read before."
Sea Change (2023)
Gina Chung
"Sea Change tugged at my heart and refused to let go. With tenderness and perceptiveness, Chung deftly navigates family, loss, friendship and the intricacies of love, especially for ourselves. Between giant Pacific octopuses and humans, this remarkable debut reminds us that we are not so different - all of us hoping to be witnessed, all of us striving to surface through our loneliness to connect, even when we know nothing is permanent."
