Jai Chakrabarti recommends
The Sea Elephants (2023)
Shastri Akella
"Akella's debut is a powerful exploration of what it means to seek love in uncertain times, against the demands of family, tradition, and state. Read this novel not only for its vibrant forbidden romance but also for its summoning of ancient mythology through street theater, where old myths find new ways to be reshaped."
Once We Were Home (2023)
Jennifer Rosner
"Rosner's new novel is about the ways we seek family despite the wounds we carry. The stories of her characters fit beautifully together like nesting boxes, building to become an ode to love in its many forms. A brave and ultimately life-affirming book."
Cyclorama (2022)
Adam Langer
"In this propulsive novel that explores the fallout of adolescent trauma, Langer evokes his vast array of characters with the deepest empathy and beautifully conjures Chicago in the 80's. Cyclorama is ambitious in its scope and does what all great art does: it helps us understand who we are as we struggle through this moment."
