Jennifer Croft recommends
The Obsessed (2026)
Lizzie Buehler
"In this impressive debut, Lizzie Buehler chronicles obsessions - literary, romantic, as well as those that don't fall into easy categories - with so much honesty and charm the reader almost forgets to be staggered by her intellect, her wide-ranging ideas and expertise on languages and literary cultures. The Obsessed is enjoyable, relatable, and filled with things to obsess over long after the novel is over."
Kitten (2026)
Stacey Yu
"Exquisitely constructed . . . I was completely unable to resist reading it in one sitting."
The Jaguar's Roar (2025)
Micheliny Verunschk
"A remarkable project. Juliana Barbassa's translation is profoundly thoughtful, brilliantly bold, and brimming with hope and fellow feeling."
