Ryan Chapman recommends
Where You Come From (2021)
Saša Stanišić
"A Speak, Memory for 'The Garden of Forking Paths,' Stanisic's tour of his lost homeland is imbued with wit and affection. He knows stories are all we have, and that some stories can't be bound by a single ending. A marvel and a delight."
The Adventures and Misadventures of the Extraordinary and Admirable Joan Orpi, Conquistador and Founder of New Catalonia (2021)
Max Besora
"If Cervantes and the Monty Python guys were shoved into the Large Hadron Collider—and Earth didn’t explode—we might get something like Joan Orpí. How lucky are we to be alive! And to have Max Besora!"
New Waves (2020)
Kevin Nguyen
"New Waves is not one novel, but several: an acerbic portrait of startup culture, a circa-now account of twentysomething life in New York City, a moving exploration of grief, and a clear-eyed appraisal of race, sex, and privilege. Nguyen deserves our loudest applause."
