Richard Ford recommends
Wolf at the Table (2024)
Adam Rapp
"Wolf at the Table is a masterful novel - strange and affecting, and immersive reading. Adam Rapp peers into the dark heart of America with shrewd and eerie grace, the likes of which I have not encountered since Kosinski."
The Midcoast (2022)
Adam White
"In deft, knowing, and crystalline prose, Adam White writes, in essence, the novel about the Maine coast."
Mercy Street (2022)
Jennifer Haigh
"Mercy Street is a savvy, keen-eyed, witty, wise, and altogether luminous novel. A triumph. Jennifer Haigh is a young master of this form. Though, at day's end, I'd read her just to read her."
