Terry Fallis recommends

Is This a Cry for Help? (2026)
Emily Austin
"Quirky, funny, and intense...A timely and thoughtful meditation that still simmers in my brainpan."

Jameela Green Ruins Everything (2022)
Zarqa Nawaz
"Nawaz is one of the few writers around who can deftly navigate that minefield between high-stakes, war-torn, geopolitical upheaval, and one woman's hilarious but meaningful journey to find her place in her family and community. Is it a searing satire on America's war on terror, or a side-splitting family adventure? Well . . . yes, it is, and a crazy ride, too. Funny, moving, brilliant."

The Swells (2022)
Will Aitken
"In The Swells, Will Aitken's brilliant new novel, the most luxurious cruise ship on the seas floats right-side up, but the passengers and crew are turned upside down. On board, a class mutiny yields an eviscerating yet hilarious reversal of fortunes and a stinging, darkly veiled satire that left me laughing and thinking long after I turned the last page."
