Tess Gunty recommends
Swallows (2025)
Natsuo Kirino
"Frank, tender, expansive, and radically embodied, Swallows explores the forces that permit some people to exchange resources for freedom and oblige others to exchange freedom for resources. Luminous."
Universality (2025)
Natasha Brown
"In what is proving to be her signature architecture - a compact, cunning design of secret passageways - Brown immerses the reader in a house of haunted language. Fixing its attention on the cultural mutations of the extraction economy, Universality implicates everyone and condemns no one. I emerged from this novel with the conviction that the murder victim Brown is here to avenge is discourse itself. . . . Original, vital, and unputdownable."
Blue Light Hours (2024)
Bruna Dantas Lobato
"Blue Light Hours is a spellbinding meditation on distance and intimacy, holding close and letting go. In attentive linguistic brush strokes, Bruna Dantas Lobato offers a tender and dynamic portrait of the mutual care between a mother and a daughter as they navigate life apart. Resplendent."
