William Giraldi recommends
No Way Home (2026)
T C Boyle
"No Way Home will be remembered as one of T. C. Boyle's most vividly rendered narratives, a concerto of malaise and stymied hope in a town spurned by progress, his people caged by the brutal fate of those far from grace. Boyle has added an enthralling cinematic beauty to an oeuvre unlike any other in American literature, a novel that is certain to endear him to those in a new generation of readers for whom reading well matters."
Stone Angels (2025)
Helena Rho
"Every now and then a first novel appears that enlarges and focuses your vista on the world. Helena Rho's Stone Angels also recalibrates what you know of daughters and mothers, sisters and aunts. In its fertile understanding of what deliverance means for lives cloaked in secrecy and shame, this book gets in between your ribs. Getting it out won't be possible. And you won't want it to be."
Sidle Creek (2023)
Jolene McIlwain
"Heir to the immortal ruralists of the American short story's halcyon era, Jolene McIlwain crafts fiction so close to the bone, with such an unflinching fearlessness of the soul's dark night, that she will restore your faith in what the short story can achieve in the hands of a born expert. Sidle Creek is a debut worthy of alignment with the best of Dorothy Allison and Daniel Woodrell."
