Jean Chen Ho recommends
The Emperor and the Endless Palace (2024)
Justinian Huang
"The Emperor and the Endless Palace is the story of an iconic queer romance that transcends time and defies fate; it is, moreover, an exuberant celebration of beautiful Asian men across eons. Sultry, irreverent, and thoroughly entertaining - I couldn't put it down! Justinian Huang is a brilliantly imaginative storyteller, and his debut novel announces a bold literary voice for the ages."
Holler, Child (2023)
LaToya Watkins
"LaToya Watkins is a singular and fearless storyteller. She writes masterfully about moments of terrible, impossible choice, when everything that makes life worth living is on the line. These are intimate, richly textured portraits of West Texas life, full of longing and tenderness, inevitably tethered to betrayal and heartache. Every story in Holler, Child will confront you - heart, mind, and soul - and hold you, in its deep beauty. You won't be the same after reading this extraordinary book!"
All-Night Pharmacy (2023)
Ruth Madievsky
"All-Night Pharmacy dances on the knife's edge of a sister's fierce love and the necessary loneliness of claiming your own destiny. Wry and tender, Ruth Madievsky's novel offers a sensitive portrayal of addiction and recovery, queer romance, and fraught family dynamics. A beautiful book and healing read, from beginning to end."
