Joel Thomas Hynes recommends
Mud Lilies (2022)
Indra Ramayan
"Now and then a writer comes along who reawakens my lust for great, passionate, unadorned storytelling. Indra Ramayan is that writer. Mud Lilies is a beautifully executed, street-smart emotional tour de force that is destined to seduce generations of readers."
Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club (2019)
Megan Gail Coles
"No mistake, Megan Gail Coles is a driven, consequential writer who plays for keeps. Her seemingly off-the-cuff voice is controlled and quite intricate, and commands revisiting. Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club is as important a novel as any that’s hit Canadian literature in years."
