Pico Iyer recommends
thumb
Cloudthief (2026)
Nathaniel Rich
"Is any younger writer so versatile, talented and original as Nathaniel Rich? . . . Cloudthief is propulsive, precise and alive, the rare book that could instantly be made into a film though rich in knowledge, ideas and questions - and that gives me hope for literature."
thumb
The Suicide Museum (2023)
Ariel Dorfman
"A master storyteller uses the devices of fiction to shine a light on the mysteries of real life--and to push ever deeper into everything that haunts him: what a culminating gift from an essential spokesman for humanity and conscience."
thumb
Five Decembers (2021)
James Kestrel
"James Kestrel evokes the Hawaii, the Hong Kong and the Tokyo of the 1940s with an urgency, a vividness—a passion—few of us can have met before. Read this book for its palpitating story, its perfect emotional and physical detailing and, most of all, for its unforgettable conjuring of a steamy quicksilver world that will be new to almost every reader."
