Pico Iyer recommends
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."

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."

The Buried Giant (2012)
Kazuo Ishiguro
"Completely astonishing. I can't think of another writer who keeps finding such new and radically unexpected ways of exploring—and deepening—his lifelong concerns. Which is a way of saying that I can't think of another writer who's so unswervingly serious, as well as impeccable, stripping away every distraction to get to the core of things, as a Beckett might, and attaining in the end an almost unbearable intensity of emotional directness."
