Gish Jen recommends
The Phoenix Pencil Company (2025)
Allison King
"China, America, generations, and stories connect with literal magic in this suspenseful debut. Marvellous!"
Off the Books (2024)
Soma Mei Sheng Frazier
"What an improbable page-turner! Suspenseful and political, OFF THE BOOKS proves deeply compassionate as well. A real pleasure."
Leaving (2024)
Roxana Robinson
"If to the combustible elements of passion, honor, love, and art, you add the complexities of modern parenting, you get the conflagration that is Leaving. Compelling, heart-stopping, and all too believable, this is a marvelous read."
