Heidi Julavits recommends

Nymph (2026)
Sofia Montrone
"Montrone's prose is polished, economic, swift, smart, spiritual. Nymph shows that a book is not defined by its subject matter. It's a transcendent work of intelligence that is also a transcendent work of the senses."

Liquid (2025)
Mariam Rahmani
"Brainy, swift, naughty, constantly surprising, and slyly political-a transgressive tour de force of cultural criticism hidden inside a careening, and deftly comic, logic proof of love."

Elegy, Southwest (2025)
Madeleine Watts
"Watts's strikingly brilliant novel is a measured fever dream of loneliness - private, political, razor-smart, and utterly engulfing. Watts is a prescient tour guide to human frailty, and to the climate apocalypse, and her voice is one we will most want to listen to, as people and landscapes collide with greater and great frequency and force."
