Dan Kois recommends
Bird Life (2023)
Anna Smaill
"The two women at the center of Anna Smaill's lovely, disconcerting novel Bird Life feel certain something is about to happen-something that's about to change everything. These kinds of proclamations in a novel can feel unfulfillable, but when Dinah and Yasuko finally do meet, the transformations each affects upon the other are surprising, consuming, and satisfying. Smaill's crystalline prose brings us inside each of their minds as they maneuver through a thoroughly modern cityscape into which the natural world is forever making incursions. An unusual, empathetic, and compulsively readable tale."
