Luke Kennard recommends

My First Book (2024)
Honor Levy
"Levy negotiates the great wave of information overload with a deceptively effortless grace... So funny and sharp, the kind of characters you either want to scream at or buy a drink... Beautifully, intoxicatingly written, and somehow so knowing that it comes full circle to a hard-won wisdom and compassion. Exhilarating, and as significant a definition of a cultural era and its disaffected main players as Generation X was in its time."

Hourglass (2022)
Keiran Goddard
"Shockingly intimate and devastatingly funny, bleak and true."

Dead Souls (2021)
Sam Riviere
"Beautiful, intricately humane, and gut-wrenchingly funny; not so much cynical as a ruthless vivisection of cynicism itself. Reading Dead Souls feels like discovering the British Bolaño, and not just for the gleeful dismantling of the cultural ego: the restless, searching sensibility; the precise tuning-in to contradictory voices. I haven't been so excited by a debut novel in a long time."
