Loved One (2025)
Aisha Muharrar
"Loved One shimmers with wit even as it explores deep loss. What does it mean to love and lose? How do we undo - and make - each other? Aisha Muharrar asks enduring questions while acknowledging how funny they can be, too. This is a book I will be pressing, urgently, into the hands of my own loved ones."

What Kind of Paradise (2025)
Janelle Brown
"What Kind of Paradise is a twisty, sharp coming-of-age story for our strange techno-utopian times. It brims with suspense and family secrets, all while asking big questions about the cost of progress."

Awake in the Floating City (2025)
Susanna Kwan
"Awake in the Floating City is an astonishing work of art, rich with attention, patience, and love: the rare elegy that hums with hope, and makes the strongest case I've ever read for remembering the people and places that matter to us. Kwan's prose pulses with uncommon attention to the natural world, attuned to both its beauty and devastation. This is the kind of book that changes you, that leaves you seeing more vividly, and living more fully, in its wake."
