Television (2025)
Lauren Rothery
"Television is a rare thing: a work of formal ingenuity that dismantles the narrative constraints of celebrity, memory, and media. Even as its characters grapple with artifice - in love, in the performances of self - the novel is plangent. It is an actor's monologue and a biographer's aside, a love letter and a critique of attention. In other words, this is a novel as strange, seductive, and inescapable as film itself."

The Book of Ayn (2023)
Lexi Freiman
"A maddening panorama of contemporary concerns, The Book of Ayn locks the dignified and the insouciant in hysterical alignment. Freiman is a writer of startling vision and verbal resource who deepens and subverts our cultural memory. Every sentence is liberating."
