Aube Rey Lescure recommends
Flashlight (2025)
Susan Choi
"A shapeshifting novel that reconfigures reality at every turn, Susan Choi's Flashlight is a powerful beam searching through the cavernous depths of alienation, of the cruel, fierce love binding a singular family, and the historical reverberations of unthinkable displacement and loss. With masterful control, Choi charts us through a journey that defies every expectation-its cumulative effect is epic, devastating, and incandescent."
Salutation Road (2025)
Salma Ibrahim
"A bold, intriguing act of imagination . . . Salutation Road confronts important questions about parallel existences splintered by immigration, the price of survival, and the ways migration and distance reshape blood ties and family."
Notes on Surviving the Fire (2025)
Christine Murphy
"A biting, savage, unflinching story of how the culture of sexual assault is systemically tolerated and tucked out of sight into the dark corners of ivory towers. Part campus satire, part murder mystery, and most importantly a tale of formidable survival, Notes on Surviving the Fire asks: who among us is a perpetrator, and how do we keep on living once we know? Christine Murphy writes with the nimbleness of a hunter: muscularly and with precision, while also propelled by undercurrents of cold, simmering fury and hot, big-hearted empathy."
