Ed Lin recommends
Strip Rules (2026)
Martin Limón
"God bless Martin Limon for reinstating gambling as one of America's great vices. Strip Rules' menagerie of card cheats, ex-military wing nuts, and connivers manages to mark a win for humanity. Limon's latest is more fun than cheating at solitaire, and with a bigger payoff. Strip Rules has it all in spades."
The Fourth Daughter (2025)
Lyn Liao Butler
"Taiwan is a small country, but its history and culture stretch across the entire world. Butler beautifully details the hopes of its people, who are sometimes powerless in the face of unrelenting authority and misfortune, but never defeated."
The Apology (2023)
Jimin Han
"In The Apology, Jimin Han deftly threads a comedic line through a multigenerational family chock full of grievances and perceived slights. The impudent yet vulnerable narrator Jeonga shows us something she'd never reveal to her sisters: her pain and her joy. She'll fight to the death - and beyond - to do what she thinks is right, and she'll win the hearts of readers while doing so."
