Jonathan Lethem recommends

How to Make a Bomb (2024)
Rupert Thomson
"I devoured [this book] in a single sitting. The sense of dislocation - and location - made it seem like a dream of another life, all of it so lyrical and yet narratively acute. A wonderful achievement."
thumb
James (2024)
Percival Everett
"Percival Everett is an audacious, beguiling American master, whose wild trajectory has reached astonishing highs in the past decade. Now comes James, which enlists and devours not only Mark Twain's novel but aspects of Melville, Ellison, and even Kafka to makes an irrevocable intervention into the canon. Everett is simply playing this game at a higher level, and it is the most serious game imaginable."
thumb
Headshot (2024)
Rita Bullwinkel
"As blazing and distinctive a performance as I've beheld in a long while. Bullwinkel's figurative language is tethered at one end to the distant galaxies, at the other to the cellular structure of her young fighters' bodies. Whole lives are strung between. I'm amazed."
