New and upcoming books
Rachel Lyon recommends
The Light Pirate (2022)
Lily Brooks-Dalton
"I read this book in a whirlwind, voracious as the hurricanes at its heart. Lily Brooks-Dalton writes with the kind of intricate sensitivity that leaves one grateful to be - faultily, flimsily, adaptably, temporarily - human. Harrowing, tender, and urgent, The Light Pirate is a novel of global scope and exquisite intimacy."
Restoration Heights (2019)
Wil Medearis
"Restoration Heights is many things: a thrilling whodunit, an unsentimental ode, and a nuanced portrait of a diverse cast of characters who live, breathe, play, and—most importantly—talk on the page with vitality. In Reddick, his painter protagonist, Wil Medearis has given us an unlikely Philip Marlowe of gentrifying Brooklyn. He navigates the city's labyrinthine power structures of class, race, and real estate with an artist's obsession for meaning-making. Restoration Heights is a contemporary story about a New York City so fresh you could leave a handprint in its concrete."
