Vincent Lam recommends
These Memories Do Not Belong to Us (2025)
Yiming Ma
"Yiming Ma's stunning debut is deeply imaginative in its portrayal of a near-future dystopia, and profoundly humane in its exploration of memory and the stories that make us who we are."
High Society (2024)
Daniel Kalla
"High Society is both a gripping murder mystery and an exploration of psychedelics on the fringes of medicine. Daniel Kalla keeps you right on the edge of (your therapist's) chair!"
The Sea Between Two Shores (2023)
Tanis Rideout
"Her voice both intimate and wise, Tanis Rideout traverses the textures and echoes of grief, asking difficult and important questions: How does loss imprint itself upon our hearts? Can we find meaning through forgiveness? What is it to both respect our histories and write a future of integrity and compassion? Her language is poetic, her vision resonant. This book speaks powerfully to the challenges we all confront."
