The Dimensions of a Cave (2023)
Greg Jackson
"Greg Jackson's Dimensions of a Cave is, sentence to sentence, a linguistic marvel, a genre-bending tale with moral and philosophical stakes as profound as they come."
The History of a Difficult Child (2023)
Mihret Sibhat
"Mihret Sibhat's beautifully rendered first novel, The History of A Difficult Child, is as rich and complicated as they come - a novel that delves fearlessly, with so much grace and compassion, into the most essential corners of our lives, the ones where family, politics, culture, and love are inextricably intertwined."
When Me and God Were Little (2022)
Mads Nygaard
"When Me and God Were Little by Mads Nygaard is a haunting, eloquent novel--a book that manages to subtly balance the precious surprise of childhood with an ironic wit and flashes of tragedy. Reading it, I was reminded of John Berger's brilliant Into Their Labors trilogy. This is a literary novel that deserves to be read and admired."
