Eimear McBride recommends

Before All the World (2022)
Moriel Rothman-Zecher
"Evocative, inventive, vivid, and strange, Before All the World is a mesmeric, enrapturing read."

Intimacies (2021)
Lucy Caldwell
"Beautifully crafted."

God's Teeth and Other Phenomena (2020)
James Kelman
"God's Teeth and Other Phenomena is electric. Forget all the rubbish you've been told about how to write, the requirements of the marketplace and the much vaunted 'readability' that is supposed to be sacrosanct. This is a book about how art gets made, its murky, obsessive, unedifying demands and the endless, sometimes hilarious, humiliations literary life inflicts on even its most successful names."
