Gregory Maguire recommends
Psyche and Eros (2023)
Luna McNamara
"Psyche and Eros refigures for our times a classic tale of disguise and revelation, of improbable passion tested by fate. Myth itself has many guises, and in Luna McNamara's poetic and nervy retelling we get a new glimpse of how love strengthens perception and perception, love."
Big Tree (2023)
Brian Selznick
"A labor of love-no, of passion-for the world and all the life it supports, Brian Selznick's Big Tree spreads its storytelling canopy to cover all of us. We're implicated, we're honored. We're family."
