James Morrow recommends
thumb
The Circumference of the World (2023)
Lavie Tidhar
"Ingeniously constructed and stylistically protean, this seven-course banquet of a novel glistens with the Golden Age of science fiction, even as it nourishes our neurons with a marvelous thought experiment."
thumb
Three Marys (2003)
Paul Park
"To the short list of successful New Testament extrapolations--a literature that includes Alain Absire's Lazarus, Jose Saramago's The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, and Nikos Kazantzakis's The Last Temptation of Christ--I would now add Three Marys."
thumb
My Father's Ghost (2002)
Suzy McKee Charnas
"...his daughter conveys each lesson with an unflinching eye, a knowing voice, and a forgiving heart."
