John Patrick McHugh recommends

Dodge City (2026)
Patrick deWitt
"Electric, funny, and brilliantly written: Dodge City is a road trip I wanted to stay on with a cast of characters I wanted to live with for many, many, many more pages. There is romance here, there is a quiet heart that will knock you sideways, there is a family that will make you queasy in all their complexities and realness."

Free Therapy (2024)
Rebecca Ivory
"Rebecca Ivory is a brutally honest and brilliant writer. Her stories are dark and unafraid, and are always told beautifully, shrewdly, stylishly. Oh, and she's very funny. Here is a collection that teems with compassion and curiosity for the little interactions and the little falls that make us who we are."

Nothing Special (2023)
Nicole Flattery
"Darkly funny, tender, smart as anything and riddled with the most wonderful sentences, Nothing Special is a superb debut novel from a superb writer. Nicole Flattery is in a league of her own."
