Sarah Manguso recommends
My Nemesis (2023)
Charmaine Craig
"[A] sly, seething novel...It lays bare the horror of what husbands and wives expect of each other. My Nemesis is a pearl cultivated in justified rage. I loved it."
The Means (2022)
Amy Fusselman
"This charming novel bears the Fusselman touch that makes all of her books so brilliant: touching, uncanny, and deceptively simple observations that dismantle complex assumptions about the world."
Mouth to Mouth (2022)
Antoine Wilson
"Antoine Wilson has written a spellbinding novel of laserlike insight and exquisite technique that reveals how stories can function to conceal other stories. I read this book in one rapturous sitting, jotting down line after line, riveted until the final shocking, clarifying sentence."
