Stewart O'Nan recommends

Again and Again (2023)
Jonathan Evison
"Who is Eugene Miles? Visigoth thief, prisoner, centenarian, slave, janitor, decorated Marine - even, for a life, Oscar Wilde's cat - or just a lonely old yarnspinner, a liar? Jonathan Evison's shapeshifting narrator may be stuck in a nowhere nursing home, yet he transports the reader to Seville under the Moors, Victorian London and every era of 20th century L.A. Spanning a thousand years and one timeless love, Again and Again is a fantastical tale of longing and regret, and maybe also a sneaky fable of both how fallible and how hopeful we can be."
thumb
Perpetual West (2022)
Mesha Maren
"With its corrupt world of maquiladoras and drug cartels, Mesha Maren's Juarez may seem familiar, but the truly dangerous borders her characters have to cross are within themselves. Perpetual West recalls no other novel so much as The Sheltering Sky, as its innocents cast aside their masks and surrender to more elemental truths."

A Little Hope (2021)
Ethan Joella
"A Little Hope is a sweet and tender take on small town heartbreak, where everybody hurts, and everybody finds some saving comfort, whether in the world or in one another."
