Sipsworth (2024)
Simon Van Booy
"I loved it!."
thumb
James (2024)
Percival Everett
"James is funny and horrifying, brilliant and riveting. In telling the story of Jim instead of Huckleberry Finn, Percival Everett delivers a powerful, necessary corrective to both literature and history. I found myself cheering both the writer and his hero. Who should read this book? Every single person in the country."
thumb
Absolution (2023)
Alice McDermott
"Alice McDermott has always been one of our greatest writers but here she exceeds every expectation. Absolution is one of the finest contemporary novels I've read. It is a moral masterpiece."
