Dino Enrique Piacentini recommends
American Crow (2026)
Ryan Burruss
"An ambitious and mysterious novel about love, loss, and community, Ryan Burruss's American Crow digs beneath the troubled surface of a town haunted by the dark spectres of violence and war. Burruss is a tremendous talent - his prose sings and dances, throws off sparks, flashes out bolts of bright lightning. He skillfully digs into his many characters' hearts and minds with delicacy, insight, and a deep wellspring of empathy. What a terrific debut!"
