Days of Light (2025) Megan Hunter "Megan Hunter is a writer of liquid, incandescent prose. Days of Light is a singular novel about art and loss, love and violence, God and mystery. I've always been a fan of Hunter's work, and this is her best book yet."
Cat Brushing (2022) Jane Campbell "Jane Campbell is a wonder! It's her clear-eyed vision, rendered in prose as crisp as bone china, that had me rapt. This book flings open a heretofore shuttered window, giving us an invigoratingly fresh and absolutely essential view of the psychology and emotions and appetites of aging women. Jane Campbell, where have you been? We've needed you for a very, very long time."
Tides (2022) Sara Freeman "I read Tides in two voracious sittings, thrilled by the push-pull of Sara Freeman's prose: the tightly-controlled surface lyricism barely containing the violent upheaval beneath. Freeman inhabits the mind of her nearly-unhinged narrator so fully that the reader comes to understand -- and even identify with -- the sometimes twisted logic of grief and unmet longing. Who are we, as women, apart from the ones we love, or try to love? A beautiful, painfully prescient debut from a wildly talented new writer."
Creative Types (2021) Tom Bissell "Tom Bissell writes like some kind of wicked angel. Here are transgressively funny stories about writers and actors, cocaine and art, escorts and threesomes, religion and apostasy, all rendered in sentences so exquisite they make me blush with holy envy. I’ve read and admired Bissell's work for years, but Creative Types might be his best book yet."
