Sally Rooney recommends

The Topeka School (2019)
Ben Lerner
"The Topeka School is a novel of exhilarating intellectual inquiry, penetrating social insight and deep psychological sensitivity. At every turn, its beautifully realised characters are shaped, even in the privacy of their inner lives, by the pressures of history and culture this is a book not only about how things really feel, but what things really mean. To the extent that we can speak of a future at present, I think the future of the novel is here."

No One Is Talking About This (2021)
Patricia Lockwood
"I really admire and love this book. Patricia Lockwood is a completely singular talent and this is her best, funniest, weirdest, most affecting work yet."

Homesickness (2022)
Colin Barrett
"A mesmerisingly powerful book, full of the strangeness and beauty of life."

Reward System (2022)
Jem Calder
"Reward System is an exhilarating and beautiful book by an extraordinarily gifted writer. Reading these stories, I found myself thinking newly and differently about contemporary life."
