Christine Schutt recommends
thumb
Great Disasters (2025)
Grady Chambers
"Grady Chambers, poet, has written a tender, beautifully observed debut novel, an empathic recollection of becoming, of love and what it is made of. In Chambers' kind voice is wonder at it all. Great Disasters is great fiction."
thumb
Crown (2025)
Evanthia Bromiley
"Beautifully written and quietly forceful, Evanthia Bromiley's debut novel, Crown, shines with compassion for all of its characters in their perilous conditions. They fashion from the landscape what is missing. They dream homes and wear small crowns 'woven of juniper and wild oak and the spare things of the desert.' Bromiley's book is concise and musical, and she has the heart of a poet."

A Flaw in the Design (2023)
Nathan Oates
"This suspenseful debut novel keeps the reader on tenterhooks in a fearful family drama. Oh, this demands a sequel!"
