Dan Sheehan recommends
Juno Loves Legs (2023)
Karl Geary
"A tender, wrenching portrait of two young outsiders searching for sanctuary in the bruised hearts of one another. Geary's exquisitely rendered Dublin is at times a bleak place, but that darkness is defiantly illuminated by the humor and humanity of his unforgettable protagonist. You will ache for Juno."
My Heart (2021)
Semezdin Mehmedinović
"One of the most endearingly ruminative, sweetly sorrowful short novels I have ever encountered. A quietly devastating portrait of grief and loss, the soul-ache of exile, and the sustaining power of familial love, My Heart broke mine."
