Sofia Samatar recommends
Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart (2024)
GennaRose Nethercott
"All of you who love that strain of witty, wistful, enigmatic stories that runs from Kafka to Kelly Link: come read this book. GennaRose Nethercott draws from a magic well, bringing us tales that feel as old as time yet marvelously new."
Strange Labour (2020)
Robert G Penner
"A post-apocalyptic road novel with the gnomic quality of a parable, Strange Labour shimmers with a meaning just beyond reach."
Indelicacy (2020)
Amina Cain
"Indelicacy is a novel like the tolling of a great bell. It will move your heart. Amina Cain's writing is the rarest kind: it creates not only new scenes and characters, but new feelings."
