Alexandra Tanner recommends
The Responsible Party (2026)
Claire Carusillo
"Claire Carusillo is the funniest person alive, and her ancestresses are the funniest people dead, and The Responsible Party is better than perfect: a raucous, astonishingly original novel about ambition, legacy, and the plight of womankind written with unmatched tenacity and bombastic glee. All at once grand and fearless and intimate and precise, this is a symphony and a major debut. I've never read anything like it."
Lonely Crowds (2025)
Stephanie Wambugu
"Lonely Crowds is an artist's novel of uncommon elegance - a singular portrait of love and guilt and envy, self-discovery and self-deception, struck through with blazing need. Stephanie Wambugu writes with a clerestoried brilliance that throws striking light and strange shadows across her unforgettable narrator Ruth's traversals of youth, schooling, and becoming. A sensation."
Bad Nature (2025)
Ariel Courage
"Bad Nature is a rare gift; an audacious, insane, and relentlessly American first novel. Ariel Courage casts halogenic light upon the only question still worth considering in these, the earliest days of our extinction: What are we to do with our wretched time left? A propulsive, often terrifying remaking, through gray-eyed and perfect metaphor, of the nihilist manifesto, the road-trip tale, and the revenge plot-all, stunningly, at once."
