Héctor Tobar recommends
God Went Like That (2023)
Yxta Maya Murray
"Yxta Maya Murray's writing is a gift, and in God Went Like That she is at the height of her powers. This tale of Southern California's long-hidden nuclear catastrophe is a deeply compassionate, intimate, and powerfully human work. With erudition, wit, wordplay, and an appropriate dose of outrage, Murray takes us on a dreamlike journey into lives turned upside down by the hubris of science. This is a beautiful and haunting book."
All the Secrets of the World (2022)
Steve Almond
"With one unexpected twist after another, Steve Almond pulls you into this wild and engrossing novel about family, scorpions, and the rules of attraction. In All the Secrets of the World he shrewdly dissects the social and emotional landscape of 1980s California and creates a true page-turner."
A Tiny Upward Shove (2022)
Melissa Chadburn
"A fiercely original, brave writer. Chadburn finds the lyrical and the deeply human in seemingly dark and impenetrable landscapes."
