Deb Olin Unferth recommends
The Tortoise's Tale (2025)
Kendra Coulter
"ou'd have to be a rock not to be profoundly moved by the voice of this gentle tortoise and the multi-species community she cares for. This book is powerful, urgent, important, a new kind of story for a crazy century - and with one of the most evocative and haunting endings I've ever read. Gorgeous, and exactly what we need. I'd follow this tortoise and this author anywhere."
The Devil is a Southpaw (2025)
Brandon Hobson
"Hobson has never been more brilliant, more transcendent, more in touch with the beating human spirit, than he is in The Devil is a Southpaw. No other writer is so continuously reinventing the novel, weaving together Cherokee myth, rock and roll, the supernatural, and his own first published paintings. Perhaps his best novel yet, which is really saying something."
Dwelling (2025)
Emily Hunt Kivel
"Dwelling is a stunner of a novel. A new take on a classic Alice: humble seeker roving the dream map of our broken world, in search of a better one. This story is brave enough, joyous enough, and has the brilliance and heart of giants, that it already feels like the best new novel of the year."
