The Mind Reels (2025)
Fredrik deBoer
"Fredrik deBoer's The Mind Reels is that rarest of things: a novel that is genuinely important. So much fiction is forgettable because fundamentally it's powered by nothing more compelling than platitudes and conventional wisdom of the day. In contrast, deBoer delivers truths about mental illness that many of us may find both surprising and haunting. That he does this in the context of a novel that is beautifully written, character-driven and pulsing with forward momentum makes it a real artistic achievement as well as an intellectual one."

Loved One (2025)
Aisha Muharrar
"Warm-hearted, funny, and written with style and panache, Loved One is both wise and a pleasure to read. I tore through it, from page one until its moving final pages. A terrific novel."

The Book of George (2024)
Kate Greathead
"The Book of George is not only an excellent novel, it's also one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. Engaging from the first page, it nevertheless gains momentum as it progresses, deftly building toward something larger and unexpected, a portrait of a character-and to an extent a generation-that's as convincing as it is moving."
