Colson Whitehead recommends
Trance (2005)
Christopher Sorrentino
"TRANCE is a work of startling insight, marvelously and masterfully evoking the grim stuff of true American nightmares."
Displaced Persons (2010)
Ghita Schwarz
"A remarkable debut... A brave, brilliant, and haunting work of art."
The Ready-Made Thief (2017)
Augustus Rose
"In his highly addictive and multi-aceted first novel, Augustus Rose pits an irrepressible and gritty young heroine against a sinister group of fanatics. The Readymade Thief is a kickass debut from start to finish."
The Feral Detective (2018)
Jonathan Lethem
"A nimble and uncanny performance, brimming with Lethem's trademark verve and wit."
