John Wray recommends
Headshot (2024)
Rita Bullwinkel
"A luminously unsentimental, tour-de-force exploration of competition and its consequences-which is to say, of the America we all live in. Headshot is literature at its vital, primal best."
I Love You So Much it's Killing Us Both (2024)
Mariah Stovall
"Somehow, the best literature - the literature I live for - has always been punk, and Mariah Stovall's novel is a beautiful case in point. I Love You So Much It's Killing Us Both really shook me."
Cross-Stitch (2023)
Jazmina Barrera
"Never has a novel about friendship rung truer to me than this one. This is literary art at its most insightful, most tender, most wise. Cross-Stitch is a soft-spoken, hyper-articulate masterpiece."
