Xiaolu Guo recommends
The Rouse (2026)
China Miéville
"A richly immersive, sweeping vision of twentieth-century London, capturing the city in all its colours and sounds . . . Every page feels alive."
Vaim (2025)
(Vaim Trilogy, book 1)
Jon Fosse
"Reading Jon Fosse is always a curious and wondrous experience. Vaim is no exception: it ferries the reader along the stream of the 'ordinary mind,' from which suddenly shines forth a luminous beyond."
The Four Spent the Day Together (2025)
Chris Kraus
"Excellent retelling of an American nightmare with its unique Chris Kraus prose: sharp, bold, fast paced and piercingly direct. The Four Spent The Day Together will be a great read for anyone who is passionate about understanding the complexity of marginal lives and the danger of living on the edge."
