Jenny Tinghui Zhang recommends

Tailbone (2026)
Che Yeun
"With sharp and arresting prose, Che Yeun's Tailbone fearlessly examines a South Korea on the brink of economic collapse. A haunting, unforgettable story about survival in all its forms."

Bog Queen (2025)
Anna North
"With rich, elegiac prose, Anna North's Bog Queen travels between modern day England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe to ask what we owe the past, the earth, and ultimately, each other. A book of magic and healing."

Underspin (2025)
E Y Zhao
"E. Y. Zhao's Underspin hurtles down the line and leaves a trail of fire in its wake. An electric debut."
