Denial (2022)
Jon Raymond
"What if we took the climate crisis seriously enough to punish its worst perpetrators? Denial is a thrilling ride into a near future where corporate villains are being brought to justice, but the justice is complicated--and so are some of the villains. Jon Raymond is a deft, sharp, exhilarating storyteller whose gift is to make us laugh even as he's asking dead-serious questions about our collective peril."
The School for Good Mothers (2021)
Jessamine Chan
"This taut, explosive novel is all the more terrifying because it edges so close to reality. With the story of one woman struggling to get her daughter back, Jessamine Chan spotlights the punishing scrutiny and judgment aimed at mothers everywhere - especially those who aren't wealthy or white. Frida's predicament embodies the fraught question so many women are taught to ask: Am I good enough?"
Boys of Alabama (2020)
Genevieve Hudson
"Boys of Alabama brilliantly reinvents the Southern Gothic... An absolutely magical novel."
