Agnes Lives! (2026)
Hallie Elizabeth Newton
"The closest I've ever been to the world of this novel was when I used to use the ladies room at Bergdorf's, which was on a high floor but right next to the elevator. It took me serious acclimation to settle in, as if it were one of those science fiction novels full of invented common nouns. Then it took off, like a runaway stagecoach pulled by the four horsemen of the apocalypse. When I realized what its metafictional project was--not to kill off Agnes, though there's nothing she wants more--I wanted to write Newton a fan letter. Agnes Lives! is a tale of suspense, a statement, a cry for help, and a delicious tour-de-force of the higher consumerist sleaze porn morass."
Ruth (2025)
Kate Riley
"A detailed, delicate study of how character is formed by collision with so many sharp corners that they form a perfect circle - how we entrap ourselves in the choices of others, glimpsing freedom in flashes."
Eurotrash (2024)
Christian Kracht
"There's a refreshing bright moral clarity to Christian Kracht's Eurotrash. Less than eighty years ago, grandpa was enslaving people to death. So when you learn that your share is 14 million Swiss Francs, how do you make it right?"
