Nell Zink recommends
Reboot (2024)
Justin Taylor
"Justin Taylor is cursed with equal portions of modesty and genius. What inevitably results is a multilayered masterpiece about a paradox."
The Seaplane on Final Approach (2022)
Rebecca Rukeyser
"An age-old story--puppy love meets jaded lust to dance their death spiral inside a young woman's head--told with the shameless authenticity of 2022. I ate it up."
Love (2022)
Maayan Eitan
"Maayan Eitan is a pensive rebel seductress and a literary trickster. Love, her debut, is celebrated by various deans and kingmakers of Israeli letters as one of the new century's most important books. Her prose-poem account of life as an underage whore is so emotionally persuasive, so transparently metaphorical, so startlingly concrete, so obviously not true, that it had everyone in Israel convinced it was straight-up autofiction."
