You Only Call When You're in Trouble (2024)
Stephen McCauley
"Stephen McCauley's delicious new novel follows its characters, light on their feet as they search for their best selves. Along the way, they dodge with agility an assortment of contemporary obstacles--flagging relationships, employment insecurities, delusional parents. The author's rare ability is finding the humor lining sadness to create a complex story with emotional depth."
Presidio (2018)
Randy Kennedy
"Randy Kennedy's Mexican-American frontier of the 1970s occupies the same dustblown landscape painted by Cormac McCarthy. Car thieves and drug dealers tumble together with Mennonites and luncheonette waitresses—all of them lightened by empty pockets, small dreams, and minimal futures. From these elements Kennedy assembles a gorgeously written narrative of outrunning violence and despair."
