Pinckney Benedict recommends
Unbend the River (2024)
Devin Murphy
"The stories are told with a deft touch and an eye for detail; Murphy's prose is both elegant and moving. This book will leave readers homesick for a place they have never been and people they have never met."
Horse (2018)
Talley English
"Every animal in this novel—dog, goose, cat, horse, or human—comes across as utterly real. Talley English magically combines the narrative drive of a novelist with the linguistic sensitivity of a poet and the wisdom of a woman who has lived her life in nature. A book for anyone who loves horses and good novels."
Aftermath Lounge (2015)
Margaret McMullan
"The best apocalyptic fiction of the year comes to us in these beautifully crafted, masterfully stories. A hopeful Book of Revelation."
