Francisco Goldman recommends
Fervour (2024)
Toby Lloyd
"Both a provocative work of Jewish horror and a modern biblical tale, Fervour is the tightly coiled story of an idiosyncratic family whose unlikely survival skills also spell its doom."
1,000 Coils of Fear (2022)
Olivia Wenzel
"This novel's mixed-race young narrator interrogates her own painful past and confusion of selves - German Angolan, child of an East Germany erased by unification, boy lovers girl lovers, badass and vulnerable, cowering and defiant - in a voice so exuberant, inventive, brainy, sensitive, and hilarious that it's like a pyrotechnic flare illuminating the whole woman, past and present, radiant, unique, a voice and a novel to take with us into the future."
Witches (2022)
Brenda Lozano
"I've always wanted to encounter a voice like this in literature, a contemporary bruja oaxaquena, without folklore or cliche, with true feeling, complexity, and poetry. It feels like discovering that Juan Rulfo has transformed into a twenty-first century woman, or better yet, that he has returned as one of the many voices that live in Brenda Lozano. A beautiful, painful, funny, and tender novel."
