Mary Gaitskill recommends
Cheri (2023)
Jo Ann Beard
"Profoundly sad, poignant, and filled with the flabbergasting abundance of life ... an extraordinary achievement."
The Days of Afrekete (2021)
Asali Solomon
"The Days of Afrekete is a subtle, unique novel about the power of feeling between young women, and how even seemingly ephemeral relationships can affect a life across decades of personal and social change. It is a haunting and redemptive story."
Alien Stories (2021)
E C Osondu
"Osondu looks at the human condition in all its poignant absurdity; with observant wonder and subtle humor, he portrays our capacity for heartbreak, resilience, love, courage, sorrow, and most of all, our unique capacity for hope and hopelessness rolled together."
