Mira Jacob recommends
The Storm We Made (2024)
Vanessa Chan
"Vanessa Chan's The Storm We Made is a phenomenon unto itself. This is no mere debut, but rather the summoning of a story buried so deeply in a nation that it could only surface with a talent great enough to do it justice."
Sea Change (2023)
Gina Chung
"A wild blessing of a debut. Gina Chung's curiosity, precision and grace have created a world both strange and recognizable, the kind of place you can find a version of yourself you did not know existed, and call her home."
A Small Sacrifice for an Enormous Happiness (2023)
Jai Chakrabarti
"Jai Chakrabarti offers real magic with A Small Sacrifice for an Enormous Happiness, opening worlds upon worlds with each sentence. To follow him is to succumb to the pure joy of disappearing into a book completely."
