John Larison recommends
Fire Season (2022)
Leyna Krow
"Fire Season sparks to life on the power of Leyna Krow's masterful subversion of criminality. While at first this novel's inferno seems confined to one minor western outpost, by the final pages, it's throwing light on the unreliable narrators who perpetuate misogyny across America. Riveting, resonant and charmingly rebellious, Fire Season will leave you wanting to read anything by Leyna Krow."
Sugar Baby and Other Stories (2021)
River Jordan
"River Jordan writes music onto the page. Her stories echo about the hills of the mind like downhome ballads: rich with detail, raw with emotion, and capable of delivering light through dusk."
Godspeed (2021)
Nickolas Butler
"Set in an American West torn between its pinewood past and marble future, Godspeed is the story of three childhood friends and the construction contract that will make--or break--their lives. What begins as a novel of optimism and ambition morphs into a dark warning about the end-game of American capitalism. With his characteristically rich and transporting prose, Nickolas Butler continues the urgent examination of class and culture he began in his beloved debut, Shotgun Lovesongs."
