Yxta Maya Murray recommends
The Dog of the North (2023)
Elizabeth McKenzie
"Compassionate, funny, quirky, and beautifully written, Elizabeth McKenzie's The Dog of the North is a novel of our moment. McKenzie spins an exquisitely-wrought tale about the contemporary precariat, health woes, fraying relationships, and the durability of friendship, which she sets within the early midlife walkabout. A triumph!"
Mona (2021)
Pola Oloixarac
"Engaging and challenging . . . Oloixarac offers an illuminating critique of the business of literature . . . [and] calls for . . . writing as a commitment to people and some version of love, without descending into pabulum or cliché."
