Chigozie Obioma recommends
Digging Stars (2023)
Novuyo Rosa Tshuma
"An utterly remarkable novel of real ambition and heft by a truly significant young writer."
Dioramas (2023)
Blair Austin
"Blair Austin's Dioramas is a novel of endless possibilities and conceptual fiction at its finest. While it bears resemblance to Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, this novel is a masterwork in its own right and a major artistic leap for a debut novel."
A Down Home Meal for These Difficult Times (2022)
Meron Hadero
"Meron Hadero's collection, A Down Home Meal for These Difficult Times brims with lives on the margins, collisions that do not fully happen, redemptions thwarted at the last minute. Yet, it is through these moments that the vastness of the modern lives of immigrants (or the "transposed") are examined and fully revealed. This style, which time and time again comes off the page as truly effortless, is what makes Hadero a new master of the form, and this collection a masterful one."
