Signal Fires (2022)
Dani Shapiro
"Signal Fires is an urgent and compassionate meditation on memory, time, and space. Shapiro has created a world that's as wrenching as it is wondrous."
The Complicities (2022)
Stacey D'Erasmo
"The Complicities is a subtle masterpiece. Imagine a voice - lyrical and low, intimate and insistent - whispering in your ear. Half-told truths simmer below the surface, like the uneasy murmuring of a conscience. Mesmerized, you listen. There is menace here in D'Erasmo's disquieted world, and terrible beauty, too. Things are not what they appear to be. We are not who we think we are, either, and yet we are complicit."
A Map for the Missing (2022)
Belinda Huijuan Tang
"An engrossing saga of a young mathematician caught between two countries, two cultures, two eras, and two loves. Set against the violent turmoil of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, this powerful debut explores the wrenching impact of political ideologies on individual lives in a way that is resonant and timely."
