Stewart O'Nan recommends
 Safe in Heaven Dead (2003) Samuel Ligon "While the escape from everyday responsibility into total nihilistic freedom may seem a fantasy for some readers, Sam Ligon's heroes find no relief in their double lives. Fully imagined and fluent, Safe in Heaven Dead is a strong and promising debut." |  Hidden (2004) Paul Jaskunas "'All a lie needs is telling,' Paul Jaskunas writes, and his thoughtful narrator, Maggie Wilson, is living proof. She peels away the layers surrounding her own near-murder and resurrection so calmly it gives you chills. Hidden is a shifty, low-key thriller, half Spellbound, half Daphne du Maurier." |  The Rowing Lesson (2007) Anne Landsman "Like Joyce or William Gass or John Edgar Wideman, Anne Landsman fashions a sensual web of memory and desire, rescuing a world at the brink of extinction through the power of her lyricism." | |
 Dizzy City (2007) Nicholas Griffin "From the trenches of the Great War to Tin Pan Alley and the Great White Way... this is the best sort of historical drama." |  Keeper and Kid (2008) Edward Hardy "A fine, fetching novel with a good heart. Keeper is nimble and affecting, a tribute to the author's endless comic inventiveness." |  Right of Thirst (2009) Frank Huyler "Brilliant, start to finish. The voice is an achievement, and the world of emotion Huyler delivers. It's clear and deep and wise, and very few contemporary novels can make that claim." | |
 No Space for Further Burials (2010) Feryal Ali Gauhar "In writing through the eyes of an American captive in Afghanistan, Feryal Ali Gauhar has fashioned a fascinating two-way mirror in which we see the author creating an Other confronting Otherness. As in Richard Powers' hostage novel Ploughing in the Dark, the mask of character reveals as much as it conceals." |  Extra Indians (2010) Eric Gansworth "Rollicking and tenderhearted." |  The Painted Darkness (2010) Brian James Freeman "The tone and building dread reminds me of classic Stephen King. Great velocity and impact, and super creepy. Don't go in the basement!" | |
 Tea of Ulaanbaatar (2011) Christopher R Howard "A merciless dissection of lost young American volunteers drifting through a violent and absurd third-world capital... Howard's sharp, spare voice delivers a nightmarish geo-noir." |  Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day (2011) Ben Loory "Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day is that rare find--a book that excites the reader. These tales are hilarious and vertiginous in the calmly absurd manner of Lydia Davis, Jack Handey and Etgar Keret. With his first book, Ben Loory proves he's already a master of the sleight of hand." |
