Padgett Powell recommends
 Venus Drive (2000) Sam Lipsyte "These are torqued-up, enthusiastically black-hearted stories by a grimly cheerful author. And the damned things are queerly rather loving and lovely as well." |  Everything Here Is the Best Thing Ever (2010) Justin Taylor "This is not quaint blue-collar realism but something entirely more honest. Thers is a debt paid to Donald Barthelme... and a strange undertow of Philip Roth, which makes for a new literrary beast." |
