George Saunders recommends

Florida (2004) Christine Schutt "Christine Schutt conveys real truths about childhood and longing. She is truly a gifted writer."	War Trash (2004) Ha Jin "Ha Jin is one of the finest writers in America: subtle, huge-hearted, possessed of an utterly original, mind-altering vision of the world, and an exquisite, disciplined style. His work never fails to thrill me, and expand my ideas about life, and about the transformative powers of fiction."
