Adam Thirlwell recommends

How to Be Somebody Else (2024)
Miranda Pountney
"Compulsive. It makes its moves with such assurance that it's hard to believe this is Pountney's first novel. A wild mess of sex and feeling is here given beautiful form."
thumb
The Appointment (2020)
Katharina Volckmer
"The Appointment is a wonderful first novel—at once savage and precise, hypercomical and furious. It has all the authority of true chutzpah."
thumb
Sea Monsters (2019)
Chloe Aridjis
"I love the way Chloe Aridjis creates her own worlds in prose, and I especially love how Sea Monsters has invented the world of adolescence and its reveries: violent and tender, logical and dreamlike – a twenty-first century essay disguised as a nineteenth-century fable."
