Michelle Tea recommends
Some Strange Music Draws Me in (2024)
Griffin Hansbury
"This gorgeous, propulsive novel is filled with beauty and danger, youth and wisdom, and the lifesaving lifelines of counterculture. With writing so tense and honest and real, I recognized this place and these people deeply, and felt them all in my heart long after the book was finished."
Yours for the Taking (2023)
Gabrielle Korn
"Gabrielle Korn's debut fiction imagines a world that seems freakishly, frighteningly possible--no doubt because she's done such a fine job of creating characters that are vibrantly alive, and recognizable....A great, contemporary take on the classic what-would-an-all-female-society-look-like genre, full of suspense and fair warning."
Toad (2022)
Katherine Dunn
"Dark and strange and funny, deeply lived, with a nothing-left-to-lose vibe of radical honesty, Toad is a joy. An unexpected final book from a literary hero, brimming with relatable madness and mendacity, ferocious desire, the fascinating ephemera of connections. Odd and tragic and cool--I loved Toad."
