Headshot (2024)
Rita Bullwinkel
"The genius that is Rita Bullwinkel has finally handed us this brilliant, perfect novel, and it is everything you hoped for; it is as devastating and inventive and philosophical and playful as you could imagine. I dreamed of it for days after I finished it. I dreamed of those girls' punches and their swirling minds."
Plastic (2024)
Scott Guild
"Few writers are more brilliant, captivating, and hilarious than Scott Guild. He is a visionary - and what he envisions is terrifying, yes, but also full of love, hope, and radiance. Plastic, with its large-hearted characters and riveting storytelling, will certainly turn out to be one of the best novels of the year."
Ten Planets (2023)
Yuri Herrera
"Utterly brilliant, hilarious, and original, these strange jewels. Anyone whose hand alights on this book and does not open it is missing out on the best work of our time."
