Assumption by Percival Everett
“[Assumption is] made up of three sections, with each one overturning its opening premise and taking us out into deeper waters. . . . All we can do is hang on and go along for the intellectually stimulating and genre-bending ride, in which bodies and assumptions fall quickly by the wayside.”


Erasure by Percival Everett
“Erasure is a perfectly crafted, pointedly aimed satire by one of America’s most gifted (and overlooked) novelists. . . . [It is] hilarious, absurd, profound, and disturbing, in ways that couldn’t be more relevant to today’s nominally post-racial cultural moment.”
The Rest of the Voyage by Bernard Noël, Translated from the French by Eléna Rivera
“Bernard Noël is a cerebral, urban-realist mystic caught up by the extraordinary in everyday language as it passes by, carried in things themselves. He captures the instant of wonder, filled with longing, lust, and above all necessity, grounding it in earthy satisfaction.”
