It's very new, but I just finished The Aquatics by Osvalde Lewat @coffeehousepress.bsky.social. It's lush and courageous and disturbing and so well written. Both difficult and unputdownable. I'm hoping to write about it somewhere.

📗 The books coming out of small presses are so, so important. PW says of the latest from Coffee House Press, "cutting and self-assured, [Hyper] heralds the arrival of a thrilling new voice in the vein of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Zadie Smith." Check it out here: bookshop.org/a/106297/978...

"HELEN OF NOWHERE wears its weirdness and difficulty with pride. Goodman has created an ambiguous, mercurial work dripping with irony, but it doesn't feel remote." Makenna Goodman getting a rave review in The Times!
