We Measure the Earth with Our Bodies by Tsering Yangzom Lama
“[A] heartfelt and magical saga of a Tibetan family's love, sacrifice, and heritage . . . Lama imbues this mesmerizing tale — informed by her own family fleeing Tibet for Nepal in the 1960s — with a rich sense of history, mysticism, and ritual.” —Publishers Weekly
Either/Or by Elif Batuman
“Selin is a disarming narrator, tossing off insights that are revelatory, moving, and laugh-out-loud funny — sometimes all at once — and it’s exciting to watch her become the author of her own story. Another delightfully cerebral and bighearted novel from a distinctive voice in contemporary fiction.” —Kirkus Reviews
Neruda on the Park by Cleyvis Natera
“Natera plays with definitions of home and material and spiritual success, showing how the personal and political can become confused even when a cause, or a crime, seems straightforward . . . A savvy melodrama, warmhearted and as astute as a lawyer’s brief.” —Kirkus Reviews
Sleepwalk by Dan Chaon
“This strange and compelling plot features Chaon’s signature imaginative flair and brilliant pacing to create an ominous tension infused with sly wit . . . A consummate storyteller, Chaon imbues the darkly comic with colossal heart.” —Booklist
You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi
“Emezi has created a dazzling celebration of the messiness of living and feeling with their signature gift for articulating characters' inner voices in raw and expressive detail. Couple that with a thrilling story of forbidden love, and Emezi has created a seductive and powerful novel that will make readers feel renewed." —Booklist
