Kashana Cauley’s novel “The Payback” imagines a world where the Debt Police are real, and they’re into reiki... a novel that takes on our absurd, predatory student loan system with a zany sense of humor. Because how else can we stomach it?

“NSFW” makes your brain spin on the #MeToo merry-go-round that’s come derailed from the base and spontaneously set on fire. Bleak and brave, the novel is a reminder of how skewered women are, no matter “how far we’ve come.”

Every detail is sharply placed by Willis, who has a scorching sense of humor and a soft spot for humanity down here on Earth…Some of us seek meaning in big, ambitious missions. Others are trying to find it in our own backyard.

Bauer’s writing is so gorgeous, the dialogue so cutting, that I began to wonder if there was a world where people have casual conversations about “Anna Karenina,” when the last debate I had with a friend was about the benefits of zip-front sports bras.
