Stunning ... One of Ng’s most poignant tricks in this novel is to bury its central tragedy...in the middle of the action. This raises the narrative from the specific story of a confused boy and his defeated father to a reflection on the universal bond between parents and children.

One of Morrison’s hardest, toughest works, The Bluest Eye is also one of her deepest and truest... Morrison needs only just over 200 pages to craft a full novel about what is seen and unseen, what we overlook in other people, and how society manufactures beauty.

Dark academia remains a hot genre; R. F. Kuang (“Yellowface”) takes it to a new level in her sixth novel. Two graduate students, Alice and Peter, must travel to hell in order to save their professor’s soul, and yes, there’s a bit of will-they-or-won’t-they romance.

Out of stock
