Dolly City
Orly Castel-Bloom
@EMirengoff If you're a Dara Horn fan, I recommend THE WEIGHT OF INK; if you're just asking what my favorite Jewish novels are, well, some are no longer fashionable but others were never fashionable--I really like DOLLY CITY by Orly Castel-Bloom!

Pow!
Mo Yan
I got to be the publicist for POW, Mo Yan's first book after he won. Do you know what it's like to have a book EVERY book outlet WANTS? I'd never experienced it before. A perfect storm of coverage. Glorious. I basically retired afterward to bask in the serotonin. ❤️@seagullbooks

Naamah
