Mortals
Norman Rush
"At least whatever was wrong was recent, Ray kept telling himself, he realized." Love this first sentence to Norman Rush's Mortals. Monkey bars made of words, found myself playing on them a while before going on to second sentence.

Catalina
Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
Catalina is wildly, movingly, mercurially alive – one moment terrifyingly unhinged and lonely, and in the next, knockdown glorious. The amazingly gifted Karla Cornejo Villavicencio is even more fearless, letting her brainy, irreverent protagonist skewer one sacrosanct cultural complacency or dogma after another.
