Jai Chakrabarti

Rarely do Chakrabarti’s stories find their characters in a state of “enormous happiness.” Still, in how they confront and then reckon with reality, there comes a sense of peace. Perhaps that’s enough.

Playworld

Adam Ross
leigh haberleigh haber

A beguiling ode to a lost era... Ross is so adept at world-building that we are seduced by his vision of the Big Apple as wholly enchanting and mystical... I didn't want it to end. The story is so rich and filled with intriguing--if morally questionable--characters that it's immersive.
