My First Book

Honor Levy
Leland CheukLeland Cheuk

In her strongest stories, Levy channels the blitzkrieg of contradictory micro-observations we absorb from social media, video games, and doomscrolling...These stories seem to ask: How can anyone expect a well-adjusted adult to rise from all this noise?
