Kelly Lytle Hernández's "Bad Mexicans" is an engrossing look at the magonistas, whose activism helped launch the 1910 Mexican Revolution. I wrote about it for the Minneapolis Star Tribune: https://www.startribune.com/review-bad-mexicans-by-kelly-lytle-hernandez/600172959/

I was just blown away by Kyle Lucia Wu's "Win Me Something," one of the most beautiful novels I've read this year. It's a subtle, powerful book that I can't stop thinking about. I wrote about it for NPR: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/31/1050648545/win-me-something-kyle-lucia-wu-review

Rogues is a wonderful book, not only because Keefe's prose is masterful, but because he has a preternatural gift for reading people. ... This book is a joy to read.

Gordo is a lovely book that masterfully evokes 1970s California, but manages, nonetheless, to feel truly universal.

Talty's prose is flawless ... 'Night of the Living Rez' is a shockingly strong debut, sure, but it's also a masterwork by a major talent.

Emily Maloney's "Cost of Living" is a stunning essay collection about what it's like to be sick, and to care for the sick, in America's broken health care system. I wrote about it for the Minneapolis Star Tribune: https://t.co/lArU3MN0bQ
