I recommend the pure pleasure of time spent with @egabbert’s mind. Her marvel of a book, NORMAL DISTANCE, has this beautiful cover and is available for pre-order now! https://t.co/5crLG4Bt4f

@rachsyme Peter Cameron’s What Happens at Night is a special one

@Nomi_Stone Very late to this, but if you’re continuing to compile for them, James Hannaham’s PILOT IMPOSTOR is magnificent

@jenniferlcroft How new(ish)? Where the Wild Ladies Are by Aoko Matsuda is a trip (tr. Polly Barton)

"Fairy tales aren’t just for kids – especially not the ones in Hiromi Kawakami’s dark, bizarre collection of short stories . . . It’s a magical book that’s a lot of fun to read." @michaelschaub on @softskull's PEOPLE FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD https://t.co/hMECsiXLRh

Also! 🥁 "There’s more. This fall, Bookshop will publish a collection of short stories by Lydia Davis—a partnership about as glam as having Miuccia Prada design a capsule collection for some tiny boutique."

@hedhouseman Alison Hawthorne Deming's A WOVEN WORLD

I'm elated to see Francine Prose's genius trained on one of my favorite books of the year, Semezdin Mehmedinović's MY HEART, a "powerful, at once profound and charming book." My last good public cry was over this novel; now we can all cry at home! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/09/books/review/semezdin-mehmedinovic-my-heart.html

I recommend starting your week on a high note via this open-hearted conversation about JACKET WEATHER, the most exquisitely tender novel I’ve read in years. It’s “about love with a real sense of stakes” and “it goes down easy,” “a perfect expression of itself.” ✔️✔️✔️ https://t.co/lUWF5kJ581
