The Light at the End of the World

Siddhartha Deb

Zach Issenberg

Hi everyone, I'm at the beach! I'm also reading The Light at the End of the World by Siddhartha Deb, which feels apocalyptic, dreamlike, and fantastical. If you're looking for a book like Delillo's Underworld or the fiction of Susan Daitch and Yoko Ogawa, try this. https://t.co/MYHSZHUmJe

Paradise: By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2021

Abdulrazak Gurnah

Zach Issenberg

As the semester wraps up, I can finally enjoy the results of my book hunting! A professor once recommended me Abdulrazak Gurnah's Paradise, and I'm thankful I found a copy. Each scene melds innocence to a distant severity. It's great news that many more will discover him soon. https://t.co/GxjF6799Z9

Mina's Matchbox

Yoko Ogawa

Zach Issenberg

An incredible novel that affirms Ogawa’s position as the great writer of fantastical literature today. This novel is much brighter in tone and detail than much of her other, often brutal and gloomy, work, but somehow the tension and terror of living is always at the periphery.
