Zadie Smith recommends
After the Funeral (2023)
Tessa Hadley
"I find Tessa Hadley's work genuinely helpful, especially when it comes to the big subjects: love and marriage, the political versus the personal, children, friendship. And then there are the sentences themselves, so precise and beautiful, often sly, sometimes devastating, always expertly paced. Few writers give me such consistent pleasure."
Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul? (2021)
Jesse McCarthy
"This is a very smart and soulful book. Jesse McCarthy is a terrific essayist."
Fake Accounts (2021)
Lauren Oyler
"This novel made me want to retire from contemporary reality. I loved it."
