Erasure
Percival Everett
A Black novelist, sick of what publishing wants from him, writes a cynical parody that becomes a smash. Furious and very funny. The basis for American Fiction.
Off Course
Michelle Huneven
A woman holes up at her family's Sierra cabin to finish her dissertation and instead falls into a consuming affair. Huneven is so good on desire and self-sabotage.
★ 5Everything You Ever Wanted
Luiza Sauma
A disillusioned woman signs up for a one-way trip to colonize a distant planet. Strange and quietly devastating.
