All This Could Be Yours: A Searing Southern Family Drama About Confronting Bad Men and Toxic Legacy
Jami Attenberg
A terrible patriarch is dying in New Orleans while his family reckons with everything he was. Attenberg is so good on messy families.
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.
Trespasses
Louise Kennedy
Northern Ireland during the Troubles, a young teacher and an older married man. Kennedy writes tension you can feel in your chest. Excellent.
