ショクーフェ・アーザル, 堤 幸
After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, a family whose Tehran home has been burned flees to the northern village of Razan to protect both their lives and intellectual freedom. Bahar, the thirteen-year-old daughter who has died, narrates a story of family loss in which the living and the dead, folklore and political violence, continually cross paths.
Sandro Veronesi, Elena Pala
A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “ The Hummingbird is a remarkable accomplishment, a true gift to the world.” —Michael Cunningham “Long considered one of Italy's leading writers, Sandro Veronesi has re-written the family saga. Ardent, gripping, and inventive to the core, it has already been hailed a classic.”—Jhumpa Lahiri " The Hummingbird is a masterly novel, a brilliantly conceived mosaic of love and tragedy."—Ian McEwan The #1 international sensation from a master of European literature—winner of Italy’s Premio Strega—a saga of a Florentine family from the 1960s to the present that brilliantly captures the power of history and the multi-faceted experience of life itself as it explores how we contend with uncontrollable forces that both buffet and buoy us. Marco Carrera is “the hummingbird,” a man with an almost supernatural ability to remain still amid the chaos of an ever-changing world. Though his life is rife with emotional challenges—suffering the death of his sister and the absence of his brother; caring for his elderly parents; raising his granddaughter when her mother, Marco's own child, is no longer capable; loving an enigmatic woman—Marco carries on with a noble stoicism that belies an intensity for living. As the years pass and the arc of his life bends, Marco finds himself filled with joy for the future as the baton passes from him to the next generation. A beautiful and compelling journey through time told in myriad narrative styles, The Hummingbird is a story of suffering, happiness, loss, love, and hope—of a man who embodies the quiet heroism that defines daily life for countless ordinary folk. A thrilling novel about the need to look to the future with hope and live with intensity to the very end, Sandro Veronesi’s masterpiece—eminently readable, rich in insight, and filled with interesting twists and revelations—is a portrait of human existence, the vicissitudes and vagaries that propel and ultimately define us Translated from the Italian by Elena Pala "A great novel, vibrating with life and death, happiness and pain, nostalgia and hope for the future." — Vanity Fair "Everything that makes the novel worthwhile and engaging is here ... magnificent – moving, replete, beautiful." — The Guardian
Veronica Raimo
The novel captures family distortions, desire, loss, and the pains of growing up in a voice that is light, caustic, and precise. The gaps between memory and self-invention paradoxically reveal a truer self.

*Winner of the American Book Award* *Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Memoir/Biography* An Honor Book for the 2023 Stonewall Book Award—Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Book Award This witty memoir traces a touching and often hilarious spiralic path to embracing a gay, Latinx identity against a culture of machismo—from a cockfighting ring in Nicaragua to cities across the U.S.—and the bath houses, night clubs, and drag queens who help redefine pride I’ve always found the definition of machismo to be ironic, considering that pride is a word almost unanimously associated with queer people, the enemy of machistas . .
Manon Steffan Ros, Becka Moor
The English translation of a Welsh novel about a mother and son living after a nuclear disaster. It shows persistence and change in a ruined world with remarkable delicacy.
Kim Moore
This collection follows emotions that shift between the female body, desire, violence, and intimacy through a numbered sequence. Its frank feminism and sharp self-observation bring the complexity of relationships into view.
セリーヌ, 生田 耕作
Told through Bardamu, the novel drifts from the First World War to colonial Africa, the American industrial world, and back to Paris. It confronts war, empire, and modern violence in a stark, highly colloquial voice.
Romeo Oriogun
This poetry collection is built around movement and exile, tracing the pain of leaving home and the instincts needed to survive elsewhere. As it moves across West Africa, questions of history, memory, the body, and borders keep overlapping.
Darcie Little Badger
An Indigenous futurist novel about a Lipan Apache girl and a cottonmouth from the spirit world whose paths intersect as monsters, magic, and family pull their worlds together.
Hervé Le Tellier, Adriana Hunter
A New York Times bestseller and a "Best Thriller of the Year " Winner of the Goncourt Prize and now an international phenomenon, this dizzying, whip-smart novel blends crime, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller as it plumbs the mysteries surrounding a Paris-New York flight. Who would we be if we had made different choices? Told that secret, left that relationship, written that book? We all wonder—the passengers of Air France 006 will find out. In their own way, they were all living double lives when they boarded the plane: Blake, a respectable family man who works as a contract killer. Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star who uses his womanizing image to hide that he’s gay. Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boys’ game to succeed with her Big Pharma client. Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet largely obscure writer suddenly on the precipice of global fame. About to start their descent to JFK, they hit a shockingly violent patch of turbulence, emerging on the other side to a reality both perfectly familiar and utterly strange. As it charts the fallout of this logic-defying event, The Anomaly takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House and a top-secret hangar. In Hervé Le Tellier’s most ambitious work yet, high literature follows the lead of a bingeable Netflix series, drawing on the best of genre fiction from “chick lit” to mystery, while also playfully critiquing their hallmarks. An ingenious, timely variation on the doppelgänger theme, it taps into the parts of ourselves that elude us most.

QUANUNDRUM [I WILL BE YOUR MANY ANGLED THING] presents the choices created when visual poetics reflects on the eco-poetics. Can visual poetry be reconciled with ecology?
Truong Tran, Bhanu Kapil
A furious, multiform examination of the devastation wrought by anti-Asian racism in America Truong Tran's provocative collection of poetry, prose and essays is a stunning rebuttal to the idea of anti-Asian racism as a victimless crime. Written with a compulsion for lucidity that transforms outrage into clarity, Book of the Other resists the luxury of metaphor to write about the experience of being shut out, shut down and othered as a queer, working-class teacher, immigrant and refugee.
