Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
“Ami Police”: A Story
“An impressive row of necklaces dangled from her neck, and in terror I noticed, shining like diamonds, roughly sewn onto tiny lockets along each chain, dozens of small eyes crowned with minuscule mirror shards.”
Francine Prose
More Than Just Acknowledgments
Tommy Orange’s novels document the shifting balance between the blessings and curses of modern Native life, most of which have been in operation since long before the characters were born.
Kenneth Roth
Crimes of War in Gaza
Civilians in Gaza are in grave danger from Israel’s disregard for international law.
Anne Enright
The High Irish Style
John McGahern sought formality and distance in his prose, but his masterful novels were always underpinned by the difficult realities of his own life.
