"This extravagantly inventive, linguistically daring work skewers two different American cultures. Johnson, who is African-American, conjures the voice of a naïve young white student who arrives at the University of California, Berkeley, from the deepest of the Deep South."

The Tsar of Love and Techno
Anthony Marra | 2017 | Contemporary, Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"In a politically fractious America in which “bearing witness” has been attacked as a motive for art in recent years, emerging writers have nonetheless written boldly across divides of class, ethnic identity, and gender. Outstanding among these has been Anthony Marra, a young American author whose first two books are set mainly in Russia and the former Soviet Union. In A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, Marra’s debut novel, three survivors of the Second Chechen War band together in an abandoned hospital. In 2015’s The Tsar of Love and Techno, linked short stories follow various characters’ dreams and dashed hopes from the 1930s to the present, and then beyond."

Joyce Carol Oates recommended Version Control in Books (curated)

 
Version Control
Version Control
Dexter Palmer | 2016 | Fiction & Poetry, Science Fiction/Fantasy
7.7 (3 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"Version Control is perhaps the strangest fictional work of appropriated voices and subjects. It’s set in a surreal near future — or several near futures — as well as in several pasts. Though issues of race play virtually no role in the stories, one character, an African-American physicist, recalls dropping out of a writing course because the professor thought he should be mining his heritage instead of inventing science fiction."

"Atticus Lish’s award-winning first novel is, in part, an extraordinary immersion in the interior life of a female Chinese “illegal immigrant” in the Flushing section of Queens, N.Y"
