A World-Bending Mystery of Impossible Choices: The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso Review

July 4, 2025 by Amanda Růžičková

This book came to me as a metaphorically dog-eared suggestion from my friend Eliot, and I’m so glad they suggested it; it’s just the sort of book I love. In The Last Hour Between Worlds, the latest release from Melissa Caruso, the author builds up catastrophes like a clockmaker who’s bent on breaking time. SheRead More

Cosmology and Reinvention: Little Deaths all in a Row by Elizabeth Earley Review

June 7, 2025 by Anna N.

Elizabeth Earley’s essay collection Little Deaths all in a Row (out September 16th) is a deeply vulnerable, deeply personal cosmology constructed from recollections of working hospice care, practicing Reiki, formative childhood experiences, and a myriad of sexual and romantic experiences spanning her life so far. She meshes these memories into a collage of concepts from cognitive science, biology, physics to try and address questions about intimacy,Read More

Never Fade Away: The Old Guard Immortal Edition Volume 1 Review

June 1, 2025 by Kathryne Slant

It’s always a good time to re-read a Greg Rucka graphic novel, in my opinion… and to prep for the release of the film adaptation starring Charlize Theron? That may just be the best time of all. If you are on this site but have not yet watched The Old Guard, which stars Theron asRead More

A Literary Love Story of the Moment: Liquid by Mariam Rahmani Review

May 13, 2025 by Anna N.

This novel has been a hard one to write a review for. Mostly because of the upheavals happening, and my subsequent desire to try and locate the text as best as I can in the current moment. Because, reader, it truly is a novel for the times, of the times. So here is the earliestRead More

Love, Grief, and the Abyssal Depths of the Ocean: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

March 3, 2025 by Emilia Ferrante

There is a peculiar kind of sadness in telling a love story backwards, starting with its end. There’s the tenderness and domesticity of an established relationship, and the inevitable fact of its eventual nonexistence. This love story captures a relationship by chronicling its end. Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield’s debut novel, is a captivating tale told in alternating perspectives about a couple, Miri and Leah, the latter of whom goes out on a deep-sea exploration and comes back irrevocably changed. The book weaves Miri’s struggle to reconcile the slow slipping away of her wife, Leah, with Leah’s recounting of the events of the deep-sea submersible dive.

Piercingly Insightful Poetry: The Delicacy of Embracing Spirals by Mimi Tempestt

November 4, 2023 by Anna N.

Bookshop.org Affiliate Link From the epigraph to the end, this book is clear-eyed about its aims and its author’s perspective. Tempestt’s writing draws the reader in as a participant, with mentions of readers, watchers, audiences that are not confrontational, but certainly not abstracted. Reading this collection felt like watching spoken word, or another kind ofRead More
