The Circus by Jonas Karlsson
You had me at: “It all started with the usual discussion: is it possible to be friends with someone who listens to Fix Youby Coldplay?” I can really appreciate a book that fully embraces the weirdness of its characters, and Karlsson is a master of that sort of tomfoolery. The nameless narrator visits the circus with his childhood friend Magnus, who then disappears properly while volunteering for the magician’s vanishing act. Overall, this novella has a brisk, obvious absurdity that doesn’t so...

The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel
In the very anticipated follow up to Mandel’s Station Eleven, the story jumps from 1999 to the present day and follows Vincent, Paul, and Jonathan as they cope with moments of greed, guilt, ambition, and love. For the most part, the writing rambles along, slowly unveiling a constant, impending sense of dread.
The Subtweet by Vivek Shraya

Dear Girls by Ali Wong
