A searing analysis of antisemitism, including the radical argument that veneration of drastic history adds to the dehumanization rather than addressing it. Horn's book is also darkly funny amidst the rage. I can't stop thinking about this book.

A tale of art, grief, survival, and strangeness (in the best of ways) as an unexpected gift of mushrooms sets Song Tan's previously empty life into something other!

If you only know Jackson from The Lottery, please read this one. You will never forget the Blackwood Sisters. Deliciously creepy, claustrophobic, and wonderful.
