This Other Eden: A Novel
by Paul Harding
Review of This other eden by Paul harding (1/30/2023)
In this novel, Paul Harding walks with Faulkner and McCarthy to pen a ferocious subsistence writing about suffering, incest, race, art, and faith -- and floods and fires; and unlike most contemporary authors, Harding seriously courts religiosity, futility, and cruelty in his fiction, which lends it earned tenderness and much needed nuance. It's a shame, then, that the major conflict of the novel between the progressive, utopian Apple Islanders and the progressive, utopian eugenics program of the state of Maine often lacks that same nuance.
We Deserve Monuments
by Jas Hammonds
Review of we deserve monuments (1/29/2023)
A stunning story of moving to a small town and realizing that everything can change with a simple move. Our safety is contingent on our environment and can be taken away from us so easily. But also a stunning story of falling for the girl next door. And learning about generational trauma, and learning to heal together. Honestly this is a stand out novel and you shouldn't miss it.
