Go Home! edited by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan: “Asian diasporic writers imagine ‘home’ in the twenty-first century through an array of fiction, memoir, and poetry. Both urgent and meditative, this anthology moves beyond the model-minority myth and showcases the singular intimacies of individuals figuring out what it means to belong.”

Girls Burn Brighter by Shobha Rao: “Poornima and Savitha have three strikes against them: they are poor, they are ambitious, and they are girls. But when a devastating act of cruelty drives Savitha away, Poornima leaves behind everything she has ever known to find her friend.”

Paris Metro by Wendell Steavenson: “Kit, a reporter, has spent several years after 9/11 living in the Middle East, working as a correspondent for an American newspaper. But after the Charlie Hebdo attack occurs and, a few months later, terrorists storm the Bataclan, Kit’s core beliefs are shattered. Paris Metro is a taut and propulsive story of two cultures colliding under the same roof; of love, betrayal, and misunderstandings within families; and of the universal quest to find home.”
