As we follow characters on their journeys of self-discovery through the jungle of Thailand, as a child in the British countryside, or as an aging doctor on the island of Cyprus, Absence evocatively builds a compassionate symphony of nostalgia, attuned to the drama of everyday and the phantoms that linger with us. Issa Quincy has constructed a transcendent portrait of humanity, deftly illuminating those memories that forever bind us to one another.

In Anzar’s cracked mirror, Californian freakiness meets Victorian preoccupations with the domestic, pollution and filth, haunted houses, fringe societies, living death, spiritualism, vampiric women, and class parasites. Acid Green Velvet is a surreal powder keg of nihilism, fathers and their failures, manifest destiny, and American identity, penned in rapturous prose by the fiercest writer of her generation.

With remarkable dexterity and an acerbic wit, Katharina Volckmer skewers the corporate workplace and watercooler relationships, culminating in an insightful and powerfully moving portrait of loneliness and human connection.

Jimmie works in a London call center, fielding complaints from dissatisfied travelers. Concerns range from whether compulsive itching will attract sharks in Mykonos, to the queue at the infinity pools in Maldives, to stray hairs on pillows: “the utterings of people at odds with their own hedonism, holidays made unenjoyable by their own expectations.” Today is different, Jimmie’s co-worker Elin warns him. Jimmie is on the chopping block, and his boss, Simon, has followed him into the bathroom during an unauthorized break to request an “urgent” meeting.

From award-winning author Nora Lange comes a refreshing look at the lives of women attempting to rattle carping mothers and wanting men through daytime sex.

Hilarious, playful, and savage, Day Care is a biting reflection on American identity, the male gaze, and consumerism that furthers Lange’s budding reputation as a major talent.

B is adrift after the publication of his debut novel, ill at ease creatively in the wake of its release, his thoughts consumed by podcasts and the desire to leave his desk. One evening, he pauses on a photograph of a queer Cree couple – Norm and Richard – who have carefully constructed a life together. Their abiding love compels B to reach out; to his surprise, the couple invite him into their home.

At the opening of an art exhibition, W finds himself the object of a conservative politician’s sudden interest. As Daniil demands ever greater control and secrecy over their tumultuous romance, W is cast into the orbit of B’s attention and fixation. Together, B and W form a tenuous bond that stands in stark contrast to Norm and Richard’s enduring companionship.

Idealism and Despair is a nuanced study of desire, intimacy, and the ways we view one another, proving yet again Belcourt to be an exceptional and singular talent.

With exacting psychological detail and a trenchant atmosphere, Shelter Is Necessary for Existence is a darkly comic and piercing social critique that examines the troubling territory of awareness, the lengths some go to avoid it, and what must be confronted for change to occur.
