Open, Heaven

I second Richard. Open, Heaven is superb. I’m currently reading and adoring Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens (it’s a dark fantasy exploring the Romany diaspora in Canada)
I was quite impressed with Doug Jones' debut novel The Fantasies of Future Things. It's interesting in terms of both characters and setting. The characters: two young, Black men attempting to break into the real estate business. The setting: Atlanta shortly after the city has won its bid to host the 1996 Olympics.My **** review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Separate Rooms by Pier Vittorio Tondelli has a new translation in time for US #PrideMonth, by Simon Pleasance, and published by exciting new publisher Zando. I gave it all 5 stars: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
