Books Fiction to Read in Fall 2023 • One of Kirkus Reviews' Fall 2023 Big Books By Small Presses • A Kirkus Review Work of Translated Fiction To Read Now • One of CBC Books Best Books of 2023 In an alternate history in which the French never surrendered Detroit, children protect their own kingdom in the trees. In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city’s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together.And Then She Fell: A Novel

CBC, The Walrus, Good Morning America, Bustle, CrimeReads, Electric Literature, Debutiful, Ms. Magazine, The Nerd Daily, and PasteA mind-bending, gripping novel about Native life, motherhood and mental health that follows a young Mohawk woman who discovers that the picture-perfect life she always hoped for may have horrifying consequencesOn the surface, Alice is exactly where she should be. She's just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Dawn; her charming husband, Steve, is nothing but supportive; and they've recently moved to a wealthy neighborhood in Toronto. And yet, Alice feels like an imposter. She isn't connecting with Dawn, a struggle made even more difficult by the recent loss of her mother, and every waking moment is spent hiding her despair from her watchful white neighbors. Her growing self-doubt hinders the one vestige of her old life she has left: her goal of writing a modern retelling of the Haudenosaunee creation story.At first, Alice is convinced her discomfort is of her own making, but then strange things start happening. She finds herself losing bits of time, hearing voices she can't explain, and speaking with things that should not be talking back to her, all while her neighbors' passive-aggressive behavior begins to morph into something far more threatening. Though Steve assures her this is all in her head, Alice cannot fight the feeling that something is very, very wrong, and that in her creation story lies the key to her and Dawn's survival. . . . She just has to finish it before it's too late.Told in Alice's darkly funny voice, And Then She Fell is an urgent and unflinching look at inherited trauma, womanhood, denial, and false allyship, which speeds to an unpredictable—and surreal—climax.Moon of the Turning Leaves

The Circle
Par Katherena Vermette. 2023
NATIONAL BESTSELLER“The Circle is a polyphonic masterpiece.” —Erika T. Wurth, author of White HorseFrom the award-winning and #1 bestselling author…
of The Break and The Strangers comes a poignant and unwavering epic told from a constellation of Métis voices that consider the fallout when the person who connects them all goes missing The concept was simple. You sit a bunch of people in a circle—everyone who hurt, everyone who got hurt, all affected—and let them share. Some people, it helped them heal, for sure. Others went in angry and left a different kind of angry. Learned how the blame belonged on the system, the history, the colonizer, the big things that were harder to change than one bad person. The day that Cedar Sage Stranger has been both dreading and longing for has finally come: her sister Phoenix is getting out of prison. The effect of Phoenix’s release cascades through the community. M, the young girl whom she assaulted, is triggered by the news. Her mother, Paulina, is worried and her cousin is angry—all feel the threat of Phoenix’s release. When Phoenix is seen lingering outside the school to catch a glimpse of her son, Sparrow, the police get a call to file a report—but the next thing they know, she has disappeared. Amid accusations and plots for revenge, past grievances become a poor guide in a moment of danger, and the clumsy armature of law enforcement is no match for the community. Cedar and her and Phoenix’s mother, Elsie, continue down different paths of healing, while everyone in their lives form a circle around the chaos, the calm within the storm, and the beauty in the darkness. Fierce, heartbreaking, and profound, Vermette’s The Circle is the third and final companion novel to her bestsellers The Break and The Strangers. Told from various perspectives, with an unforgettable voice for each chapter, the novel is masterfully structured as a Restorative Justice Circle where all gather—both the victimized and the accused—to take account of a crime that has altered the course of their lives. It considers what it means to be abandoned by the very systems that claim to offer support, how it feels to gain a sense of belonging, and the unanticipated cost of protecting those you love most.The Secret Explorers and the Moon Mission (The Secret Explorers #9)

el primer libro de relatos de Laura Fernández. «Un humor y una inteligencia que van más allá de cualquier IA de origen terrícola que podamos imaginar. Leerlos es un viaje intergaláctico a los confines de un universo literario lleno de damas y caballeros (algunos con tres ojos) apasionados y locos por los libros y la escritura».Lola Larumbe, librería Alberti (Madrid)Los relatos aquí reunidos son lo que podríamos llamar «cuentos escogidos», y si algo tienen en común es que no son de este planeta. Literalmente. Pues están ambientados en desopilantemente absurdos rincones de la galaxia. Con un humor y una imaginación que no se detienen ante nada ni nadie, Laura Fernández reinventa nuestro mundo desde otros infinitos mundos poblados por famosos detectives mutantes, periodistas fantasma, dinosaurios oficinistas, autodirigibles que hablan más de la cuenta, limoneros que no son exactamente lo que parecen y habitantes de otros planetas que podrían habitar perfectamente éste. Estas novelas en miniatura dan cuenta del exuberante universo que Laura Fernández ha ido creando y expandiendo a lo largo de quince años. Además de los cuentos que han sido editados previamente —en todo tipo de pequeñas publicaciones y antologías—, Damas, caballeros y planetas incluye un prólogo y otros textos adicionales de la propia autora, así como una nouvelle y un relato inéditos. Galardonada con los premios de narrativa El Ojo Crítico, Las Librerías Recomiendan, Finestres y Kelvin 505 por La Señora Potter no es exactamente Santa Claus, regresa una de las autoras más audaces, brillantes, singulares y talentosas de nuestro panorama literario. Los libreros opinan:«Leer a Laura Fernández es revivir la curiosidad, el asombro y la diversión que sentías de pequeña cuando leías aquel libro debajo de las sábanas con la luz de una linterna».Alejandra Lata de Diego, librería Berbiriana (A Coruña) «Como escritora de relatos es genial. De pluma dickiana, con toques de humor al estiloDouglas Adams, Fredric Brown o Robert Sheckley, Laura Fernández es brillante. ¡Leedla!».Antonio Torrubia, librería Gigamesh (Barcelona) «Dejarse llevar por la meticulosa, precisa, irónica, salvaje, divertida prosa de Laura Fernández es un regalo con muchos momentos de felicidad asegurada».Laia Alegret, librería Drac Màgic (Mallorca)«No sabes qué te vas a encontrar ni por dónde te va a salir porque todo es posible. Lo maravilloso de su narrativa es que siempre apela al niño que hay en ti. Y eso, a día de hoy, es impagable».Bernabé Naharro, librería Luces (Málaga) «Si fuera librera, Laura Fernández sería una lectora voraz, entusiasta, selectiva, audaz. Como escritora es además fantasiosa, elegante, dueña de una voz desmitificadora y bienhumorada. Una de las nuestras».Rafael Arias, librería Letras Corsarias (Salamanca)Doppelgangers

&“A remarkable tour de force&” by the acclaimed author and philosopher—a classic science fiction &“thriller with depth&” for fans of…
1984 and Brave New World (The New York Times). After the psychological revolution opened humankind&’s minds to an all-new form of consciousness, society split in two. On the Earth&’s surface rules Alpha, the benevolent, all-powerful dictator who&’s constant ministrations have left his subjects undeniably happy and satisfied but also obedient and unquestioning. Below the surface lies the kingdom of the Mole—the gloomy domain of an even darker and crueler leader. Embittered by his lot underground, he leads his people on a revolt against their obsequious overhead counterparts. And their ultimate weapon is nearly ready—a man who has been genetically and psychologically molded to be a near-perfect double of the Alpha. A covert agent who, once in place, could change the fate of both civilizations—and humanity itself—forever. Both a brilliant examination of human identity, and a gripping science fiction narrative, Doppelgangers is a dystopian novel decades ahead of its time.Yunis y los cien mundos 1 - Natal (Yunis y los cien mundos #Volumen 1)
