The Pinochet regime was one of the bloodiest dictatorships in Latin American history, and Fernández condenses the rippling effects of life under Chilean political suppression in the 1980s with this slim novella. Clocking in at under 100 pages, these glimpses of compliance and resistance are all the more vivid for their brevity. Told in snippets through the collective dreams of the former classmates of Estrella, the young daughter of an officer in Pinochet’s regime, each brief chapter echoes small moments in her life: writing letters to her best friend, slipping secret notes to her crush, playing Space Invaders, watching her father remove his prosthetic hand at the dinner table, and then one day disappearing from class without notice. ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau

Set in Texas, these short stories are odd scraps of messy relationships told with one of the strongest debut voices I’ve read in a long while. Parsons’ sparse descriptions and intimate details are immediately satisfying. Whether they’re discovering their sexual selves in scuzzy motels or searching roadside cow pastures for hallucinogenic mushrooms, her characters are boldly and seductively amplified. Keep an eye on this one. ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau

A comedic book at heart, this is perhaps my favorite cocktail guide. These recipes are full of as much wry wit as rye whiskey, as much dry humor as dry vermouth. McCartney—author of such impulse-buy classics as The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place and The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy—has crafted the perfect counterpoint to all those fussily pretentious mixology books brimming with elaborate, ornate cocktails you’ll never make. Grab some white wine (serving size: one bottle) and start drinking like a normal again! ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau
