Kenza recommends No God But Us by Bobuq Sayed!

"A book so good that I found myself slowing down to savor the intensity of every feeling. The lives of two q***r Afghans- Delbar, a recent college grad in the U.S., & Mansur, a refugee in Iran- collide in Istanbul. You can hear how their voices ache with the hungers of loneliness, alienation, & desire & Sayed's writing makes the sorrow worth feeling. The glinting silver earring in the roundabout stays with me still."

08/26/2026

We're a month away from our in-store event with Rin Reczek in conversation with Clayton Howard!

Families We Lose charts novel territory for the future of family in the 21st century, creating a new understanding of why people become "no contact" or estranged from their family, where estrangement is sparked by a confrontation between the traditional culture—which demands the family of origin is unconditionally forever—and a rivaling idea of family that values the quality of contact, focusing on equity, accountability, personal and relationship evolution, mutual respect, and maturity.

🔗 We hope to see you at 6:30pm on Friday, September 25! RSVP for free at the link in our bio.
