HOUSE ARREST by Noa Yedlin: A prize-winning, satirical novel that chronicles a scandal enveloping a prominent Jerusalem family and leads to its downfall.

MY DREADFUL BODY by Egana Djabbarova is a Staff Pick at McNally Jackson Books. "A meditation on the body, on illness, on patriarchal norms. This is such a fantastic debut. The writing is great, the story was interesting and thoughtful, and I got a peek into a world—a traditional Azerbaijani community in Russia—I know almost nothing about. Plus one of my favorite recent covers!"

Such a delight to have Egana Djabbarova in the U.S. to present her novel MY DREADFUL BODY, translated by Lisa C. Hayden. Thank you to The Harriman Institute at Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, The New School, Amherst College, and Rhonda Garelick for hosting. Looking forward to having her back soon.
