Catherine Lacey and Miriam Toews

Catherine Lacey, whose previous works of fiction include Pew and Nobody Is Ever Missing, now publishes Biography of X— a roaring epic chronicling the life, times and secrets of a notorious artist. “It is the most ambitious book I’ve ever read from a writer of my own generation,” wrote Torrey Peters.

Miriam Toews, whose previous novel, Women Talking, was recently adapted into a film by Sarah Polley, is now the author of Fight Night. “Her books are steeped in family grief, but somehow these stories are delivered with a mouthful of ash and a lopsided grin, a stubborn sense of the absurd that recalls Philip Larkin and Lorrie Moore and feels like proof of life,” wrote Parul Sehgal.
