After the Rapture is a book full of surprise and wonder, a compelling and majestic book.” – Robert Vaughan, author of Askew, Funhouse and Addicts & Basements A dazzling oscillation of scintillating prose, on the threshold between the ephemeral and the eternal. Stohlman dares to venture into an intricate mosaic of layered, futuristic identities, individualities, and lives both wasted and yet fully explored. “ After The Rapture is a startling, rhapsodic, brilliant tome. After the Rapture is a rapture!” – Kim Chinquee, three-time Pushcart Prize winner, author of seven collections and the novel, PIPETTE Redeeming and heart-felt, this dystopian novel-in-flashes is one not to forget. The rapture becomes more than just a rapture: it’s a world turning on its head, acceptance, and then finding a new normal. “In this world of Walmarts, Barbies, Kens, orgies/time-shares, 7-11s, clones, a red Lake Michigan, and dreams, Nancy Stohlman’s humor and talent shines. It’s a story about India today, and people impacted by globalization everywhere: a tale of ambition, longing, and bitter loss that asks what it really costs to try and build a dream. Written from the perspectives of ten different characters, Oindrila Mukherjee’s incisive debut novel explores class divisions, gender roles, and stories of survival within a society that is constantly changing and becoming increasingly Americanized. Ultimately, it will take an unexpected tragic event for Maneka and those around her to finally understand just how fragile life is in this city built on aspirations. The booming city of Hrishipur where her father now lives is nothing like the part of the country where she grew up, and the more she sees of this new, sparkling city, the more she learns that nothing―and no one―here is as it appears. Genre: Literary Fiction / World Literature – IndiaĪfter living in the US for years, Maneka Roy returns home to India to mourn the loss of her mother and finds herself in a new world. Here’s my list of indie books to look out for in early 2023. No matter if you’re in the mood for poetic prose, informative nonfiction, or a deeper entrenchment into the earth for every second we’re still alive here, this list has something for you. When I saw what kind of wonder was expected out of these smaller to mid-sized publishers in early 2023, I knew I had to share them with you. It’s one of the main things you’ll find in common with so many of them: a love of books and a desire for them to be read widely. These presses care a ton about their authors and their books. And for the beginning of next year, they look incredible. You don’t see a lot of anticipated indie lists because not all indies make their books available early.īut hey, some do. The indie publishing landscape looks a bit different than what you see out of the Big Five (or Four/Three/Two/One), especially when it comes to books for pre-order. Like a far-off time, an impossible arrival date.
Which great books from indie presses and indie authors are coming out in early 2023?Ģ023 sounds like a year from the future.
