NOT VERY DEMURE, NOT VERY MINDFUL: WOMEN ON THE VERGE – FICTION

In POROCHISTA KHAKPOUR’s Tehrangeles: A Novel, the Iranian American Milani family has it all – an L.A. mansion, a snack empire, and four spirited daughters: aspiring model Violet, chaotic influencer Roxanna, online overachiever Mina, and impressionable health fanatic Haylee. But on the verge of landing a reality TV show, the family realizes they all have something to hide. In My First Book, a collection of stories by HONOR LEVY, characters grapple with formative political, existential, and romantic experiences in a web-drenched society on the brink of collapse. Through their inventive and frequently surreal tales, Levy illuminates what it is to be at once heavily medicated, consistently panicked, and completely sincere.
