Flux

Jinwoo Chong

Flux is a mind-twister that follows three seemingly separate characters whose lives become interconnected in a major way. Some parts of the narrative might feel a little disorienting at first, but there’s always this subtle trust that everything will come together. The twists in Flux are totally earned, with Jinwoo Chong carefully drip-feeding you details that build toward big reveals without ever making you feel cheated or like he’s making things up on the fly. His writing is sharp and economical, planting clues early that pay off later, all while keeping you guessing until the end.

The Trees

Percival Everett

Originally published in 2021 and shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize, The Trees follows two detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as they’re called in to look into a bizarre string of murders.

But the elements of mystery and surreal chaos that Everett weaves in will have you questioning everything.
