Hyper is a remarkable novel by @agri.bsky.social recommended by @c4noff.bsky.social, whose @coffeehousepress.bsky.social subscription introduces books she might not ever find on her own. For both of us, Hyper is a happy discovery. I've reviewed it at readthinkdraw.substack.com/p/2nd-genera...

"Haber creates a character that encapsulates all the follies and cruelties of inherited wealth and turns it into a work of hilarious beauty." - Michael Kennan Gutierrez, Southern Review of Books
"Haber is more empathetic toward his ridiculous tyrant than you’d expect, and that’s what moves the story from a stylistic exercise and absurdist concoction toward an unexpected end that moved me." New review of ADA by Mark Haber. @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

An absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 review of ELECTRIC SHAMANS: "The power of the novel lies in the beauty and skill of Ojeda’s language, which boils complex philosophical ideas down into short aphorisms and laces them together into flowing, poetic monologues reminiscent of the best of Virginia Woolf."
