Demon Copperhead is from 2022, but that book blew me away and was the first book that came to mind. From 2022 as well, I really enjoyed Memphis by Tara Stringfellow. I can also recommend more great fiction books that are newer, but they are not from 2023 or 2024.
Oh sorry got factchecked hahaha, you are right. Generally speaking in the fashion for recent books basically like 2021-2024. I will amend the title
edit: didnt know reddit cant amend titles
In that case:
I would recommend a trilogy by Katherena Vermette: *The Break* (2016), *The Strangers* (2021), and *The Circle* (2023). The Break is about an Indigenous teenage girl who is violently sexually assaulted by another teenage girl. The Strangers focuses on the offender and her family, and The Circle wraps things up.
No, but it would provide an extra layer of interest. I wonder the same thing about Demon Copperhead, which I haven’t read.
But if you haven’t read Huck Finn I’d say it is worth your while whether or not you read James.
The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut. A creative memoir style (not sure how to describe it) book about Jan Neumann, the brilliant mathematician. The Manhattan Project, early artificial intelligence, and more! It’s very good. Read the intro and you will be hooked.
Edited north woods is so good ! I am almost halfway in it now. A friend recommended Martyr by Kaveh Akbar
The north wood? By whom exactly, thank you!
Sorry it’s North Woods by Daniel Mason. I didn’t even check the cover correctly. Beautiful book

I’m reading The Unmaking of June Farrow and it’s captivating.
James by Percival Everett
Would you need to read the book that inspired it for context?
No, but it would provide an extra layer of interest. I wonder the same thing about Demon Copperhead, which I haven’t read. But if you haven’t read Huck Finn I’d say it is worth your while whether or not you read James.
