The Intercept is reading a diverse array of fiction works. One such book is "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Keigo Higashino, a Japanese mystery writer who passed away. This novel, which puts a dark twist on a story about loyalty and the obligations that come with it, stays with the reader long after finishing it. Another recommended read is "Good People" by Patmeena Sabit, a novel that initially seems like a true crime beach read but is actually a beautiful portrayal of community, family tragedy, and the court of public opinion.
It also serves as a reminder to be proud of being a nation of immigrants, despite the current political climate. "Questions 27 & 28" by Karen Tei Yamashita is another suggested read. This novel brings new life to the infamous concentration camps for Japanese Americans during WWII, exploring the relevance of these events in today's context.
It uses a unique structure, with questions at the center that make up the novel's title. Lastly, "The Vivisectors" by Missouri Williams is also recommended. This novel takes place in a dystopian college town and is a deeply romantic and humorous take on relationships, making it a unique and engaging read.
