MADELINE WALLACE

In fiction, literary and upmarket fiction; coming-of-age novels from adult perspectives that resist tropes and offer engrossing, offbeat perspectives; intergenerational sagas; novels with distinct sociopolitical contexts; stories with elements of satire and/or surrealism; anything with a biting sense of humor; literary fiction interwoven with suspense; stories that are multidimensional and progressive. In nonfiction, narrative nonfiction that explores some facet of pop culture, particularly celebrity and/or fandom, through a critical lens; intimate narratives that interrogate institutions and systems; books that grapple with the relationship between food and body image; literary memoirs that excavate surprising personal histories.
