Lisa Lee's debut novel AMERICAN HAN is enjoying a fantastic launch. In a starred review, Kirkus says, "Lee's self-aware, relentlessly honest narrator feels absolutely real, and her story cuts deep." Joumana Khatib at The New York Times Book Review has this positively glowing praise: "I am Tom Cruise-on-Oprah's-couch crazy about 'American Han,' . . . one of the best things I've read in ages. . .I realize that describing a novel as having a soulful yet screwball sensibility sounds close to incase, but it's the truth; 'American Han' has a fierce emotional intelligence that also feels hard-won." Meanwhile, BookPage writes, "Lisa Lee's debut [is] a powerfully complex, moving take on one family's answer." The novel is a Most Anticipated Book for Spring 2026 by Harpers Bazaar, who calls it a "compelling character study of a deeply flawed family." It was also chosen by Goodreads Editors for their March Book Picks and was featured on The New York Times Books' Instagram in a post where it was a "Lightning Round" recommendation. In addition, Ron Charles gives a thoughtful and positive review on his Substack ("What looks initially like another story of immigrant striving turns out to be something more unsettling — a family struggling with pain that only one of them can articulate") and Kate Tuttle mentions the novel in the Boston Globe ([American Han] thrums with intelligence and heart as [Lee] chronicles the unruly lives of a Korean American family grasping for an American dream that keeps making them crazy"). Lee was also interviewed on "Writing the Unconscious and Unconventional" for Electric Lit's 2026 winter craft interview series and for Writer’s Digest on writing and publishing her novel. LitHub has included it on their list of “20 new books out today!”, as well as Debutiful, for their “19 Debut Books to Discover from March 2026.” AMERICAN HAN was published by Alongquin on March 31, 2026.

Susanna Kwan’s debut novel AWAKE IN THE FLOATING CITY is one of three finalists for the 2026 PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel. In a statement, 2026 judges Rachel Beanland, Dionne Irving, and Taymour Soomro said: “While these books are very different from one another, they each in their own way speak to loneliness and grief and this sense that, in the midst of so much chaos and loss, we are wired to keep going and to strive for connection and meaning. These books approached some heavy subjects—death, displacement, and even heartbreak—with honesty, humility and humor, and in reading them, we felt cracked open and also maybe, in some small way, hopeful.” The winner will be announced in early April, and all three finalists will be honored on April 26 at the 50th Anniversary PEN/Hemingway Award Ceremony. Pantheon published AWAKE IN THE FLOATING CITY on May 13, 2025.
