Brandon Hobson's Devil Is a Southpaw is a genre-bending novel that blends baseball, Indigenous identity, and supernatural elements into a unique exploration of family, legacy, and the stories we inherit. Through a narrative that refuses easy categorization, Hobson examines how personal and cultural histories shape who we become. The novel becomes a meditation on the weight of the past and the possibility of transformation through storytelling.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Hobson understands that the most interesting stories refuse to stay in their lanes. This novel proves that Indigenous literature can be anything it wants to be, mixing baseball with the supernatural to create something entirely its own.
