The Portrait of a Mirror is a 2021 novel by A. Natasha Joukovsky. It is her debut novel. This is a reinvention of the myth of Narcissus into a modern story that is all about manners, as well as two young couples who have lives that overlap over the happening of a summer, all from a new voice in the literary world that you won’t want to miss.

Main characters Diana and Wes are from New York. Anyone who met them might take them as the type of well educated and privileged, self-involved New Yorkers that you probably don’t want to like but at the same time on the inside cannot stop yourself from hoping that they like you.

Wes was good looking in a boyish type of fashion, the type of man who was unmistakably of blue blood pedigree. His tech startup had also made a tidy valuation recently, and all of this together paired with his manner meant that most women would have been thrilled to take him on as a partner. With the exception of perhaps his current wife.

Diana is brilliant and to the point of cunning and has her own little powerhouse of charms. Many of them she chooses to deploy at will against her husband Wes as they constantly go back and forth, whether it is over a war of their wills or just simply some rhetorical sparring fests.

Then there is the other couple, Vivien and Dale. They both reside in the city of Philadelphia together and they have the same shared ties of prep schools and management consulting firms as the other couple. You can immediately see that the two couples are on par and at the same level as each other.

Vivien and Dale seem like they are the perfect couple who have everything. They have set a wedding date for the future and have carefully put together their life as a couple. On social media and to the outside eye, the two of them seem picture-perfect. But of course everyone knows that appearances can be deceiving.

When Vivien gets hired as a visiting curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Diana is at the same time beginning a consulting project in Philadelphia. It’s only inevitable that the paths of the two couples are going to cross. In the summer of 2015, the couples become interested by the other and while they know how to act, they have become too overcome by desire to be able to figure out what they want.

In this entertaining debut, the author puts together an interesting picture of how modern romance can look in high society couples. She is able to get the reader to feel sympathy for these fictional people even as she lampoons them on the page. Smart, shrewd, witty and full of humor, this is one fictional debut that you will want to check out!

Medium Rare is a 2026 novel by A. Natasha Joukovsky. Combining tragedy and comedy, this work transforms the myth of Icarus and takes it through a modern revitalization featuring B-list fame, bureaucracy, and college basketball. If you’re looking for a fun as well as funny new book to read, you cannot go wrong with Medium Rare.

Main character Phil is an ordinary guy. He’s a mid-level Washington lobbyist for an organization that is not that appealing. He also happens to be unhappy, but in the same kind of way that men who have achieved a moderate level of success but do not have all that much influence are. But all that is about to start picking up and changing as of spring of 2019.

Phil makes some selections for the NCAA March Madness Tournament, and to his surprise they actually are working out. Everyone starts paying attention to him as this happens, and he’s starting to wonder whether he might actually do it– whether he can predict a bracket perfectly and win a billion dollar prize as a result.

In the beginning, Cassandra just wants to go along for the ride. It doesn’t surprise her that any of this is happening because she predicted that it would– she had foreseen it. Even though she’d moved with different circles since they spent their time at university, and despite the fact that Cassandra had never really cared for Phil, she sees in him the creating of a legend in real time that is equivalent to high art.

Despite this, Cassandra can’t predict that she would start to care about Raleigh, Phil’s wife. Will this change things and how the narrative arc unfolds? What will it cost? Full of humor and a completely unique story, find out how things work out for Cassandra, Phil and Raleigh by reading this wonderful modern interpretation of an older story and see how Joukovsky puts her own mark and twist on it!
