Adrian Tomine, The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist
(Drawn & Quarterly)
“A hilarious, frequently cringe-inducing masterpiece from a fearless artist at the height of his powers.”
–Library Journal
Catherine Lacey, Pew
(FSG)
“An ambitious, powerful fable of identity and belief . . . Lacey’s talent shines in this masterful work, her best yet.”
–Publishers Weekly
Nicholson Baker, Baseless
(Penguin Press)
“…ever articulate and witty … For readers who care about government openness, the narrative will be simultaneously illuminating and profoundly depressing.”
–Kirkus
Maggie O’Farrell, Hamnet
(Knopf)
“This striking, painfully lovely novel captures the very nature of grief.”
–Booklist
Emma Donoghue, The Pull of the Stars
(Little, Brown)
“Emma Donoghue takes the stuff of a newspaper headline as a starting point, and expands and transforms its core element into an original and arresting work of fiction.”
–The Times Literary Supplement
Kathy Acker, Portrait of an Eye
(Grove Press)
“Kathy Acker’s trancelike writing style peels away the layers of reality… Acker is an expert at evoking this shadowy realm of belief and emotion where the rules of cause and effect do not necessarily apply.”
–San Francisco Chronicle
Chris Frantz, Remain in Love
(St. Martin’s Press)
“Frantz’s absorbing, vivid book will reward Talking Heads fans and those interested in the postpunk and 1980s mu-sic scene.”
–Library Journal
Justin Taylor, Riding With the Ghost
(Random House)
“Here, the author shows the precision and command of tone that has informed the best of his stories, but there’s something more at stake—for both the writer and his readers.”
–Kirkus
Rachel Cohen, Austen Years
(FSG)
“A thoughtful meditation on the interweaving of literature and life . . . [Cohen] analyzes [Austen’s novels] with astute sensitivity.”
–Kirkus
James Hamblin, Clean
(Riverhead Books)
“[A] breezy social history with a health angle, an easy read by a charming, sassy author.”
–The Wall Street Journal
David Dayen, Monopolized
(New Press)
“Dayen makes a persuasive argument that reining in big business should be a priority for American voters and policy makers. This is an incisive, irrefutable call to action.”
–Publishers Weekly
Robert J. Mrazek, The Indomitable Florence Finch
(Hachette)
“A crisp chronicle….WWII buffs will relish this inside look at life under Japanese occupation.”
–Publishers Weekly
Linda Scott, The Double X Economy
(FSG)
“In a world where so many of us stick safely to criticising the status quo, it’s heartening to read someone willing to offer viable solutions.”
–The Observer
Colin Dickey, The Unidentified
(Viking)
“Dickey succeeds in informing and entertaining his audience with his sense of wonder, rather than frightening them.”
–Library Journal
Josh Malerman, Malorie
(Del Rey)
“Malerman masterfully evokes apocalyptic horrors via understatement and suggestion while facilitating suspension of disbelief through nuanced characterization and thoughtful worldbuilding.”
–Publishers Weekly
