VERY COLD PEOPLE by Sarah Manguso continues to receive rave reviews following its release. Katy Waldman wrote a glowing review of the novel for The New Yorker, comparing it to Elena Ferrante’s MY BRILLIANT FRIEND and praising: “The book has a fairy-tale quality, a ring of the nursery rhyme… The book’s symmetries, prototypical figures, and brutality heighten the Grimmish mood. You half expect the characters to be devoured by wolves.” Meanwhile, Claire Messud reviewed the book for Harper’s Magazine, raving: “[VERY COLD PEOPLE] is a searing catalogue of pinched bitterness...[W]ith her gemlike apercus, Manguso renders this bleakness oddly fascinating...[She has] a distinctive and pungent style. She is known for her aphoristic precision and intense, adamantine paragraphs. Her novel thus has the effect of a series of sharply focused snapshots.” Hogarth published the novel on February 8, 2022.
