The sixty-fifth anniversary Penguin Classics Black Spine edition of THE BEST OF EVERYTHING by Rona Jaffe is the first book on Lit Hub’s “16 New Books to Check Out this Week” list. It was also featured in The Atlantic’s “One Story to Read Today” daily newsletter, where Apoorva Tadepalli writes: “Young women everywhere could relate to the experience of juggling all the things they were expected to achieve in order to finally make it and be happy. The book gave voice to their specific desires, even as it tapped into the hardships of moving to a new city, starting a life alone, and grasping, by turns, for connection and independence.” Kirkus Reviews Fiction Editor Laurie Muchnick also commented on the book’s timelessness, noting that she was “blown away by Jaffe’s sharp, fizzy writing; her pointed analysis of women’s roles and restrictions; and her matter-of-fact depiction of sexual harassment in the workplace decades before the Clarence Thomas hearings or #MeToo.” The New Yorker staff writer Rachel Syme, who wrote the introduction to the reissue (which can be found on The New Yorker website), and author Maris Kreizman will be holding a free discussion on the book on March 17 at 6pm at Rizzoli. Penguin Classics published the book on March 14, 2023.
