Lucy Cooke’s latest book received a rave review in The Guardian, which calls it “A bold and gripping takedown of the sexist mythology baked into biology… Bitch is so full of marvellous surprises about sex roles that I sensed Cooke herself was transformed in its writing.” Basic Books will publish the book in the US on June 14, 2022.

The Wall Street Journal reviewed Andrew Rice’s book about the 2000 election, THE YEAR THAT BROKE AMERICA, deeming it “an engaging, deftly constructed but conspicuously partisan account of the brief period that changed the United States for the worse.” HarperCollins published the book on February 22, 2022.

THE MOVEMENT MADE US by David Dennis Jr. in collaboration with his father, David Dennis Sr., received a glowing review from Publishers Weekly.

Cleyvis Natera’s highly anticipated debut NERUDA ON THE PARK received a positive review from Kirkus. They praise: “Natera plays with definitions of home and material and spiritual success, showing how the personal and political can become confused even when a cause, or a crime, seems straightforward. A savvy melodrama, warmhearted and as astute as a lawyer’s brief.” Ballantine Books will publish the novel on May 17, 2022.

THE MOVEMENT MADE US, the forthcoming book by Black Lives Matter icon David Dennis Jr. in collaboration with his father, David Dennis Sr., received a Kirkus starred review that heralds the book as “[t]imely in an era of renewed disenfranchisement and an instructive, important addition to the literature of civil rights.” Harper will publish the book on May 10, 2022.

HOW YOU GET FAMOUS by Nicole Pasulka received a glowing review from Library Journal. Reviewer Rosy Brewer writes: “Journalist Pasulka has put together a lively and intricate history of drag…An entertaining, absorbing behind-the-scenes look at drag that will especially appeal to fans of [RUPAUL’S] DRAG RACE and the TV drama POSE.” Simon & Schuster will publish the book on June 7, 2022.

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.

On the day of its release, Laura Kipnis' LOVE IN THE TIME OF CONTAGION received a glowing review in The New York Times from Molly Young. Young writes: “Dance like nobody’s watching. Love like there’s no tomorrow. Write like nobody’s going to cancel you. This is the way of Laura Kipnis…[S]cooting around Kipnis’ mind feels like eating the world’s finest trail mix: no dud raisins to shift aside, only M&Ms and the fancier nuts…[LOVE IN THE TIME OF CONTAGION] is perfectly equidistant between riff and investigation.” Pantheon published the book on February 8, 2022.

THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING by David Graeber and David Wengrow received an enthusiastic review from ArtForum. Simon Wu writes: "The premise is exhilarating, and its implications are only beginning to be considered…[Y]ou get the sense that a political consciousness is an artistic consciousness. This view enables us to look at works of art with renewed optimism, as little windows into alternative ways of living rather than 'artificial hells’…At a moment when so many artists, curators, and academics are eager to ‘decenter the human’ in their work, THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING invites us to do the (much harder) job of reframing the braided questions of what humankind was, is, and could be." Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book on November 9, 2021.

The New York Times Book Review praises THE NEXT CIVIL WAR by Stephen Marche. Reviewer Ian Bassin writes: “[THE NEXT CIVIL WAR] should be required reading for anyone invested in preserving our 246-year experiment in self-government...The book alternates between fictional dispatches from a coming social breakdown and digressions that support its predictions with evidence from the present. The effect is twofold: The narrative delivers Cormac McCarthy-worthy drama; while the nonfictional asides imbue that drama with the authority of documentary.” Simon & Schuster published the book on January 4, 2022.
