The New York Times Book Review featured Samantha Hunt’s nonfiction debut, THE UNWRITTEN BOOK, on its shortlist “Mourning Songs for Lives, and Art, That Could Have Been.” Reviewer Kat Chow writes: “Samantha Hunt’s memoir is a provocative meditation on family and haunting….The reader’s mind reels, in an experience similar to the unfurling of memory and its excavation.” The Washington Post also lauded the book, with reviewer Jake Cline praising: “THE UNWRITTEN BOOK is a memoir and essay collection that finds beauty in impermanence…Hunt gazes into [the] darkness, but she never stops looking for the cracks... It’s a measure of Hunt’s generosity — to the reader, but also to herself — that her answers to [her] questions evolve throughout the book.” Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book on April 5, 2022.

Tanaïs sat down for an interview with Harper’s Bazaar about their nonfiction debut, IN SENSORIUM. Reviewer Mathangi Subramanian writes: “In times like these, writers like Tanaïs matter more. Whether it’s through authoring critically acclaimed queer fiction with their novel BRIGHT LINES, successfully navigating the overwhelmingly straight, white perfume industry, or speaking truth to power on social media, Tanaïs carves out space for the rest of us. Their latest book, IN SENSORIUM, continues in this tradition, interweaving the science of perfumery, the voices of freedom-fighting Bangladeshi femmes, and the author’s own experiences as a queer Muslim writer into a narrative that fearlessly envisions liberation. It is, in short, the balm we have always needed.” Harper published the book on February 22, 2022.
