Sarah Manguso’s LIARS has been longlisted for the 2025 Joyce Carol Oates Prize. The prize annually honors a mid-career fiction writer whose work speaks to the mission and vision of New Literary Project. This prize is awarded not in recognition of a book, but for an author: an already emerged and still emerging author of national consequence—short stories and/or novels—at the relatively middle stage of a burgeoning career. The winner receives a $50,000 award to encourage and support forthcoming work. Finalists are expected to be named in March 2025, and the winner in April 2025. Hogarth published LIARS on July 23, 2024.

HABITATIONS by Shiela Sundar received a fantastic review from Singapore Unbound. Reviewer Kristin T. Lee raves: “[W]hile HABITATIONS is very much an immigrant novel, there is a broad appeal in how it plumbs the unspoken wants of the human heart. Loneliness, the unremitting pain of losing a loved one, the constraints of familial obligation, the yearning towards freedom—these universal themes are explored with tender authenticity…With intelligent social commentary, wise insight into the human heart, and refined prose, HABITATIONS sings a quiet refrain of loss, longing, striving, and devotion—a subtle showstopper of a novel.” Simon & Schuster published the book on April 2, 2024.
