AMONG THE BROS by Max Marshall was highlighted by The Guardian, where Sarah Hagi writes: “AMONG THE BROS has been pitched as a salacious true crime thriller about young men running wild. But Marshall uses the drug ring to show how the fraternity ethos shapes elite societies as a whole, beyond the College of Charleston: with impunity…Above all, Marshall’s book explores coming of age in a world that will not hold you accountable, even by law enforcement. Harper published the book on November 7, 2023.
Max Marshall’s AMONG THE BROS was excerpted in Vanity Fair and and received a positive review in The New York Times, which says “Told with journalistic integrity, a sense of humor and gruesome detail, Mikey Schmidt’s rise from try-hard to big-time drug lord is as breathtaking to witness as the ring’s takedown, in a 2016 bust that uncovers tens of millions of dollars’ worth of illegal drugs.” Harper published the hardcover November 7, 2023.
Hailed by the New York Times as Thurston Moore’s Electrifying History Lesson, Thurston Moore’s memoir details his long career and the music that shaped him. ‘Moore is an unabashed nerdy enthusiast. He writes about music in a breathless gush of hyperbole that proves almost too infectious [. . .] Moore’s depiction of pre-gentrification Manhattan’s post-punk bohemia is richly evocative and Sonic Life’s highlight.' notes The Guardian. Doubleday published the hardcover October 24, 2023.
From the founding member of Sonic Youth, a passionate memoir tracing the author’s life and art — from his teen years as a music obsessive in small-town Connecticut, to the formation of his legendary rock group, to thirty years of creation, experimentation, and wonder. As Leah Greenblatt says, “ Think about preordering the upcoming memoir “Sonic Life,” by Thurston Moore, the rangy guitarist and alt-culture raconteur who co-founded the noise gods Sonic Youth? Literary fans like Colson Whitehead and Jonathan Lethem have already come out to praise the offhand wit and textured grit of Moore’s glimpse into a vanished world of analog art-stardom, from late-’70s happenings in the South Bronx with Jenny Holzer to touring Europe in the early ’90s with a ragtag trio of pre-“Smells Like Teen Spirit” misfits called Nirvana.” Doubleday published the hardcover October 24, 2023.
