MCD will publish the book June 15, 2021.

NOW BEACON, NOW SEA by Christopher Sorrentino received a glowing blurb from author Jonathan A. Lethem. He writes: “In memoirs by great novelists, and NOW BEACON, NOW SEA is one, any distance between those arts shrinks, imagination and testimony lending prose the clarity of an engraving. Put this accomplishment with Roth’s Patrimony, Schwartz’s LEAVING BROOKLYN, Gornick’s FIERCE ATTACHMENTS, Conroy’s STOP-TIME, books in which the necessity of commanding trauma onto the page has galvanized the language from within.” Catapult will publish the book on September 7, 2021.

Sharon Stone’s memoir, THE BEAUTY OF LIVING TWICE, is the number 1 entry on O, The Oprah Magazine's list of “20 of the Best Books to Pick Up This March.” They rave: "[T]his is not your typical Hollywood autobiography.

Kendra Allen’s debut poetry collection, THE COLLECTION PLATE, received a glowing endorsement from HEAVY and HOW TO SLOWLY KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN AMERICA author Kiese Laymon. He writes: “THE COLLECTION PLATE is as close as we can get to those looming Black spaces beyond and before language. A book shouldn't be able to do this, but Kendra Allen is a conjurer as much as she is one of the most complete writers we have ever read.” Ecco will publish the collection on July 6, 2021.

GOOP announced this week that Meg Mason’s debut novel, SORROW AND BLISS, has been selected as their March Book Club Pick. They write: “SORROW AND BLISS is a modern love story that’s funny and dark, sharp and tender, hopeful and hard to put down.
