Publishers Weekly reviewed FIGURE IT OUT, describing it as an “inventive collection” where “themes of sexuality and gender are pervasive, typically in eye-catching declarations.” Soft Skull will publish the book on May 5, 2020.

In a strong review of THE PRETTIEST STAR, Publishers Weekly calls the book “a heartfelt novel” and writes: “Sickels is at his best in his characters’ most painful moments . . .

Hub City Press will publish the book on April 14, 2020.

FUNNY WEATHER by Olivia Laing is one of Buzzfeed’s Most Anticipated Books of 2020.

Norton & Company will publish the book on May 12, 2020.
