TAKE WHAT YOU NEED by Idra Novey
Financial Times gave Idra Novey's TAKE WHAT YOU NEED a rave review. Reviewer Arin Keeble writes: "[TAKE WHAT YOU NEED] depicts the complexities of a contemporary America whose divisions are often crudely defined. It is an excoriating critique of the violence of MAGA culture that also urges caution at the assumptions one might make of those caught in its currents...That Novey is a novelist, poet, translator and professor is unsurprising, as this textured and compelling novel is redolent of a real depth of experience. TAKE WHAT YOU NEED is a major novel of contemporary America that urgently reminds us of the messiness and complexity of people, love and intimacy." The novel was also reviewed in Spectator, where reviewer Susie Mesure raves: "On the strength of Novey’s third novel, TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, an adept tale about an estranged stepmother and daughter set in a fictional former steel town in Appalachia, all writers should heed her advice. In spare, affecting prose, she moves effortlessly between her two first-person narrators…Novey’s own fairy tale similarities are plentiful and purposeful as she explores the polarisations in American society alongside what it means to ‘make art.’" Meanwhile, Granta published Novey’s short story “Conversations with My Father.” Viking published the book on March 14, 2023.

Either answer could be right.” Mariner Books published the novel on July 11, 2023.
