Laura Kipnis' forthcoming book, LOVE IN THE TIME OF CONTAGION, received glowing praise from Publishers Weekly. In their review, they write: “Cultural critic Kipnis (UNWANTED ADVANCES) takes a wry and thought-provoking look at modern trends in sex and relationships. In essays that wander far afield without losing sight of their central topic, the author interweaves autobiography, cultural criticism, psychology, philosophy, feminism, and gender studies...Though Kipnis’s take on relationship dynamics feels pessimistic and somewhat cynical, she is an ardent and astute interrogator of accepted wisdom. Readers won’t always agree, but they’ll relish grappling with this bracing study of modern life.” Pantheon will publish the book on February 8, 2022.

Tanaïs's forthcoming IN SENSORIUM was lauded by Kirkus Reviews. They rave: "A novelist and perfume maker serves up a lyrical memoir, sensuous and sensual, that crosses decades and continents. Tanaïs, author of the acclaimed novel BRIGHT LINES, brings a millennial sensibility—and a rejection of outmoded mores—to their work as a sharp observer of the world. Refusing old binaries, they move freely among peoples who are bitterly divided...Readers with an interest in such things will learn, through Tanaïs’ elegant prose, just about everything about sandalwood essences, rhododendron incense, and ‘perfume as fluid as language, as lineage, as rivers of sweat’… A heady pleasure of language in love with the author’s many subjects, and perfectly suited to them.” Mariner Books will publish the book on February 22, 2022.
