Amina Cain’s INDELICACY has been roundly praised this month. The Guardian writes: “INDELICACY is a thing of real delicacy, with a fine, distilled quality to the writing, every word precisely chosen, precisely placed. There’s a slyness to Cain’s writing that cuts through, and makes the tale increasingly engrossing.” The Irish Times calls the book “[a]n extraordinary feminist fable about women and art.” Meanwhile, The Financial Times writes: “There are remarkable things in this book…Perhaps it was always Cain’s intention to draw in busy readers quickly and easily, then suspend us, helpless and happy, in the extraordinary world she has created, unmoored in time or place.” Farrar, Straus, and Giroux published the book on February 11, 2020.

Jeremy England, author of EVERY LIFE IS ON FIRE, published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal titled “The Creator’s Calling Card.” He writes: “[L]ife itself is perhaps the best expression of transcendent intention in the arrangement of this world. But if that’s true, isn’t explaining life’s natural origins through science the most effective way to debunk biblical religion?...As a physicist and Orthodox rabbi, I sit right in the middle of this dilemma.” Basic Books published EVERY LIFE IS ON FIRE on September 15, 2020.

Former New Yorker staff writer and investigative journalist Becky Cooper’s true crime debut, WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE, earned a pair of glowing reviews this week. In a starred review, Kirkus calls the book “[a]n intricately crafted and suspenseful book sure to please any fan of true crime—and plenty of readers beyond.” Meanwhile, Booklist notes: “In her work of excavation, Cooper seeks ideas of power and truth, and the outer limits of our human desire to be present, somehow, in the past.” Grand Central Publishing will publish the book on November 10, 2020.
