VERY COLD PEOPLE by Sarah Manguso received a stunning review from The Guardian. Reviewer Johanna Thomas-Corr raves: “When I finished VERY COLD PEOPLE, I felt my whole body unclench. In the process of reading this creepy coming-of-age tale, I seemed to have trapped a nerve in my shoulder – it’s that tense...VERY COLD PEOPLE is so different from anything else I’ve read that it feels a bit fatuous to compare it to other works of fiction. We often talk about writers getting under the skin of their characters, but Manguso has a forensic interest in hair follicles, rashes, effluvia and infected cuts…It’s a masterclass in unease. I must confess that I was relieved when the novel was over but it was so skillful, so strange and so unique that I suspect it will stay with me for a very long time.” Hogarth published the novel February 8, 2022.

The New York Times Book Review featured Samantha Hunt’s nonfiction debut, THE UNWRITTEN BOOK, on its shortlist “Mourning Songs for Lives, and Art, That Could Have Been.” Reviewer Kat Chow writes: “Samantha Hunt’s memoir is a provocative meditation on family and haunting….The reader’s mind reels, in an experience similar to the unfurling of memory and its excavation.” The Washington Post also lauded the book, with reviewer Jake Cline praising: “THE UNWRITTEN BOOK is a memoir and essay collection that finds beauty in impermanence…Hunt gazes into [the] darkness, but she never stops looking for the cracks... It’s a measure of Hunt’s generosity — to the reader, but also to herself — that her answers to [her] questions evolve throughout the book.” Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book on April 5, 2022.

Nada Alic’s short story “Daddy’s Girl,” from her forthcoming collection BAD THOUGHTS, was published as the cover story for This is Badland magazine’s “To Be Free” issue.

Tanaïs sat down for an interview with Harper’s Bazaar about their nonfiction debut, IN SENSORIUM. Reviewer Mathangi Subramanian writes: “In times like these, writers like Tanaïs matter more. Whether it’s through authoring critically acclaimed queer fiction with their novel BRIGHT LINES, successfully navigating the overwhelmingly straight, white perfume industry, or speaking truth to power on social media, Tanaïs carves out space for the rest of us. Their latest book, IN SENSORIUM, continues in this tradition, interweaving the science of perfumery, the voices of freedom-fighting Bangladeshi femmes, and the author’s own experiences as a queer Muslim writer into a narrative that fearlessly envisions liberation. It is, in short, the balm we have always needed.” Harper published the book on February 22, 2022.

Samantha Hunt’s nonfiction debut THE UNWRITTEN BOOK was lauded as a must-read book for April by The Chicago Review of Books. They praise: “Hunt has proved herself a writer of capacious imagination with her elegant short stories and novels. Now she turns that roving eye to a personal inquiry of haunting with this genre-bending nonfiction work centred around an unfinished manuscript written by her father and found days after his death. Blending literary criticism, history, and memoir, THE UNWRITTEN BOOK is sure to appeal to fans of Maggie Nelson and W.G. Sebald.” Farrar, Straus, and Giroux published the book on April 5, 2022.
