THOSE WHO KNEW by Idra Novey
January 18, 2019
“A classic murder-mystery trope ignites this clever, sometimes chilling novel,” The New Yorker writes of Idra Novey’s THOSE WHO KNEW in last week’s issue. Novey’s second book, they write, “feels hyper-relevant in a landscape shaped by the #MeToo movement. Its core questions resound: Will there be a reckoning with the misogyny of powerful men? Can their victims overthrow not just individuals but the system that upholds them?” Viking published the book on November 6, 2018.
