The New York Review of Books wrote a rave review for Sarah Manguso’s fiction debut VERY COLD PEOPLE. Reviewer Nicole Rudick writes: “It is difficult to do a lot with a little, and Manguso, a poet as well as an essayist and memoirist, covers quite a bit of distance with a minimum of means…The very forms of Manguso’s books—fragmentary, aphoristic, discrete, or however one chooses to characterize them—resist clear narrative paths, and in doing so they can invite new possibilities...Manguso is wonderful at the slow fade of this blissful innocence, the way it is supplanted by dangers that infiltrate at the fringes of awareness.” Hogarth published the novel on February 8, 2022.
