Sarah Manguso's debut novel VERY COLD PEOPLE is being recognized as a must-read title of 2022. Oprah Daily featured the book on its list of “The 50 Most Anticipated Books of 2022,” praising: “[A] crystalline, mordant first novel…Manguso puts her own indelible stamp on the literary terrain of John Cheever and Susan Minot, daring to brush against the third rail of class.” Meanwhile, Good Housekeeping featured the book on its “15 Best and Most-Anticipated Books of 2022,” raving: "Midwesterners, New Englanders and anyone from small town America will recognize the contours in this quietly beautiful novel about what it feels like to grow up an outsider. It's a starkly lyrical exploration of the darkness that lies underneath a lily white community with an emotional resonance that sneaks up on you and won't let go." Hogarth will publish the novel on February 8, 2022.
