THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE by Tara Isabella Burton
THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE by Tara Isabella Burton is accumulating a wealth of positive press in the lead-up to its publication. The novel was featured on Entertainment Weekly’s must-read list for March, praised as “equal parts dangerous and delicious.” Vogue describes the novel as “THE SECRET HISTORY meets THE PRICE OF SALT,” while The Millions describes it as “THE SECRET HISTORY meets FIGHT CLUB, but younger, more feminine, more queer,” and Harper’s Bazaar “THE GIRLS meets FIGHT CLUB...plung[ing] readers into a vortex of dark academia and queer desire." Booklist’s review of the novel raves: “Burton writes with a heart-stopping understanding of the micro-dynamics among adolescents still uncentered at their cores. The insular campus setting and small scenes in crypts, libraries, and dorm rooms contain big emotions and powerful dialogue...Burton skillfully offers readers treacherous and believable adolescent experiences surrounding sex and suicide.” Lastly, Vanity Fair’s March preview praising the way “Burton harnesses the fresh desire of teenage-dom in this story of a boarding school on the coast of Maine.” Simon & Schuster will publish the book on March 8, 2022.
