Maggie Millner has won the “5 Under 35” honor from the National Book Foundation for her debut work COUPLETS: A LOVE STORY. The book was selected by C Pam Zhang. Praising COUPLETS, she writes: “These words cut to the hot quick of longing; these pages bleed beauty. Tender, prickly, funny, self-effacing, cerebral, erotic, and luminous, this is a book that never settles, forever restless, an ode to that deepest and most abiding form of love — that for one’s many infinite selves.” COUPLETS was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux on February 6, 2024.

Ahead of publication, Ling Ling Huang’s IMMACULATE CONCEPTION is receiving high praise. Booklist has given it a starred review, where Cari Dubiel writes: “Huang’s sophomore outing is just as brilliant and unsettling as NATURAL BEAUTY…[She] is a master of mixing the speculative with the contemporary, harnessing near-future possibilities to show us just how far humanity will go to achieve the impossible while ignoring very real consequences.” The novel was featured on best new books of spring round ups by Bustle and Harper’s Bazaar. The Portland Tribune also covered the upcoming release in a digital article. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION will be published by Dutton on May 13, 2025.
