Olivia Laing's EVERYBODY received a glowing review from The Washington Post. Aziz Huq praises: "[EVERBODY] brims with empathy…Laing has written a piercing book. That she has no final answer to the problem of freedom does not detract from her achievement. Indeed, she encourages us all to ask new questions to discover how it feels, and what it means, to be free — queries that are as vital as they are resistant to any single answer." W.W. Norton & Company published the book on May 4, 2021.

Praise has been flooding in for Joss Lake's debut novel FUTURE FEELING. A feature profile of the author in The Cut praises the book's "flamboyant surreality" and its vision of a world in which "everyone’s spiritual state is highly surveilled and fantastically color-coded... Subway cars glow the amalgamated color of their passengers’ moods. Emotional frequencies are of the utmost importance." FUTURE FEELING has also been featured in a slew of summer reading roundups, including Refinery29 ("a riotously glistering world"), Wired ("an original, trippy caper"), Bustle (“[a] Black Mirror-esque story of magic and mayhem”), Alta ("illustrates the significance of community and connection"), and The A.V. Club (“this witty, inventive debut novel sounds like a lot of fun”), as well as Pride Month reading lists from Goodreads, Harper's BAZAAR, and Parade. Soft Skull published the book on June 1, 2021.

LOVE AND FURY by Samantha Silva received a glowing review in The Wall Street Journal. Sam Sacks praises the book’s “stirring and occasionally hagiographic episodes,” adding: “While the novel is decidedly an homage, it is also a study of false steps and evolving ideas.” Flatiron Books published the novel on May 25, 2021.

Max Barry’s THE 22 MURDERS OF MADISON MAY received a glowing review from Kirkus. They write: “[Barry is] endlessly inventive and entertaining… A very clever, unpredictable little murder mystery with some bittersweet tones about the things we do for love.” G.P. Putnam’s Sons will publish the book on July 6, 2021.

Booklist calls BECOMING A WRITER, STAYING A WRITER by J. Michael Straczynski "[a] funny and candid guide to the writing life." BenBella Books will publish the book on June 1, 2021.

Alex McElroy’s debut novel THE ATMOSPHERIANS received a great review from the Washington Post. They call the book “a sharp-edged view of how contemporary gender politics have changed culture,” offering “trenchant commentary on our society’s fraught gender dynamics.” Vanity Fair also listed the novel on its recommended reads for May, raving: “The novel balances perfectly on the razor’s edge between reality and absurdism, the place where excellent satire dwells, while spinning a complex investigation of huge topics: guilt, culpability, loyalty, sexism, fatphobia, abuse of power…. It is a book about craving—fame, food, praise, each other, ourselves—and it is a book to be devoured.” Atria Books published the novel on May 18, 2021.

EVERYBODY by Oliva Laing continues to gain glowing reviews. The New Yorker raves: "EVERYBODY possesses a looseness, richness, and abundance of originality…One does not expect a political study to perform such sharp close readings of art and literature, or to describe emotions so elegantly…Line by line and thought by thought, Laing writes with surgical discipline." Meanwhile, The Guardian writes: “Laing’s impassioned commitment to the promise of bodily freedom, of every body’s right to move and feel and love without harming or being harmed, shines through every sentence of the book. But she is too canny a writer to miss the rich and bitter irony in which efforts to realise this promise so often get caught: every movement to liberate the body comes to be marked in some way by the constrictive regime it’s trying to escape.” W.W. Norton & Company published the book on May 4, 2021.

THE PARIAH, the first installment in Anthony Ryan’s next epic trilogy, earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly. They write: “Ryan impresses with this fantasy trilogy opener…[He] makes buy-in easy thanks to three-dimensional characters and intelligent prose that grips from the opening sentence…Gritty and well-drawn, this makes a rich treat for George R.R. Martin fans.” Orbit will publish the book on August 24, 2021.

Alex McElroy’s debut novel THE ATMOSPHERIANS has received its second starred review. Library Journal calls the book “[a] droll tale of self-examination and self-help run amok, culminating in an unexpected conclusion. Highly recommended.” Atria Books will publish the novel on May 18, 2021.

Adam Soto’s debut novel, THIS WEIGHTLESS WORLD, has received an incredible endorsement from Kawai Strong Washburn, PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author of SHARKS IN THE TIME OF SAVIORS. Washburn raves: “At once utterly ambitious, moving, and intimate, THIS WEIGHTLESS WORLD stretches from domestic protests to centuries-distant planets, all while exploring the delicate hopes of its characters. I couldn't stop reading. The ending was unforgettable. I can't believe Soto pulled it off!” Astra House will publish the novel on November 9, 2021.
