GOLDEN GATES by Conor Dougherty received an enthusiastic review in The Nation. They write: “[GOLDEN GATES] is the latest addition to a slate of books on [the housing crisis] that have come out over the past few years . . . but Dougherty’s is among the first to look squarely at the politics of trying to respond to this disaster . . . GOLDEN GATES helps clarify why we have a housing crisis in the first place.” Penguin Press published the book on February 18, 2020.

Food writer and editor Sanaë Lemoine’s debut novel, THE MARGOT AFFAIR, received a glowing review in the New York Times one week out from its publication. Drawing parallels between the book and the work of Rachel Cusk, Ian McEwan, and Françoise Sagan, critic Sarah Lyall raves: “Even when Margot is at her most misguided, the reader aches for her.

HUSH by Dylan Farrow received a positive review in the School Library Journal.

Jennifer Hofman’s debut novel THE STANDARDIZATION OF DEMORALIZATION PROCEDURES has garnered a starred and boxed review from Publishers Weekly.
