Gavin Corbett’s THIS IS THE WAY was reviewed positively in Publishers Weekly and Electric Literature. Electric Literature said: “After the fashion of Beckett, Corbett gives us language that is its own form of mysticism.” Publishers Weekly also said: “Corbett is brilliant at creating an utterly original—and beautiful—language to portray this young man’s alienation from the world. An inventive and beguiling book.” Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book March 5, 2013.

Manuel Gonzales’ THE MINIATURE WIFE AND OTHER STORIES was declared a “striking debut collection” by the Washington Post, saying, “Gonzales shares [George] Saunders’s hopscotching inventiveness, but his view is even darker and more savage. The result is a superior collection of writing and a signpost of emerging talent with a strong and distinctive voice.” Kirkus featured Gonzales in an in-depth interview, calling his stories “funny, confident, weird, inquisitive and inviting; he doesn’t traffic in surrealism just for surrealism’s sake.” Riverhead published the book this January 10, 2013.

Jim Gavin’s MIDDLE MEN was praised in reviews by Vogue, the New York Times, ZYZZVA, The Millions, and was also reviewed on-air by Oscar Villalon for his weekly public radio show, “The California Report.” Vogue named the book one of its twelve “Essentials for Airplane Travel,” while in another feature on breakout fiction, they called the book a "dryly funny, classically American collection" and noted that "these stories are perhaps most remarkable for their astute self-awareness, especially in recognizing the inability of irony to change the characters’ circumstances."

Derek B. Miller’s NORWEGIAN BY NIGHT was reviewed positively in Publishers Weekly and the Guardian, which said, “Funny and moving as well as thoroughly gripping, this is crime fiction of the highest order.” Publishers Weekly called the book a “study in character” and praised its “moments of humor.” Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will publish in the U.S. on May 21, 2013.

Stuart Nadler’s WISE MEN was praised in The Rumpus: “With beautiful sentences and richly imagined characters, WISE MEN contains echoes of previous great American novels, but makes a focused effort at originality. It evokes THE GREAT GATSBY, of course, but also TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD...the book paints a moving, authentic portrait of what can happen when concealed secrets collide with ignorance.” Reagan Arthur Books published the book February 5, 2013.

Carlene Bauer’s FRANCES AND BERNARD was reviewed positively in the Washington Post, which raves that, “[Bauer] writes with authority and gusto about issues of faith. The prose here is exquisite, winding between narrative momentum and lofty introspection.” Houghton Mifflin Harcourt published the book February 5, 2013.

Tom Wolfe’s BACK TO BLOOD audio edition received a starred review in Booklist: “This marvelous production of Wolfe’s latest romp features not only [Lou Diamond] Phillips’ spot-on reading but a sprinkling of Latin and rap music to mark chapters and begin and end each disc.” Little, Brown published the book October 23, 2012.
