Bomb Magazine published a great conversation between TAKE WHAT YOU NEED author Idra Novey and Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi. The Pittsburgh Gazette also published an interview with Novey, as well as a review of TAKE WHAT YOU NEED: “Sixty-four year old Jean, protagonist of Johnstown-native Idra Novey’s recent novel, TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, is willing to die in pursuit of transcendence. This will no doubt keep reader’s attention as Ms. Novey’s third novel […] cares deeply about balancing survival and self-actualization… Idra Novey’s TAKE WHAT YOU NEED is sure to lend readers perspective on living life to the fullest and accepting one’s life as valid, summed best in the book’s Louise Bourgeois epigram: ‘Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it, and then if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.’” Viking published the novel on March 14, 2023.

I’m going to use a real North Carolina town, and it’ll be set in the ‘80s. No murders this time, but there will be deaths.” Bloomsbury published DECENT PEOPLE on January 17, 2023.

The sixty-fifth anniversary Penguin Classics Black Spine edition of THE BEST OF EVERYTHING by Rona Jaffe is the first book on Lit Hub’s “16 New Books to Check Out this Week” list. It was also featured in The Atlantic’s “One Story to Read Today” daily newsletter, where Apoorva Tadepalli writes: “Young women everywhere could relate to the experience of juggling all the things they were expected to achieve in order to finally make it and be happy. The book gave voice to their specific desires, even as it tapped into the hardships of moving to a new city, starting a life alone, and grasping, by turns, for connection and independence.” Kirkus Reviews Fiction Editor Laurie Muchnick also commented on the book’s timelessness, noting that she was “blown away by Jaffe’s sharp, fizzy writing; her pointed analysis of women’s roles and restrictions; and her matter-of-fact depiction of sexual harassment in the workplace decades before the Clarence Thomas hearings or #MeToo.” The New Yorker staff writer Rachel Syme, who wrote the introduction to the reissue (which can be found on The New Yorker website), and author Maris Kreizman will be holding a free discussion on the book on March 17 at 6pm at Rizzoli. Penguin Classics published the book on March 14, 2023.
