Maggie Nelson’s ON FREEDOM is featured on The Rumpus’ Women's History Month reading list. They write: “Drawing on a vast range of material, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, Maggie Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing ‘practices of freedom’ by which we negotiate our interrelation with indeed, our inseparability from—others, with all the care and constraint that entails, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion. For Nelson, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture from recent art-world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis is itself a practice of freedom, a means of forging fortitude, courage, and company.” Graywolf Press will publish the book September 7, 2021.

NOW BEACON, NOW SEA by Christopher Sorrentino received a glowing blurb from author Jonathan A. Lethem. He writes: “In memoirs by great novelists, and NOW BEACON, NOW SEA is one, any distance between those arts shrinks, imagination and testimony lending prose the clarity of an engraving. Put this accomplishment with Roth’s Patrimony, Schwartz’s LEAVING BROOKLYN, Gornick’s FIERCE ATTACHMENTS, Conroy’s STOP-TIME, books in which the necessity of commanding trauma onto the page has galvanized the language from within.” Catapult will publish the book on September 7, 2021.
