Isle McElroy’s sophomore novel PEOPLE COLLIDE published to great acclaim, with raves pouring in from all corners of the media. The Washington Post lauds the novel as “one of the year’s most compelling reads,” with The New York Times adding: “[People Collide is] a big project knocking around in a small package, portending even bigger projects ahead.” The book was also praised by NPR (“a deep exploration of marriage, love, and the ways we know one another — and don’t”), The Los Angeles Times (“a delightfully gimmicky novel about how gender is a gimmick”), and elsewhere.

ASTOR by Anderson Cooper and Katherine Howe
ASTOR is one of Apple Books’ top books for the month of September, and was featured on Entertainment Weekly’s Fall roundup: “If you can't get enough of THE GILDED AGE, this historical biography is a must-read. Anderson Cooper, himself a descendant of the Vanderbilt family, reteams with Katherine Howe for this in-depth look at a family that shaped American history…In an era where the divide between the haves and have-nots is the widest it has been in over a century, Cooper and Howe dig into one of the United States' most influential families and a parable of capitalism, commerce, and greed that established an American way of life.” Cooper also sat down with The Washington Post to discuss ASTOR, “money, power, history and the myths of the American Dream.” Cooper says: “I’m very interested in the pathology of how the fortune is made, the psychology of the person who was so invested in amassing money that they created this fortune, whether it’s Commodore Vanderbilt and certainly John Jacob Astor…It’s very easy to think of this as a story about a wealthy family and their business. And there’s a lot of that in this. But my takeaway is just sort of the human cost of all of this. As unrelatable as the life the Astors led is, there are all these very human moments and human frailties, and how that plays out under the weight of and with the benefit of all this money.” Harper published the book on September 19, 2023.
