This decision safeguards the role of librarians, ensures books are evaluated in their entirety, and upholds every reader’s right to access diverse stories and ideas. 📚✨

It’s a happy pub day for THE GOSSIP COLUMNIST’S DAUGHTER by Peter Orner with glowing reviews pouring in! (Little, Brown and Company)

The The New York Times Book Review runs a rave:
“More than a novel, Peter Orner’s “The Gossip Columnist’s Daughter” is a vibe…As with Orner’s previous fiction and his literary essays, what lingers is a mood, one that has something in common with the elegiac feeling you get from an Edward Hopper painting or a Miles Davis solo. What did John Steinbeck say about Cannery Row? It’s “a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light.” Ditto for Orner’s Chicago, except the stink rises from bodies dumped in the river, the noise comes from the ghosts of the stockyards, and the light reflects off the snow during yet another endless winter… A moody and engrossing meditation on the ephemerality of memory, the persistence of family myths and a haunting ode to a bygone Chicago. A memorable novel of the stories and people everybody has already forgotten."

“The Gossip Columnist’s Daughter,” by Peter Orner, revives an unsolved mystery involving Chicagoland royalty.
