Happy Jerome Charyn, whose new novel BIG RED - in stores now - is "cinematic and bittersweet...[Charyn] subtly evokes F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 'The Great Gatsby' in telling his saga of star-crossed charismatics through the eyes of an all-seeing peripheral figure, an outsider-insider named Rusty Redburn... His novel, with its multiple layers of fiction and fact, resurrects the vanished world it celebrates and explicates it in all its grand illusion." —Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324091332

“It is the American story, told from this most American place.”
We wish you all a happy and healthy Juneteenth, in particular to Annette Gordon-Reed, author of national bestseller ON JUNETEENTH! Named one of The New York Times Books' 10 Best Books of the Year, it's the essential story of Juneteenth’s integral importance to American history, as told by a Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and Texas native. “I integrated my town’s schools, a la Ruby Bridges, with the chief difference being that I was not escorted to my first day of school by federal marshals," writes Gordon-Reed, bringing moving personal recollection to her sweeping history of Texas's role in the Civil War and subsequent battles for civil rights. “That Whites would be given more to read really upset me more than the fact that our waiting room was so small," recalls Gordon-Reed of her childhood doctor's office. In crafting this singular book, Annette has created a work which will fill every room it enters, and inspire all who read it.

“More often than I can count, I’ve been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one thing I’ve always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which I’ve learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.” —Paul McCartney, Foreword to THE LYRICS: 1956 TO THE PRESENT
A LETTER FROM LEMONY SNICKET ON HIS NEW BOOK, "POISON FOR BREAKFAST", IN STORES AUGUST 31ST AND AVAILABLE NOW FOR PREORDER:
Dear Reader,
Are you confused? Do you have any idea what is going on? Of course you are, and of course you don’t.
This book is about bewilderment, a word which here means not having the faintest idea what is going on at any given time. It is also something of a murder-mystery, in which a dreadful crime is investigated in the hopes of finding out what happened to the poor murdered victim. The person investigating is me. So is the poor murdered victim.
The clues in this investigation include a suspicious stranger, an upsetting supermarket, the strange way literature is made, painful embarrassment, long songs, improperly prepared eggs, and other things which I happen to think are important.
Some people might call POISON FOR BREAKFAST a book of philosophy, and hardly anyone likes a book of philosophy. When a person begins to investigate this bewildering world and their own inevitable death, they begin to suffer from a deeply troubling kind of bewilderment experienced by anyone foolish enough to love literature.
Unless you are that sort of person, I recommend reading something else entirely.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

"Mammoth, definitive and sublime.... An account of a life that plucks at the very borders and burdens of the notion of a self."
― Parul Sehgal,
Nearly a century after his death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or “heteronyms,” under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French (including some 25,000 unpublished pages). Of Richard Zenith's "monumental" new biography PESSOA - on sale today, Benjamin Moser of writes, "[Pessoa's work] was a city that needed a guide. Thanks to Zenith, it has one at last."
Zenith traces the backstories of Pessoa’s imagined personalities, demonstrating how they were projections, spin-offs, or metamorphoses of Pessoa himself―especially his most renowned work, “The Book of Disquiet.” A solitary man who had only one, ultimately platonic love affair, Pessoa used his and his heteronyms’ writings to explore questions of sexuality, to search for spiritual truth, and to chart a way forward for a politically agitated Portugal. A modern literary masterpiece, PESSOA immortalizes the life of a literary maestro.
