The Flight Portfolio A novel Julie OrringerThe long-awaited new work from the best-selling author of The Invisible Bridgetakes us back to occupied Europe in this gripping historical novel based on the truestory of Varian Fry's extraordinary attempt to save the work, and the lives, ofJewish artists fleeing the Holocaust In 1940, Varian Fry--a Harvard educated American journalist--traveled toMarseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists andwriters he hoped to rescue within a few weeks. Instead, he ended up staying inFrance for thirteen months, working under the veil of a legitimate relieforganization to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and set upan underground railroad that led over the Pyrenees, into Spain, and finally toLisbon, where the refugees embarked for safer ports. Among his many clientswere Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel, André Breton, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp,and Marc Chagall.The Flight Portfolio opens at the Chagalls' ancient stone house in Gordes,France, as the novel's hero desperately tries to persuade them of thebarbarism and tragedy descending on Europe. Masterfully crafted, exquisitelywritten, impossible to put down, this is historical fiction of the very first order,and resounding confirmation of Orringer's gifts as a novelist.

BEST SELLER: The Invisible Bridge hit the New York Times extended list and was anIndieBound best seller. More than 200,000 copies sold across all editions.CRITIC AND BOOKSELLER FAVORITE:The Invisible Bridge appeared on summerreading lists nationwide with rave reviews.EXTRAORDINARY ACCLAIM: "An unforgettable, important work.... Powerful.... Somesmerizing that in spite of the book's heft, its ending comes too soon. The ability ofOrringer ... to contrast without excessive sentimentality the value of love with thehatred of the Holocaust is extraordinary." --The Miami Herald

"[A] gracefully written and altogether remarkable first novel." --Los Angeles Times"The strength of The Invisible Bridge lies in Orringer's ability to make us care so deeplyabout the people of her all-too-real fictional world. For the time it takes to read this finenovel, and for a long time afterward, it becomes our world too." --The New York TimesBook Review.

AUDIENCE: With its magnificently drawn historical canvas and engrossing story of oneman's desperate attempt to save Europe's Jews, The Flight Portfolio will appeal directlyto the many readers who passionately embraced The Invisible Bridge. BOOK CLUBS: There is a provocative, unanswerable moral question at the heart of The Flight Portfolio: Who deserves to be saved? Perfect for book clubs and readinggroups.

"Varian Fry lit a small, bright lamp in a world of darkness, and in the deft hands of JulieOrringer--under the spell of her masterful prose, her feeling portraiture, her classicspy-thriller plotting and her vivid recreation of that beautiful and terrible world--I foundthe radiance of Fry's courage, flawed humanity, and steadfast resistance shedding aninexhaustible light on our own ever-darkening time." --Michael Chabon"No book this year could possibly compare with The Flight Portfolio: ambitious,meticulous, big-hearted, gorgeous, historical, suspenseful, everything you want a novelto be."--Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Less

Furious Hours Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee Casey Cep"A triumph on every level. One of the losses to literature is that Harper Lee neverfound a way to tell a gothic true-crime story she'd spent years researching. CaseyCep has excavated this mesmerizing story and tells it with grace and insight and afierce fidelity to the truth." --David Grann, best-selling author of Killers of the FlowerMoon

The stunning story of an Alabama serial killer and the true-crime book that HarperLee worked on obsessively in the years after To Kill a Mockingbird. Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five ofhis family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvylawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at thefuneral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murdererwas acquitted--thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended theReverend.

Sitting in the audience during the vigilante's trial was Harper Lee, who hadtraveled from New York City to her native Alabama with the idea of writing herown In Cold Blood, the true-crime classic she had helped her friend TrumanCapote research seventeen years earlier. Lee spent a year in town reporting,and many more working on her own version of the case.

Now Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to thecourtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time,she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the country's most belovedwriters and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artisticcreativity.

PORTRAIT OF HARPER LEE: While there is a prominent biography of Lee and otherbooks written about her, there is nothing that delves so deeply into her life after Mockingbird. Casey Cep writes with enormous empathy about Lee's struggles withwriting and drinking. It is impossible not to be moved.SOUTHERN GOTHIC: In addition to the portrait of Lee, Cep treats us to an almostunbelievable story of murder, voodoo, small-town life, and race--like Midnight in theGarden of Good and Evil or the S-town podcast, a story that could only come out of theSouth.NEW STORY, NEW SOURCES: Lee's fascination with Maxwell's story has not beenfully appreciated and appears only briefly in existing books about her. In her research,Casey Cep found more than fifty unpublished and unarchived letters written by Lee,and she gained access to Lee's research materials for her book on the reverend,which have never been seen. The book is full of new information about one ofAmerica's most private and least understood writers.MOCKINGBIRD ON BROADWAY: This fall will bring the opening of Aaron Sorkin'stheatrical version of To Kill a Mockingbird.CASEY CEP: This is the first book by a tremendous young talent. Casey Cep writeswith an authority and originality of voice that belies her young age. She recentlyreviewed Barracoon for The New Yorker and has written for that magazine's website,and we will be seeing a lot more of her in years to come.

About the Author/ I l lustratorAuthor Residence: Eastern Shore, MD Author Hometown: Eastern Shore, MDCASEY CEP is a writer from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. After graduating from Harvardshe earned an M.Phil. at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Her work has appeared in The NewYorker, The New York Times, and The New Republic, among many other publications.This is her first book.

Ballpark Baseball in the American City Paul GoldbergerAn exhilarating, splendidly illustrated, entirely new look at the history of baseball:told through the stories of the vibrant and ever-changing ballparks where the gamewas and is staged, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic. From the earliest corrals of the mid-1800s (Union Grounds in Brooklyn was a"saloon in the open air"), to the much mourned parks of the early 1900s(Detroit's Tiger Stadium, Cincinnati's Palace of the Fans), to the stadiums wefill today, Paul Goldberger makes clear the inextricable bond between theAmerican city and America's favorite pastime. In the changing locations andarchitecture of our ballparks, Goldberger reveals the manifestations of achanging society: the earliest ballparks evoked the Victorian age in theiraccommodations--bleachers for the riffraff, grandstands for the middle-class;the "concrete donuts" of the 1950s and '60s made plain television's grip on thepublic's attention; and more recent ballparks, like Baltimore's Camden Yards,signal a new way forward for stadium design and for baseball's role in urbandevelopment. Throughout, Goldberger shows us the way in which baseball'shistory is concurrent with our cultural history: the rise of urban parks andpublic transportation; the development of new building materials andengineering and design skills. And how the site details and the requirements ofthe game--the diamond, the outfields, the walls, the grandstands--shaped ourmost beloved ballparks.

A fascinating, exuberant ode to the Edens at the heart of our cities--wheredreams are as limitless as the outfields.

PERSONALITIES: Though the parks are the central protagonists, we meet with someof baseball's most outsized characters: Chris von der Ahe, William Hulbert, A. G.Spalding, Walter O'Malley, and Bart Giamatti, to name only a few.THE PARKS: Goldberger looks at parks across the country, but, in addition, he takesan in-depth look at three of the nation's longest-standing and most celebratedparks--Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, and Dodger Stadium--to describe the nuts and boltsbehind their charm.THE WAY FORWARD:A critical survey as well of contemporary ballparks, particularlyCamden Yards, that are the brave new influences in stadium design.BASEBALL LORE: Filled with intriguing facts--the first stolen base, the first nightgame--great quotes, and wonderful illustrations.AUTHOR: Goldberger is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, the essential architecturalcritic in both print and on television and radio, always well reviewed. An esteemed andfrequent public speaker.PREVIOUS BOOKS: The critical success of Building Art, his 2016 biography of FrankGehry, and of his earlier titles, Up from Zero and Why Architecture Matters.

About the Author/ I l lustratorAuthor Residence: New York CityPAUL GOLDBERGER, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, began his career at The NewYork Times, where he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism for hiswriting on architecture.

The Scandal of the Century And Other Writings Gabriel García MárquezFrom one of the titans of twentieth-century literature, collected here for the firsttime: a selection of his journalism from the late 1940s to the mid-1980s--work thathe considered even more important to his legacy than his universally acclaimedworks of fiction. "I don't want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for theNobel Prize but rather for my journalism," Gabriel García Márquez said in thefinal years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have beenmade available over the years, this is the first volume to gather arepresentative selection from across the first four decades of his career--yearsduring which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversialjournalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prizein 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in thecoastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla . . . his longer, morefictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly columns for Spain's El País. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to hisfiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writerworking at the profession he believed to be "the best in the world."

A LESSER-KNOWN SIDE OF A LITERARY HERO: A true delight for both his longtimereaders and newcomers, these fifty pieces portray Gabriel García Márquez'sdevelopment as a young journalist into the "titan of twentieth-century literature" thathe later became."A SKETCH PAD FOR HIS FICTION": Short pieces included here, like "The House ofthe Buendía," show how García Márquez was already building the universe that wouldbe One Hundred Years of Solitude many years before he wrote that novel, and usinghis journalistic writings as a sketch pad for his fiction. Some articles later grew intoshort stories, as happened with "Sleeping Beauty on the Airplane."THE WRITER'S VIEW OF HIS CRAFT: The last third of the book includes many ofGabo's post-Nobel articles originally published in El País. In these, García Márquezwrites extensively about his craft, the origin of many of his ideas, and his writingprocess, including "How to Write a Novel."PROLOGUE BY JON LEE ANDERSON: An honest portrayal written by The NewYorker's key Latin America reporter--and friend of García Márquez--who also directedthe documentary Gabo, The Creation of Gabriel García Márquez.INTERESTING READ FOR JOURNALISTS: This dive into García Márquez's journalisticwork will be an essential read for current and future journalists whose writing alsoextends into the realm of fiction.IN-HOUSE EDITOR: Vintage Español's Cristóbal Pera, García Márquez's longtimeeditor and friend, spearheaded the edition of this book, and includes a heartfelteditor's note that introduces the reader to the collection.

"Gabriel García Márquez holds a special place in the hearts of journalists . . . a titan oftwentieth-century literature, [he] honed his writing skills as a reporter before he becamea celebrated novelist." -- Newsweek

"García Márquez learned from journalism the craft of storytelling, showing himself to bean astounding judge of pace, surprise, and structure." --The Guardian

About the Author/ I l lustratorAuthor Hometown: Aracataca, ColombiaGabriel García Márquez was born in Colombia in 1927. He was awarded the NobelPrize in Literature in 1982.

Disappearing Earth A novel Julia PhillipsFor fans of Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomena and Téa Obreht's The Tiger's Wife: the kidnapping of two small girls on a remote peninsula in Russiasets in motion a propulsive, evocative, searingly original debut novel by a dazzlingyoung writer. One August afternoon, on the shoreline of the Kamchatka Peninsula at thenortheastern tip of Russia, two girls--sisters, ages eight and eleven--go missing.The police investigation goes cold from the outset. In the girls' tightly-wovencommunity, everyone must grapple with the loss. But the fear and danger isfelt most profoundly among the women of this isolated place.Taking us one chapter per month across a year on Kamchatka, this powerfulnovel connects the lives of characters changed by the sisters' abduction: awitness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. Theirs is an ethnically diversepopulation in which racial tensions simmer, and so-called natives are often thefirst to be accused. As the story radiates from the peninsula's capital city to itsrural north, we are brought to places of astonishing beauty: densely woodedforests, open expanses of tundra, soaring volcanoes, and glassy seas.Disappearing Earth is a multifaceted story of the intimate lives of women--theirvulnerabilities and perils; their loves, aspirations, and regrets; their desires anddreams. The novel speaks to the complex yet enduring bonds of community asit offers startlingly vivid portraits of people reaching out to one another and,sometimes, reaching back to save each other. Gripping and tender, evoking with seamless authenticity an extraordinary placeon the other side of the world, this thrilling novel with a haunting suspense atits center announces a profoundly gifted writer.

BUZZY DEBUT: We preempted this novel before auction; it was WME's lead title atthe 2017 London Book Fair and has sold in six international territories, and counting.This is a highly anticipated release that will gather more prepublication buzz as it isshared. Scribner in the UK will publish alongside us.AUTHOR: Julia Phillips is a star in the making; this is the first of a two-novel contract.Just thirty years old, she's a Pushcart-nominated writer who spent a year on a Fulbrightliving in Kamchatka (she speaks fluent Russian) doing research for this book, includinga 583-mile dog sled race and a stint herding reindeer. Her short fiction has appeared in Glimmer Train, The Rumpus, and The Antioch Review; her articles and essays haveappeared in The Atlantic, Slate, Jezebel, BuzzFeed News, and The Moscow Times.Phillips is an active presence on social media.TIMELY SUBJECTS: Russia continues to headline the news and to fascinate. Thisstory, set in the farthest reaches of the country, provides a complex, dynamic pictureof contemporary life there. Moreover, as tensions grow around immigrant populationsaround the world, this book offers a unique story of a community with its own ethnictensions and preconceptions. The book also has a feminist heartbeat as it explores thedesires, fears, and vulnerabilities of women. COMPS: Like Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomena and Amor Towles's A Gentleman in Moscow, this book brings us Russia in a new way. Like Téa Obrecht'sThe Tiger's Wife, it takes us with powerful immediacy to a far-flung part of the world.Told in short, character-driven chapters like Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, itsshifting points of view allow for an intense closeness, as the mystery of the girls'disappearance builds to an unforgettable climax.

The Dreamt Land Chasing Water and Dust Across California Mark AraxA vivid, searching journey into California's complicated relationship to its water,from the Gold Rush to today--an epic story of the struggle to overcome theconstraints of nature Mark Arax is from a family of Central Valley farmers--a journalist with deepties to the land, who has watched as the battles over water have intensifiedeven as the state lurches from drought to flood and back again. In The DreamtLand he travels the state to explore the century-old water distribution systemthat is straining to keep up with California's relentless growth.

This is a heartfelt, beautifully written book about land and the people whohave worked it, from the gold miners to the ranchers to the small farmers andtoday's Big Ag. Since the beginning, Californians have redirected rivers, drilledever-deeper wells, and built higher dams, pushing the water supply past itsl imit. The Dreamt Land weaves memoir, history and deep reportage to confrontthe "Golden State" myth. It brings to life the enterprising figures who havemade a fortune off the dirt, and used that wealth to increase their draw ofwater, as well as the workers left behind in the sun and the fatigued earth thatkeeps sinking. It's a story of politics and hubris in the arid West, but above allit 's about the unceasing human will to make things happen and to reachbeyond, even as the perils become increasingly stark.

SUBJECT: Water is one of the biggest issues not only in California, but throughout theWest. This book is not an environmental jeremiad or a pro-market fable--it's a deeplyhuman book about the people who are most directly and direly affected by the crisis. EARLY RESPONSE: When California Sunday Magazine published a section of the bookabout almond farmers earlier this year, it went viral, appearing in many newslettersand roundups, and Arax was invited on to many local NPR shows as well as NPR'sMarketplace.NOT JUST WATER: Given the inextricable link between water and agriculture--whenthe above-mentioned excerpt ran, Michael Pollan and Ruth Reichl tweeted about it,and The New York Times Cooking email mentioned it--this is also a book for foodiesand readers of books about ethical eating, such as The Omnivore's Dilemma, Four Fish,and Eating Animals.MEDIA: As with recent titles such as Tailspin and Winners Take All, The Dreamt Land should command strong coverage across broadcast and print media.WRITING: Mark Arax is an elegiac, profoundly empathetic writer who cares about hissubjects as well as the environment--he writes as insightfully about people as he doesabout the land. Both aspects of this subject are near to his heart, and it shows onevery page.COMP: Marc Reisner's Cadillac Desert continues to sell thousands of copies a year,thirty years after its publication. The Dreamt Land will appeal to the same kinds ofreaders who have made that a perennial seller.

Where We Come From A novel Oscar CásaresFrom the acclaimed author of Brownsville and Amigoland--a stunning and timelynew novel about a Mexican American family in Brownsville, Texas, who reluctantlybecomes involved in smuggling immigrants into the United States From a distance, the towns along the U.S.-Mexican border have dangerousreputations: on one side, drug cartels; on the other, zealous border patrolagents--and Brownsville is no different. But to twelve-year-old Orly, it's simplywhere his godmother, Nina, lives--and where he is being forced to stay thesummer after his mother's sudden death.

For Nina, Brownsville is where she grew up, where she lost her first and onlylove, and where she stayed as her relatives moved away and herneighborhood deteriorated. It's the place where she's buried all hersecrets--and now she has another: she's providing refuge for a youngimmigrant boy named Daniel, for whom traveling to America has meant tradingone set of dangers for another.

Separated from the violent human traffickers who brought him across theborder, pursued by the authorities, Daniel must stay completely hidden underNina's roof. But when Orly discovers Daniel's presence, the two boys'immediate kinship--and shared desire for independence--puts them all at risk ofexposure.

Tackling the crisis of U.S. immigration policy from a deeply human angle, Where We Come From explores through an intimate lens the ways that familyhistory shapes us, how secrets can burden us, and how finding compassion andunderstanding for others can ultimately set us free.

TIMELINESS: American immigration policy has never weighed more heavily onpeople's minds and hearts. Alongside the main narrative--a single family caught up inthis crisis--Where We Come From also contains beautifully written vignettes about theimmigrants whose lives intersect with Nina and Orly's. Cásares gives readers anintimate, deeply empathetic glimpse of the human faces behind the headlines.AGELESS APPEAL: Twelve-year-old Orly offers readers of any age a relatable windowinto grief, compassion, family secrets, and migrant lives. This novel has the potentialto be a new generation's House on Mango Street or Bless Me, Ultima.HUMOR: Cásares's sharp turns of phrase, cutting wit, and dynamite dialogue--whichhave earned him comparisons with Mark Twain and Flannery O'Connor--make WhereWe Come From a swift, propulsive read, which, in turn, makes the emotional momentsmore powerful in contrast.WRITERS' WRITER: A professor of creative writing at the University of Texas atAustin--and an Iowa Writers' Workshop grad--Cásares is well connected to other writerswho will eagerly support this book. Further, his collection of short stories, Brownsville,has been adopted into the curriculum at a number of universities' creative writingcourses.BILINGUAL BOOST: We're partnering with Vintage Español to publish Where WeCome From simultaneously in Spanish, both in the United States and around the world.

The Body in the Castle Well A Bruno, Chief of Police novel Series/Series #: BRUNO, CHIEF OFPOLICE SERIES, #14Mart in WalkerAn aging art scholar and a visiting student, haunting echoes of France's colonialistpast, and a delicious navarin of lamb--Bruno is back, and his latest case leads himfrom the Renaissance to the French Resistance and beyond by way of a corpse atthe bottom of a well. When Claudia, a young American, turns up dead in the courtyard of anancient castle in Bruno's jurisdiction, her death is assumed to be an accidentrelated to opioid use. But her doctor persuades Bruno that things may not beso simple. Thus begins an investigation that leads Bruno to Monsieur deBourdeille, the scholar with whom the girl had been studying, and then throughthat man's past. He is a renowned art historian who became extraordinarilywealthy through the sale of paintings that may have been falsely attributed--orso Claudia suggested shortly before her death. In his younger days, Bourdeillehad aided the Resistance and been arrested by a Vichy policeman whose ownlife story also becomes inexorably entangled with the case. Also in the mix is ayoung falconer who works at the Château des Milandes, the former home offabled jazz singer Josephine Baker. In the end, of course, Bruno will tie all theloose threads together and see that justice is served--along with a generoushelping of his signature Périgordian cuisine.

Dual Citizens A novel Alix OhlinA masterful achievement: a joint coming-of-age story and an achingly poignantportrait of the strange, painful, ultimately life-sustaining bonds between sisters. Lark and Robin are half-sisters whose similarities end at being named forbirds. While Lark is shy and studious, Robin is wild and artistic. Raised inMontreal by their disinterested single mother, they form a fierce team inchildhood despite these differences. As they grow up, Lark excels at school andRobin becomes an extraordinary pianist. At seventeen, Lark flees to America toattend college, where she finds her calling in documentary films, and her sistersoon joins her.

Later, in New York City, the sisters find themselves tested: Lark struggleswith self-doubt, and Robin chafes against the demands of Juilliard. Underpressure, their bond grows strained and ultimately broken, and their pathsdiverge. Lark leaves New York when she meets Lawrence Wheelock, arenowned filmmaker who becomes both her employer and occasional lover,while Robin returns to Canada. When Wheelock denies Lark what she hopes formost of all--a child--she is forced to re-examine a life marked by unrealizedambitions and thwarted desires. And as she takes charge of her destiny, Larkdiscovers that despite their complicated, oftentimes painful relationship, thereis only one person she can truly rely on: her sister.

In this gripping, unforgettable novel about motherhood, sisterhood, desire,and self-knowledge, Alix Ohlin traces the rich and complex path towardfulfillment as an artist and a human being, capturing the peculiar language ofsisters, and making visible the imperceptible strings that bind us to the oneswe love--or have loved--for good.

OVERWHELMING ACCLAIM FROM WRITERS: "A skillful storyteller . . . Attractivelyquick-witted and wry" (J. M. Coetzee), "Ohlin has a great eye, a great ear, and all theother equipment auguring a very successful future" (Jay McInerney), "Expect to hearher spoken of in the same reverent breath as Lorrie Moore and Joy Williams" (HeidiJulavits), "Ohlin has a marvelous will to explore and it's clear that she's in completecommand of her art . . . Smart, tough, deeply felt and beautifully delivered" (RichardBausch), "Smart, satisfying, surprising . . . Ohlin has a big, calm, seductive talent" (JoyWilliams).AND FROM CRITICS: According to The New York Times Book Review, she is "a talentedstoryteller exploring the limits of her art [and] animated by an intelligence that defiesthe restraints of literary categories with rare composure and a quiet, almostself-effacing, assurance." CONSTANT EXPOSURE in The New Yorker, The Sewanee Review, Daedalus, Ploughshares, The Believer, The Rumpus, and a host of other magazines andquarterlies.FOREIGN ENDORSEMENTS prove what American readers have yet to discover: that Alixbelongs in the top rank of her generation's writers. A star in her native Canada--where Inside, her most recent novel, sold over 50,000 copies--she has eagerly been taken upby prestigious publishers in England, France, Italy, and Holland, with many more tofollow now.

Someone Who Will Love You in All Your DamagedGlory Stories Raphael Bob-WaksbergFrom the creator and executive producer of the beloved and universally acclaimedtelevision series BoJack Horseman, a fabulously off-beat collection of short storiesabout love--the best and worst thing in the universe Written with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of BoJackHorseman, Raphael Bob-Waksberg's stories will make readers laugh, weep,and shiver in uncomfortably delicious recognition. In "A Most Blessed andAuspicious Occasion," a young couple planning a wedding is forced to deal withinterfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices."Missed Connection--m4w" is the tragicomic tale of a pair of lonely commuterseternally failing to make that longed-for contact. The members of a rock bandin "Up-and-Comers" discover they suddenly have superpowers--but only whenthey're drunk. And in "The Serial Monogamist's Guide to Important New YorkCity Landmarks," a woman maps her history of romantic failures based on theplaces she and her significant others visited together.

Equally at home with the surreal and the painfully relatable (or both atonce), Bob-Waksberg delivers a killer combination of humor, romance, whimsy,cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability. The resultingcollection is a punchy, perfect bloody valentine.

AUTHOR: Raphael Bob-Waksberg is the creator and executive producer of the Netflixshow BoJack Horseman ("a bleak, brilliant comedy" --Slate; "the funniest show aboutdepression ever" --Vulture; "so odd" --The New York Times) and has been profiled in The New York Times, Vice, NPR, Slate, The Verge, and Variety, among others. This ishis first book--a huge event--and will attract more of the same media coverage.MANE ATTRACTION: BoJack Horseman (the show) has a huge fanbase, with morethan 750K Facebook followers, and BoJack Horseman (the horse) has more than 300Kfollowers on Twitter and more than 250K on Instagram. Following a triumphant 5thseason, it remains a mainstay of Netflix's original programming.A WHO'S WHO OF HOLLYWOO (the D was stolen): The stars and guest stars of BoJack--such as Will Arnett, Alison Brie, Amy Sedaris, Aaron Paul, Paul F. Tompkins,Abbi Jacobson, Jeffrey Wright, Patton Oswalt, J. K. Simmons, and Weird Al Yankovic--willbe coming out of the (Hollywood) hills to support Raphael and his book.VIRAL COMEDY: Raphael was a founding member of the comedy group Olde English,whose viral videos appeared on Good Morning America, MSNBC, and EntertainmentWeekly 's Must List. On Craigslist, he posted what the Village Voice called "the mostbeautiful Missed Connection ever," which went viral on reddit.

Very Nice A novel Marcy DermanskyA brilliantly funny novel of money, sex, race, and bad behavior in the post-Obamaera, featuring a wealthy Connecticut divorcée, her college-age daughter, and thefamous American novelist who is seduced by them both. Rachel Klein never meant to kiss her creative writing professor, but with hislong eyelashes, his silky hair, and the sad, beautiful life he laid bare on Twitter,she does, and the kiss is very nice. Zahid Azzam never planned to become ahouseguest in his student's sprawling Connecticut home, but with the sparklingswimming pool, the endless supply of Whole Foods strawberries, and Rachel'sbeautiful mother, he does, and the home is very nice. Becca Klein neverthought she'd have a love affair so soon after her divorce, but when herdaughter's professor walks into her home, bringing with him an apricotstandard poodle named Princess, she does, and the affair is...a very bad idea.In a darkly hilarious novel that zigzags between the rarified circles ofManhattan investment banking, the achingly self-serious MFA programs of theMidwest, and the private bedrooms of Connecticut, Marcy Dermansky haswritten an audacious, addictive, and wickedly smart take on the way we livenow.

BREAKOUT NOVEL: After three critically acclaimed books, this is Marcy's mostcommercial, ambitious, hilarious novel to date. Marcy set out to write a crowd-pleaser,and boy has she ever. Like The Vacationers or The Interestings, this is the perfect bookfor summer.FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES: Maria Semple, Emily St. John Mandel, Emma Straub,Roxane Gay, Kevin Wilson, Megan Abbott, Edan Lepucki, Laura van den Berg, WeikeWang, and Emily Gould are all outspoken fans of Marcy.RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES: This book feels like it was written in real time. Thecharacters are vibrating with alarm about the Trump White House, they are gorging onavocado toast, they are parsing sexual harassment, they are contemplating gendernorms. This book is relentlessly current and as vital as it is hilarious. EARLY READS: In-house reads are wildly enthusiastic. We have a lot of buzz building.

Say Say Say A novel Lila SavageA beautiful, bracingly honest debut novel about the triangle formed between ayoung woman and the couple whose life she enters one transformative year: astory about love and compassion, the fluidity of desire, and the myriad ways ofdevotion. Ella is nearing thirty, and not yet living the life she imagined. Her artisticambitions as a student in Minnesota have given way to an unintended career incaregiving. One spring, Bryn--a retired carpenter--hires her to help him care forJill, his wife of many years. A car accident caused a brain injury that has left Jillverbally diminished; she moves about the house like a ghost of her former self,often able to utter, like an incantation, only the words that comprise thisnovel's title.

As Ella is drawn ever deeper into the couple's household, her presenceunwanted but wholly necessary, she is profoundly moved by the tendernessBryn shows toward the wife he still fiercely loves. Ella is startled by theyearning this awakens in her, one that complicates her feelings for hergirlfriend, Alix, and causes her to look at relationships of all kinds--betweenpartners, between employer and employee, and above all between men andwomen--in new ways.

Tightly woven, humane and insightful, tracing unflinchingly the mostintimate reaches of a young woman's heart and mind, Say Say Say is a rivetingstory about what it means to love, in a world where time is always running out.

UNIVERSAL SUBJECTS: An exquisite, acutely perceptive novel about being a woman;love and longing; vulnerability and aging; gender and sexuality--subjects that make ithighly contemporary even as it tells a timeless story. AUDIENCE: Caregiving is a growing need and profession in the US as more and morefamilies come to rely on the help of outsiders, often for aging parents. This novel isthe first to document what this experience is really like, from both angles; it does sowith tremendous empathy, verisimilitude and authenticity: allowing strangers to enteryour home, to care for your or your loved one's body; what the tricky transactionaland financial repercussions are for both employer and employee; the reluctant yetundeniable need to let a once-total-stranger into the corridors of your heart. COMPS: For the audience of such nonfiction books as When Breath Becomes Air andSonali Deraniyagala's Wave; like them it stares into the darkness of life-and-deathsituations and somehow finds inspiration, new truths, and resilience. For readers ofstrong female narratives like the fiction of Rachel Cusk and Jenny Offill. Its literaryspirituality with Midwestern roots will resonate with fans of Marilynne Robinson.

The Substitution Order A novel Mart in ClarkFrom Martin Clark--praised by Entertainment Weekly as "our best legal-thrillerwriter"--comes a wickedly clever, tenderhearted, and intricately plotted novel abouta hard-luck lawyer's refusal to concede defeat, even as fate, the court system, and agang of untouchable con artists conspire against him. Kevin Moore, once a high-flying Virginia attorney, hits rock bottom after aninexplicably tumultuous summer leaves him disbarred and separated from hiswife. Short on cash and looking for work, he lands in the middle of nowherewith a job at SUBstitution, the world's saddest sandwich shop. His closestconfidants: a rambunctious rescue puppy and the twenty-year-old computerwhiz manning the restaurant counter beside him. He's determined to set hislife right again, but the troubles keep coming. And when a bizarre, mysteriousstranger wanders into the shop armed with a threatening "invitation" to join amultimillion-dollar scam, Kevin will need every bit of his legal savvy just to stayout of prison. A remarkable tour of the law's tricks and hidden trapdoors, The SubstitutionOrder is both wise and ingenious, a wildly entertaining novel that will keep youguessing--and rooting for its tenacious hero--until the very last page.

AN UNRIVALED INTRODUCTION was made by Dwight Garner, who called Martin's firstnovel, "arguably the funniest legal thriller ever written," and its author "not only thethinking man's John Grisham but, maybe better, the drinking man's John Grisham . . .What made Clark's novel feel so winning [is that] it cheerfully, and comprehensively,flunked its sobriety test." Dwight's conclusion? "You can count on Clark for extremesituations and fresh, perfectly salted prose . . . If I had to guess, I'd say that he wrotewhile jacked on Elmore Leonard, The Scarlet Letter, and a pile of John Prine albums."UNIQUE AUTHOR BIO: A circuit court judge in Virginia for nearly thirty years (and theyoungest ever appointed there), Martin has a knowledge of the law that is astonishing,and he writes about it with exceptional clarity. Also, a major plot point in this novelinvolves our main character, a man in his prime, stricken by and recovering from astroke, something Martin lately experienced firsthand. CRITICAL RECEPTION: His previous novels have been lauded by critics and by writersso diverse that it proves the broad range of readers Martin attracts. David Baldaccihails him as "a truly original writer [who] defies the reader not to rip through everypage with sheer delight" and Elizabeth Strout heralds his "keen eye for the deftlyrendered detail, as well as his compassionate understanding of the tremors that dwellin the soul and the heart." Kaye Gibbons declares him "without restraint and withoutprecedent" and James Crumley describes his work as "charming and funny andtouching and twisted, as fresh and tart as a perfect martini." Even Nelson DeMillewrote, "completely original and vastly entertaining . . . The Jezebel Remedy [ is] thebest-plotted and quirkiest legal thriller of the year." COMPARISONS WITH OTHER WRITERS: These yield the same amazing results: FlanneryO'Connor, John Grisham (over and over), Harry Crews, Nick Hornby, Thomas McGuane,Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, Tom Robbins, Scott Turow, even John Kennedy Toole.

Beaten Down, Worked Up The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor Steven GreenhouseFrom the longtime New York Times labor correspondent, an in-depth look atworking men and women in America, the challenges they face, and how they can bere-empowered The solution to economic insecurity could once be stated in three words:"Get a job." But this is no longer so. Even as corporate profits have climbed tonew records, the number of low-wage workers has soared, while wages havestagnated for the vast majority of Americans. Behind these trends is alittle-discussed problem: the decades-long decline in worker power.

Steven Greenhouse sees this decline reflected in some of the most pressingproblems facing our nation today, including income inequality, declining socialmobility, the gender pay gap, and the concentration of political power in thehands of the wealthy. He rebuts the prevalent view that labor unions areoutmoded--or even harmful--by recounting some of labor's historic victories,the damaging pushback against unions, and the efforts of several of today'smost innovative and successful worker groups. He shows us the modern laborlandscape through the stories of dozens of American workers, and we see howunions have empowered the most marginalized, including young womengarment workers in New York in 1909, black sanitation workers in Memphis in1968, and hotel housekeepers today. And he proposes concrete, feasible waysin which workers' collective power can be--and is already beginning tobe--rekindled and reimagined in the twenty-first century.

HOT TOPICS: Economic anxiety. Racial discrimination. The white working class.Outsourced jobs. The recent Supreme Court decision regarding public sector workers.Such issues and such slogans have been trumpeted by conservatives and liberals alikein order to explain our present political climate. Labor is at the heart of all of them,and Greenhouse addresses them all in the book. POLITICAL MOMENT: Surveys show that more than 60 percent of Americans viewunions favorably. And with the success of teachers' strikes across the country in 2018,we find ourselves at a turning point for the American worker. RESPECTED AUTHOR: Greenhouse was the go-to reporter on the American labormovement in The New York Times for decades. His awards include the Society ofProfessional Journalists Deadline Club award and a New York Press Club award. Inaddition he received the Hillman Prize for his most recent book, The Big Squeeze.CRITICAL ACCLAIM: "Greenhouse has mastered labor market economics in a wayfew journalists do . . . his profiles are . . . rich in evoking sympathy and understandingfor workers who struggle to both adapt and resist." --Jack Metzgar, Dissent. "A hugelytalented reporter with a passion for justice, a shrewd student of the new economy anda brilliant guide to the contemporary labor movement, Greenhouse writes with clarity,energy and grace." --E. J. Dionne Jr.
