Do you have any long weekends, actual vacations, or slower days ahead, before September gets busy with life and its obligations?
I recommend reading one (/all) of the books by clients I represent that were published in 2024 (in order):
Green Frog: Stories by Gina Chung
"A fantastic medley of short stories that dance between literary fiction, fable, Korean folklore, and science fiction. Wildly entertaining, wonderfully diverse, and always delivered with a superb understanding of pacing and economy of language, the stories in this collection are full of emotional intelligence but also prove Chung isn’t afraid to explore what genre mixing can do for short narratives.” — NPR
Victim by Andrew Boryga
“His debut signals the arrival of a writer courageous enough to dive into the difficult head-on. A thrilling work.” — The New York Times Book Review
Loneliness & Company by Charlee Dyroff
“Charlee Dyroff's Loneliness & Company is a sharply etched and strangely propulsive story about artificial intelligence and authentic feeling: a canny, tender exploration of the stories we tell about our bonds with each other, and the realities we'd rather not face about our bonds with the technologies that shape our days.” — Leslie Jamison
The Act of Disappearing by Nathan Gower
“Enchanting” — The Washington Post; “An exquisite exploration of motherhood and madness and the cost of withholding the truth from generation to generation. Hauntingly beautiful.” — Fiona Davis
And publishing this Friday!!! Locker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside, the memoir by Melissa Ludtke that recounts the full courtroom drama of her 1978 case won against Major League Baseball that allowed women equal access in sportsreporting.
“Locker Room Talk gives us a front-row seat at Melissa Ludtke’s celebrated courtroom battle when she went up against Major League Baseball and emerged with an enduring win for women’s equal rights…Hers wasn’t an easy struggle, but she persevered, and we are the better for it.” —Hillary Rodham Clinton
