👄 First trade review is in! 👄 PW on Noémi Lefebvre's SPEAK / STOP (tr. Sophie Lewis):
"Lefebvre stages a sparkling dialogue about class, literature, and longing to escape one’s life... Readers of experimental literature are in for a treat."
Coming October 1 📆
☁️ Galleys are HERE! ☁️ THE WILDERNESS by @__aysegulsavas__ is almost out in the world. Out this October, PW says THE WILDERNESS is "arresting and deep, and makes for a rewarding entry into the growing pantheon of postpartum literature."

Out 2/25 in our Undelivered Lectures series, @LaurenMarkham_'s IMMEMORIAL, a speculative essay on language in the face of climate catastrophe: how we memorialize what has been lost and what soon will be, pushing public imagination into generative realms.

👄 Coming in September! 👄 New from Noémi Lefebvre, SPEAK / STOP (tr. Sophie Lewis) is a (hilarious) semiotic fever dream that weighs meaning and meaning-making against idea and ideology.
