Min Jin Lee, American Hagwon (Cardinal)

“An enthralling family saga rich with intrigue, secrets, and betrayal. It is a literary triumph written in the most exquisite prose.” –Clint Smith

“A page-turning, pleasurably disorienting, and deeply humane vision of a possible future.” – Vogue

“A fantastic surprise, a novel made of oppositions: almost painfully intimate, culturally wide-angled, vulnerable, shrewd, compassionate and ruthless, tragic and well, radiant.” –Mary Gaitskill

Evan Gershkowitz, This Cursed Beautiful Land (Crown)

“A rousing tribute to the beauty and importance of old-fashioned journalism, a taut thriller of high stakes ‘hostage diplomacy,’ and a poignant meditation on the human struggle between hope and apathy under authoritarian rule.” –Patrick Radden Keefe

Cheyenne Roundtree, Bad Boy for Life: The Rise and Fall of Sean Combs (Holt)
