Kevin Canty’s Everything “Casts a Hypnotic Spell”
Vendela Vida had nothing but great things to say about Kevin Canty’s new novel Everything in last Sunday’s New York Times Books Review: “Four characters, three misguided romances, all forged from the madness of love, all made believable in Canty’s skilled hands . . . With Everything, Canty has found a style all his own, and it casts a hypnotic spell. . . . When I arrived at the end I, too, thought: That’s it. That’s it exactly.”

Tina Brown Must-Read: Must You Go?
The book isn’t out until November, but Must You Go? already has The Daily Beast Editor-in-Chief Tina Brown buzzing. British biographer Antonia Fraser’s memoir centers on her 33-year love affair with (and eventual marriage to) the celebrated playwright Harold Pinter. Brown told NPR, “It’s enormously enjoyable to read about because this is a book that’s intimate without being confessional, and that’s a very unusual thing today. At the end of it you feel you’ve had an insight into a great romance that has real passion. She’s really pulled off something of enormous subtlety.” Listen to the full interview here (begins at 3:35).

The Clouds Beneath the Sun by Mackenzie Ford
“A fascinating, morally ambiguous novel that juxtaposes the ambitions of the scientific community of outsiders against the sensitivities of the native cultures whose riches they unearth . . . Cinematic descriptions of the land and its people . . . Ripe for sophisticated book groups.”
-Library Journal, starred review
On Sale Now: No Place for Heroes
“In her latest novel, Laura Restrepo navigates the perilous terrain of a mother-son relationship against the historical backdrop of Argentina’s Dirty War, an epoch marked by military rule, a fertile underground resistance and hundreds of thousands of desaparecidos, people plucked from their lives and vanished forever.”
—Miami Herald
More Praise for Everything
“From beginning to end, Everything is one of those stunning rare novels with beautiful language, an intriguing structure and a gripping narrative. We are fortunate that Kevin Canty, already a great storyteller, has just written his finest work.”
-Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Karen Connelly Discusses her Memoir Burmese Lessons
In a new video, author Karen Connelly discusess her compelling memoir Burmese Lessons, which is about her journey to Burma, where she fell in love with a leader of the Burmese rebel army. Much of her story is about the unequal relationship between the men and women working in the revolutionary movement, whom she lived with in the jungle along the Thai-Burmese border. “That’s a huge problem still in the developing world, in our world, and in every world.”

Kevin Canty’s Unforgettable New Novel
Kevin Canty’s unforgettable new novel Everything opens on the 5th of July, when any sense of holiday living has ended. But that’s not to suggest that a bright future isn’t just around the bend for his characters, “normal folks, distressed by loneliness and lack of love, [who] just want a little peace and happiness in their otherwise turned upside down lives” (Chicago Tribune). In taut, exquisite prose, Kevin Canty explores the largest themes of life—work, love, death, destruction, rebirth—in the middle of the everyday.
