Knopf Summer 2016 Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space Janna Levin The authoritative story of the headline-making discovery of gravitational waves--by an eminent theoretical astrophysicist and award-winning writer. In 1916, Einstein became the first to predict the existence of gravitational waves: sounds without a material medium generated by the unfathomably energy-producing collision of black holes. Now Janna Levin, herself an astrophysicist, recounts the story of the search over the last fifty years for these elusive waves--a quest that has culminated in the creation of the most expensive project ever funded by the National Science Foundation ($1 billion-plus). Levin delves into the lives and fates of the three scientists (Kip Thorne, Rai Weiss, Ron Drever) who staked their careers on their obsession to discern the universe's soundtrack. Levin's account of the surprises, disappointments, achievements, and risks of this unfolding story provides us with a uniquely compelling and intimate portrait of one of the most remarkable discoveries of modern science. . BREAKING NEWS: The announcement on February 11, 2016, of the discovery of gravitational waves was a front-page story, and our book is the first and authoritative account of that discovery. AUTHOR: Janna Levin is an astrophysicist and has access to all the major participants in the endeavor to detect gravitational waves. The three scientists at the center of this book are her colleagues and this is a story that, until now, has been known only to those most involved with the project. APPROACH: Unlike other science books, this is not a discussion of theory or a history of ideas--it is the story of how science gets done. Its models would include Double Helix and Jonathan Weiner's The Beak of the Finch. TED TALK: Levin presented "The Sound the Universe Makes" on Ted.com on March 1, 2011. The video has had nearly 1,000,000 views.

The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some unexpected good fortune, is now staring down a VA cardiologist's estimate that he only has a year or two left, and he's busy as hell keeping the news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for years... the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren't still best friends... Sully's son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure... Doug Raymer, now chief of police and still obsessing over the identity of the man his wife might have been having an affair with before she died in a freak accident... North Bath's mayor, the former academic Gus Moynihan, who also has a pressing wife problem... and then there's Carl Roebuck, whose lifelong run of failing upwards might now come to ruin. Everybody's Fool is filled with humor, heart, hard times, and characters whom you can't help but love for all their faults. It is classic Russo--and a crowning achievement from one of the greatest storytellers of our time. . NOBODY'S FOOL: The 1993 novel was a huge commercial success, and it's still selling. The strong film version--starring Paul Newman, Melanie Griffith, Bruce Willis, and Jessica Tandy--brought many more readers to the book, all of whom will be thrilled to return to these fabled characters. EVERYBODY'S FOOL: A sequel, yes, but also a great American novel in its own right, and it's certainly not necessary to have read the earlier book in order to appreciate the countless delights this one has to offer. Russo deals again here with some of the themes that run through Nobody's Fool: free will, change, stasis, continuity, responsibility, forgiveness, all the bonds of family and community. But the many new wrinkles and developments in character and plot will both delight his many fans and win him countless new ones. THE AUTHOR HIMSELF: Beyond his storytelling prowess, Russo is widely known as perhaps the most generous, genuine, and charming of living writers. Plus he'll be doing a full-court press to support Everybody's Fool.

It's 1954. Several English nationals have defected to the USSR, while a witch-hunt for homosexuals rages across Britain. In these circumstances, no one is surprised when a mathematician by the name of Alan Turing is found dead in his home: it is widely assumed that he committed suicide, unable to cope with the humiliation of a criminal conviction for homosexuality. But young detective sergeant Leonard Corell, who had always dreamed of a career in higher mathematics, suspects greater forces are involved. In the face of opposition from his superiors, he begins to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that lead him to one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war: the Bletchley Park operation to crack the Nazis' Enigma code. But he is also about to be rocked by two startling developments in his own life, one of which will find him being pursued as a threat to national security... .

That's a lot of readers who will want to see what else Lagercrantz has up his sleeve. And, we might point out (as The Sunday Telegraph does below), that Turing and Salander have quite a bit in common. THE IMITATION GAME: Alan Turing, Bletchley Park, and the Enigma code are high on the public's radar, promising readers a smart, fun, World War II-era mystery. REVIEWS: MacLehose Press published in May 2015, and below are just some of the great reviews the book received. ED'S NOTE: Wilmslow is a pretty, sleepy town in Cheshire, notable as the home of Alan Turing. In June, 1954, Turing was found dead in his home of cyanide poisoning, a half-eaten apple beside his bed. It was ruled a suicide. U.K. Reviews for Fall of Man in Wilmslow "Absorbing...Gets the synapses sparking...Lagercrantz is at home with a damaged hero who has more of an affinity with computers than humans." --Jake Kerridge, The Sunday Telegraph "Lagercrantz is perceptive in his treatment of the tragic Turing...Perhaps the most signal achievement here is the clever melding of two narrative forms: a sympathetic biography of a real historical figure treated appallingly by the establishment, and a police procedural in which a dogged copper tries to crack a mystery in the teeth of bloody-minded intransigence." --Barry Forshaw, The Independent "Has the faintest whiff of W. G. Sebald; haunted characters determined to pull others down into turbid, oppressive currents of memory and ideas. You are willingly drawn down with them." --Sinclair McKay, The Spectator About the Author/Illustrator Author Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden David Lagercrantz was born in 1962, and is an acclaimed author and journalist. As well as numerous biographies (including the internationally best-selling I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for which he was the ghostwriter), he has written four novels, including the #1 best-selling The Girl in the Spider's Web.

Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, shot dead on the spot), he reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his daughter--all of those hanging in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for years to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party, and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music. Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovich's career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant meditation on the meaning of art and its place in society.

Captain Tom Barnes, leading British troops in the war zone. Two boys growing up there sharing a prized bicycle and flying kites before finding themselves estranged once foreign soldiers appear in their countryside. The man who trains one boy to fight the other's father as well as the infidel invaders. The family and friends who radiate out from these lives on all sides of this conflict. These are the people who populate this fiercely dramatic and moving novel. But we see them not as they see themselves, but as all the objects surrounding them do: shoes and boots, a helmet, a trove of dollars, a drone, that bike, weaponry, a bag of fertilizer, a medal, a beer glass, a snowflake, dog tags, an improvised explosive device--forty-five different inanimate narrators whose unexpected voices tell the story of this heart-stopping journey. Anatomy of a Soldier gives us a way to clearly see and understand those who fight wars in ways we never have before. . THE AUTHOR: Harry Parker was twenty-six, a captain of British troops, when he stepped on the wrong patch of dirt in Afghanistan--out of modesty, he doesn't mention exactly where in this novel--and lost one leg there and another after he was choppered out of hell on earth. THE AUTHOR, II: Despite losing both his legs, Parker is a keen sportsman, and in 2012 he carried the Olympic torch--at Prince Harry's request--on the day of the Paralympic opening ceremony. And he is up for doing publicity, which will be a walk in the park for the soldier he was trained to be. He also happens to be extraordinarily engaging, humble, and sympathetic. THE FIRST ADVANCE COMMENT: Edna O'Brien, queen of Irish literature at the age of eighty-five, says of this thirty-two-year-old's first novel: "This is a brilliant book, direct from the battle zone, where all the paraphernalia of slaughter is deployed to tell its particular and savage story." TOP-DRAWER PUBLISHERS have already bought rights in England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, and Spain, with many more to follow. COMPARABLE TITLES: There's good news here, starting with Kevin Powers's much awarded The Yellow Birds (2012), set in Iraq. Also, Phil Klay's National Book Award champion Redeployment (2014), set like this novel in Afghanistan. And finally there's Tim O'Brien's legendary The Things They Carried (1990), out of Vietnam.

When Joseph Mitchell published his profile of Joseph Gould in the December 1942 issue of The New Yorker, he deemed Gould's purportedly masterful but rarely seen Oral History project, which allegedly consisted of nine million words detailing everything anyone ever said to him, "the longest unpublished work in existence." But Mitchell, in fact, hadn't read more than a few pages of the Oral History. The manuscript seemed to have gone missing, along with other of Gould's possessions--his hair, his sight, his teeth--as he began to sink deeper into poverty, drink, and destitution. And as Gould neared the end of his life, lying pathologically, begging for money from friends and strangers alike, and deflecting publishers' requests to read his work, Mitchell couldn't help but wonder: Had the Oral History ever existed? After Gould's death in 1957, Mitchell wrote a second profile in which he insisted that it did not. Was Mitchell wrong? Joe Gould's Teeth is a literary investigation of this enigmatic figure of the early twentieth century, who, despite doubts surrounding his sanity, captured the imaginations of the most prominent writers and artists of the time. Renowned master of historical storytelling Jill Lepore carefully unravels the riddle of Joe Gould and his missing manuscript, probing deeply into our collective self-conscious, the nature of art, and how we define our reality for the future. Complete with appearances from the likes of E. E. Cummings, Ezra Pound, and Augusta Savage, and set against the backdrop of inter-war and post-war New York's glamour and grime, Joe Gould's Teeth is not only the portrait of one man's mind, but also a profound meditation on the limits of how well one ever knows another person. . AUTHOR: Lepore's Book of Ages was a finalist for the National Book Award, and The Wall Street Journal wrote that The Secret History of Wonder Woman "brings that history vividly into the present, weaving individual lives into the sweeping changes of the century." SUBJECT: Joe Gould is as unexpected and irresistible a subject as Jane Franklin, the subjectof Book of Ages. Lepore draws on a wealth of archival records and documents, including Mitchell's own papers, to bring Gould to life and to explain how his story continues to haunt writers and readers alike. AUDIENCE: Readers of literary investigations (A.J.A. Symons's The Quest for Corvo; Janet Malcolm's The Silent Woman; Nicholson Baker's U and I), as well as readers of the original New Yorker pieces about Joe Gould by Joseph Mitchell and Jill Lepore.

By an internationally renowned human-rights lawyer, professor of law at University College, London, and author of Torture Team ("This may well be the most important book to appear since 9/11" --Robert Harris). In 2010, Philippe Sands was invited to give a lecture on genocide and crimes against humanity at Lviv University in Ukraine, which he accepted with the intent of learning about the extraordinary city that was home to his maternal grandfather, a Galician Jew who had been born there a century before and who'd moved to Vienna at the outbreak of the First World War, married, had a child (the author's mother), and then moved to Paris after the German annexation of Austria in 1938. It was a life that had been shrouded in secrecy with many questions not to be asked and fewer answers offered if they were. As the author uncovered, clue by clue, the deliberately obscured story of his grandfather's mysterious life and of his mother's journey (alone?) as a child surviving Nazi occupation, Sands realized that his own field of humanitarian law had been forged by two men--Rafael Lemkin and Hersch Lauterpacht--each of whom had studied law with the same professors, in the city of his grandfather's birth, at Lviv University . . . Lemkin and Lauterpacht had not known one another at school and yet at parallel times had forged diametrically opposed revolutionary concepts of humanitarian law that had changed the world--and, Sands writes, that each had dedicated his life to having his legal concept incorporated as a centerpiece for the prosecution of Nazi war criminals . . . The author writes of a third man, Hans Frank, Hitler's personal lawyer, who, as governor-general of Nazi-occupied Poland, ordered the death of more than a million Jews and Poles, among them the familes of the author, and of Lemkin and Lauterpacht. Sands pieces together how all three lives converged in October 1946, in courtroom 600 of the Palace of Justice at the International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg. The book's importance in its exploration of the far-reaching concepts of "genocide" and "crimes against humanity," revolutionary ideas that established humanitarian law. For anyone interested in the history of law; in humanitarian law; World War II; the Nuremberg Trials; Nazi Germany.

The eleventh edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica--the most revered edition of English-language encyclopedia--represents the high point of optimism and belief in human progress that dominated Anglo-Saxon vision since the Enlightenment, combining scholarship and readability in a way no previous encyclopedia had or ever has again. In this book, Boyles tells the story of the American tycoon Horace Everett Hooper--bold, brash, autodidact, natural-born salesman--who found an outdated set of reference books gathering dust in a warehouse, bought them for almost nothing, repackaged them, and sold them on credit as "one-shelf libraries" to farmers . . . His Western Book and Stationary Co. became one of the largest publishers in the Midwest, selling books directly to readers, bypassing booksellers, and forging a model that was forever after emulated. The author writes how Hooper and his partner, Henry Haxton, a brilliant Chicago adman, found the Encyclopædia Britannica, went to the then-floundering London Times in search of new ways to increase its readership, and produced and sold the Encyclopædia Britannica through the then unheard of notion of the Times Book Club. We see how, in a frenzy of effort and fanatical conviction, the eleventh edition was put together--44 million words, 40,000 entries by 1,500-odd contributors, 200 of them women...contributions by the most admired writers, thinkers, and scientists of the day, including John Muir, Lord Macaulay, G. K. Chesterton, Edmund Husserl, Bertrand Russell, W. M. Rossetti, among others. And we see how it all fell apart--the arrangement with the Times, the eleventh's editorial policy (it caused a scandal), a courtroom battle--before it came together again and continued on with Cambridge University Press. . An extraordinary publishing story: how the Encyclopædia Britannica was saved from bankruptcy; how the fortunes of the London Times were reversed; how both institutions were taken over by Americans; and how the creation of the Times Book Club to sell the eleventh edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica changed publishing forever. Encyclopædia Britannica, eleventh edition: The making and selling of this edition, steeped in world confidence and a summary of the world's knowledge before the outbreak of WWI, considered by many to be "the last great work of the age of reason" (The New Yorker). History: A portrait of the end of the age of empire at its height, with imperialism unchallenged, the world ruled by monarchs, and the tragedy of the modern world still in the future.

Two half sisters, Effia and Esi, unknown to each other, are born into different villages in eighteenth-century Ghana. Effia is married off to an Englishman and will live in comfort in the palatial rooms of Cape Coast Castle, raising children who will be sent abroad to be educated before returning to the Gold Coast to serve as administrators of the empire. Esi, imprisoned beneath Effia in the Castle's women's dungeon and then shipped off on a boat bound for America, will be sold into slavery. Stretching from the wars of Ghana to slavery and the Civil War in America, from the coal mines in the American South to the Great Migration to twentieth-century Harlem, Yaa Gyasi's novel moves through histories and geographies and captures--with outstanding economy and force--the troubled spirit of our own nation. She has written a modern masterpiece. . MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT: This is as brilliant and relevant a novel as any we could hope to publish, and has the potential to win awards, be widely adopted for courses, and become a classic. The launch of an important new voice. EARLY BUZZ: Knopf prevailed in an auction that included ten publishers. INTERNATIONAL LITERARY EVENT: Auctions were conducted in nineteen countries, with sales pending in several others. The book's publication is destined to be a global literary event. SUBJECT: This is a powerful, emotional, major American novel about race and history, about the lingering residue of colonialism and slavery in the fabric of American culture. Truly a book for our times. AUTHOR: Born in Ghana, raised in Alabama, Yaa Gyasi is just twenty-six years old. Her authority and vision are astonishing.

Craft is essential given the task Gyasi sets for herself--drawing not just a lineage of two sisters, but two related peoples. Gyasi is deeply concerned with the sin of selling humans on Africans, not Europeans. But she does not scold. She does not excuse. And she does not romanticize. The black Americans she follows are not overly virtuous victims. Sin comes in all forms, from selling people to abandoning children. I think I needed to read a book like this to remember what is possible. I think I needed to remember what happens when you pair a gifted literary mind to an epic task. Homegoing is an inspiration." --Ta-Nehisi Coates "Homegoing is a remarkable feat--a novel at once epic and intimate, capturing the moral weight of history as it bears down on individual struggles, hopes, and fears.

There are two stories in play here, bound together when the elderly, demented Harry Eide escapes his sickbed and vanishes into the forbidding northernmost Minnesota wilderness that surrounds the town of Gunflint--instantly changing the Eide family, and many other lives, forever. He'd done this once before, thirty-some years earlier, in 1963, fleeing a crumbling marriage and bringing along Gustav, his eighteen-year-old son, pitching this audacious, potentially fatal scheme to him--winter already coming on, in these woods, on these waters--as a reenactment of the ancient voyageurs' journeys of discovery. It's certainly a journey Gus has never forgotten. Now--with his father pronounced dead--he relates its every detail to Berit Lovig, who'd waited nearly thirty years for Harry, her passionate conviction finally fulfilled for the last two decades. So, a middle-aged man rectifying his personal history, an aging lady wrestling with her own, and with the entire history of Gunflint. .

Generations' worth of the families Eide, Aas, and Grimm, as well as the ferocious feuds between them. Sagas reaching back to Norway. Secrets desperately withheld and ultimately revealed. In this and other respects, it will remind many readers of the great Jim Harrison's Legends of the Fall. A REAL ADVENTURE: Geye's "a first-rate adventure novelist," according to The New York Journal of Books, and he delivers a superabundance of physical marvel here: the Devil's Maw of a river, a fantastic variety of beloved maps, ice floes and waterfalls, endless portages, a magical abandoned shack, Thanksgiving and Christmas improvised at the far ends of the earth, the brutal cold, a magnificent bear, the sheer beauty of it all. And men hunting other men. WHAT THE AUTHOR BRINGS WITH HIM: The adoration of many peers, reviewers, and virtually every bookseller in the Upper Midwest, and many more all over the country. With Geye, touring possibilities are endless. WHAT ELSE?: Comparisons to David Guterson, Bob Olmstead, Leif Enger, Ivan Doig, even John Cheever for his fairy-tale ability. But also Tim Gautreaux (also great on frontier life) and Kent Haruf, since Geye owns Gunflint and its environs as Haruf does Holt, and Kent would've loved this novel.

The National Security Agency grew out of the legendary codebreaking programs of World War II that turned the tide of Allied victory by cracking the famed Enigma machine and other seemingly impenetrable German and Japanese codes. But things became murky in the postwar years, when our intelligence community found itself targeting not battlefield enemies, but suspected spies, foreign leaders, and even American citizens. Now Stephen Budiansky--a longtime expert in cryptology--tells the fascinating story of how the NSA came to be, and of its central, often fraught and controversial role in the major events of the Cold War, from the Korean War to the Cuban Missile Crisis to Vietnam and beyond. He also guides us through the fascinating challenges faced by cryptanalysts, and how they broke some of the most complicated codes of the twentieth century. A riveting, essential history of the underbelly of the Cold War. . CONTEMPORARY RELEVANCE: Budiansky puts today's NSA headlines in historical context, showing how our intelligence efforts have always been guided by the principle of "getting everything," and how this has created conflicts of interest from the start. HOW THE SPIES DO IT: Budiansky breaks down the process of cryptanalysis and makes it accessible to general readers, often with illustrations of the actual code. Aside from readers interested in codes, this will be of interest to people who love puzzles in general, which gives us an excellent market to target. CODES AND PUZZLES: For readers of books like The Code Book by Simon Singh, Code Warriors has several appendices that dive into the intricacies of Cold War codebreaking. We see how various encryption machines worked and the science and logic behind the great breakthroughs. The placement of this material in the appendices allows readers to study it at their own pace without breaking up the flow of the narrative. COLD WAR HISTORY: Even people familiar with the history of the Cold War will be surprised to see how many events involved the NSA: the vast majority of our Cold War intelligence came through intercepting signals (NSA) rather than running spies (CIA). BALANCE AND PERSPECTIVE: Budiansky's approach is quite different from that of James Bamford or Matthew Aid. Their books are works of investigative journalism primarily aimed at exposing the NSA's reach. Code Warriors tries to understand why and how the NSA does what it does.

In a Stockholm city park, police discover the hideously abused body of a young boy. Detective Superintendent Jeanette Kihlberg heads the investigation, battling an apathetic prosecutor and a bureaucratic police force unwilling to devote resources to solving the murder of a nameless immigrant child. But with the discovery of two more mutilated children's corpses, it becomes clear that a serial killer is at large. Jeanette turns to therapist Sofia Zetterlund for her expertise in psychopathic perpetrators, and their lives become increasingly intertwined, professionally and personally. As they draw closer to the truth about the killings--working together but, ultimately, each on her own--we come to understand that these murders are only the most obvious evidence of a hellishly insidious evil woven deep into Swedish society. As viscerally dramatic as it is psychologically intense, The Crow Girl is a tale of almost unfathomably heinous deeds, and of the profound damage--and the equally profound need for revenge--left in their wake.

Saturday, October 10, 1998. Fielding Marshall is hiking on the Appalachian Trail. His beloved dog--a six-year-old golden retriever named Gonker--bolts into the woods. Just like that, he has vanished. And Gonker has Addison's disease. If he's not found in twenty-three days--he will die. The search begins. Fielding and his father, John, are dispatched to the field. They have the family's other dog, Uli, in tow. Combing the trails, Fielding and his father bond like never before. Fielding's sister, Peyton, calls and talks him through some of his lowest moments. And--at home--Fielding's mother, Virginia, sets up a command center. Virginia becomes a field general. With a map and a phonebook at her side--she contacts animal shelters, police precincts, general stores, community centers, newspapers, radio stations, churches, and park rangers. She is tireless. The local paper in Waynesboro writes a small story about the family's search. The story hits the AP Newswire. Tips--many of them of questionable authenticity--pour in from across the country. But as the search continues, the Marshalls realize they may not survive losing him. Even as the wounds of their past return to haunt them and threaten to jeopardize everything--they know they have one mission: Bring Gonker home. With a big heart, intelligent humor, and a deft touch, Pauls Toutonghi tells this true tale of loss, love, and resilience. Dog Gone is by turns a story about how a family comes together in a crisis--and the way heroism can assert itself in the little things we do each day. COMMERICIAL UPSIDE: A race against time! A matter of life and death! An adorable, rambunctious dog who has gone missing! A family coming together! Everyday heroes! Have I mentioned the dog?! Dog Gone is a one-of-a-kind book. It's like Marley & Me meets All Over but the Shoutin' meets A Walk in the Woods. AUDIENCE: Dog owners will love this book. Not only does it show the healing powers of dogs, but it shows (and justifies!) just how far we will go to save a beloved pet. To that point, this is a book for ALL pet owners, even cat people. LOST PETS: At this moment, in every town--large or small--a pet is lost. A flyer has been stapled to a telephone poll, with the word LOST above the cutest picture they had available to them (unless it's a lost snake because that's just scary). This book is about that universal experience, and its happy ending will help give all those folks hope that they too will find their pets. FAMILY STORY: Yes, this is a "dog book," but it is also the story of an American family and how they supported one another through hard times. AUTHOR: Pauls is extremely charming and inquisitive. His readings are incredible. Booksellers will love him. Other writers already love him. He is married to Peyton Marshall, a novelist published by FSG, and they are adored in the writers' community. This is Pauls's first nonfiction book, which should allow us to expose him to a whole new readership. "A hugely entertaining book. It's got humor, pathos, gorgeous prose, and its details are arranged with the precision of a jeweler." --Tom Bissell About the Author/Illustrator Author Residence: Portland, Oregon Pauls Toutonghi is a first-generation American. He has been awarded a Pushcart Prize, and his writing has appeared in Granta, Tin House, One Story, VQR, The Millions, The Rumpus, Zoetrope, the Boston Review, and many other periodicals.

At an annual fête in St. Denis, Bruno's biggest worry is surviving in the rally race. The rally and a classic car parade are new to the festivities and draw a spate of outsiders with deep pockets, big-city egos, and, in the case of a young Englishman, an intriguing story. It's the tale of a Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, lost somewhere in southern France during World War II. Among the most beautiful cars ever made, one of only four of its kind, it is worth untold millions and drives its pursuers mad with greed. As the parade begins, a local scholar turns up dead--and Bruno suspects unnatural causes. To complicate matters, a family squabble over land brings to St. Denis a comely Parisienne who turns Bruno's head. And: there's mounting evidence that the events in St. Denis are linked to international crime. As usual, Bruno's village life offers its challenges--but there is always time for a good bottle and a home-cooked meal. . GROWING SALES: Bruno titles across all platforms now exceed 190,000 copies sold, and each new book wins new readers for the series as well as spurring backlist sales. UNIQUE HOOK: Fatal Pursuit will introduce a wider audience to the fascinating story of the Bugatti Type 57, one of which is owned by Ralph Lauren, providing an opportunity to widen the audience by targeting car aficionados. ONLINE PRESENCE: Walker has two eBook originals with more than 14,000 in combined downloads. He actively updates his website (www.brunochiefofpolice.com), which has a loyal following and features a personal blog, recipes from the books, travel suggestions for the Périgord region, and more. AUTHOR APPEAL: Walker has charisma plus. He has committed to a full slate of media and in-person appearances--booksellers love his visits--and we will add more to his schedule this time around.

His candidate, the sitting vice president, is neck and neck with an anti-immigrant, right-wing populist as the Republicans head into their first brokered convention in decades. Callahan, a New Orleans native without much affection for his hometown, is frantically trying to coordinate the convention and round up delegates when his estranged brother shows up, asks for an inconvenient favor, and threatens to reveal embarrassing family secrets if JD says no. Soon after, a series of bombs sets off a mass panic and tilts the convention toward the vice president's law-and-order opponent. As JD scrambles to contain the damage, he finds himself contending with a sexy, gun-toting local gossip columnist, an FBI agent convinced that JD is cynical enough to set the bombs himself, and a host of family secrets. The Innocent Have Nothing to Fear is a hilarious, sharply entertaining whodunit and a knowing satire of our political culture--the perfect summer read for everyone who says he or she is sick to death of the 2016 campaign, but can't stop reading about it. . TIMING: This is a sharp and entertaining political satire, published into the heart of the 2016 presidential campaign. INSIDER'S PORTRAIT: Stuart Stevens has worked on several presidential campaigns and knows this world better than almost anyone. He captures the strange mix of cynicism and idealism, as well as the bare-knuckle tactics that make our political system so endlessly fascinating. CONTROVERSIAL: Stuart's portrait of this world--from journalists to political operatives to the politicians themselves--is as scathing as it is entertaining, and it may ruffle some feathers. MEDIA: Stuart is in high demand as a political commentator and will be on all the key shows leading up to the elections. The book is a natural fit for those audiences and discussions and will be highlighted throughout.

Gail Buckland's text, interwoven throughout and written with a grasp and a profound understanding of the history of photography, makes clear the importance and groundbreaking nature of this work and writes of the photographers and their technical and artistic advancements that, against all odds, captured the instant of the sport. Here are the classic images that capture the uncapturable, that allow us to experience the "kinetic beauty," that give us the essence and meaning--the transcendent power--of sports. The Brooklyn Museum will open Who Shot Sports as their major spring exhibition on July 15, 2016, to coincide with the book's publication, and will run for an unheard of, for them, six months, until January 2017.

When Jen takes a poorly defined job at a start-up chaired by Leora Infinitis--a wealthy sit-com actress and celebrity philanthropist--she finds herself swept into a toxic office culture ironically steeped in the language of uplift and self-discovery. The foundation's aim is ostensibly to empower women, but its all-female staff spends their time devising acronyms for useless programs, ruthlessly undermining one another, and stroking Leora's ego. Amid the absurd operations of the foundation, Jen's status anxiety, professional frustrations, and her fear that she may never have a baby begin to threaten her relationship with her husband and her two best friends. Ferociously intelligent, Break in Case of Emergency is a scathingly funny satire of celebrity do-goodism, as well as a heartfelt exploration of the difficulty of navigating female friendships as they shift to accommodate marriage and family, and the unspoken tensions that can erode even the strongest bonds. . LITERARY AND COMMERCIAL: This is both super-smart and frothy--brainy and accessible--summer reading with style and panache. TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC: The novel will have enormous appeal to young women in their 20s and 30s experimenting with first jobs and adult life. IMPRESSIVE DEBUT: Fresh, witty, and exceptionally sure-handed, Winter's novel delights with withering observations of the nonprofit world, feminist organizations, relationships, class anxieties, and pretty much anything in the modern world she can sink her sharp teeth into. A terrific new voice. AUTHOR: A former arts editor at Time and O, currently Features Editor of Slate, she is articulate, young, and highly promotable.

When Dr. Adam Knox served with an NGO in Central African Republic, his attempt to protect patients from a brutal militia ended in disaster and disgrace. Now he runs a clinic near Los Angeles's Skid Row, making ends meet by making house calls--for cash and no questions asked--on those too famous or too criminal to seek other medical care. When a young boy is abandoned at his clinic, Knox is determined to find his family and save him from the not-so-tender mercies of the child welfare bureaucracy. Knox's search for the volatile woman who may or may not be the boy's mother leads him and his friend--former Special Forces operator Ben Sutter--into a labyrinth of human traffickers, Russian mobsters, and corporate security thugs, and to a powerful, secretive, and utterly ruthless family that threatens to destroy Dr. Knox and all that he holds dear. .

SERIES: This novel won't be the last readers see of DR. KNOX. We already have a sequel signed up. MAJOR MARKETING CAMPAIGN (See Marketing and Publicity) HOUSE AUTHOR: Spiegelman is an author we have been building--you'll remember his previous series featuring John Marsh, as well as his stand-alone, Thick as Thieves. He's got the bona fides, and sales have been growing. It's time to break him out. REVIEWS: Spiegelman's books have all earned him raves. (Just look at the ones below!) This one will be no different. Praise for Thick as Thieves "A complex, satisfying tale.... Spiegelman's sharp prose and deft plotting elevate this Ocean's Eleven-style caper story." --Entertainment Weekly "Heart-pounding, pulse-racing, stomach-dropping moments.... [Spiegelman's] prose creates a special tension and pictorial vividness, to add to the book's intelligently structured thriller plot. Readers may find themselves lingering over many of these well-wrought phrases before racing to the final exciting page." -- The Wall Street Journal "A pure delight.... Heists, money-laundering, and smart plotting in a novel that's reminiscent of Elmore Leonard's best work." --Jeffery Deaver About the Author/Illustrator Author Residence: Rigefield, Connecticut Peter Spiegelman is the author of Thick as Thieves, and the John March novels, Black Maps (winner of the 2004 Shamus Award for Best First P.I.

When we first meet Zwazo Delalun--Zo--as a young orphan in a fishing village in Haiti, he already possesses every trademark of a hero: he's handsome, strong, independent, honest, courageous, and determined to make a life for himself, on his own terms. As he grows up, Zo comes to possess something else, too--an unfailing instinct for how to make a woman happy. And yet he has never been in love. Until the morning when, working under the broiling sun as a day laborer, he meets the stunning twenty-one-year-old Anaya. Instantly, fiercely, the two are attracted to each other. But Anaya's rich and powerful father wants her to marry the man he has chosen for her--a well-regarded doctor, just like himself. Zo and Anaya therefore love in secret, wherever they can, and at any hour they can find. But just as they think they have found a way to be together, an unstoppable force crosses their path: an earthquake that roils the ground beneath their feet and rips their country apart. Lost to one another, wounded, each fears the other has died. In the face of the suffering that blankets the island, Zo must risk everything to try to find the woman he loves. Impassioned and suspenseful, this luminous debut captures the sensory splendor of Haiti as it tells an unforgettable story--of love and heartbreak, forgiveness and redemption. . DEBUT: A staggeringly immediate, fresh new voice that will garner major critical attention. Miller gives us a Haiti drawn with elemental power. COMPS: The richness and verisimilitude about the Caribbean of the work of Edwidge Danticat, Jamaica Kincaid, and Madison Smartt Bell; a gripping story with the unabashed romance of Gabriel García Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera; and a evocative journey to a magical, culturally rich landscape, recalling prior breakout debuts: Téa Obreht's The Tiger's Wife, Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, and Tiphanie Yanique's Land of Love and Drowning. INSPIRATION: Miller rushed to Port-au-Prince as a volunteer medic after the earthquake hit in 2010. While there, he met a man whose life would become the foundation for this modern-day Romeo-and-Juliet tale. Miller is a young star in the making with a compelling backstory that will attract off-the-book-page coverage. 978-1-101-87412-7 $26.95/$35.95 Category: Fiction BISAC 1: Fiction - Cultural Heritage BISAC 2: Fiction - Magical Realism BISAC 3: Fiction - Literary Page Count: 368 Trim Size: 5-5/8 x 8-1/4 Spine/Depth: 37/32 Carton Count: 12 .

Daniel Sullivan, a young American professor reeling from a failed marriage and a brutal custody battle, is on holiday in Ireland when he falls in love with Claudette, a world-famous sexual icon and actress who fled fame for a reclusive life in a rural village. Together, they make an idyllic life in the country, raising two more children in blissful seclusion--until a secret from Daniel's past threatens to destroy their meticulously constructed and fiercely protected home. What follows is a journey through Daniel's many lives told in his voice and the voices of those who have made him the man he is: the American son and daughter he has not seen for many years; the family he has made with Claudette; and irrepressible, irreverent Claudette herself. Shot through with humor and wisdom, This Must Be the Place is a powerful rumination on the nature of identity, and the complexities of loyalty and devotion--a gripping story of an extraordinary family and an extraordinary love. . BEST-SELLING, AWARD-WINNING BRITISH WRITER: The Hand That First Held Mine won the Costa Novel Award for the best novel of the year in 2010, The Distance Between Us won the Somerset Maugham Award. O'Farrell's work garners first-rate reviews and massive sales overseas. This Must Be the Place is superbly written and utterly engrossing, a perfect summer read that has the potential to deliver commensurate sales and stature in America. SETTING AND SUBJECT: Hilarious set pieces in Los Angeles provide a brilliant, satirical look at contemporary Hollywood, celebrity culture, and fame, and the remainder of the novel is beautifully set in rural Ireland. Along with the novel's central love story, a terrific hook for American audiences. COMPS: O'Farrell's gifts for creating page-turning novels that abound in texture and emotion are comparable to those of Maria Semple, Meg Wolitzer, Kate Atkinson, and Anne Tyler. This is smart, accessible commercial fiction of the first order.

Over the last four decades, Terry McDonell has been at the helm of some of the most influential beacons of American journalism: from his early days at Outside through tenures at Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and, most recently, as cofounder of LitHub. Now he tells us what really happens between editors and writers--behind the scenes and between the lines--with deadlines ticking. Here are intimate portraits of the most important (and most eccentric) journalists, novelists, and media personalities: from Hunter S. Thompson and George Plimpton to Richard Ford and James Salter; from David Carr and Steve Jobs to Jimmy Buffett and one remarkable Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. And here is an insider's unimpeachable advice on how to get, and keep, the best writers; what makes a great lede and headline; how to style a cover that flies off newsstands (whether or not there's a celebrity on it); how to build the online traffic that translates into dollars; and how--in whatever format--a good editor really works. From the storied past to today's tumultuous media landscape, this is an incisive, galvanizing account of the pressures, joys, and obsessions of a writing and editing life. . AUTHOR: McDonell seems to know everyone in the business and has stories about all of them; his network will be a major asset in promotion. INSIDE LOOK: Like The Devil Wears Prada, The Kid Stays in the Picture, or the acclaimed documentary The September Issue, this book pulls back the curtains on an exclusive, ego-saturated world. As with Michael Herr's Dispatches and Timothy Crouse's classic The Boys on the Bus, it is journalism about journalism, both hilarious and profound. VOICE: McDonell's no-nonsense, matter-of-fact style captures the clip and drama of the writing and publishing universes: it is a reading experience as exhilarating as it is probing and astutely observed. GUIDE: Short chapters on magazine how-tos will be invaluable resources for young writers, or anyone curious about how the news, and stories, are really shaped. INDUSTRY INSIDER: McDonell's career spans the 1970s through today, during which many media outlets--and their founders--have risen and fallen, inside stories that in themselves made headlines. He recognizes the challenges of saving our publishing institutions even as he reaches for new opportunities in the digital age. 978-1-101-94671-8 $26.95/$35.95 Category: Biography BISAC 1: Biography & Autobiography - Personal Memoirs BISAC 2: Biography & Autobiography - Editors, Journalists, Publishers BISAC 3: Language Arts & Disciplines - Journalism Page Count: 384 Trim Size: 5-5/8 x 8-1/4 Carton Count: 12 Illustrations: 18 PHOTOGRAPHS IN TEXT Marketing and Publicity Publicist: Jessica Purcell Marketing Contact: Sara Eagle National Media Appearances, including NPR and print features National Online Interviews, Reviews, and Literary Blog Coverage Men's Magazine Coverage Author Tour, including Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Washington, D.C.

Born in 1921, Marie Ponsot began her career in 1956 with True Minds, one of the famous Pocket Poets pamphlets published by City Lights. After this auspicious beginning, Ponsot went on to an unconventional career and would not publish again until 1981, when Admit Impediment was published by Knopf. Her reemergence--after raising seven children and always writing, if not actively publishing--brought us a writer of mature wit, unusual rhythms and a poetry of sparkling surface, though her ear is tuned always to the deeper music of human feeling. Ponsot values the local and personal as a proving ground for the grand mysteries, and in examining the powerful underground life of women, her poetry is as practical as it is profound. . REVIEW ATTENTION: Ponsot's selected poems, Springing (2002), saw her praised on the cover of The New York Times Book Review, and we should see her similarly celebrated here for this six decades of work which includes some wonderful new poems written during this tenth decade of her life.

Outreach to art history professors and to museums Quote card campaign using illustrations from the book This ravishing book opens a window into the lives, designs, and passions of Mariano Fortuny and William Morris, two remarkable artists who themselves are passions of the writer A. S. Byatt. Born a generation apart in the mid-1800s, Fortuny and Morris were seeming opposites: Fortuny a Spanish aristocrat thrilled by the sun-baked cultures of Crete and Knossos; Morris a member of the British bourgeoisie, enthralled by Nordic myths. Through their revolutionary inventions and textiles, both men inspired a new variety of art that is as striking today as when it was first conceived. In this elegant meditation, Byatt traces their genius right to the source. Fortuny's Palazzo Orfei in Venice is a warren of dark spaces imbued with the rich hues of Asia. In his attic workshop, Fortuny created intricate designs from glowing silks and velvets; in the palazzo he found "happiness in a glittering cavern" alongside the French model who became his wife and collaborator, including on the famous "Delphos" dress--a flowing, pleated gown that evoked the era of classical Greece. Morris's Red House outside London, with its Gothic turrets and secret gardens, helped inspire his stunning floral and geometric patterns; it likewise represented a coming together of life and art. But it was a "sweet simple old place" called Kelmscott Manor in the countryside that he loved best--even when it became the setting for his wife's love affair with the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Generously illustrated with the artists' beautiful designs--pomegranates and acanthus, peacock and vine--among other aspects of their marvel-filled worlds, A.S. Byatt brings the visions and ideas of Fortuny and Morris to vivid life. AUTHOR/BACKLIST: Reviewers and readers are drawn to whatever fascinates the capacious mind of A. S. Byatt. Her most recent novel, The Children's Book, which has nearly 100,000 copies in print across all formats, was hailed by critics from coast to coast, and was named a best book of the year by The Atlantic, the Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and Salon, among others. Her now-classic Possession won the Booker Prize and has sold more than 725,000 copies across formats. NONFICTION: Although best known for her fiction, Byatt has published a number of works of literary criticism. But here she turns to nonfiction--with her eye toward visual arts and fashion--in a way that's new and exciting as well as personal and engaging. FASHION: Liberty prints that often feature Morris's designs are of growing popularity, and as such this book will draw strong interest from women's magazines and among a general fashion audience. FORMAT: A small-format hardcover, beautifully produced with more than 50 full-color images throughout--ideal for museums, libraries, and design and other specialty shops. SUBJECTS: Readers will be drawn into Byatt's own fascination with these designers' works--whether they have heard of them or not. PUBLICATION/TIMING: Chatto will publish in the UK in July 2016, just a month before Byatt's 80th birthday in August. Praise for A. S. Byatt: "Byatt is a gifted observer, able to discern the exact details that bring whole worlds into being." --The New York Times "She has a roving imagination; an uncanny ability to create ageless, read-aloud prose...and a fascination with the variety and uses of art." -- The Washington Post Book World About the Author/Illustrator Author Residence: London, UK A. S. Byatt is the author of numerous novels, including The Children's Book, The Biographer's Tale, and Possession, which was awarded the Booker Prize.

There's a lot about Joan-Marc that his estranged second wife doesn't know--but which he now sets out to tell her. He begins with the failure of his first marriage to an American woman named Helen, describing a vacation they took in a last-ditch attempt to salvage their once-passionate romance. The recollection of this ill-fated trip triggers in him a series of flashbacks through which he narrates his life story, hopscotching between Barcelona and Madrid. Starting from pivotal moments in his childhood--his earliest sexual encounters, his father's suicide, his mother's emotional decline--he moves through the years to the origin of his relationship with Helen and the circumstances surrounding its deterioration. The result is a provocative exploration of memory, nostalgia, romance, the ways in which the past takes hold--a powerful portrait of a man struggling with his illusions about life and love. .

HIGHLY ORIGINAL: The narrative is mostly flashback--playful and layered in its structure, a high-wire act. The first-person voice is distinctive, wry, self-deprecating, and creates an unusually intimate relationship between narrator and reader: we become complicit in the narrator's mistakes and manipulations. GENERATIONAL TOUCHSTONE: Torné has a sharp wit and he skewers the trappings of our modern lives: post-divorce dating, social media, aging parents. He does for forty-somethings what Ben Lerner in Leaving the Atocha Station did for thirty-somethings. INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS: Harvill Secker in the UK will publish alongside us. The book is also being published in Italy, Germany, Holland, Brazil, and France. POLARIZING: Joan-Marc is deeply flawed--and this portrait may be controversial--but we are all the more likely to relate because of it. Praise for Gonzalo Torné "At last a momentous occasion in the landscape of new Spanish writing. One has to go back a long time to find an equivalent to Gonzalo Torné, who joins straight away the top flight of writers, the first of his generation to do so . . . Readers and booksellers, make room for him: great literature still comes forth." --Ignacio Echevarría (Spain's most important literary critic) . About the Author/Illustrator Author Residence: Barcelona Author Hometown: Barcelona GONZALO TORNÉ is the author of two previous novels published in Spain, for which he won the Premio Jaén de Novela and was a finalist for the Premio Nacional de Narrativa. He has also translated work by William Wordsworth and John Ashbery into Spanish. He lives in Barcelona. Translated from the Spanish by Megan McDowell.

By the end of the Civil War, nearly half a million slaves had taken refuge behind Union lines, in what became known as "contraband camps." These were crowded, dangerous places, yet some 12-15 percent of the Confederacy's slave population took almost unimaginable risks to reach them, and they became the first places Northerners came to know former slaves en masse. Ranging from stories of individuals to those of armies on the move to the debates in Congress, Troubled Refuge probes what the camps were really like and how former slaves and Union soldiers warily united there. This alliance, which would outlast the war, helped to destroy slavery and ward off the surprisingly tenacious danger of re-enslavement. But it also raised unsettling questions about the relationship between American civil and military authority, and reshaped the meaning of American citizenship, to the benefit as well as the lasting cost of African-Americans. . TOPICALITY: This is the foundational moment of black citizenship, whose unresolved problems lately have seized the national discourse anew. AUDIENCE: Readers are continuously interested in the American Civil War, its aftermath, and the African-American experience. Witness the success of books such as The Warmth of Other Suns , Drew Gilpin Faust's This Republic of Suffering, and Slavery By Another Name by Douglas Blackmon SUCCESS OF MANNING'S PREVIOUS BOOK: What This Cruel War Was Over was the recipient of the Avery O. Craven Award and a finalist for the Lincoln Prize.

With the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Looming Tower, Lawrence Wright became generally acknowledged as one of our major journalists writing on terrorism in the Middle East. This collection draws on several articles he wrote while researching that book as well as many that he's written since, following where and how al-Qaeda and its core cultlike beliefs have morphed and spread. They include an indelible impression of Saudi Arabia, a kingdom of silence under the control of the religious police; the Syrian film industry, then compliant at the edges but already exuding a feeling of the barely masked fury that erupted into civil war; the 2006-11 Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza, a study in disparate values of human lives. Others continue to look into al-Qaeda as it forms a master plan for its future, experiences a rebellion from within the organization, and spins off a growing web of terror in the world. The American response is covered in profiles of two FBI agents and a chief of the CIA. It ends with the recent devastating piece about the capture and beheading by ISIS of four American journalists and aid workers, and how our government failed to handle the situation. ON SALE 8/23/2016 . LARGE AUDIENCE: Two of Wright's last three books--The Looming Tower and Going Clear- - w e r e New York Times best sellers, and all, including Thirteen Days in September, were on the front cover of The New York Times Book Review, and were reviewed widely elsewhere. TIMELY: September 2016 is the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11--a good time to look back at where we've been and to see where we might be headed in our "war on terror." INFORMATIONAL: Although we've come a long way in understanding what is happening in the Middle East, these pieces will further our knowledge. Wright has added an introduction and some updating of material in the pieces. PUBLICITY: Wright is great at publicity, and a very successful speaker for the Knopf Speaker's Bureau.
