Other Press Newsletter: April 2013 Sent Wednesday, April 10, 2013 April 2013 Dear Friends, We here at Other Press always look forward to April.

Other Press Newsletter: November 2012 Sent Wednesday, November 14, 2012 November 2012 Dear Friends, We've all had the experience of reading an author's work for the first time, and immediately resolving to read everything he or she has ever written. But you know it's true literary love when that resolve goes a step further: to read your favorite author's favorite authors. That's just the project scholar and biographer Anka Muhlstein undertook with her new book, Monsieur Proust's Library. In this month's edition of […]

A new Hoeg novel is always an event, but we've got even more on our docket this month: a memoir by one […]

We're quite proud of our list this season--check out the sidebar (or our full catalog) and you'll see why. We have a soft spot for debuts, but with writing as assured as Kathleen Alcott's, it's hard to believe that The Dangers of Proximal Alphabets is her first novel. Jami Attenberg wrote of […]
