A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FOR CBS, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE BOSTON GLOBE,COUNTRY LIVING, LIT HUB, BOOKPAGE, AND MORE!
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of global sensation Lessons in Chemistry returns with an irresistible, delightful, and tender literary novel set in the publishing world of 1980s New York City about a young man whose life turns upside down when he is hired by the most prestigious, secretive, and dysfunctional poetry journal in the world: the renowned Peck & Peck.
Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest.
It’s 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, muggings are in the streets, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants—an “ear” for poetry—is worried about his future. While all of his friends have real jobs, he’s folding T-shirts at the Gap. As for love? No. Not unless you count Sallie Mae, the student loan tyrant. He hears from Sallie all the time.
But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most prestigious poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon Batter is knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers—twins and enemies—as well as being privy to the private affairs of their thirty-nine editors, whose professed mission is the same: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest.
And by burn, they mean incinerate. Because at Peck & Peck, “good” isn’t good enough, “interesting” doesn’t cut it, plagiarists aren’t tolerated, and parolees run the mailroom. Still want to submit your poem? Go with God.
Welcome to another dazzling and unforgettable novel from Bonnie Garmus. If you loved Lessons in Chemistry, you will love Peck & Peck.

Recensioni della critica
"Deceptively heartfelt."
—Kirkus Reviews
—Kirkus Reviews
"Narrator Seth Numrich delivers just the right mix of innocence, cockiness, and dimwittedness to make this wildly silly and comically perceptive sendup of all things publishing and poetic an absolute listening pleasure. Batter Gray (named after his mother’s dog) has just graduated college and is ready to make it big in the Big Apple. Unfortunately, his only skill is an “ear” for poetry. Luckily, he lands a job at one of the most famous poetry magazines in the world. Numrich is at his best giving entertaining character voices to Batter’s smothering mother, who is keeping a few secrets, and his overbearing boss, who has secrets of his own. Batter then falls in love with the boss’s daughter."
