Fresh off the staggering success of Her Body and Other Parties, Machado returns with this formally daring memoir of domestic abuse.

Daring, chilling, and unlike anything else you’ve ever read, In the Dream House is a singular accomplishment.

With her signature wit, brio, and laser-like clarity of vision, one of our foremost thinkers on gender unveils her unifying theory of America: that our steady diet of pop culture created by and for embittered, entitled white men has stoked our sociopolitical moment. Adam Sandler, South Park, and Pepe the Frog all come under West's withering scrutiny in this funny, hyper-literate analysis of the link between meme culture and male mediocrity.
Life isn't everything.: Mike Nichols, as remembered by 150 of his closest friends.

As the prophet of climate fiction, Vandermeer occupies a singular space in literature. His latest novel follows three astronauts squaring off against a nefarious biotech corporation known only as The Company, which devastated Earth’s biome by releasing bioengineered creatures into the wild. This is a Russian doll of a novel, with each chapter containing worlds upon nested worlds, all of them dreamlike and dark. In this shattered landscape, Vandermeer explores urgent ideas about capitalism, greed, and natural destruction.
