&ldquo;This brilliant collection . . . puts his journalism on the same level as his fiction, which is quite some level.&rdquo; &mdash;Salman Rushdie&#160;&#160; &ldquo;The Scandal of the Century&#160;demonstrate[s] that his forthright, lightly ironical voice just seemed to be there, right from the start. . . . He had a way of connecting the souls in all his writing, fiction and nonfiction, to the melancholy static of the universe.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;This collection is a master class on how to write for a newspaper: lush, vivid columns full of information, irony, whimsy, humor, skepticism and rumination, just what one would expect.&rdquo; &mdash;Seymour M. Hersh &#160; &ldquo;M&aacute;rquez&rsquo;s fiction would not exist without his journalism, just as without his fiction his journalism would not exist: they nourished each other. Some of [his] journalistic pieces are every bit as good as his fiction at its best.&rdquo; &mdash;Javier Cercas, author of&#160;Lord of All the Dead

&ldquo;Hidden Valley Road is a riveting true story of an American family that reads like&#160;a medical detective journey and sheds light on a topic so many of us face: mental illness.&rdquo; &mdash;Oprah Winfrey&ldquo;A feat of empathy and narrative journalism.&rdquo; &mdash;Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times &#160; &ldquo;Magisterial . . . A weave of gripping reportage and scientific detective story . . . Hidden Valley Road is destined to become a classic of narrative nonfiction.&rdquo; &mdash;Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star Tribune &#160; &ldquo;The curse of the Galvin family is the stuff of Greek tragedy. Kolker tells their story with great compassion, burrowing inside the particular delusions and hospitalizations of each brother while chronicling the family&rsquo;s increasingly desperate search for help. But Hidden Valley Road is more than a narrative of despair, and some of the most compelling chapters come from its other half, as a medical mystery.&rdquo; &mdash;Sam Dolnick, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;At once deeply compassionate and chilling.&rdquo;&mdash;Karen Iris Tucker, Washington Post&#160; &ldquo;Hidden Valley Road vividly conveys not only the inner experience of schizophrenia but its effects on the families whose members are afflicted . . . With the skill of a great novelist, Mr. Kolker brings every member of the family to life.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard J. McNally, Wall Street Journal&ldquo;True-crime fanatics, this one's for you. . .&#160;mind-blowing."&mdash;Cosmopolitan, Best Non-Fiction Books of 2020&ldquo;A marvel of reportage, research, and style,&#160;Hidden Valley Road raises the bar on what is possible in narrative nonfiction. Robert Kolker dives into the exceptional story of one family besieged by humanity&rsquo;s most mysterious malady. Kolker writes about the Galvin family with elegance and insight while weaving together the decades long quest to understand the genetics of schizophrenia, somehow creating a story that is as haunting and intriguing as a great gothic novel. This book is a triumph, an unforgettable story that you should read right now.&rdquo; &mdash;Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain on Fire and The Great Pretender&ldquo;Hidden Valley Road contains everything: scientific intrigue, meticulous reporting, startling revelations, and, most of all, a profound sense of humanity. It is that rare book that can be read again and again.&rdquo; &mdash;David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon&#160; &ldquo;An extraordinary case study and tour de force of reporting.&rdquo; &mdash;Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind &#160; &ldquo;This broad-ranging, highly readable, and deeply unsettling book tells the story of a family beset with schizophrenia, and in doing so provides meaningful insights into the devastation caused by the disease.&#160;It is, equally, a study of the multiple ways in which familial denial can exacerbate the inherent pain of mental illness, and of the courage required both of those who are themselves diagnosed with it and of those who choose to help and support them.&rdquo; &mdash;Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree &#160;&ldquo;This book tore my heart out. It is a revelation&mdash;about the history of mental health treatment, about trauma, foremost about family&mdash;and a more-than-worthy follow-up to Robert Kolker&rsquo;s brilliant Lost Girls.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me and Give Me Your Hand  &#160; &ldquo;In a narrative that is at once gripping and humane, Kolker tells an ultimately hopeful story of one family&rsquo;s small victories and the slow progress of research that may someday benefit millions.&rdquo; &mdash;Marin Sardy, author of The Edge of Every Day&ldquo;A sweeping yet profoundly intimate story of one family&rsquo;s breathtaking challenges with schizophrenia and humanity&rsquo;s long history of misbegotten efforts to make sense of, and treat, the condition. Like&#160;The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,&#160;this masterfully researched and utterly engrossing book shines a light on individuals who were foundational to medical study&mdash;and subjected to questionable ethics. Your heart will break, your sympathies will swell, and the Galvins will stay with you forever.&rdquo;&mdash;Rachel Simon, author of&#160;Riding the Bus with My Sister&ldquo;A stunning, riveting chronicle crackling with intelligence and empathy . . . Kolker tackles this extraordinarily complex story so brilliantly and effectively that readers will be swept away. An exceptional, unforgettable, and significant work that must not be missed.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist, starred review &#160; &ldquo;Riveting and disquieting . . . Kolker deftly follows the psychiatric, chemical, and biological theories proposed to explain schizophrenia and the various treatments foisted upon the brothers. Most poignantly, he portrays the impact on the unafflicted children of the brothers&rsquo; illness, an oppressive emotional atmosphere, and the family&rsquo;s festering secrets . . . A family portrait of astounding depth and empathy.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review &#160; &ldquo;A powerful look at schizophrenia and the quest to understand it . . . A taut and often heartbreaking narrative . . . A haunting and memorable look at the impact of mental illness on multiple generations.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review

&ldquo;Gripping...Superb...As Marcus Rediker&rsquo;s new book reminds us, the place of the [Amistad] rebellion in popular memory hasn&rsquo;t always been secure.&rdquo;&mdash;The Nation&ldquo;The great strength of this work&mdash;aside from Rediker&rsquo;s vivid style as a writer and meticulous research&mdash;is that he brings the Amistad Africans back to center stage where they have often been pushed to the side.&rdquo;&mdash;Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"Vividly drawn&hellip;this stunning book honors the achievement of the captive Africans who fought for&mdash;and won&mdash;their freedom.&rdquo;&mdash;The Philadelphia Tribune&ldquo;Spectacularly researched and fluidly composed, this latest study offers some much needed perspective on a critical yet often overlooked event in America&rsquo;s history.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A totally enthralling account of the Amistad rebellion and its place in the broader American story of revolt against a great threat to liberty."&mdash;Booklist (starred review)"A first-rate example of history told from the bottom up."&mdash;Kirkus (starred review)"Rediker takes a fresh approach to the Amistad rebellion by focusing on the Africans who revolted rather than on the American political and judicial response, which takes the central place in most previous works."&mdash;Library Journal
