&ldquo;[An] unflinching and poignant debut.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;No Heaven for Good Boys is a compelling, devastating novel with unforgettable characters.

ONE OF THE NEW YORKER'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR"A great work . . . Roth's richest, most rewarding novel . . . funny and profound   . . . as powerful as writing can be." &mdash;The New York Times Book Review "This splendidly   wicked book . . . is among the most remarkable novels in recent years. . . . The   energy of the book is amazing.... Roth is hilariously serious about life and death."   &mdash;Frank Kermode, The New York Review of Books "Roth's extraordinary new novel is   an astonishment and a scourge, and one of the strangest achievements of fictional   prose that I have ever read. . . . It is very exquisite." &mdash;James Wood, New Republic

"This French Canadian import is a welcome antidote to the standard American comics sensibility. The pacing is unhurried, but the story is never less than completely engaging, and each panel is filled with quirky details that give the municipal spaceways a comfortable, lived-in feel."&mdash;Booklist  "Perreault&rsquo;s variety of planetary settings, including the bone-shaped planet Fibula, showcase an endlessly charming imagination at work. . . . Children and adults are equally liable to sneak this book from the other&rsquo;s bookshelf to enjoy its inviting journey.&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Journal "A day in the life of an interplanetary postman becomes a comic, galaxywide romp.&#160;. . . The action is propelled by well-paced panels and humorous dialogue. Whimsical planets populated by quirky characters are created with pastel and earth tones delineated by rounded linework. Fanciful and fun"&mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Perreault&rsquo;s paneling is spot-on as we move through the adventure, and some seemingly dialogue miscues are actually optimized discussion departures about bullying and being judgmental . . . By the end of the journey, the overall takeaways are lessons in tolerance, understanding, trust and overcoming challenges &mdash; positive messages that propel Bob&rsquo;s adventure to a shared storytelling time to be cherished."&mdash;Mountain Times

"Drawing upon maritime myth and Scottish folklore to weave an eerie story filled with magic and music, Hansen intertwines Beet&rsquo;s narrative with historical flashbacks as the mystery unfolds.

“Jordan Landes’s London Quakers in the Trans-Atlantic World: the creation of an early modern community provides essential background for any historian initiating research on seventeenth-century Quakerism. In thoroughly researched and detailed thematic chapters, Landes provides overviews of the Quakers’ institutional structures, communications networks, approach to politics and commerce, their book trade, migration patterns across the Atlantic and their perception of imperial expansion.” (Geoffrey Plank, Quaker Studies, Vol. 21 (1), 2016)

"Azoulay…is not interested in viewers’ emotional responses to images of suffering. It’s not empathy she’s after; she wants action. Images can transform the world, she argues, and the only reason they haven’t yet is because we don’t know how to look at them. The problem isn’t images; it’s us….For many years, I said I didn’t know what to do when I encountered an image of another person in pain or dying or already dead. After reading Azoulay, I could no longer claim that I didn’t know what to do. She had explained the work in detail. The question for me now is whether I am up to the task."---Sarah Sentilles, The New Yorker

Praise for Don&rsquo;t Know ToughCrimeReads Best New Crime Fiction of MarchCrimeReads Most Anticipated Books of 2022 &#160; &ldquo;Eli Cranor&rsquo;s top-shelf debut, Don&rsquo;t&#160;Know&#160;Tough, is Southern noir at its finest, a cauldron of terrible choices and even more terrible outcomes . . . There is a raw ferocity to Cranor&rsquo;s prose, perfectly in keeping with the novel&rsquo;s examination of curdling masculinity.&rdquo;&mdash;Sarah Weinman, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Readers may think they know what happened, but Cranor has some twists in store&mdash;in a plot that calls to mind&#160;Megan Abbott&rsquo;s depictions of claustrophobic competitive cultures. A former quarterback who coached for five years at an Arkansas high school, Cranor brings an insider&rsquo;s understanding of the game, the region and human nature.&rdquo;&mdash;Paula Woods, Los Angeles Times&ldquo;Think 'Friday Night Lights' with a Southern Gothic twist.&rdquo;&mdash;USA Today"Imagine a noir Friday Night Lights written by a cross between Megan Abbott and Harry Crews, and you'll get close to what Eli Cranor's pulled off in Don't Know Tough. It's propulsive, twisty, and unputdownable. Cranor cracks open the complex world of high school football in small town Arkansas, giving us characters who are at once savage and tender and tragic, who are capable of acts of great bravery and betrayal. This is a book that shocks us into a new way of seeing. It's lean, muscled up, no-holds-barred noir. I feel lucky to have read it."&#160; &mdash;William Boyle, author of Gravesend, The Lonely Witness, A Friend Is a Gift You Give Yourself, and City of Margins  &#160; &ldquo;Don't Know Tough really packs a punch. I enjoyed reading between the lines, dreading the trouble Billy was bringing on himself and his fragile life-chances. At the heart of the book is the pull of loyalties&mdash;the football team, the family and religion. The characters involved in all the stresses and strains are well drawn and convincing. It&rsquo;s tough reading, but the humanity shines through.&rdquo; &mdash;Peter Lovesey, author of the Peter Diamond mysteries, in his adjudication of the Peter Lovesey First Crime Novel Contest &#160;"Eli Cranor knows the underbelly of Friday night lights in this stunning  debut that bleeds authenticity and raw emotion. This young author is a  new voice of the South to watch." &mdash;Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Fallen and The Sinners  "Don't Know Tough is a searing and  stunningly poignant  study in what makes us and what breaks us and  ultimately what brings us  to a place of peace. Eli Cranor is that rare  writer who can make you  gasp, cry and cheer often in the same  paragraph.&rdquo; &mdash;S.A.&#160;Cosby, New York Times best selling author of Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland&ldquo;Don't Know Tough is a powerful and moving debut. Eli Cranor's writing is honest and unflinching. But what ultimately elevates this novel is its surprising tenderness. I read it in one sitting, and it'll stay with me.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;James Kestrel, author of Five Decembers, Edgar Award Finalist for Best Novel&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t Know Tough is a gripping novel about rage and trauma, redemption and damnation, football and family and brutality in close quarters. Cranor&rsquo;s characters bristle with desperation and frustrated masculinity, a volatile cauldron of emotion that brings tension to every page.&rdquo;&mdash;Steph Cha, author of Your House Will Pay &ldquo;I loved this book. Cranor blends noir and football masterfully, with the deft touch of Megan Abbott and the hardboiled punch of Ace Atkins. This is the sports crime novel I&rsquo;ve been desperate to read, and I&rsquo;m now unable to shake from my mind. Eli Cranor&rsquo;s debut crackles with voice and power. Don&rsquo;t miss this one.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Alex Segura, award-winning author of Secret Identity, Star Wars Poe Dameron: Free Fall, and Miami Midnight&ldquo;Eli Cranor rockets to the top of the writer-to-watch lists with this debut. Gritty, emotional writing and a deep knowledge of the pain and pride that play out beneath Friday night lights make&#160;Don't Know Tough&#160;a gripping, memorable read. I can't wait to see what Cranor does next.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of Never Far Away&ldquo;Debut novels as good as this are a rare and special thing. Eli Cranor&rsquo;s electrifying prose has me wanting more, and more, and more.&rdquo;&mdash;Adam Christopher, author of Made to Kill&ldquo;In the tradition of the greatest &ldquo;sports&rdquo; books of all time (think DeLillo&rsquo;s End Zone, Lardner&rsquo;s You&#160;Know&#160;Me Al, etc.), Don&rsquo;t&#160;Know&#160;Tough is hardly about football, really. It&rsquo;s about family, expectations, love, growing up, abuse, addiction, and small-town American society; football is merely the means through which author Eli Cranor talks about these issues. That isn&rsquo;t&#160;to say a true football fanatic wouldn&rsquo;t&#160;get a kick out of this book; if you have any in your family, this is the perfect novel to get them over the hump until September.&rdquo;&mdash;Local Voice (Oxford, Mississippi)&ldquo;A searing exploration of the toxic heart of Southern high school football culture, including the human price of winning at all costs; think Friday Night Lights with extra darkness. Readers of Daniel Woodrell and Allen Eskens will appreciate the visceral detail in this Ozarks noir.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;Searing Southern Gothic.&rdquo;&mdash;Neil Nyren, BookTrib&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t Know Tough explores the nexus of class, race, language, and poverty in pushing ordinary teens to brutal acts, and ordinary coaches towards brutal commands. A star player is causing problems for his new coach, who&rsquo;s got one last chance to make it back into his coaching star father-in-law&rsquo;s good graces. The coach thinks he&rsquo;s mentoring the kid. What he&rsquo;s actually doing is far darker.&rdquo;&mdash;CrimeReads&ldquo;The comparison to 'Friday Night Lights' will jump out at readers of this hard-as-nails debut thriller, but, in fact, beyond the thematic link to high-school football, the two stories live in very different worlds. In the celebrated TV show, there is a sense of possibility; in Cranor's novel, as in the best genuine noirs, there is only inevitability.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review&ldquo;A&#160;first novel bristling with dangerous energy . . . Friday Night Darks.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews
