Paperback edition of Fry's third novel, following (The Liar) and (The Hippopotamus).
When an ambitious young historian and a holocaust-obsessed physicist meet
in an impromptu blizzard of swirling pages, nothing in the past, present

My Washpot), is also out this month, in Hutchinson hardcover.

Making History

Praise for The Art of Loading Brush "The cumulative force of these lyrical essays takes the reader&rsquo;s breath away, as if we have relearned something essential that contradicts the world all around us . . . Here is a man deeply rooted, wisely aware, offering a manifesto of weighty moral passion. He exposes the counterfeit quality of our dominant life and summons us to know and live differently." &mdash;The Christian Century"In Berry&rsquo;s new book, The Art of Loading Brush, he is a frustrated advocate, speaking out against local wastefulness and distant idealism; he is a gentle friend, asserting as he always has, the hope possible in caring for the world, and your specific place in it . . . The Art of Loading Brush is singular in Berry&rsquo;s corpus." &mdash;The Paris Review  "Berry has faithfully cultivated his given life within the limits of his marginal place in rural Kentucky, and . . . in the essays, stories, and single poem collected in his latest book, he distills his life&rsquo;s varied work into a coherent sense. And like Kentucky bourbon, it is a complex, mature sense, flavored by the fields and forests of his place." &mdash;Englewood Review of Books"Berry's essays, continuing arguments begun in The Unsettling of America 40 years ago, will be familiar to longtime readers, blending his farm work with his interests in literature old and new . . . Vintage Berry sure to please and instruct his many admirers." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  "About everything he loves and everything he regrets he has never written better." &mdash;Booklist (starred review)

The Art of Loading Brush: New Agrarian Writings

"Contentious though they are, Ruddiman's arguments are never mere speculation. The book does an excellent job explaining the basic atmospheric science behind glacial cycles, and it presents convincing quantitative evidence of past atmospheric changes, pointing out the likely role of anthropogenic deforestation and agriculture in the late Holocene. The author's credentials as an established climate scientist lend further weight to the theory."---Sam White, Technology and Culture

"Six stories of romance from six Black young adult authors set this collaborative novel apart, with the tales, all set during a (fictional) summer blackout affecting all of New York City, intertwining as the characters make their way toward a block party in Brooklyn... An easy, entertaining summer read, with each author taking advantage of the premise to write into the underserved space of Black young adult rom-com."
