Ideas That Matter, Storytelling That Lasts


“An undisputed literary event.
Forché’s poems—ever earnest, forcefully

compassionate, often solemn—bear
witness to the suffering of others....

often looking beyond America’s borders,
while holding America to account for the

global consequences of its actions.”

—NPR

“Revelatory... A fresh look that
brings 21st-century vision to bear

on the 19th-century story.”

—The New York Times

“Essential reading... Dougherty
expertly explains the confluence

of microeconomic and historical
forces that have created a housing

shortage so severe.”

—The New York Times Book Review

The World Is Yours for the Reading


“This taut and terrifying book


is among the most closely observed
accounts of Donald J. Trump’s

shambolic tenure in office to date.”

—The New York Times

“Brilliantly conceived... A


continual revelation both about
Shakespeare and about ourselves.”

—Stephen Greenblatt,
author of Will in the World

“Impressive and necessary...


An important contribution to our
understanding of both the Supreme

Court and the law of poverty.”

—The New York Times Book Review
