A New Book from Lidia Yuknavitch!!!!

We are thrilled that we will be seeing a new book from award-winning author (and all-around fantastically wonderful person) Lidia Yuknavitch! Verge: Stories will be published on February 4th, 2020, by Riverhead Books.

Not only are we taking pre-orders now for this wonderful book (you can ALWAYS pre-order forthcoming books from Broadway Books), but we are especially pleased to announce that all pre-orders placed with us will receive signed copies of this book. You can place your order and read more about the forthcoming book here.

(priority is given to paid pre-orders)

Please join us as we follow the lead of the National Book Foundation and its Author In Focus program and celebrate the work of James Baldwin throughout 2019!
