Named a Best Book of the Fall by Oprah Daily and TIME, and a Most Anticipated Book by The Boston Globe, Country Living and BookPage, Peck & Peck is the latest novel from Bonnie Garmus, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry.
It is 1982 in New York City, and recent graduate Batter Gray is worried about his future. While his friends move into respectable careers, Batter is folding T-shirts at the Gap and wondering what to do with his unusual talent: an instinctive ear for poetry.
Everything changes when he lands a dream job at Peck & Peck, the world’s most prestigious poetry quarterly. Suddenly Batter is surrounded by thirty-nine editors, literary secrets and an escalating rivalry between the journal’s famous twin Editors in Chief, the Peck brothers, who are as competitive with each other as they are uncompromising about the work they publish.
At Peck & Peck, originality is everything. Good is not good enough, plagiarism is unforgivable, rejected submissions may literally be burned, and even the mailroom comes with surprises.
Set inside the publishing world of 1980s New York, Peck & Peck is a tender and sharply observed story about creativity, ambition, truth, rejection and acceptance, following a young man trying to understand both the people around him and the contradictions that shape his own life.
