Peck & Peck by Bonnie Garmus

Format & Condition: Hardcover, New

Genre: Literary Fiction; Historical Fiction

In 1982 New York City, recent graduate Batter Gray trades folding shirts for a dream job at a prestigious poetry journal. But Peck & Peck is no ordinary workplace: its feuding twin editors and fiercely opinionated staff draw him into a world where literary brilliance and personal dysfunction go hand in hand.

Bonnie Garmus’s eagerly awaited second novel follows the phenomenon of Lessons in Chemistry and has been named a most-anticipated book by The New York Times and BookPage. I recommend it for readers drawn to witty literary fiction, eccentric characters, and stories about finding your place in a world that doesn’t quite know what to do with you.
