the indie NEXT listHothouseThe Art of Survival and the Survival of Art at America’s Most Celebrated Publishing House, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, by Boris Kachka(Simon & Schuster, 9781451691894, $28)“Roger Straus, editor and publisher at FSG, was loved, loathed, feared, and admired, and the publishing house with which he came of age was—and still is—perhaps the mightiest producer of quality literature in America. Hothouse perfectly captures the often uneasy alliance

between commerce and culture. Through anecdotes and firsthand reminiscences, Kachka weaves a compelling and sometimes hilarious history of 20th century American publishing featuring the geniuses, the egotists, and the neurotics—namely the most important voices in writing and publishing—during a golden era of American literature.”

—Mark LaFramboise, Politics and Prose Bookstore and Coffeehouse, Washington, DC
