Publishing This Week: Chris Whitaker, Julia Phillips, Olivia Laing, and 27 more

Publishing This Week View as Webpage Hello Readers, This week we have 30 new and notable books publishing, including two works of nonfiction we plan to feature in our next issue of our digital magazine, The BookBrowse Review. In The Garden Against Time by Olivia Laing, Laing embarks on an exploration of real and imagined gardens inspired by the restoration of her own garden.  Kirkus calls it "an intellectually verdant and emotionally rich narrative journey." For those that enjoy narrative nonfiction, A Gentleman and a Thief by Dean Jobb recounts the true story of the Jazz Age jewel thief Arthur Barry. "Jobb tells Barry's tale with both rigor and pathos, painting a tender portrait of a crook who was never fearsome. This is liable to steal readers' hearts" (Publishers Weekly).  You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section.
