Peck & Peck (English Edition)

Charming, uplifting, soulful, and original, Peck & Peck is the perfect successor to 'Lessons In Chemistry'. If you loved Elizabeth Zott, you will adore Batter Gray. Kristin Hannah It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants - an ear for poetry - is worried about his future. But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most secretive, dysfunctional, and yet prestigious, poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon he's knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers - twins and enemies - as well as being privy to the private affairs of their 39 editors, whose professed mission is the same: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest. Hugely original, brilliantly funny and peopled with unforgettable characters, 'Peck & Peck' is both a passionate ode to the written word and a heartwarming exploration of all that makes us human. It was an absolute delight to escape into Bonnie Garmus's world of delinquent poets, demented publishers and recherché fonts. Her exuberant comedy and freewheeling imagination reminded me of John Irving in his prime. Many congratulations - no difficult second album for Bonnie Garmus - I thought it was even better than her first Clare Chambers, bestselling author of Small Pleasures Magnificent. Captivating, funny, wise and wonderful. 'Peck and Peck' is the book the literary world has been waiting for, and it delivers on every level. I couldnt love it more. Chris Whitaker One of the best books I've ever read. Genius level clever. A superbly crafted, intricate story about life, love and standing up for what you believe in. I absolutely loved it Donna Ashworth Delightful.Reading it was like living in a world of poetry and words, where a building that captured the feeling of both could exist. Also, where a dog can make a difference.Too real to be fantastical, yet fantastically different. I loved it, from the opening page with the various definitions of peck. Perfect Anne Youngson, author of Meet Me at the Museum Full of humor and heart Meg Mason An absolute triumph Jennie Godfrey
