Matthew Salesses! V (Eve Ensler!) Doomsday cults! 26 books out in paperback this February.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all of the new books coming out each month. And, as a result, it’s easy to miss or put off getting books that came out in hardcover, even the ones that garnered all the buzz. But fear not: the paperback reprints of February (also, how is it already February of 2024?) are here. Below, you’ll find a roving selection of books newly released in paperback this month. There are hotly anticipated novels by DK Nnuro, Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Matthew Salesses, and many others; Michelle Dowd’s account of doomsday cult life; Toni Bentley’s fittingly terpsichorean reflections on ballet and George Balanchine; Johan Eklöf’s moving musings on nighttime and the need for darkness in an increasingly bright world; poignant essays by V (Eve Ensler); and much, much more.

A magical, mesmerizing debut!” –Deesha Philyaw A Spell of Good Things – Adebayo, Ayobami Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, A Spell of Good Things (Vintage) “Adébáyọ̀ follows up Stay with Me with this bright and distinctive tragedy….The story’s violent denouement is as devastating as it is inevitable.
