Peck & Peck
Batter Gray has had a lifetime appreciation for poetry. While he's not much of a writer, he has, as he puts it, "an ear for it". But what does one do with such a specific skill, especially in New York City in 1982?
The answer is Peck & Peck, the most prestigious poetry quarterly in the world. A fortunate series of events lands Batter his dream job at the publication he has admired since high school, and before long he is immersed in the inner workings of the place, including the ongoing battle between the warring Editors in Chief, the titular Peck brothers.
The joyful whimsy that led so many to fall in love with Garmus's debut novel Lessons in Chemistry is once again on full display in this one. Full review coming soon...
