| | | | | | |  | | "I happened to reread Portrait of a Lady this spring, and Gorra's book tells the story of its making, extending from literary criticism into intellectual history, biography, and even travelogue. It's a means to going deeper into a novel I dearly love."
—Radhika Jones, Editor in chief, Vanity Fair |
| | | | |
| | | | | | "A profound and optimistic call to action and reflection. For Piketty, the arc of history is long, but it does bend toward equality. There is nothing automatic about it, however: as citizens, we must be ready to fight for it and constantly reinvent the myriad of institutions that will bring it about. This book is here to help. I am planning to study it closely."
—Esther Duflo, Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Nobel Prize laureate |

| | | | | | "I have lived in the United Arab Emirates for eight years and have always been fascinated by the country's cultures and traditions.… I included this book in my summer reading list because I am eager to discover even further the world of the traditional narrative practiced in the United Arab Emirates."
—Manuel Rabaté, Director, Louvre Abu Dhabi |

| | | | | | "I'm looking forward to reading this account of the 2020 US election, in which AP played a critical role in counting the vote and declaring the winners. As we gear up for midterms, it's important to understand the complex US political climate."
–Daisy Veerasingham, President and CEO, the Associated Press |
| | | | |
| | | | | | "A highly practical and digestible book for managers on how to execute effectively and move from being good to great in terms of getting things done. A great book to give to a team."
–Jen L. Wong, COO, Reddit |
