What a way to start pub day!
@nytbooks review of CLUTCH couldn’t be more generous. Feeling so grateful to be read this way, and to everyone at @tin_house@zandoprojects and Jin Auh for making this book happen! Also all the friends and family that rooted me and my “feral intelligence” on.
NB: algorithm suggested Radiohead, and I think… yes?

Cover Reveal! ✨ @people has the *exclusive* cover reveal for the novel CLUTCH by @emilynemens - out Feb 3, 2026 from @tin_house - an imprint of @zandoprojects !
Emily Nemens’s big-hearted novel follows five women, friends for twenty years, as they go through the biggest challenges of their lives, asking: when you’re hanging on by your fingernails, how can you extend a hand to the ones you love?
Author Jonathan Escoffery raves that, in CLUTCH, “Nemens’ prose dazzles, elevating the group chat, and the friend bond, to something sacred and vital.” ❤️

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR 💀 THE DEAD RINGER 💀
✨ "Full of suspense and action, this captivating Montana Western, set largely in 1935, will have readers’ hearts pumping." — @altajournal
✨ "This is a raw, biblically heated tale about generational trauma, the possibilities of redemption, and predetermined fate. With its parade of blood-spattered victims, its philosophical ponderings, and fiercely lyrical depictions of the American West, this is country noir at its grimmest while at the same time channeling hope. Its intensity never lets up. The best novel yet by a powerfully original artist." — @Kirkus_Reviews (starred 🌟 review)
✨ "Bahr delivers a bold, propulsive tale of violence and vengeance in the early-20th-century American West . . . Thriller fans seeking something off the beaten path should check this out." — @publisherswkly

Blanking. An Annotated Archive of Projects and Thoughts on Architecture – now available around the world!
In this first book on the work and vision of the architecture firm Schaum/Shieh, founders Troy Schaum and Rosalyne Shieh invite their readers into the studio. This is a real and conceptual space where they work on recurring themes: operating within the city at the scale of building (urbanism); the interrelation of materiality, units of form, and building products (tectonics); and ways to collaborate with the life of a building in its context (preservation), among others. In addition to visual material drawn from all stages of the design process, what is equally important to Blanking is what is said and what can be heard in the studio. So much of architectural thinking and knowledge is presented, formulated, and traded in spoken words: the pinup, the meeting, the walkthrough. This material is the medium within which projects are formulated. Those exchanges inform this book, in which ideas and knowledge that are usually only spoken are written down and made accessible to readers.
