We're thrilled to announce CONNIE, a reimagining of events of THE GODFATHER through the perspective of Don Vito Corleone’s only daughter—written by the beloved and acclaimed novelist Adriana Trigiani. Trigiani, who has made a career writing about Italian American family life, was sought out by the Puzo Estate when they read her Substack essay about the women of THE GODFATHER. In it, Trigiani wrote, “When I searched for the matriarch in The Godfather… she was sorely missing… Maybe we could attempt to tell their stories. Maybe we should.” Connie Corleone is born to a certain kind of privilege and is also hemmed in by it: She’s a woman whose story mirrors those of American women everywhere who refuse to be pigeonholed by what their culture, parents or family thinks they should do with their lives – even if their family is one of the most powerful crime syndicates in the country. Trigiani says, “CONNIE is a novel about how a woman works to forge her own way in a world that’s already decided who she is, what she’s about, and how she should be treated. People underestimated Don Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone at their peril. The same will be true for Connie Corleone.” Forthcoming Fall 2027. Read the full announcement at the link in our bio.

COVER REVEAL Gary Shteyngart is THE SENSUALIST—on sale 11.10.26. 🍸 A frequent contributor to The New Yorker and The Atlantic, Gary Shteyngart is one of the most beloved and viral-y essayists of our day. Now, THE SENSUALIST collects his writings together for the first time—each a delightfully hilarious pursuit of the sublime and the absurd. For Gary, "being a sensualist isn’t about elite pleasures but savoring the best of life that’s all around us. It’s also a political statement. So many awful man-nerds are ruining our lives, taking away our pleasures, turning us into units instead of people... I know that life is tough and the world sucks in great measure, but when we enjoy our hobbies, our obsessions—and most importantly, our friends—the world tastes, feels, looks, sounds and even smells better. So please think of the Sensualist on November 10th, when our capy rolls hot off the press and, hopefully, onto your nightstand." Preorder a copy at the link in our bio!
