THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GLOBAL SENSATION LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY RETURNS . . .

Peck & Peck tells the irresistible story of a young man whose life turns upside down when he is hired by the most prestigious, secretive and dysfunctional poetry journal in the world: the renowned Peck & Peck.

It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants – an ›ear‹ for poetry – is worried about his future. But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most secretive, dysfunctional, and yet prestigious, poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon he's knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers, as well as being privy to the private affairs of their 39 editors on a singular mission: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest.

Hugely original, »Peck & Peck« is both a passionate ode to the written word and a heartwarming, entertaining exploration of all that makes us human.

'Charming, uplifting, soulful, and original, Peck & Peck is the perfect successor to Lessons In Chemistry. If you loved Elizabeth Zott, you will adore Batter Gray' Kristin Hannah
