The Method by Isaac Butler
National Book Critics Circle Award Winner, Nonfiction
The acclaimed cultural history of Method acting--an ebullient account of creative discovery and the birth of classic Hollywood.
Senior Editor Ben Hyman writes, "Beneath its storytelling verve and rigorous research, The Method is grounded in a conviction that what artists make, what artists do—that these things can matter in a very real, political, material sense. This belief is a unifying thread throughout author Isaac Butler's work, including his forthcoming book with Bloomsbury about art, the religious right, and American government in the 1980s and 90s. It's one of the things that inspires me every time I get to engage with Isaac's writing. To see booksellers, readers, and critics identify and celebrate this same energy in The Method: we couldn't have asked for a better or more gratifying reception to the book."
Chasing Me to My Grave by Winfred Rembert as told to Erin I. Kelly
Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize
"A compelling and important history that this nation desperately needs to hear." —Bryan Stevenson
Chasing Me to My Grave presents the late artist Winfred Rembert's breathtaking body of work alongside his story, as told to Tufts Philosopher Erin I. Kelly.
Editorial Director Callie Garnett writes, "We lost a monumental artist and storyteller when we lost Winfred Rembert in 2021. Every time I see this book, I find his etched and dyed leather paintings flashing and glaring differently, now joyfully and now defiantly, and always against forgetting. Thanks to Erin I. Kelly's diligence and devotion, his voice reaches through these pages and lives on. I'll be returning to this book forever."
