riverhead will also be promoting a number of literary events and competitions , with the chance to win signed books , cash prizes and the opportunity of seeing your own book published and on the shelves of the city’s leading bookshops .
the surrendered by chang - rae lee ( riverhead books ) : the lives of a korean war orphan and a young gi collide in an orphanage where they vie for the attentions of a beautiful yet deeply damaged missionary wife whose elusive love seemed to transform everything .
riverhead picked a good year to turn 20 . in january , the penguin random house imprint released the bestselling on such a full sea , by critical darling chang - rae lee . in the spring , the final book from the late literary giant peter matthiessen , in paradise , also hit the bestseller lists . summer brought emma straub’s the vacationers , one of the biggest books of the beach - going season . and this fall , a brief history of seven killings novelist marlon james landed on the cover of publishers weekly’s issue devoted to the best books of 2014 ( lee also made pw’s cut , in addition to another riverhead author : helen oyeyemi , for boy , snow , bird ) .
how to read the air by dinaw mengestu ( riverhead books ) : a young man leaves behind his marriage and job in new york to retrace his parents’ honeymoon as young ethiopian immigrants , weaving together a family history that will take him from the war - torn country of his parents ' youth to a brighter vision of his life in america today .
take pleasure in your own work . writing is difficult , to be sure , and the dark moments really are dark , but great books were written by people who meant it , loved it , and felt those sentences completely .
names tell the machine goodnight as one of the best sci - fi books of 2018 :
some novels defy explanation , and katie williams ' debut fits in that category . . . . it ' s so beautifully crafted .
in keeping with what kloske describes as riverhead’s “author - focused” atmosphere , the imprint’s writers have participated in various anniversary events throughout the year , in addition to the moth collaboration . at the riverhead holiday party in december , wolitzer and straub will be providing the cookies , novelist andrea chapin the chocolate cake , and the miniature wife writer manuel gonzales and save the date author jen doll the pies .
looking ahead to the next twenty years , kloske acknowledged that despite the steadfast riverhead model , the industry’s fluctuating landscape has made change the new norm . “we do books that decades ago would have been review driven , ” said kloske . “as that space became scarcer , we had to fight harder and come up with new ideas , new gambits . just when you think you have it all sorted , everything shifts a little bit . and that keeps it exciting . ”
the gendarme by mark mustian ( amy einhorn books / putnam ) : a world war i veteran , nearing the end of his life , is suddenly beset by memories of escorting armenians from turkey , churning up troubling details he and others have denied or purposely forgotten .
throughout this milestone year , v - p and publisher geoffrey kloske admitted that those at the imprint have been “looking back a little bit more than we normally would , ” taking stock of what riverhead has accomplished and endured in the last two decades . despite coming of age in one of the most disruptive periods in publishing history , riverhead’s foundational goal has held firm , said kloske . “riverhead was [ created ] for discovery of emerging authors , and that’s something more or less we’ve remained true to , ” he said , adding that “a good portion” of the imprint’s list is devoted to debuts or early - stage authors .
martin also spearheaded the 20th - anniversary celebrations , which kicked off with a panel at the association of writers & writing programs conference in february . in may , at bookexpo america in new york , riverhead hosted more than 400 people at an anniversary party on the hudson river . the highlight of the celebratory year , said kloske , came in september , when , in conjunction with npr’s moth radio hour , five riverhead writers—james , wolitzer , mcbride , maile meloy , and jon ronson , with sarah vowell as host—told stories to a sold - out audience at the great hall at cooper union , in a show titled “20 years of riverhead . ”
to be eligible for the 2011 awards , english - language books must be published or translated into english in 2010 and address the theme of peace on a variety of levels , such as between individuals , among families and communities , or among nations , religions , or ethnic groups .
but now , as we reflect on that success , we must remember that the opportunity hasn’t ended , but just started . and to celebrate this , riverhead is looking forward to discovering more of the area’s writing talent .
lesley nneka arimah has had quite a year ! we knew we wanted to do a riverhead table with lesley from the moment she said that one of her favorite things to do in new york is finding new nigerian restaurants to try with her friends .
riverhead’s main aims when it was launched over fifteen years ago was to help and promote hull’s wealth of unsung , writing talent and raise the creative profile of the city . and , following the city’s unique success in 2017 , that aim remains stronger than ever .
founded as a division of putnam in 1994 by susan petersen kennedy , the new venture was intended to be a home for , as kloske put it , “distinct , idiosyncratic , and voice - driven” projects . riverhead became part of penguin following putnam’s purchase of penguin and , like all of penguin , is now part of penguin random house . “penguin random house has extraordinary capabilities , ” said kloske . “we do everything we can to leverage all those many , many strengths . but riverhead is small . the imprint can fit in the elevator . ”
i wrote most of my first two books on my bed in a little wooden house in newport beach . i wrote sons and daughters of ease and plenty and awayland between my couch in santa barbara , someone else’s couch in santa fe , and cafés in berkeley . soon i’ll be setting up shop in a little studio shed in my new backyard in boulder , colorado !
this long - term publishing strategy of building each author’s career , rather than focusing on a single format or publication , requires “elbow grease” and patience , said kloske . “it’s really hard , ” he continued . “you have to have the ability to work with someone over enough time . . . in order to get to that place where you can finally reach the audience you hope to . ” some of the earliest books the imprint published were by authors who are still with riverhead today—drown , by junot diaz ; the color of water , by james mcbride ( whose the good lord bird won the 2013 national book award for fiction ) ; and lee’s native speaker . the roster of authors now also includes nick hornby , khaled hosseini , anne lamott , and meg wolitzer .
riverhead draft is a new , bimonthly series in which we ask our authors seven questions , touching on everything from their writing routines ( both ideal and real ) and preferred methods of procrastination to what brings them creative sustenance . for our inaugural post , we spoke to the effervescent ramona ausubel , whose short story collection awayland was published in march .
“there is a sense that because we are so small , we are all entrusted with the entire list and making it work , ” said martin . “the overall riverhead list is small enough that our whole publicity and marketing team reads more or less every book we publish . ” martin holds group brainstorms , where all members of the publicity and marketing departments are meant to contribute “out of box” ideas on every title . one broad tactic the imprint employs is partnering with companies to “push book content where it formerly didn’t exist , ” said martin . in the last year , riverhead placed an “especially sexy” etgar keret short story on a dating site , and paired with printer makerbot to create the first - ever 3 - d - printed slipcover for on such a full sea .
as riverhead’s 22 employees stick by the imprint’s original credo , they also strive for innovation—especially in the increasingly difficult task of getting debut novels and relative unknowns into the hands of readers . one way they achieve this , kloske said , is by creating “publicity kits like you’ve never seen before . ” to that end , the imprint hired publicity director jynne dilling martin away from random house in 2011 and , this year , added associate publisher to her title .
kennedy , who will step down as president of penguin group usa at the end of 2014 , echoed kloske’s characterization of the imprint as an intimate , author - driven place . “the quality of the writing was always important and remains so , but first and foremost riverhead was meant to be personal , ” she said . “we wanted to be personally invested in every book we published . . . [ by ] writers who made us laugh , made us cry , enlarged our understanding of the human condition . writers who made each of us feel less alone , and writers who made the ‘other being’ before us more comprehensible . we wanted to be their midwife , their shepherd , their companion , their admirer . and we wanted to look after them as the years went by because we knew they carried something timeless . ”

that was , oh , over a year ago , before she exploded on to the national literary scene . her fantastical and revelatory story collection what is means when a man falls from the sky won multiple prizes–most recently the prestigious nypl young lions award and kirkus prize in fiction–and was named a best book of year by the new yorker , buzzfeed , npr , the root and dozens more publications .
we were finally able to step into the kitchen with lesley earlier this month , and the meal she put together was worth the wait . there were no recipes to follow : just lesley working from memory to teach us how to make a delicious home style nigerian lunch with a cajun twist .
heat oil in a large , heavy - bottomed pot over medium heat . add onion and shallots and cook for several minutes , until translucent . stir in all other ingredients except for the coconut milk and rice , bring to a boil , and let simmer , uncovered , for 8 - 10 minutes . add coconut milk and return to a boil . taste for seasoning . stir in the rice and reduce the flame to low . cover the pot ( make sure it is well sealed ) and let the rice cook for approximately 30 minutes without opening . let stand covered for 10 minutes . fluff before serving .
melt the butter ( yes , all of it ) in a large sauté pan over medium heat . when it is bubbling , add all of the garlic , paprika , and old bay seasoning . stir to combine . add shrimp , raise heat to medium - high , and toss , making sure all of the shrimp gets coated in the sauce . squeeze on lemons . cover and let cook for 6 - 7 minutes , turning occasionally , until shrimp are fully and evenly cooked . serve with the rice , topped with the sauce .
place oil in a deep skillet or wok and place over medium - high heat . test whether it is hot enough by dropping in a slice of plantain . if the oil starts to bubble around the plantain immediately but does not smoke , it is ready . add the slices but only as many as you can fit without crowding . cook until golden brown on one side , then flip and brown on the other . remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a baking sheet covered with paper towels . keep warm in a low oven ( 200 degrees ) until serving .
place 8 cups of the water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil . add the hibiscus flowers and ginger slices . once the water boils , reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes . remove from heat and let cool . in a small saucepan , make a simple syrup : mix the sugar with the remaining two cups of water , bring to the boil , and stir until the sugar dissolves ; let cool . strain the hibiscus - ginger mixture through cheesecloth , gathering the cloth and squeezing to get all of the juice . fill a pitcher ¼ full with the hibiscus - ginger concentrate and stir in freshly squeezed lime juice and syrup to taste . serve over ice in tall glasses , adding vodka to turn it into a proper cocktail !
after cooking we toasted to lesley and her wonderful book with a couple of bottles of palm wine ! then we dug into the most satisfying meal we’ve had in ages .
tiphanie yanique , author of land of love and drowning , will make a special appearance , and you may even win a chance to get your hands on an advance copy of black leopard , red wolf , the first installment in marlon james’ epic fantasy trilogy , dark star . don’t play yourself – come hang , and bring a friend or three !
i’m a slow reader , and it seems like i only get slower as i write more , because i’m trying to pay attention to the story and the prose and how the writer did what she did , and i’m also thinking about any outside context i have for the book , etc . i’m not so much embarrassed about not having read everything ( i have missed so many things ! ! ) , because even if i read all day every day , i’d still have hardly dipped into the pool . however , i do want to remember how to simply disappear into a book without trying to figure it out . that’s something i’m working on this year .
writing ( and reading ) are how i appreciate and try to understand the massively complicated life and lives that we are all living . i know i would write even if no one ever read what i put down .
i have a tiny little writing group in l . a . , which is not where i live , so we meet way less than i wish , but they are always my first readers and even just knowing that makes everything i write better because i want to deserve their attention . one of the best parts about becoming a writer is having friends who write amazing things and getting to love both the person and the work . that’s a magical and lucky gift .
baking bread , cleaning the house , reading magazines . least favorite / most used : the internet . ugh .
we’re certain that everyone will agree that ‘2017 - uk city of culture’ was a fantastic year for hull , when the city was finally given the chance to show the world what a wealth of creative talent it boasts . and how it grasped that opportunity .
during the year we published our usual crop of new releases by local authors including : rachael alexander’s ‘courage queen’ , robert baillie’s ‘waiting for the tide’ and robin chester’s ‘it’s only a few dodgy cells’ . and with others already set for release in 2018 , including bob addey’s ‘changing course’ and david carmichael’s ‘lucky anderson’ , we’re anticipating another exciting twelve months .

but young and his counterpart at penn state - hershey , dr . craig hillemeier , said their boards still must decide whether to wage a legal fight against the federal trade commission , which plans to oppose the merger . they expect the decision within the week .
last week , the ftc and the pennsylvania attorney general announced they will , in partnership , oppose the merger of the two largest harrisburg region - based health systems .
young and hillemeirer on monday declined to address specifics of the ftc ' s stance , aside from calling it
an unfortunate decision .
encroachment by those systems , they said , can deny the harrisburg systems the size and scale needed ensure the highest caliber of health care in the harrisburg region , and to keep local control of such services .
they said penn state - hershey in particular is threatened . hillemeier said penn state - hershey is operating at near capacity in its hospital , raising the prospect of having to turn away patients seeking the advanced care offered at medical schools , and forcing them to facilities in places such as pittsburgh , philadelphia and baltimore .
that would enable penn state - hershey to save
hundreds of millions
in construction costs that otherwise would be passed along to businesses , insurers and patients paying for health care in the midstate .
they also said the increased size and scale attained through merger is needed to enable the two local systems to compete nationally for medical talent , compete for medical research dollars , and offer robust local opportunities for participation in clinical trials .
they depicted penn state - hershey as an institution whose main attributes include its medical school , highly advanced treatments , and research .
we certainly need to keep those jobs and research efforts here in central pennsylvania ,
hillemeier said .
merging the two , they said , would allow elimination of assorted redundancies and give efficiences that would produce affordable health care .
the leaders of the two entities further argued their costs are already lower then their counterparts in other areas , especially those located in cities that threaten to syphon off local patients in need of the highest levels of care .
pressed on when and how prices would truly become lower for harrisburg - region patients , grode acknowledged total health care costs always go up , but argued the merger will produce lower case - by - case costs .
they further said the merger has support of 40 harrisburg - area entities , including the harrisburg regional chamber , and health insurers highmark and capital bluecross .
the insurers would not be in favor of this if they were concerned about a lack of competition . they understand the competition is the university of pennsylvania , geisinger , johns hopkins . . .
said young , adding that players as far away as the cleveland clinic are advertising in the local market .
