Liveright Publishing A home for outstanding works of literature that define and redefine our culture. Eliot, E.E. Cummings, Hart Crane, Hilda Doolittle (H.D.)
(19)

Liveright Publishing Corporation grew out of the storied Boni & Liveright press, one of the most important publishers of the early twentieth century. Under the editorial guidance of Horace Liveright the firm captured the flowering literature of the 1920s and 1930s, publishing some of the most celebrated American writers of the period, including William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson

, Gertrude Stein, Anita Loos, and Theodore Dreiser. Alongside these great authors were poets of equal prominence, such as Ezra Pound, T.S. and Robinson Jeffers, as well as founding members of the Harlem Renaissance and European intellectuals such as Sigmund Freud and Bertrand Russell. In choosing titles for publication, Horace Liveright sought out writers whose works, he hoped, would stand the test of time. As a result, a disproportionately high number of writers that the house signed up became foundational forces of modern literature and culture.

Coming June 13th: "1964: Eyes of the Storm", a new book from Paul McCartney. Featuring a foreword in which McCartney recalls the pandemonium of British concert halls and hysteria that greeted the band on its first American visit, along with recollections preceding each portfolio, these largely unseen photographs —taken with a 35mm camera by McCartney himself— capture the explosive period, from the end of 1963 through early 1964, in which The Beatles became an international sensation and changed the course of music history. In 275 images from the six cities —Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami— "1964: Eyes of the Storm" creates a dramatic record of The Beatles’ first transatlantic trip and captures a radical shift in youth culture. Available now for preorder: https://www.paulmccartney.com/eyesofthestorm

"To look at the love and the wonder of what we went through that's captured in a lot of these photographs is the whole thing. It's what makes life great.” —Paul McCartney

Happy Jerome Charyn, whose new novel BIG RED - in stores now - is "cinematic and bittersweet...[Charyn] subtly evokes F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 'The Great Gatsby' in telling his saga of star-crossed charismatics through the eyes of an all-seeing peripheral figure, an outsider-insider named Rusty Redburn... His novel, with its multiple layers of fiction and fact, resurrects the vanished world it celebrates and explicates it in all its grand illusion." —Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324091332
