State Directory- MurderDe’Shawn Charles Winslow’s DECENT PEOPLE received a great review from Humanities Tennessee’s website Chapter16: “Murder mysteries conventionally focus on a single question: Who did it? The best of the genre — such as De’Shawn Charles Winslow’s new novel DECENT PEOPLE — raise more philosophical issues. What is the value of human life? What kind of world do we live in? Is justice possible?... Despite the darkness of the subject matter, Winslow has a light touch, moving readers briskly through the novel’s kaleidoscopic events. He spices the story with period detail, apposite references to MCMILLAN & WIFE and Patty Hearst that remind us we are visiting a lost world. Winslow’s novel partakes of seedy crime and racial violence, family secrets and betrayals, romantic rivalries and hopeless loves but resolves into an essentially domestic question: Where can we find a home?” Winslow was also interviewed for Pen America's "Pen 10 Column." Bloomsbury published DECENT PEOPLE on January 17, 2023.

- Sexual HarassmentThe sixty-fifth anniversary Penguin Classics Black Spine edition of THE BEST OF EVERYTHING by Rona Jaffe is the first book on Lit Hub’s “16 New Books to Check Out this Week” list. It was also featured in The Atlantic’s “One Story to Read Today” daily newsletter, where Apoorva Tadepalli writes: “Young women everywhere could relate to the experience of juggling all the things they were expected to achieve in order to finally make it and be happy. The book gave voice to their specific desires, even as it tapped into the hardships of moving to a new city, starting a life alone, and grasping, by turns, for connection and independence.” Kirkus Reviews Fiction Editor Laurie Muchnick also commented on the book’s timelessness, noting that she was “blown away by Jaffe’s sharp, fizzy writing; her pointed analysis of women’s roles and restrictions; and her matter-of-fact depiction of sexual harassment in the workplace decades before the Clarence Thomas hearings or #MeToo.” The New Yorker staff writer Rachel Syme, who wrote the introduction to the reissue (which can be found on The New Yorker website), and author Maris Kreizman will be holding a free discussion on the book on March 17 at 6pm at Rizzoli. Penguin Classics published the book on March 14, 2023.
