  •  Laura Dickerman in conversation with Stephanie Peral

    Books & Books 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables, FL

    Two editors. One desk. And the literary estate of the century on the line. Laura Dickerman's debut novel Hot Desk is a sharp, witty love story set against the cutthroat world of post-pandemic publishing, where passive-aggressive Post-it notes on a shared cactus give way to something neither Rebecca Blume nor Ben Heath saw coming. Add a decades-old secret connecting their rivalry to a blizzard in 1982 Manhattan, and you have one of the most charming and compulsively readable debuts of the season.
