Congratulations to Austrian writer Peter Handke, with whom Farrar, Straus and Giroux has been working since the early 1970s, on winning the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature. FSG President Jonathan Galassi on the Austrian writer's impact on literature: "Handke is one of the great German prose stylists, who has spent his career exploring both the natural world and the world of human consciousness with exquisite precision, humor, and courage." And as Jeffrey Eugenides writes: “Handke’s sharp eye is always finding a strange beauty amid this colorless world.”

There are professional thrills and there are professional thrills, but I am extra especially thrilled to report that FSG is going to be publishing John Darnielle’s novel, Wolf in White Van, this fall. John is famous for his work with the Mountain Goats, and I suspect that none of the many fans who know his lyrics and have heard his stories will be surprised by the revelation that his is a genuinely literary mind. And it’s true—Wolf in White Van emphatically proves that his imagination and voice are at least as at home on the page as they are in song.
