The first biography of Speaker Pelosi in a decade, Ball’s nuanced, page-turning portrait shows Pelosi through a thoroughly modern lens, based on exclusive interviews with the Speaker and deep background reporting. Ball explores why one of the few examples of a woman holding such a high office now for the second time is also one of politics’ most complicated and controversial figures of the last 30 years. What Pelosi has managed to accomplish legislatively, how she is perceived by the public, and what the next couple of years hold for her career offer a unique snapshot of this current political moment. Molly Ball is a political journalist and appears regularly as an analyst on NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation, PBS’s Washington Week, CNN, MSNBC, Fox ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ News, and NPR. She was formerly TIME magazine's national political correspondent and covered U.S. ​ ​ politics for The Atlantic and Politico. She is the winner of the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize and the Toner ​ ​ ​ Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, among others, and lives in Washington, D.C. “[An] illuminating new biography of the most powerful woman in American politics.” —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times Book Review “[A] smart, solid biography with a lesson: Despite our current fixation on political showmanship, politics works best in a complicated democracy like ours when its practitioners can navigate their way through the byzantine cloakrooms of power.” —Joe Klein, The Washington Post ​ “Molly Ball’s Pelosi is the inspirational political book we’ve all been waiting for. In this dark season, Ball shines ​ ​ a light on the nearly heroic Speaker and her unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and well-tailored jackets. This is the definitive biography of an icon.” —Vanessa Grigoriadis, author of Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus ​ “An engrossing and deeply reported political biography of an astute and powerful woman. Molly Ball’s lively portrait of Nancy Pelosi, twice Speaker of the House, is packed with sage insights and telling anecdotes. —Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer British: Henry Holt ​ Translation: Henry Holt ​ 4 Henry Holt Nonfiction Darrin Bell THE TALK Publication: September 2022 Manuscript available October 2021 ​ ​ Editor: Retha Powers ​ Acquired in a two book deal, this graphic memoir by a Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning offers a deeply personal meditation on the “the talk” parents must have with Black children about racism and the brutality that often accompanies it, a ritual attempt to keep kids safe and prepare them for a world that—to paraphrase Toni Morrison—does not love them. Darrin Bell was 6 years old when his mother told him he couldn’t play with a white friend’s realistic water gun. “She told me I’m a lot more likely to be shot by police than my friend was if they saw me with it, because police tend to think little Black boys—even light-skinned ones—are older than they really are, and less innocent than they really are.” Her worry was well-founded: years later in 2014, a policeman shot and killed Tamir Rice as the 12-year-old boy played with a toy gun in a Cleveland, Ohio park. No charges were brought against the officers. Now with a 6-year-old son of his own, Bell examines how "the talk" has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood. Through evocative original illustrations, THE TALK is a meditation on ​ this coming of age—as Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbors, and strangers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans like Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner, and showcasing his award-winning cartoons along the way, Bell takes us up to the very moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Darrin Bell is the recipient of various awards including the 2016 Berryman Award for Editorial Cartooning, the 2015 RFK Jr. award for Editorial Cartooning, and the 2019 Pulitzer for Editorial Cartooning. The Pulitzer board praised Darrin for taking on "issues affecting disenfranchised communities, calling out lies, hypocrisy and fraud in the political turmoil surrounding the Trump administration." Bell has created two syndicated cartoons: Candorville and Rudy Park. He attended UC Berkeley and currently lives in Los Angeles. ​ ​ ​ ​ British: Henry Holt ​ Translation: Henry Holt ​ 5 Henry Holt Nonfiction Peter Ames Carlin SONIC BOOM The Impossible Rise of Warner Bros. Records, from Hendrix to Fleetwood Mac to Madonna to Prince Publication: January 2021 Manuscript available ​ ​ Editor: Kerry Cullen ​ In SONIC BOOM, bestselling music journalist Peter Ames Carlin captures the ​ ​ rollicking story of the most successful record label in the history of rock and roll, Warner Brothers Records, and the remarkable secret to its meteoric rise. The roster of Warner Bros. Records is legendary. Its stars include everybody from Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead, to Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, to Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, to Prince and Madonna. But the most astonishing figures in the Warner Bros. story are the sagacious Mo Ostin and his unlikely crew of hippies, eccentrics, and enlightened execs. They were the first to read the counter-cultural writing on the wall in the mid-1960s and 1970s, turning a struggling, out-of-touch company into the central voice it became. In doing so, they revolutionized the way the music industry worked and, within just a few years, created the most successful record label in its history. Warner Bros. Records’ story is as raucous as it is inspiring, pure entertainment that also doubles as a case study in finding the perfect balance between art and commerce. Peter Ames Carlin is a writer and the author of several books, including Bruce, a biography of Bruce ​ ​ ​ Springsteen published in October, 2012. Carlin has also been a freelance journalist, a senior writer at People, ​ ​ and a television columnist and feature writer at The Oregonian in Portland. A regular speaker on music, art and ​ ​ ​ ​ popular culture, Carlin lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and three children. “Music journalist Carlin (Bruce) relays in his characteristic colorful style how music mogul Mo Ostin built ​ ​ Warner Bros. Records into an industry leader . Those looking for a gossipy tell-all won’t find one here; Ostin stuck with a formula, trusted and invested in his artists, took the music seriously, and honored the intelligence and taste of his customers. This brisk portrait of the man who made Warner Bros. into a powerhouse offers essential reading on the business and history of popular music.” —Publishers Weekly ​ Praise for Bruce: ​ ​ “Interviews with bandmates, family members, and exes paint an unflinching portrait of the rock icon . [Carlin] dives into Springsteen’s personal life in unprecedented depth . No previous biographer has uncovered as much about Springsteen’s family.” —Rolling Stone ​ Praise for Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon: ​ “You can almost hear the melodic anthems Simon created through Carlin's exhaustively researched, deeply-felt prose.” —Harper's Bazaar ​ British: Henry Holt ​ Translation: Writers House ​ ​ ​ 6 Henry Holt Nonfiction Charles J.
