Russell Banks, 82, has completed the elegiac novel “The Magic Kingdom,” and former U.S. Jemisin, Lydia Millet and Yiyun Li.Ĭormac McCarthy, 89, has new fiction coming for the first time in more than a decade with “The Passenger," and its companion “Stella Maris." John Irving, who turned 80 this year, is calling the 900-page “The Last Chairlift” his last “long novel,” a description which could apply to much of his career.

Celeste Ng's “Our Missing Hearts” is her first novel since “Little Fires Everywhere.” Story collections are expected from George Saunders, Andrea Barrett and Ling Ma, along with novels by Percival Everett, Barbara Kingsolver, Kevin Wilson, N.K.

The fall also will feature new fiction from Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk and Pulitzer Prize-winners Elizabeth Strout and Andrew Sean Greer. Booksellers are looking forward to a mix of commercial favorites such as Hoover, Anthony Horowitz, Beverly Jenkins and Veronica Roth alongside what Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt calls a “really strong” lineup of literary releases, including novels by Ian McEwan and Kate Atkinson.

Hoover's new book should help extend what has been another solid year for the industry. “Eventually I craved telling this story as much as I did my other stories, so I owe the readers a big thank you for the nudging.” “I never allowed myself to entertain a sequel, but with the amount of people emailing me every day and tagging me in an online petition to write about (those characters), their story began to build in my head in the same way my other books begin,” she told The Associated Press in a recent email. “It Starts With Us” had been so eagerly desired by her admirers - CoHorts, some call themselves - that she broke a personal rule: Don't let “outside influences” determine her next book. Hoover's extraordinary run on bestseller lists, from to The New York Times, has been Beatle-esque for much of 2022, with four or more books likely to appear in the top 10 at a given moment. It might have climbed higher but for competition from other Hoover novels, including “Ugly Love,” “Verity” and, of course, “It Ends With Us,” the dramatic tale of a love triangle and a woman's endurance of domestic abuse that young TikTok users have embraced and helped make Hoover the country's most popular fiction writer.

NEW YORK (AP) - Anticipation for one of the fall's likeliest bestsellers has been growing all year.įor months, Colleen Hoover's millions of fans on TikTok, Instagram and elsewhere have been talking up and posting early excerpts from her novel “It Starts With Us." By summer, the author's sequel to her bestselling “It Ends With Us” had already reached the top 10.
