Paperback releases for the week of October 9th include A BOOK OF AMERICAN MARTYRS, a powerfully resonant and provocative novel from Joyce Carol Oates, who tells the story of two very different yet intimately linked American families; Chris Smith's THE DAILY SHOW (THE BOOK), an oral history that takes the reader behind the curtain for all the show's highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central's underdog late-night program hosted by Craig Kilborn to Jon Stewart's long reign to Trevor Noah's succession; SHIRLEY JACKSON: A Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin, a biography that establishes Shirley Jackson as a towering figure in American literature and revives the life and work of a neglected master; and JUNIPER, the inspiring story of a baby born too soon, told by her parents, award-winning journalists Kelley and Thomas French.
