  • A suspenseful and probing social commentary of today’s America, Sugar Street is a defiant, slim novel with a keen, contemporary analysis of race, class, immigration, and political polarization.  
  • Dee has been compared by the Wall Street Journal to authors such as Jonathan Franzen and Jennifer Egan for his expansive, contemporary, social novels; Sugar Street is a leaner, more personal, but still uncannily timely look at the volatile America of today.
  • Launching anew with Grove Atlantic after a career at Random House, we plan to broaden Dee’s loyal fan base and bring him to a fresh new audience the way we’ve broken out other mid-career big-house authors including Stuart O’Nan and Rabih Alameddine.  
  • The Privileges, Dee’s 2010 breakout novel about money and class, was a finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, receiving stellar reviews in The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Yorker, Bookforum, and many others. Selling 55,000 combined copies, it also won the 2011 Prix Fitzgerald and the St. Francis College Literary Prize. 
  • Dee’s other books, The Locals (a Washington Post Notable Book), A Thousand Pardons (“dazzling”—New York Times), Palladio, St. Famous, The Liberty Campaign, and The Lover of History were widely reviewed and we expect to see full, excellent coverage for Sugar Street.  
  • Always widely published abroad, deals for Sugar Street have just closed in the UK and France with other territories offering now.  There is significant film interest as well. 
  • Dee is a frequent contributing writer to the New York Times, Harper’s and The New Yorker, which recently published his in-depth piece on Viet Thanh Nguyen. 
  • For fans of David Gates’ seminal Jernigan, Gary Shteyngart’s Lake Success, Joshua Ferris’ To Rise Again at a Decent Hour and other smart, literary contemporary social novels,  Sugar Street is as brilliantly entertaining as it is unerring.
