"Vivid and moving. Novels about the past that can celebrate it with intelligence rather than nostalgia are rare and are themselves to be celebrated." --Samuel R. Delany, author of Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders
"A deep, smart, and satisfying novel." --Rabih Alameddine, author of An Unnecessary Woman
"This novel is book club goldweighty dilemmas, unforgettable characters, and a roller-coaster plot!" --Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow
"The psychological insights Schulman shares with artful simplicity will shatter your heart. A masterpiece." --Michelle Tea, author of How to Grow Up
"Style and setting allow beauty to intrude on this story of love, loss, and how low one might stoop to right a wrong...It testifies to the elegant construction of the novel that it can balance the hopes of an entire era on the backs of a fragile relationship and leave no doubt as to its resilience. Jarring and beautiful, this is a modern classic." --Kirkus
"Vivid and moving. Novels about the past that can celebrate it with intelligence rather than nostalgia are rare and are themselves to be celebrated." --Samuel R. Delany, author of Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders
"The author's subjects and style exist outside of the dominant narratives of US literature and will appeal to readers of contemporary literary fiction looking for something new." --School Library Journal
"A rich evocation of its time and place... Simultaneously a realist exploration of a particular milieu, an illustration of the changing roles and possibilities for women at that time, and a series of thoughtful musings on the nature of companionship and platonic love, Earl and Bette's story is also a satisfying revenge narrative and a portrait of an unexpected but vital friendship." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Plot twists keep the pages turning until the very last, and the cast of characters are engaging, unusual in the most refreshing ways. Sarah Schulman has given us a finely tuned, clever, and remarkably contemporary historical novel." --Lambda Literary Review
" The vivacity of Schulman's characters, from Earl, a black, gay actor working in a meatpacking plant, to Bette, a white secretary, to the city itself, stay true to the grit and gloss of midcentury Manhattan. The truths The Cosmopolitans draws from the human need for love and recognition will linger with you long after the book is closed." --Literary Hub
