I was a child backyard cook. I made salads of dandelion heads or clover leaves and even baked up
a mud pie or two. But truth be told, I wasn’t very inventive. Like an overworked parent serving
macaroni and cheese night after night, I tended to fall back on a few favorite dishes that required
little thought. Is it any wonder that my dolls, and eventually even the tiniest neighborhood ants,
turned down my invitations to dine?

New York Review Books would like to wish you a Labor Day unlike Steve Hogan’s.
The protagonist of Georges Simenon’s dark psychological thriller
Red Lights, Steve is one of the millions of Americans hitting the highway on the Friday before Labor Day weekend. He and his wife, Nancy, are traveling from New York City to Maine, where their children are at summer camp. But somewhere in the midst of the thick traffic and heavy drinking of the trip, Steve “goes into the tunnel”: a mental fugue characterized by pathological uncertainty, dangerous strangers, and the uncanny.

My Dog Tulip, J.R. Ackerley’s wickedly hilarious ode to his beloved (and uncouth) German Shepherd, was the first title to be published in the NYRB Classics series. Now, eleven years later, we are delighted to announce the release of a new animated feature film based on Ackerley’s memoir.
