It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, muggings are in the streets, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants-an 'ear' for poetry - is worried about his future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile all his friends have real jobs, he's folding T-shirts at the Gap. As for love? No. Not unless you count Sallie Mae, the student loan tyrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe hears from Sallie all the time. But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck \u0026amp; Peck, the most prestigious poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon Batter is knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers - twins and enemies - as well as being privy to the private affairs of their thirty-nine editors, whose professed mission is the same:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest. And by 'burn', they mean incinerate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause at Peck \u0026amp; Peck, 'good' isn't good enough, 'interesting' doesn't cut it, plagiarists aren't tolerated, and parolees run the mailroom. Still want to submit your poem? Go with God. Welcome to another dazzling and unforgettable novel from Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstone's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56923872919930,"sku":"9781786588814","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781786588814.jpg?v=1779793995","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.co.uk\/products\/pre-order-peck-peck","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
