Publisher announces
the release of an enthralling novel about a Wall Street banker’s exit from the
rat race
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- April. 1, 2024 -- Heresy Press announces the launch of The Hermit, the story of a successful Wall Street banker who considers career suicide to save his soul. Written with panache and understated humor, The Hermit is thematically multi-layered, offering perspectives on issues ranging from the technicalities of bond trading, to the epidemic of mental health issues on Wall Street, to the extravagancies of high-end wellness establishments, to rightwing agitators preying on the underprivileged. Grishakova spins an alluring narrative from these thematic strands to form a dazzling tapestry of our current American moment.
According to Meghan Daum, “The Hermit is a stylish, sophisticated story of how internal turmoil can ravage the soul even as external success can nourish the ego. Ruthless, funny, and dazzlingly sharp-eyed on the details, Grishakova is a thrilling new voice…a Tom Wolfe for the Instagram age.”
Another reviewer called The Hermit “an
extraordinary book…at once cerebral and melancholy, nimbly balancing
metaphysics and the mundane…a book to be savored.”
And
according to IndieReader, “Katerina Grishakova
crafts a compelling character study of one man's midlife journey to rediscover
purpose and meaning beyond his outwardly successful but soulless career on Wall
Street.”
Upon its
release, The
Hermit Kindle ebook
claimed the #1 ranking on Amazon in biographical fiction.
Heresy Press Promotes Outspoken Voices to Meet the Demand of Today’s Robust Readers
Heresy Press was founded in 2023 with support
from Joyce Carol Oates, Steven Pinker, Nadine Strossen, and other notable
writers and public intellectuals as an initiative to counter the malaise of
timidity, undeclared censorship, and identity-essentialism that currently
plague much of mainstream publishing. Heresy Press publishes outspoken authors
of all backgrounds, requiring only that their work demonstrate literary
excellence.
“The readers we aim to reach are not frail
creatures in need of protection from potentially discomfiting experiences but
resilient, curious, and adventurous individuals,” said Bernard Schweizer,
Founder & Director of Heresy Press. “The Hermit boldly transgresses
against the expectations usually associated with female fiction, giving us a
stirring tale of spiritual searching that will equally speak to male and female
readers.”
