About the publisher
Farrar, Straus and Giroux traces its lineage to the mid-twentieth century, when Roger W. Straus Jr. and John Farrar built houses devoted to literature that could succeed in the marketplace without compromising artistic standards. The 1966 merger created one of the last major independent literary publishers before the consolidation of American trade publishing. FSG became synonymous with postwar American fiction and with the careful translation of European and world writers. Its poetry program has been especially influential, publishing collections that define contemporary American verse. Nonfiction ranges from memoir and criticism to history and science writing aimed at educated general readers. Editors at FSG are known for long relationships with authors, nurturing careers across decades. Notable books include Bernard Malamud's The Fixer, Thomas Friedman's From Beirut to Jerusalem, and Italo Calvino's American editions. The imprint continues to acquire literary novels, essay collections, and works in translation. For LogosCamp users, FSG titles signal editorial prestige and a commitment to writing that rewards close reading.
