Goose Lane Editions is over the moon to announce that celebrated writer PP Wong’s new book Anatomy of Freedom has been acquired by our fiction acquisitions editor, Bethany Gibson. This phenomenal novel is scheduled for publication in Fall 2025.

“I read PP Wong’s Anatomy of Freedom with a mounting sense of excitement, immediately immersed, immediately charmed by the wit and complexity and force of the authorial vision,” Gibson said. “This is an accessible yet sophisticated novel that will resonate with readers on many levels. I am thoroughly delighted to be working with PP to introduce her work to the Canadian market.”

Immense congratulations are in order!
