Mass Mothering

Sarah Bruni

Key Selling Points:

• An early excerpt was published in the Boston Review as part of its Global Dystopias issue, and Bruni’s translations have appeared in the Buenos Aires Review 
•  Henry Holt in the US will publish in February 2026, so we will build off their pre-publication momentum alongside our own campaign 
•  We will release our Export orders early, to match the US pub date in the non-exclusive territories 
•  In the US Mass Mothering will receive major print review and feature attention, with targeted outreach to women’s media, Latinx publications, and outlets interested in translation 
•  The novel is achingly contemporary, and captures the current cultural moment with its pointed critiques of xenophobia, gender violence, medical misogyny, and global displacement 
•  Bruni writes with the ethical intelligence of Katie Kitamura, the imagination of Mohsin Hamid, and the electricity of Jenny Offill 

Target Readership:

•  Mass Mothering is reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale in its depiction of global dystopia and state-sanctioned violence and abductions; Merce Rodoreda's Death in Spring for its violent, folkloric form of magical realism; and the works of Alejandro Zambra and Irene Solà 
•  Ideal for lovers of the new wave in Latin American fiction, as well as readers of plot-driven fiction, feminist narratives, Post-Empire American fiction, and readers of dystopic literature that confronts our current reality: ICE, ‘illegal aliens’, migration, and racism 
•  For readers of Valeria Luiselli, Katie Kitamura, and Samantha Schweblin
