A FAMILY TALE WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE: Honest and candid about the challenges of building families today, With Teeth captures the complexities and frustrations of two women navigating both their own fractious marriage and a son they love but find alien to everything they know. While infused with all the warm humor and Florida atmosphere Arnett's fans expect, this new novel offers a welcome new perspective on the challenging, sometimes destructive dynamics that can emerge among queer parents struggling with both personal issues and social expectations.

MOSTLY DEAD THINGS A POPULAR AND CRITICAL HIT: Fueled by rapturous reviews and her devoted online fanbase, Arnett's first novel, Mostly Dead Things, become a New York Times bestseller right out of the gate. It was later selected as a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, Time, The Washington Post, [...], Thrillist, Shelf Awareness, Good Housekeeping, and more, and became a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in fiction.

ARNETT A MEDIA STAR: Even before Mostly Dead Things, Arnett was featured as a prominent young librarian on the PBS NewsHour; for the publication she returned to PBS, appearing on Amanpour & Co., and was profiled in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and elsewhere. In the spring of 2020, during her fellowship at the Black Mountain Institute, she hosted the Kristen Arnett Show, a multi-platform video series with guests including Carmen Maria Machado, Samantha Irby, Hanif Abdurraqib, and others.

HILARIOUS AND RELATABLE SOCIAL MEDIA VOICE: With an audience of more than 50,000 Twitter followers, Arnett is a beloved voice online, where she mixes librarian wisdom, stories of her current journey as queer writer and pet owner, and plenty of jokes about her three great loves, ravioli, beer, and 7-Eleven.
