The Harvard Gazette, 7/31/26: “Reliving 2020 through fiction”
Early in Leah De Forest’s debut novel, New Yorkers pause to appreciate fat raindrops viewed from the comfortable side of a window. It’s miserable to be caught in the rain without an umbrella, but through the glass, it’s beautiful.
“And aren’t so many things?” De Forest writes in Any Kind of Known Tomorrow, out Sept. 15. “Beautiful not just from a distance, but from the right distance.”

Bloom Literary, 9/15/26: “Any Kind of Known Tomorrow” (with Sonya Chung)
“I had the great privilege of reading this novel months ago, and I love it. It was so absorbing, and I read it a second time.
“The second read is always fun because as a writer, I get to admire craft, I’m reading more on the craft level. The first time it’s story and character. But I just—I admired so much about this book.”
—Sonya Chung

Swellspoken with Alyson Musquera Dutemple, 8/29/26: “Strange Bookfellows: An interview with Leah De Forest”
“Today I’m so excited to share a conversation I had with Leah about her absolutely stunning novel Any Kind of Known Tomorrow, a family drama set in New York City in the, how should we put this, not uneventful spring of 2020. Yes, Leah wrote a pandemic novel. And yes, it brings back so many things you haven’t thought about in years. And yes, you really really want to read this!”
