Akashic Books is a Brooklyn-based independent
company dedicated to publishing urban literary
fiction and political nonfiction by authors who are
either ignored by the mainstream, or who have no
interest in working within the ever-consolidating
ranks of the major corporate publishers.
Akashic’s Go the F**k to Sleep, written
by Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortés, has
been a widespread success since its release in June of 2011. This #1 New York Times best-
selling classic also has an audio version,
which features narration by the master of the
F-word himself, Samuel L. Jackson. The
book’s sequel, Seriously, Just Go to Sleep,
has made as much of a splash as the original,
only this time it is kid-friendly. This censored
alternative allows children and parents to
joke with each other about one of the most
stressful parts of a parent's life: getting their
child to just fall asleep already! The book has
similar rhymes and drawings as the original,
but has extra visual appeal for the kids.
Congrats to Akashic on your continued
successes!
