About ZE Books

Founded in 2019 by Michael Zilkha, ZE Books publishes extraordinary literary and visual works by groundbreaking writers, artists, and musicians.

Committed to nurturing and championing uncommon talent and voices, ZE Books brings out remarkable, beautifully produced books by exceptional writers, journalists, artists, musicians, and thinkers from around the world. Our titles span music, art, experimental writing, poetry, fiction, memoir, and more.

About the ZE Series

Each title in the ZE Series brings together the work of a writer who is in conversation with visual culture into a singular, full-color medley of art and text. Series contributors—including Glenn O’Brien, Nick Flynn, Jon Bradshaw, Mary Gaitskill, Jonathan Lethem (out in 2024), and more to come—explore their personal and public selves, passions, and flights of imagination. We don’t attempt to flatten our artists into one note or blunt their jagged edges, or even resolve their conflicts of nature. Interest and creativity thrive within a certain amount of flux, and so does our thinking.
