This custom-made cap may take up to three weeks for delivery. 

Two simple four-letter words: “Life” and “Fate.” Their pairing evokes the title of a book judged so dangerous in the Soviet Union that not only the manuscript but the ribbons on which it had been typed were confiscated by the state. Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman is universally considered one of the supreme achievements of modern Russian literature, a profound reckoning with the dark forces that dominated the twentieth century. Inscribed on our cap, the words echo with unsettling resonance in our existentially fraught times.

The words “new york review books” are embroidered on the side of the cap. It features an adjustable strap to accommodate all sizes.
