Angels with Dirty Faces
Three Stories of Crime, Prison, and Redemption
Walidah Imarisha
The question of what to do with rapists and murderers

stops being rhetorical when they are the people you love.
There was a time I believed prisons existed to rehabilitate people, to make our
communities safer. . . . When I saw for the first time (but not the last) a mother
sobbing and clutching her son when visiting hours were up, only to be physically
pried off and escorted out by guards, I knew nothing about that made me safer.
This is the heart of this countrys prison system. And the prison system has become the heart of America.Walidah Imarisha, f rom the introduction
This is no romanticized tale of crime and punishment. The three lives in this creative nonfiction account are united by the presence of actual harmsometimes
horrific violence. Walidah Imarisha, a sexual assault survivor, brings us behind
prison walls to visit her incarcerated brother Kakamia and his fellow inmate
Jimmy Mac McElroy, a member of the Irish gang the Westies. Together they explore the questions: People can do unimaginable damage to one anotherand
then what? What do we as a society do? What might redemption look like?
Imarisha doesnt flinch as she guides us through the complexities and contradictions of transformative justice, eschewing theory for a much messier reality.
The result is a nuanced and deeply personal analysis that allows readers to connect emotionally with the stories she shares, and the people behind them.
Walidah Imarisha is a writer, organizer, educator, and spoken-word artist.
She is the co-editor of Octavias Brood: Science Fiction Stories From Social Justice
Movements and author of the collection of poetry Scars/Stars.

Nonviolence Aint What It Used to Be
Unarmed Insurrection and the Rhetoric of Resistance
Shon Meckfessel
What comes after nonviolence?

A guide to todays forms of political struggle.
Shon Meckfessel . . . brings a fresh perspective to the stubborn debates around

violence and nonviolence and suggests a way to move beyond the lefts tactical
impasse. Nonviolence Aint What It Used to Be wont settle the old argument, but
it may start a new one.K ristian Williams, Our Enemies in Blue: Police and
Power in America
Shon Meckfessel takes an innovative look at challenges faced by twenty-fi rst
century social movements in the United States. One of their most important
stumbling blocks is the question of nonviolence. Civil disobedience, symbolic
protest, and principles of nonviolence have characterized many struggles in the
United States since the Civil Rights era. But as Meckfessel argues, conditions
have changed. Weve seen the consolidation of the media, the militarization of
policing, and the co-optation and institutionalization of dissent, among many
other shifts. The rules have changed, but the rhetoric, logic, and strategic tools
we employ havent necessarily kept pace, and narratives borrowed from movements of the past are falling short.
Nonviolence Aint What It Used to Be maps the emerging, more militant approaches that seem to be developing to fill the gap, from Occupy to Ferguson. It
offers new angles on a seemingly intractable debate, introducing terms and criteria that carve out a larger middle ground between the two camps, in order to
chart a path forward.
Shon Meckfessel is the author of Suffled How It Gush: A North American Anarchist
in the Balkans, as well as numerous essays and articles. He is a member of the
English faculty at Highline College in Seattle, Washington.

Making Sense of Anarchism
Errico Malatestas Experiments with Revolution, 18891900
Davide Turcato
Davide Turcato makes the relevance of history dynamically clear. Making Sense
of Anarchism is simultaneously a critique of how history is typically written and
a demonstration of how to do it right. Using Errico Malatestas revolutionary exploits as a guide, Turcato provides an antidote to studies that equate anarchism
with irrationality. He also produces a gripping survey of debates and political experiments as crucial to the twenty-fi rst century as they were to the nineteenth.

Drinking with Ghosts
The Aftermath of Apartheids Dirty War
Michael Schmidt
A critical look at what changed in South Africas transformation

from autocracy to democracyand what didnt.
Drinking with Ghosts illuminates both past and present and is an invaluable contribution to understanding what South Africa is today. Written with verve and
passion, its an unputdownable read.Hamilton Wende, author of Only the Dead
Drinking with Ghosts is a fascinating exploration of the dark corners of South
Africas past by a seasoned journalist. Michael Schmidts revelations move from
South Africas nuclear program under apartheid to the problems of todays deeply
unequal society, tracing the threads of secrecy, privilege, racism, and violence that
are needed to maintain it.
The book is also a testament to Schmidts career as an investigative journal
ist: his dedicated and uncompromising quest to uncover the truth shines through
on every page. Schmidts journalism and his activism took him behind the curtain of the transition in South Africa from autocracy to democracy, exploring the
impact of the Cold Wars end on sub-Saharan Africa, including the continents
war-z ones, from Lesotho and Mozambique to the former Zaire and Darfur.
His path led him to challenge the dominant liberal/progressive narrative of a
peaceful transition in the region and to substitute the story of an often-bloody,
hotly contested continuity in which Nelson Mandelas ANC fulfilled the long-
term, strategic, neoliberal objectives of their old apartheid enemies, and in
which democratic South Africa, the worlds most unequal society, plays a sub-
imperialist continental role.
Michael Schmidt founded the Professional Journalists Association of South
Africa in 2010. He is co-author of Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of
Anarchism and Syndicalism.

The Anarchist Expropriators
Buenaventura Durruti and Argentinas Working-Class Robin Hoods
Osvaldo Bayer
Translated by Paul Sharkey
Osvaldo Bayers study of working-class retribution, set between 1919 and 1936,
chronicles hair-raising robberies, bombings, and tit-for-t at murders conducted
by Argentinas working men. Intense repression of labor organizations, newspapers, and meeting places by authorities set off a wave of illegal acts meant to secure funds and settle scores. Escaping similar repression at home, future Spanish
Civil War hero Buenaventura Durruti joins the cast on a spree of robberies,
ending in a narrow escape back to Europe.

men in the world when they own the shadows? And most important of all, how
do you stay alive when the world around you is dying?

Traveling the Road to LGBT Equality
Mark Segal
A dramatic and inspirational memoir from one of the worlds top leaders
of the movement for gay and lesbian equality.
Read Mark Segals memoir and youll get the inside story of how and why he interrupted a live broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. What
happened afterward will surprise you. Its one of many surprises in this must-
read first-person account of LGBT history as it unfolded after Stonewall. Segal
was a witness to that history, and he made some of it happen, changing our country and our lives for the better.L ouis Wiley Jr., senior editorial consultant,
PBS Frontline
Mark Segals approach to his considerable accomplishments is a classic ex
ample of the best in American boosterism. His optimism, zeal, and perseverance have served our community well.Don Michaels, former publisher of
the Washington Blade
On December 2, 1973, Mark Segal disrupted a live broadcast of the CBS Evening
News when he sat on the desk directly between the camera and news anchor
Walter Cronkite, yelling, Gays protest CBS prejudice! He was wrestled to the
studio floor by the stagehands on live national television, thus ending LGBT
invisibility.
Because of activists like Mark Segal, whose life work is dramatically detailed
in this poignant and important memoir, today there are openly LGBT people
working in the White House and throughout corporate America. An entire community of gay world citizens is now finding the voice that they need to become
visible.
Mark Segal has established a reputation as the dean of American gay journalism over the past five decades. From his key role in organizing the Stonewall
demonstrations in 1969 to founding the Philadelphia Gay News in 1975, along
with his more recent forays into TV and politics, his proven commitment as a
tireless LGBT advocate has made him a force to be reckoned with.

Everton Dorril is a rising star in a Jamaican beverage company when his stepmother calls one morning to tell him his father is missing. Everton immediately
fears the worst in Jamaicas crime-r idden society. An outside child born to his
fathers mistress, Everton deeply resents his father and hates the idea of jeopardizing the most important moment in his career to go find him, but feels he has
no other choice.
Everton soon discovers that his father is off on a quest to track down a woman
he has been in love with for thirty-fi ve years. Each day Everton spends with his
father brings a new adventure, including being chased from a marijuana field by
gunmen. One drunken night Everton finally confronts his father and airs his resentments. He discovers that his father, frightened and unhappy with the failings of his past, is seeking closure and reconciliation.
Garfield Ellis is the author of two story collections, Flaming Hearts and Other
Stories and Wake Rasta and Other Stories, and the novels Such As I Have and For
Nothing at All. He divides his time between Jamaica and Scarborough, Ontario.

The System of Dantes Hell
Amiri Baraka
Much of the novel is an expression of the intellectual and moral lost motion
of the age . . . the special agony of the American Negro.The New York Times

Amiri Baraka
Introduction by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Barakas stories evoke a mood of revolutionary disorder, conjuring an alternative universe in which a dangerous African-A merican underground, or a dangerous literary undergroundstill exists. . . . Baraka is at his best as a lyrical prophet
of despair who transfigures his contentious racial and political views into a tran
scendent, outtelligent clarity.The New York Times Book Review, Editors Choice
These artful and nuanced stories fall into two parts: the first nine concern
themselves with the sensibility of a hip, perceptive young black man in white
America. The last seven stories endeavor to place that same man within the context of his awareness of and participation in a rapidly emerging and powerfully
felt Negritude. They deal, it might be said, with the black man in black America.

Drought-Adapted Vine
Donald Revell
Mystical poet Donald Revell expertly questions

the interdependence of soul and circumstance,
while finding new ways to define nature as testament.
Donald Revell writes with a drunken equipoise among the weedy flowers and
bees of roadside museums and vacant churches. . . . [Here] are poems that border
the hereafter and revive the childs play of prophecy. What miraculous assistance
they provide!Dean Young
Donald Revell pushes boundaries between words and music, transcending our
current notion of beauty and innocence. Personal memory, the visionary, the
eccentric, and the divine intertwine between networks of stories that connect
past and present through paint strokes, composition, and pastoral lyric. Pure
of heart poems lie down in a vibrant field of paradox, basking gratefully in the sun
of unknowing.
From Beyond Disappointment:
Hence and farewell valediction: lifes journey.
It makes no sense. The children mock us with it.
A typewriter beneath the Christmas tree
Calls to the icecaps. Illustrated monthlies
Burn in the wasps burnt nest. It is
Such perfections make the sun to rise.
Donald Revell has authored eleven collections of poetry, most recently Tantivy
(2012) and The Bitter Withy (2009). Winner of the PEN USA Translation Award
and two-time winner of the PEN USA Award for Poetry, he has also won the
Academy of American Poets Lenore Marshall Prize and is a former Fellow of the
Ingram Merrill and Guggenheim Foundations. Additionally, he has twice been
awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. Former editor-
in-chief of Denver Quarterly, he now serves as poetry editor of Colorado Review.
Revell is the director of graduate studies and professor of English at the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Classically influenced, spare, and delicate poems

of high art and homoerotic longing explore the ways
we experience the afterlife of beauty.
The delicate arc of these poems intimatesrather than tellsa love story: celebration, fear of loss, storm, abandonment, an opening forth. Richie Hofmann
disciplines his natural elegance into the sterner recognitions that matter: I am
a little white omnivore, the speaker of Second Empire discovers. Mastering directness and indirection, Hofmanns poems break through their own beauty.

This debuts spare, delicate poems explore ways we experience the afterlife of
beauty while ornately examining lust, loss, and identity. Drawing upon traditions of amorous sonnets, these love-elegies desire an artistic and sexual connection to othersother times, other placesi n order to understand aesthetic

Antique Book
The sky was crazed with swallows.
We walked in the frozen grass
of your new city, I was gauzed with sleep.
Trees shook down their nests.
The ceramic pots were caparisoned with snow.
I was jealous of the river,
how the light broke it, of the skein
of windows where we saw ourselves.
Where we walked, the ice cracked

beneath it were the marbled pages.

Thief in the Interior
Phillip B. Williams
Inspired by a young mans brutal murder in Brooklyn, these poems

bring forth raw racial dialogue essential to todays culture.
This gorgeous debut is a debut in chronology only. . . . Need is everywhere

in the unforgiving images, in lines so delicate they seem to break apart in the
hands, and in the reader who will enter these poems and never want to leave.
Adrian Matejka
Phillip B. Williams investigates the dangers of desire, balancing narratives of
addiction, murders, and hate crimes with passionate, uncompromising depth.
Formal poems entrenched in urban landscapes crack open dialogues of racism
and homophobia rampant in our culture. Multitudinous voices explore ones
ability to harm and be harmed, which uniquely juxtaposes the capacity to revel
in both experiences.
From: Agenda:
I.
While two women kissed in their house I watched
a jury hide bullets in a Black boys body, all rigor mortis
and bass line. I landed in Chicago, a lead box.
The airport showed CNN and a Black mother
could not be heard over gate changes, bistro jazz.
Subtitles gathered and faded like gossip
while I made my mouth vacant in my hometown.
I carried a fever of insufferable noise that skin,
illuminated by a hoodie, held close, a forced kin.
Phillip B. Williams has authored two chapbooks: Bruised Gospels (Arts in Bloom
Inc.) and Burn (YesYes Books). A Cave Canem graduate, he received scholarships from Bread Loaf Writers Conference and a Ruth Lilly Fellowship. His work
appeared or is forthcoming in Callaloo, Poetry, the Southern Review, West Branch,

Imitating Life, Success,
and Other Stories
Karl Stevens and Gustavo Turner
Karl Stevenss fifth book collects two graphic novellas
along with several shorter works, including several
collaborations with author Gustavo Turner.
Karl Stevenss fifth book collects two graphic novellas along with several shorter
works; featuring a suite of collaborations with the cultural critic and author
Gustavo Turner, including the critically acclaimed Succe$$, originally serialized
in the Boston Phoenix.
Imitating Life is the story of a young academic/cartoonist named Veronica
Fleece who lives her life through art, in both her professional and personal lives.
By day she teaches art history (specifically Rembrandt) at NYU and by night
(and at any spare moment) she commits herself to documenting her thoughts
on life and art through comics. Illustrated in a number of mediums (including
oil paint, watercolor, pen and ink, and pencil) to mirror the breadth of ideas and
tones the story deals with.
Succe$$ is a post-9/11 story about a new breed of young capitalists. Theyre
eco-friendly, gadget-obsessed, and they scorn the gaucheness and vanity of the
Gordon Gekko yuppies. Theyre Reagan babies, programmed to Just Say No
and Just Do It at the same time. If you looked at the back seat of their Priuses,
youd find well-t humbed copies of Atlas Shrugged.
Karl Stevens is a graphic novelist and painter. His first book, Guilty, was published in 2004 with a grant from the Xeric Foundation. He is also the author of
Whatever (2008), The Lodger (a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, 2010),
and Failure (2013).

Now and at the Hour of our Death
Susana Moreira Marques
Translated by Julia Sanches
A moving exploration of families facing death,

in the voices of those affected in one rural corner of Portugal.
This book is fearless and luminous and full of grace; it travels to the edge of
death and finds life there. Its attention to the particulars of lovebetween the
ones who will go and the ones they will leaveis something close to sublime.
Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams
A nurse sleeps at the bedside of his dying patients; a wife deceives her husband
by never telling him he has cancer; a bedridden man has to be hidden from his
demented and amorous eighty-year-old wife. In her poignant and genre-busting
debut, Susana Moreira Marques confronts us with our own mortality and inspires
us to think about what is important.
Accompanying a palliative care team, Moreira Marques travels to Trs-os-
Montes, a forgotten corner of northern Portugal, a rural area abandoned by the
young. Crossing great distances where eagles circle over the roads, she visits villages where rural ways of life are disappearing. She listens to families facing death
and gives us their stories in their words as well as through her own meditations.
Brilliantly blending the immediacy of oral history with the sensibility of philo
sophical reportage, Moreira Marquess book speaks about death in a fresh way.
Susana Moreira Marques is a writer and journalist. She was born in Oporto in
1976 and now lives in Lisbon, where she writes for Pblico and Jornal de Negcios.
Between 2005 and 2010 Moreira Marques lived in London, working at the BBC
World Service while also serving as a correspondent for Portuguese newspaper
Pblico. Her journalism has won several prizes, including the Prmio AMI
Jornalismo Contra a Indiferena and the 2012 UNESCO Human Rights and
Integration Journalism Award (Portugal).
Julia Sanchess translations have appeared in Suelta, the Washington Review,
Asymptote, Two Lines, and Revista Machado, amongst others. She currently lives
in New York City.

Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs
Lina Wolff
Translated by Frank Perry
An award-winning Barcelona novel with Bolao-esque humor: including

lovers, a Mexican maid, Marilyn (a cat), and Bret Easton Ellis (a dog).
Losing her son in a lorry accident, a woman abandons her lover and her life on
the Mexican border and becomes a domestic servant in Madrid; following an
awkward mnage--trois, a timber agent is blackmailed into introducing his
lovers boyfriend to his best client; a depressed, misfit French teacher rejects
the overtures of students and would-be lovers; all the while sharp-eyed young
Araceli watches over everything from her decrepit apartment.
Nesting stories within stories, setting Bret Easton Ellis among his fellow mutts
and enigmatic, love-hungry, dying Alba Camb among her several lovers, Lina
Wolff can really throw her readers a sucker punch.
Upstairs/downstairs distinctions blur as Wolffs adroit and subtle novel turns
the tables, allowing servants and subordinates to dominate their masters. With a
Bolao-esque humor Wolff asks, what chance does love have in this dog-eat-dog
world?

Silent Highway
Anthony Howell
A brilliant celebration of the river Thames role

in the life of London through history to the present.
An eclectic original.Peter Reading in the Times Literary Supplement

For many years, Anthony Howell has been unspooling his mad and lovely poems
in England, yet has somehow managed to be not famous. . . . Meanwhile, welcome
to the wide, wild world of Britains best kept secret.John Ashbery
All the sweat of working be to set things up back home,
But its more than fifty year, and me still on the roam.
Man, its just the women here who make we feel alive:
Had I share of them since the day me arrive.
Aint they lain beside we, the smooth night long?
Sweet Thames, run softly, till me end I song.
The centerpiece of Silent Highway celebrates the role of the river Thames in the
life of London. It is written as a sequence that looks at history and the present:
from Pocahontass voyage to the arrival of the Windrush bringing immigrants
from Jamaica, the mysterious death of Roberto Calvi and the Marchioness disaster,
via the Fire of London and many incidents in which the river has been spectator or participant. Anthony Howells mix of verse styles and skill with cameos
ensures that interest never flags.
In other poems he demonstrates his pleasure in avoiding the predictable and
in writing on a wide variety of subjects. Among the many poems of place, in which
he excels, are some disturbing descriptions of modern Britain; in the final section,
poems inspired by a winter spent in Brazil, he has surprises in store.

More than just a cookbook, Decolonize Your Diet redefines what is meant by
traditional Mexican food by reaching back through hundreds of years of his
tory to reclaim heritage crops as a source of protection from modern diseases
of development. Authors Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are life part
ners;when Luz was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, they both radic ally
changed their diets and began seeking out recipes featuring healthy, vegetar
ian Mexican foods (Luzs cancer is now in remission). They promote a diet that
is rich in plants indigenous to the Americas (corn, beans, squash, greens, herbs,
and seeds), and are passionate about the idea that Latinos in America, spe
cifically Mexicans, need to ditch the fast food and return to their own cultures
food roots for both physical health and spiritual fulfillment.
This vegetarian cookbook features 120 colorful, delicious recipes from the
Mexican American palate and also includes contributions from other Latin
American cultures, such as Guatemalan-Style Pepian Stew, Speckled Bean and
Hominy Stew, Amaranth and Corn Tortillas with Chia Guacamole, and Aguachile
de Quinoa. Steeped in history but very much rooted in the contemporary world,
Decolonize Your Diet will introduce readers to the the comforting, healing proper
ties of a plant-based Mexican American diet.

Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are professors at California State East
Bay and San Francisco State University, respectively. They grow fruits, vege
tables, and herbs on their small urban farm. This is their first book.

Castro
A Graphic Novel
Reinhard Kleist
On the heels of Americas renewed relations with Cuba,
a vividly depicted graphic novel on the life of Fidel Castro.
As America moves closer to normalizing relations with Cuba, this gripping,

vivid graphic novel reveals the life and times of Fidel Castro, one of the twen
tieth centurys most intriguing, charismatic, and divisive figures. The book is
narrated by a German journalist named Karl Mertens, who is plunged into the
searing heat of pre-revolutionary Cuba in the mid-1950s. He first meets with
Castro while the latter is hiding in the mountains, then follows him through
the dramatic revolution and his ascent to the presidency that, despite the Bay
of Pigs confrontation and years of international trade blockades, lasts for nearly
fifty years. We also witness his involvement in bloody skirmishes, failed mis
sions, and brutal crackdowns, as well as his interactions with and on behalf of
the Cuban people, which reveal as much about his fallible human qualities as
they do his legend.
Castro is the work of acclaimed German graphic novelist Reinhardt Kleist;
it was first published in English by Selfmade Hero for the British market, and is
now being made available in the United States for the first time. Bristling with en
ergy and alive with the spirit of Cuba, Castro has much to offer about the complex
politics of one of the most enduring and controversial figures in modern history.
Reinhardt Kleist is the author of fourteen books, including two others avail
able in English: The Boxer and Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness. His many awards in
clude the BZ Cultural Award for outstanding cultural achievement from the City
of Berlin.

Suite Franaise, an extraordinary novel about village life in France just as it was
plunged into chaos with the German invasion of 1940, was a publishing sensa
tion ten years ago; Irne Nmirovsky completed the two-volume book, part of a
planned larger series, in the early 1940s before she was arrested in France and
eventually sent to Auschwitz, where she died. The notebook containing the nov
els was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998; it was finally
published in France in 2004 and became a huge international bestseller, includ
ing in the United States, where it has sold over one million copies.
This dramatic and stirring graphic novel, translated from the French and
faithful to the spirit of Nmirovskys story, focuses on Book 1, entitled Storm in
June, in which a disparate group of Paris citizens flees the city ahead of the ad
vancing German troops. However, their orderly plans to escape are eclipsed by
the chaos spreading across the country, and their sense of civility and well-being
is replaced by a raw desire to survive.
A film version of Suite Franaise, starring Michelle Williams, Kristen Scott
Thomas, and Margot Robbie, will be released in the United Kingdom this spring
and in the United States this fall.
Emmanuel Moynot is a graphic artist and the author of more than forty graphic
novels published in France.

two backpacks and ended up in Canada, where she discovered queer anarcho
punk love and revolution, yet remained haunted by the reasons she left home in
the first place. This passionate and riveting memoir is a mixtape of dreams and
nightmares, of immigration court lineups and queer South Asian dance nights;
it reveals how a disabled queer woman of color and abuse survivor navigates the
dirty river of the past and, as the subtitle suggests, dreams her way home.
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinhas poetry book Love Cake won a Lambda
Literary Award.

Foucault Against Himself
Franois Caillat
Foreword by Paul Rabinow
In his private life, as well as in his work and political attitudes, Michel Foucault
often stood in contradiction to himself. In this provocative collection of essays
and interviews, leading contemporary critics and philosophers (including Leo
Bersani, Georges Didi-Huberman, and Arlette Farge) reframe Foucaults legacy in
an effort to build new ways of thinking about his struggle against societys mecha
nisms of domination, demonstrating how conflict within the self lies at the heart
of Foucaults life and work. Includes a foreword by Paul Rabinow.

A Superior Man
Paul Yee
In this novel, set in the nineteenth century against the backdrop of Chinese
coolies building a railway in the nascent west, Yang Hok embarks on a treach
erous journey to return his half-C hinese, half-Native son to the boys mother,
who abandoned him. This far-reaching novel crackles with the brutal, visceral
energy of the time; boldly frank and steeped in history, A Superior Man paints
a vivid portrait of the Chinese experience in the Pacific Northwest in the nine
teenth century.

The Measure of Darkness
Liam Durcan
A once-successful architect seeks the truth behind the accident

that left him with a devastating brain injury.
Durcan takes us right into the nub of the neuroscientific conception of the
self.The Globe and Mail
[Durcan] writes with an ease reminiscent of Graham Greene.Library Journal
A riveting blend of science and suspense, perfect for fans of David Baldacci
and John le Carr.Booklist
Martin, an acclaimed architect, emerges from a coma after a roadside accident to
find his world transformed: not only has the commission of a lifetime been taken
from him, but his injury has left him with neglect syndrome, a loss of spatial
awareness that has rendered him unfit to practice and unable to recognize the
extent of his illness. Despite support from his formerly estranged brother and
two grown daughters, his paranoia builds, alienating those closest to him. His
only solace is found in the parallels he draws between himself and gifted Soviet-
era architect Konstantin Melnikov, who survived Stalins disfavor by retreating
into obscurity. As Martin retraces Melnikovs life and his own fateful decisions,
he becomes increasingly unsettled, until the discovery of the harrowing truth
about the night of his accident hurtles him toward a deadly confrontation.
A gripping journey into the depths of a fractured mind, The Measure of Darkness
is ultimately a resonant tale of resilience and healing.
Liam Durcan is the author of Garcas Heart, winner of the Arthur Ellis Best First
Novel Award. He lives in Montreal, Quebec, where he works as a neurologist at
McGill University.

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, claims Samuel Beckett. To this, we add:

nothing is funnier than unhappiness with a heavy dose of amorality, as we learn
from Robert Lopezs unforgettable Good People. In these storiesd izzying in
their warped logica motley cast of obsessive, self-deluded outsiders narrate
their darker moments, which include kidnapping, voyeurism, and psychic masochism. As their struggles give way to the black humor of lifes unreason, the bleak
merges with the oddly poetic, in a style as lean and resolute as Raymond Carver
or Ernest Hemingway.
Treading the fine line between confession and self-justification, the absurd vio
lence of threatened masculinity, and the perverse joy of neurosis, Lopezs stories
reveal the compulsive suffering at the precarious core of our universal humanity.
Robert Lopez is the author of two novels, Part of the World and Kamby Bolongo
Mean River, and the story collection Asunder. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

As an architect . . . [Ellard] took me on a journey to places Id never even considered before.Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big House
Our surroundings can powerfully affect our thoughts, emotions, and physical responses, whether were awed by the Grand Canyon or Hagia Sophia, panicked in a
crowded room, soothed by a walk in the park, or tempted in casinos and shopping
malls. In Places of the Heart, Colin Ellard explores how our homes, workplaces,
cities, and natureplaces we escape to and cant escape fromhave influenced
us throughout history, and how our brains and bodies respond to different types
of real and virtual space. As he describes the insight he and other scientists have
gained from new technologies, he assesses the influence these technologies will
have on our evolving environment and asks what kind of world we are, and should
be, creating.
Colin Ellard is the author of You Are Here: Why We Can Find Our Way to the
Moon, but Get Lost in the Mall. A cognitive neuroscientist at the University of
Waterloo and director of its Urban Realities Laboratory, he lives in Kitchener,

Martin John
Anakana Schofield
Delving into the disturbed mind of a serial sex offender, Martin John
is a brilliant follow-up to Anakana Schofields celebrated Malarky.
Advance praise for Martin John:

Profane, strange, hilarious, and necessary, Martin John is a beguiling triumph.
Patrick deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers
This is literature serving its most essential function: illuminating the darkest
recesses; dragging the unspoken and suppressed to the foreground . . . throwing light across the blackest of humanitys vistas. This is writing at its most fearless: visceral and searing, yet textured and nuanced; the darkest of comedy and
the deepest of insight.Donal Ryan, author of The Thing About December and
The Spinning Heart
This is a very moving and terrific book.Daniel Handler
Martin John is not keen on P words. He isolates P words from the newspapers
into long lists. For you, so you know hes kept busy, so you dont have to worry
he might be beside you or following you or thinking about your body parts. So
you dont have to worry about what else he has been thinking about.
From Ananaka Schofield, the brilliant and unconventional author of Malarky,
comes a dark and uncomfortable novel circuiting through the mind, motivations,
and preoccupations of a character many women have experienced, but few up
until now have understood quite so well. The result confirms Schofield as one
of the bravest and most innovative authors at work in English today.
Anakana Schofield is an Irish-born writer who won the Amazon.ca First Novel
Award and the Debut-Litzer Prize for Fiction in 2013 for her debut novel Malarky.

Ian McGillis may well have grown up in the whitest place in North America:
Edmonton, Alberta, in the 1970s and 80s. Yet, through a series of fort uitous
accidents he became exposed to the world of black musicfi rst soul and Motown,
then reggae, then hip-hopa nd it became a lifelong passion.
In three partsbuilt around Stevie Wonders Innervisions, The Congos
Heart of The Congos, and Nas IllmaticHigher Ground recounts his love affair
with each form. McGillis does not shy away from the tough questions: What is
the line between sincere appreciation and cultural appropriation? Can a white
person truly understand soul, reggae, and hip-hop? Can a black form cross
over without losing its essence? His answers to each of these questions, and
many more, are thoughtful and illuminating, and may well leave the reader rethinking some of his own assumptions.
Reminiscent of the best writing of Griel Marcus and John Jeremiah Sullivan
and mixing memoir, cultural history, and musical and cultural theory in a fresh
and readable way, Higher Ground offers up a real life The Commitments and a life-
study in musical appreciation.

As the world becomes increasingly complex and complicated, simplicity is increasingly in demand. We all seek simplicity in small or large measure. We strive
to create simplicity at work and at home. Simplicity: A Matter of Design offers a
set of terms that allows us to discuss simplicity in design with precision. It looks
into the basics of simplicity and researches more in depth three aspects of
design: functionality (simplicity for comfort), aesthetics (simplicity for pleasure), and ethics (simplicity for conscience). There is an extra chapter on simplicity in communication.

Backstairs Billy
The Life of William Tallon
the Queen Mothers Most Devoted Servant
Tom Quinn
The fascinating life story of one of the most original characters

ever to have graced the royal household.
One of the nations best kept secrets, life behind the gates of Buckingham Palace
is subject to worldw ide speculation. In this book Tom Quinn traces the fascinating relationship between the Queen Mother and her most devoted servant.
William Tallon, who died in 2007, was a shopkeepers son from the Midlands
who rose through the ranks to work for the Queen Mother for more than fifty
years. Known as Backstairs Billy, he was charming, amusing, occasionally
bitchya nd extremely promiscuous.
Billy adored her and she adored Billy; perhaps because of his high-camp style
and outrageous remarks about the well-born equerries, royal press people, and
advisers, but mostly because he made her gin and tonics just the way she liked
themn ine-tenths gin and one-tenth tonic.
Outrageously funny, scandalous, sometimes shocking, but always fascinating,
this is the royal family through the eyes of one of its most extroverted servants.
Tom Quinn is the author of many titles including Londons Strangest Tales, Cocoa
at Midnight: The Real Life Story of My Time as a Housekeeper, and The Cooks Tale:
Life Below Stairs as it Really Was. He also writes occasional obituaries for the

Aristocrat, Suffragette, Martyr
Lyndsey Jenkins
Foreword by Dr. Helen Pankhurst
Lady Constance Lytton, daughter of a Viceroy of India, seemed the most unlikely
of suffragettes. Witnessing the trial of Emmeline and Christobel Pankhurst, she
was converted to the cause of womens suffrage. Constance changed her life, rejected her aristocratic background, and acquired a purpose. As an activist Lytton
disguised her identity to avoid privileged treatment and when arrested, and subsequently jailed, went on hunger strike, being force-fed eight times. Constance
Lytton became both an inspiration and a martyr.

An Inconvenient Genocide
Who Now Remembers the Armenians?
Geoffrey Robertson QC
Geoffrey Robertson sets out to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that
the Armenian massacres were a crime amounting to genocide.
With a brilliant display of forensic advocacy, one of the greatest legal minds
on the international stage forces a shameful but inconvenient truth upon the
world.Helena Kennedy, QC
Winner Polemic of the Year, The Paddy Power Political Book Awards 2015
On April 24th, 2015 people around the world commemorated the centenary of
the death of over one million Armenians. In their eyes, and in those of many
around the world, they will be remembering a genocide perpetrated by the
Ottoman Empire. Turkey has always explained the dead as simply victims of a
vicious civil war, and continues to this day to refuse to acknowledge the events
as constituting genocide.
This argument has become, in turn, an international issue. Twenty national
parliaments in democratic countries have voted to recognize the genocide, but
Britain and the United States continue to equivocate for fear, it would seem, of
alienating their NATO ally.
In this seminal book, Geoffrey Robertson QC, a former UN appeals judge,
sets out to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the massacres and deportations
were a crime against humanity which amounted to genocide.
Geoffrey Robertson, QC, is founder and head of Doughty Street Chambers,
the UKs leading human rights legal practice. A barrister, academic, author, and
broadcaster, Robertson is the author of several books including The Justice Game
and Mullahs Without Mercy. He lives in London, England.

The Jews are at once privileged and peculiar, possibly blessed, regularly cursed.
So why have a few million human beings, of differing appearance, allegiance, and
ideology been lumped together as The Enemy in so many programs for salvation, in this world and the next?
The rejection of Jesus turned the Chosen into the Damned, and in this
sense, the rise of Christianity and the damnation of the Jews went hand in hand.
Yet both Christianity and Islam cannot entirely deny that their doctrines are
based on Judaism.
Religious pundits have claimed that the doctrine of anti-Semitism is a feature of the Enlightenment. Now, years later, what Adolf Hitler failed to do, others
wish to complete. Anti-Judaism had a successor in anti-Semitism, and anti-
Semitism has in turn mutated into anti-Israelism. Israel, like the Jew, is the target of choice for those who hope to be covered in glory by casting the first stone.
In this extraordinary, powerful polemic, celebrated writer Frederic Raphael
looks back through two millennia of persecution, explaining not only exactly
why it is people have been killing Jews for so long, but how this religion con
tinues to survive and flourish in spite of this history of violence.

Refusing the Veil
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
A provocative polemic arguing that Muslim women

across the world should refuse the veil.
Many Muslims worldwide either support or adopt religious veiling, and those who
argue against it are often criticized, or worse. But, according to Yasmin Alibhai-
Brown, the veil throws up a number of concerns, from questions of health and
freedom of choice, to issues of gender and personal identity.
She argues that veiling conceals abuse, propagates eating disorders, and restricts access to sunlight and exercise. It is imposed on babies and young girls, allows women to be shamed for not covering up, and has become associated with
extremist factions. It demonizes men, oppresses feminism, and presents obstacles
to performance and success. It even encourages racism, distorts Muslim values,
and strips women of autonomy and individuality.
Written from a unique perspective, and packed with personal experiences as
well as public examples, Yasmin addresses the ultimate question: why Muslim
women everywhere should refuse the veil.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a journalist, broadcaster, writer, and professor of journalism at Middlesex University. She is a regular columnist for the Independent
and the Daily Mail and a past winner of the Orwell Prize for Journalism.
Provocations is a groundbreaking new series of short polemics composed by

Down with the Royals
Joan Smith
Joan Smith makes the argument for the end of the monarchy
and for an elected head of state in Britain.
After Diana, there seemed some hope that Britain would finally grow up and get
rid of the monarchy, a symbol of inequality and privilege. But the royals have been
smart and were able to cleverly re-invent and thus re-establish the institution.
Now with William, Kate, and baby George, it has become almost treasonable to
argue for an elected head of state. But that is exactly why it must be done, according to Joan Smith.
Joan Smith is a columnist, novelist, and human rights activist. She is the author
of Moralities, the highly praised and celebrated Misogynies, most recently The
Public Woman, and five detective novels. She is co-chair of the Mayor of Londons

As part of the infamous Double Cross operation, Jewish double agent Renato Levi
proved to be one of the Allies most devastating weapons in World War Two.
In 1941, with the help of Ml6, Levi built an extensive spy ring in North Africa
and the Middle East. But, most remarkably, it was entirely fictitious. This network
of imagined informants peddled dangerously false misinformation to Levis unwitting German handlers. His efforts would distort any enemy estimates of Allied
battle plans for the remainder of the war.
His communications were infused with just enough truth to be palatable, and
just enough imagination to make them irresistible. In a vacuum of seemingly
trustworthy sources, Levis enemies not only believed in the CHEESE network,
as it was codenamed, but they came to depend upon it. And, by the wars conclusion, he could boast of having helped the Allies thwart Erwin Rommel in North
Africa, as well as diverting whole armies from the D-Day landing sites. He wielded
great influence and, as a double agent, he was unrivaled.
Until now, Levis deceptions and feats of derring-do have remained completely
hidden. Using recently declassified files, Double Cross in Cairo uncovers the heroic
exploits of one of the Second World Wars most closely guarded secrets.
Nigel West is a military historian specializing in security and intelligence topics. He sits on the editorial board of the International Journal of Intelligence and
Counter-Intelligence and Global War Studies and, for the past three years, he has
chaired the panel of judges for the annual St. Ermins Intelligence Book of the

The Body Snatcher
Patrcia Melo
Translated by Clifford Landers
A tightly plotted crime novel of drug dealing gone wrong,

police corruption, and macabre blackmail,
by Brazils best-selling mystery writer.
Praise for The Body Snatcher:

An excellent and atypical book, a fantastic adventure.The Huffington Post
An explosive mixture of dread, greed and corruption. You wont put it down until
youve read the very last page.Cosmopolitan
This tightly plotted novel by Brazils best-selling crime author is a tale of drug dealing gone wrong, police corruption, and macabre blackmail, set in a heat-soaked
town in the vast untamed Brazilian lowlands bordering Bolivia. One bright
Sunday, alone on the banks of the Paraguay River, the narrator witnesses the
fatal crash of a small plane. He finds a kilo of cocaine in the dead pilots backpack and pockets it along with the pilots expensive watch. Thus begins the
protagonists long slide into corruption.
When police locate the crash site, the pilots body is missing and a large-scale
search ensues. Our hero, now involved in a busted cocaine deal, ends up owing a
Bolivian drug gang so much money that blackmailing the wealthy family of the
dead pilot seems to be the only way out. When the family secretly agrees to pay
serious money to recover the body of their son, our hero, who does not have the
pilots body, decides someone elses will do. . . . Or so he thinks.
Patrcia Melo is an author and playwright born in Sao Paolo (1962). Her novels
Lost World, The Killer, In Praise of Lies, and Inferno have been published in English
to rave reviews. Her works have also been translated into Italian, Spanish, and
Dutch.

Sani Ankaraligil was an attractive young woman and a politically active ecolo
gist in the middle of a divorce from her wealthy husband. So who would benefit
from her death? The industrial companies Sani had accused of polluting the rivers of Western Turkey, or her jealous husband seeking revenge through an honor
killing, or a Thracian separatist group? The investigation pulls Kati into murkier waters: the marriage may have been a sham, designed to cover up Sanis husbands homosexuality . . . the role of her mother-i n-law goes from distasteful to

Betty Boo

Translated by Miranda France
Seemingly unconnected deaths lead to the darkest secrets of the

Argentine establishment. It all begins in a luxurious gated community.
Praise for Claudia Pieiro:

Thursday Night Widows is a fine morality tale which explores the dark places societies enter when they place material comfort before social justice, and security
before morality.Publishers Weekly
If you read only one crime book in translation this year, make All Yours the one,
a book that grabs you from the start and whips along at pace. It screams out to become a filmThe Postman Only Brings Double Indemnity perhaps.CrimeTime
The fourth novel from Claudia Pieiro, South Americas best-selling crime
novelist.
When a renowned Buenos Aires industrialist is found dead at his home in an
exclusive gated community called La Maravillosa, the novelist Nurit Iscar (once
nicknamed Betty Boo owing to a resemblance to the cartoon character Betty
Boop) is contracted by a former lover, the editor of a national newspaper, to cover
the story. Nurit teams up with the papers veteran, but now demoted, crime reporter. Soon they realize that they are falling in love, which complicates matters
deliciously.
The murder is no random crime but one in a series that goes to the heart of the
establishment. Five members of the Argentine industrial and political elite, who
all went to the same boarding school, have died in apparently innocent circumstances. The Maravillosa murder is just the last in the series and those in power
in Argentina are not about to allow all this brought to light. Too much is at stake.

Im No Longer Troubled by the
Extravagance
Rick Bursky
Mapping human fragility, lost lovers, and mysterious pasts,
this new collection is an exploration of the extravagance of being alive.
Im No Longer Troubled by the Extravagance is a collection of poems that assign

new meanings to the people and things of the past. The book moves in three sections through a fantastic landscape that maps human fragility. The poems in the
first section speak to matters of the heartintimacy and losspunctuated by
lovers who leave. The second section is comprised of prose poems chronicling
misadventures and conspiracies: Russian spies on Wilshire Boulevard, artichokes that mate for life, and secret photographs of God. Finally, the third section pans out from individual experience, hosting the collective in fable-like
reflections. Together, the poems in Extravagance mark with fragile acceptance
the surreal extravagance of being alive.
The Relentless
One day well know how long
the dead have to be dead
before they feel hunger.
One day itll be summer forever.
In the meantime, the weather,
looking for its cue, keeps an eye on me;
and I keep whatever moneys in my pocket
crumpled in a ball. A relentless
responsibility dogs me, and the funny thing
is, these are the lyrics to a happy song.
Go ahead, tap your foot,
snap your fingers.
Were roasting a pig in the yard.
Rick Bursky is the author of Death Obscura (Sarabande Books, 2010) and The Soup
of Something Missing (Bear Star Press, 2004), winner of the Dorothy Brunsman
Poetry Prize. He lives in Los Angeles where he works in advertising and teaches

You Who Cross My Path
Erez Bitton
Translated by Tsipi Keller
The first bilingual US publication of celebrated Israeli poet Erez Bitton,

often considered the founding father of Mizrahi Israeli poetry.
This first US publication of Erez Bitton, one of Israels most celebrated poets, recalls the fate of Moroccan Jewish culture with poems both evocative and pure.
Considered the founding father of Mizrahi Israeli, a major tradition in the history of Hebrew poetry, Bittons bilingual collection dramatically expands the
scope of biographical experience and memory, ultimately resurrecting a vanishing world and culture.
Preliminary Background Words
My mother my mother
from a village of shrubs green of a different green.
From a birds nest producing milk sweeter than sweet.
From a nightingales cradle of a thousand Arabian nights.

My mother my mother
who staved off evil
with her middle fingers
with beating her chest
on behalf of all mothers.
My father my father
who delved into worlds
who sanctified the Sabbath with pure Araq
who was most practiced
in synagogue traditions.
And I
having distanced myself
deep into my heart
would recite
when all were asleep
short Bach masses
deep into my heart
in Jewish-
Moroccan.
Erez Bitton was born in 1942 to Moroccan parents in Oran, Algeria, and emigrated to Israel in 1948. Blinded by a stray hand grenade in Lod, he spent his
childhood in Jerusalems School for the Blind. He is considered the founding father of Mizrahi poetry in Israelt he first poet to take on the conflict between North African immigrants and the Ashkenazi society, and the first to use
Judeo-A rabic dialect in his poetry. His most recent award is the Bialik Lifetime
Achievement Award (2014).

Get Muddy
Personal Stories of Obstacle Course Racing
Gail Waesche Kislevitz
What its like to compete in Spartan Races, Tough Mudders, Warrior

Dashes, Muddy Buddies-a
ll the new and grueling obstacle races.
A collection of dramatic first-person stories about the experience of competing in obstacle course races (OCRs). In the style of First Marathons and Becoming
an Ironman, these stories give the subjective experience of participating in the
sport, either for the first time, or as a lifestyle. Get Muddy is a whats-it-like
book more than a how-to, though there are practical tips aplenty throughout.
OCR is the new series of events for people who have become bored with merely
running a marathon, or doing a triathlon, or, say, completing Army boot camp.
OCR involves a constantly changing combination of such challenges as: crawling
under barbed wire, jumping over fire, spear throw, wall scaling, electric shocks,
ice water bathsa ll while running a course that may be anywhere from three to
ten miles, or more.
Participation numbers for OCR are booming. Having started just a few
years ago, Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, and Warrior Dash now see over a million participants per year combined. And new OCR series spring up constantly,
like Mudderella (for women only), Civilian Military Combine, Savage Race, and
Rugged Maniac.
Just as marathons and 10Ks saw a huge national running boom, we are now
at the dawn of a huge OCR boom. Get Muddy will appeal to everyone from the
mildly curious to the wildly committed.

Backcast
Ann McMan
Backcast is Fried Green Tomatoes meets The Big Chill

by way of A River Runs Through It.
Ann McMan is the lesbian Armistead Maupinonly better.Lee Lynch,

author of The Swashbuckler
When sculptor and author Barb Davis is given an NEA grant to pair original
feminist sculptures with searing first-person essays on transitions in womens
lives, she organizes a two week writing retreat with twelve of the best, brightest, and most notorious lesbian authors in the business. But in between regularly
scheduled happy hours and writing sessions, the women enter a tournament
bass fishing competition, receive life coaching from a wise-cracking fish named
Phoebe, and uncover a subterranean world of secrets and desires that is as varied
and elusive as the fish that swim in the waters of Lake Champlain.
Set on the beautiful shores of Vermonts Lake Champlain, Backcast is richly
populated with an expansive cast of endearing and outrageous characters who
battle writers block, quirky locals, personal demons, unexpected attractions,
and even each other during their two-week residency. For Barb and each of her
twelve writers, the stakes in this fast-moving story are high, but its emotional
and romantic payoffs are slow and sweet.
Filled with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and breathtaking pathos,
Backcast serves up a sometimes irreverent, sometimes sobering look at the hidden lives of women, and how they laugh, love, lose, and blunder through their
own search for meaning.
Ann McMan is the author of five novels, including Jericho and Aftermath, and
two short story collections. She has won two Golden Crown Literary Awards
and her novel, Hoosier Daddy, was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist.

Life on the Rocks
Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery
Peg OConnor, PhD
A unique exploration toward an understanding of the nature of recovery

from active addiction using the perspective of Western philosophy.
Addiction and recovery are, at their core, about the meaning of life. Life on the
Rocks is the first book to address addiction and recovery from a Western philosophical perspective, offering a powerful set of tools sharpened over millennia.
It introduces some of the core concepts and vexing questions of philosophy to
help addicts and those affected by their addiction examine and perhaps transform the meaning they make of their lives.
Without assuming any familiarity with philosophy, Dr. Peg OConnor illuminates issues all addicts and their loved ones face: self-identity, moral responsibility, self-k nowledge and self-deception, free will and determinism, fatalism, the
nature of God, and their relations to others. Life on the Rocks is an indispensable
guide to the deeply philosophical concerns at the heart of every addicts struggle.
Peg OConnor, PhD, is professor of philosophy and gender, women, and sexuality studies at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. She is the author of the
popular Psychology Today blog Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken and contributor to the Pro Talk series at Rehabs.com.

Seeing the Light:
Four Decades in Chinatown
Dean Wong
Dean Wong captures four decades of Asian American life in West Coast
Chinatowns. At turns poignant, heartbreaking, and uplifting.
Photojournalist Dean Wong has been chronicling life in Americas Chinatowns

for four decades. His sensitive eye and man-of-the-people interviews bring these
ghettos disguised as tourist traps to life. Through Wong, we meet the drag queen
deciding to stop his medications and die of AIDS with dignity; the elderly
Chinese American facing eviction as the neighborhood gentrifies; the artist told
by the city that his shop is a fire hazard; and the man who challenged Bruce Lee
to a fight . . . and lost. Wong focuses his attention on the Chinatowns of Seattle,
San Francisco, Vancouver, and New York. He reveals how Chinatown is sometimes a misnomer because these neighborhoods often include large pockets
of Vietnamese, Japanese, and other Asian American families. He also chronicles the celebratory side of life in these communities, from the events around
Lunar New Year to a much-a nticipated visit by the Dalai Lama. Building on
the groundwork of Bonnie Tsuis American Chinatown (2009), Seeing the Light
exposes an oft overlooked American community and reminds the reader that
these neighborhoods are filled with much more than good places to get dim sum.
Dean Wong is an award-w inning photojournalist who has been chronicling
Asian American life for nearly forty years. The city of Seattle and King County,
Washington, declared March 8, 1995, Dean Wong Day to honor his efforts
documenting the Asian and Pacific American community.

Underground Music Scenes, 19611991
Sam Knee
Youth subculture in twentieth-century Britain was a unique phenomenon. Through
out the decades, young people sought to define themselves sartorially, reflecting
their identity in terms of regionalism, class, and crucially, musical taste, through
their clothes. This book is a comprehensive survey of forty-fi ve tribes that
roamed the streets of Britain from the 60s to the 90s. From Mod to Skinhead
and Rocker to Rudeboy, the look of each movement is captured in meticulously
researched, previously unpublished archive photography.
Explanatory texts by Sam Knee as well as an illustrated look-book appen
dix make this an important resource for fashion students, musos, and cultural

The Do-Right
Lisa Sandlin
The do-rightthats old Southern talk for prison.

Delpha Wade doesnt want to go back there. Fourteen years is enough.
1973. Thats fourteen years of prison time after Delpha Wade killed a man who
was raping her. She wanted to kill the other one too, but he got away. So its hard
to find a decent job. But Delphas persistence pays off. She lands a secretarial
job with Tom Phelan, a neophyte private eye. Delpha is smart and prison-w ise
to human nature. Phelan is a Vietnam vet and an ex-roughneck who lost a finger
working the oil rigs out in the Gulf. Together Phelan and Delpha stumble into
the dark side of Beaumont, a small blue-collar Cajun city dominated by Big Oil.
A mysterious client plots mayhem against company men whose new oilfield
product is set to rock the industry. Teenage boys are disappearing and Phelan,
following his hunches, uncovers a menagerie of exotic animals and a serial
killer. And Delphaon a weekend outinglooks into the eyes of her rapist,
the one who got away. The novels conclusion is classic noir, full of surprise,
excitement, and karmic justice. Lisa Sandlins elegant prose, twisting through
the dark thickets of human passion, allows Delpha to open her heart again to the
wonders of friendship, compassion, and human sexuality.
Lisa Sandlins story Phelans First Case was anthologized in Lone Star Noir and
was later re-a nthologized in Akashics Best of the Noir series, USA Noir. The DoRight is her first full-length mystery. Lisa was born in Beaumont, currently lives
and teaches in Omaha, Nebraska, and summers in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

After the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Reverend Robert Spike stepped
away from the media spotlight and from civil rights politics. As director of the
National Council of Churches, he had organized churches to support the passage of both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. He collaborated
with major civil rights leaders on strategy, and he helped the LBJ White House
craft legislation and the Presidents civil rights speeches, especially on the Voting
Rights Act. Then in Columbus, Ohio, he was viciously murdered. The murder
was never solved. Very little effort went into finding the murderer. The Columbus
police and the FBI put a special spin on the storythey hinted the unsolved murder was the brutal end of a gay relationship. During his fathers rise in the civil
rights movement, Paul Spike lived a life eerily similar to Holden Caulfieldsa
young intellectual lost in the labyrinth of booze, drugs, and girls. At Columbia
University, he was on the fringes of the S.D.S. Movement. That rootless life
ended with his fathers murder. He began his search for the meaning of his
fathers life and death.
In the new afterword, Spike says, Murder is an indelible stain on a family. It
never fades. After fifty years, I understand why I tried to do this. And why I left
America. I still dream of justice for my father.
Paul Spike lives in London where he writes about politics, literature, film, and
travel for a wide range of newspapers and magazines.

As Far As I Know
Joseph Somoza
Remember the poetry of William Stafford?

Staffords quiet wisdom? Good. Now listen up.
Joseph Somoza wanders the same territory. Differently.
From the foreword, Freight Train: Being an immigrant from Spain who spoke
mostly Spanish but who wanted to become full-fledged American, I also wanted
to make my poems from ordinary, spoken English, without excessively rhetorical devices, the kind of language spoken by my first heroes in America, my uncle
Arthur and his buddies who would meet at his gas station regularly to shoot
craps, drink Ballantine Ale, and recall their youthful adventures as merchant
seamen, the real language of men, as William Wordsworth called it. This would
be a natural American-English language that an ordinary American in a heightened state of emotion might actually speak, a language heightened just enough
to draw attention to itself but not so much that it would sound artificially poetic,
the kind of language a later hero of mine, Jack Kerouac, used.
The Trees
Sitting here among my friends
the trees, I feel their
quietude, the gratitude
they show by holding out
their limbs, generously
allowing the moss to grow
on them, and squirrels and birds to
build nests in their crowns.
They dont seem to mind my
sitting here, maybe sensing
how much I value their
contemplative nature,
their general satisfaction
with the way things are.
Rooted to their one place
in the woods, they dont
crave something better,
nor complain about the weather.
They stand tall and straight,
side by side accepting
whatever comes.

Under the Affluence
Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich
and Sacrificing the Future of America
Tim Wise
A scalding indictment of how the wealthy influence the national
economy, politics, and media to disadvantage those less fortunate.
One of the most brilliant, articulate, and courageous critics of white privilege
in the nation.M ichael Eric Dyson
Tim Wise is one of Americas most prolific public intellectuals. His critically acclaimed books, high-profile media interviews, and year-round speaking schedule
have established him as a leading voice for racial equity. In Under the Affluence,
Wise builds on his fierce critique of racial privilege to discuss a related issue: class
disparity and a culture of cruelty that demonizes those in need.
As Wise demonstrates, there was a time when the hardship of fellow Americans
stirred feelings of sympathy, civic responsibility, and direct support for policies
meant to alleviate poverty. But today, mainstream discourse increasingly blames
low-income folks for their own situation, and the notion of an intractable culture
of poverty has pushed our country in an especially ugly direction. Wise shows
how the wealthy elite have commandeered discussions about class, moving the
nation toward scorn and disengagement from the marginalized.
With clarity and precision, Wise not only documents growing contempt for
the nations have-nots, but also explores the underlying forces that perpetuate it.
In doing so, he demonstrates how classism, racism, and sexism are inextricably
linked, and how popular culture contributes to a deepening indifference to those
who are struggling. Finally, Wise shows that far from a culture of poverty, it is the
culture of affluence and power that deserves the blame for Americas simmering
economic and social crises.
Tim Wise is the author of many books, including Dear White America and
Colorblind.

Private Roy Scranton survived his missions in Iraq by telling himself he was already dead. Meditating on ancient samurai manuals provided him the clarity needed to see through the chaos roiling all around him. Once back home,
Scranton hoped hed be far away from turmoil, but quickly realized that such
freedom is no longer possible: not only does global warming now present a far
more serious threat than terrorism, we humans have become our own worst
enemy. The increasing chaos of the world we now live int he Anthropocene
therefore demands a whole new vision of human life and living.
In this bracing, visionary response to the urgent challenges of global warming,
Scranton explores what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world, taking readers on a journey through millennia of geological history, the latest findings of earth scientists, raucous street protests, a historic UN summit, and great
works of ancient literature. Expanding on his explosive New York Times essay
the #1 most-emailed article the day it appearedthis provocative book explores
the existential challenges we pose both to ourselves and the living planet as well
as the redemptive roles culture and the humanities offer our common future.
A war veteran, journalist, author, and Princeton PhD candidate, Roy Scranton
has published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and
Boston Review, and has been interviewed on NPRs Fresh Air, Fox News, and
other media.

The Beats Abroad
A Global Guide to the Beat Generation

The international phase of the Beat Generations story, documenting

their travels and the tremendous influence it had on their writing.

The Beat Generation may be one of the great homegrown countercultures of

the United States, but in fact its writers traveled widely and lived abroad for periods of time. Their travels were a vital source of inspiration, and in turn they
inspired literary scenes and kindred spirits around the globe.
The writers we think of as beat first met in New York City in the 1940s and
50s, then joined up with others in San Francisco to form the group that became
the Beat Generation. By the 1960s their books had become seminal texts for
Americas counterculture, and many were being published in translation. As
their travels brought them into contact with writers around the world, the Beats
influence spread far beyond the United States.
Renowned Beat scholar Bill Morgan documents that international phase of
the Beat Generations story. He delves deep into epicenters like Paris, Tangier,
and Mexico City, and tracks down more remote locales from Siberia to Colombia.
Entries contain specific addresses for the globetrotting reader to visit on every
continent, and are loaded with fascinating stories that illuminate the lives and
works of Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Jack Kerouac,
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and others during their adventures abroad. This handy
reference lets the reader trace Ginsbergs trail through India, or find the hotel
in Tangier where Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch, and much, much more.
Bill Morgan is the author of numerous books, including The Typewriter is Holy:
The Complete Uncensored History of the Beat Generation and I Celebrate Myself:
The Somewhat Private Life of Allen Ginsberg.

Hiparama of the Classics
Lord Richard Buckley
Foreword by Al Young
Introduction by Joseph Jablonski
Iconic monologues by the famed exemplar of Cool, Lord Buckley.
Buckley influenced the Beats, Lenny Bruce, Bob Dylan,
and Robin Williams, among others.
Lord Richard Buckley, His Royal Hipness, a.k.a. the Charlie Parker of Talk,
was an American performer, recording artist, and hip poet/comic who, in the
1940s and 50s, created a character that was, according to the New York Times,
an unlikely persona . . . part English royalty, part Dizzy Gillespie. Buckleys
unique stage persona anticipated aspects of the Beat Generations sensibility, and
influenced figures as various as Ken Kesey, George Harrison, Tom Waits, Lenny
Bruce, and Robin Williams. Bob Dylan, in his book Chronicles, wrote: Buckley
was the hipster bebop preacher who defied all labels.
Buckley was immensely popular, appearing multiple times on televisions
Tonight Show Starring Steve Allen and The Ed Sullivan Show, among others.
Presenting himself as a jazz philosopher, hemp-headed hipster, and Guru of
the Gone World, his speech flowed with jazz rhythms and surreal elaboration.
Buckley enchanted audiences with his endlessly inventive monologues, and
Hiparama of the Classics presents seven of his best-k nown routines, satirizing
Shakespeare (Willie the Shake), the Marquis de Sade (The Mark), Mahatma
Ghandi (The Hip Ghan), Jesus (The Nazz), Cabeza de Vaca (The Gasser),
and others.
First published in 1960, this new expanded edition contains, in addition to
Buckleys hip-semantic raps, a new foreword by Al Young; a selection of letters between Lord Buckley and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, his editor and publisher; and photographs by legendary music photographers Jim Marshall, Jerry Stoll, and others.
Lord Richard Buckley was born in 1906 and died in New York City in 1960.

Incidents of Travel in Poetry
New and Selected Poems
Frank Lima
Edited by Garrett Caples and Julien Poirier
Introduction by Garrett Caples
New and selected work by a major Latino poet,
the best kept secret of the New York School.
Frank Lima is an American Villon.David Shapiro

Protg of Frank OHara, Kenneth Koch, and Allen Ginsberg, the streetwise
Puerto Rican/Mexican poet Frank Lima was the only Latino member of the
New York School during its historical heyday. Born in Spanish Harlem in
1939, he endured a difficult and violent childhood, discovering poetry as an
inmate of the juvenile drug treatment center under the tutelage of the painter
Sherman Drexler, who introduced him to his poet friends. Rubbing shoulders with everyone from Edwin Denby and Joe Brainard to Jasper Johns to the
de Koonings, Lima appeared in key New York School anthologies and published two collections of his own with prominent publishers. In the late seventies, Lima left the poetry world to pursue a successful career as a chef, and
though he rarely published, and his work fell out of circulation, he continued to
write a poem a day until his death in 2013.
Incidents of Travel in Poetry is a landmark re-i ntroduction to the work of this
major Latino American poet. Beginning with poems from Inventory (1964), his
installment in the legendary Tibor de Nagy poetry series, Incidents includes selections from Limas previous volumes, tracing his development from his early
snapshots of street life to his later surrealist-influenced abstract lyricism. The
bulk of the collection comes from his later unpublished manuscripts, and thus,
Incidents represents the full range of Limas work for the first time. Edited by
poets Garrett Caples and Julien Poirier, it includes a biographical introduction.

A contributor to Donald Allens seminal New American Poetry anthology, John

Wieners was on the periphery of many of the twentieth centurys most important
avant-garde poetry scenes, from Black Mountain and the Boston Renaissance to
the New York School and the SF Renaissance. Having achieved cult status among
poets, Wieners has also become known for the compelling nature of his journals,
a mixture of early drafts of poems, prose fragments, lists, and other fascinating
minutiae of the poets imagination. Stars Seen in Person: Selected Journals of John
Wieners collects four of his previously unpublished journals from the period between 1955 and 1969. The first journal depicts a young, openly gay, self-described
would-be poet dashing around bohemian Boston with writer and artist friends,
pre-d rugs and pre-fame. By the last book, decimated by repeated institution
alizations (the first for drug-related psychosis, the rest the consequence of the
first) and personal tragedies, Wieners is broken down and in great pain, but still
writing honestly and with detail about the life hes left with. These journals capture a post-war bohemian world that no longer exists, depicted through the prism
of Wienerss sense of glamour.
John Wieners studied with Charles Olson at Black Mountain College, and
later edited the small magazine Measure. He lived for a year and a half in San
Francisco, where he wrote his breakthrough book, Hotel Wentley Poems (1958).
In the early seventies he settled into an apartment on Bostons Beacon Hill,
where he lived and wrote until his death in 2002.

The Gunman
Movie Tie-In Edition
Jean-Patrick Manchette
Translated by James Brook
Now a major motion picture starring Sean Penn, Javier Bardem,
Idris Elba, and Ray Winstone. This is the official movie tie-in edition.
For Manchette and the generation of writers who followed him, the crime novel
is no mere entertainment, but a means to strip bare the failures of society, ripping
through veils of appearance, deceit, and manipulation to the greed and violence
that are the societys true engines.The Boston Globe
Theres not a superfluous word or overdone effect . . . one of the last cool, compact and shockingly original crime novels Manchette left as his legacy to modern
noir fiction.The New York Times
Martin Terrier is a hired killer who wants out of the game, so he can settle down
and marry his childhood sweetheart. But the Organization wont let him go: they
have other plans for him. In a violent tale that shatters as many illusions as bodies,
Jean-Patrick Manchette subjects his characters and the reader alike to a fierce exercise in style. This tightly plotted, corrosive parody of the success story is widely
considered to be Manchettes masterpiece, and was named a New York Times
Notable Book in 2002. The Gunman is a classic of modern noir.
Jean-Patrick Manchette was a French crime novelist credited with reinventing
and reinvigorating the genre. He wrote ten short novels in the 1970s and early
80s, and is widely recognized as the foremost French crime fiction author of
that time. His stories are violent, existentialist explorations of the human condition and French society. A jazz saxophonist and screenwriter, Manchette was
also a left-w ing activist influenced as much by the writings of the Situationist
International as by Dashiell Hammett.

The Xenotext
Book I
Christian Bk
Enciphered in a bacterium, The Xenotext
is the worlds first living poem.
Many artists seek to attain immortality through their art, but few would expect
their work to outlast the human race and live on for billions of years. As Canadian
poet Christian Bk has realized, it all comes down to the durability of your
materials.The Guardian
Internationally best-selling poet Christian Bk has spent more than ten years
writing what promises to be the first example of living poetry. After successfully demonstrating his concept in a colony of E. coli, Bk is on the verge of
enciphering a beautiful, anomalous poem into the genome of an unkillable bacterium (Deinococcus radiodurans), which can, in turn, read his text, responding to it by manufacturing a viable, benign protein, whose sequence of amino
acids enciphers yet another poem. The engineered organism might conceivably
serve as a post-apocalyptic archive, capable of outlasting our civilization.
Book I of The Xenotext constitutes a kind of demonic grimoire, providing
a scientific framework for the project with a series of poems, texts, and illustrations. A Virgilian welcome to the Inferno, Book I is the orphic volume in a
diptych, addressing the pastoral heritage of poets, who have sought to supplant
nature in both beauty and terror. The book sets the conceptual groundwork for
the second volume, which will document the experiment itself. The Xenotext is
experimental poetry in the truest sense of the term.
Christian Bk is the author of Crystallography (1994) and Eunoia (2001), which
won the Griffin Poetry Prize. He teaches at the University of Calgary in Alberta.

The Art of Superbrothers
DIY Video Games and the Future of Storytelling
Adam Hammond
How a scrappy new wave of video game creators

have leveled up to a new expressive medium.
Video games, once dismissed as idle entertainment, are experiencing a cultural

renaissance. Galvanized by easier manufacturing methods and better distribution
channels, a new generation of independent designers and developers have
created games that are startlingly original, accessible, and artistic. In 2011, one
of the most visionary of those indie developers, Superbrothers, released Sword
and Sworcery EP. An immersive, paradigm-shifting adventure gameWired
magazine said it had the best creative direction of any mobile role-playing-game
weve seenit became a global phenomenon.
Now, writer Adam Hammond journeys to Superbrothers secret headquarters
in rural Quebec to chronicle the creation of their eagerly anticipated follow-up
title. As one of the first players of the new game, Hammond provides a unique,
ringside account of the gaming world. Along the way, he shows how indie video
games have evolved into a socially progressive art form, tracing their creative
DNA in everything from modernist fiction to punk rock.

Men of Action
Howard Akler
An essay on consciousness, patrimony,

old crime films, and the desire to write.
The problem of consciousness may just be a semantic one. The brain absorbs a sea of
sensory input, the tiniest fraction of which reaches the shore of our awareness. We pay
attention to what is most novel, most necessary at the time. At its most reductive, the
word consciousness refers to the synchronized firing of neurons across multiple areas
of the brain, the mental experience of attending.
But should consciousness be summed up simply by its subsconscious mechanism?
I would prefer a more imaginative answer.
After his father, Saul, undergoes brain surgery and slips into a coma, Howard
Akler begins to reflect on Sauls life, the complicated texture of consciousness,
and Aklers struggles with writing and his own unpredictable mind. With echoes
of Paul Austers The Invention of Solitude and Philip Roths Patrimony, Men of
Action treads the line between memoir and meditation, and is at once elegiac,
spare, and profoundly intimate.
Howard Akler is the author of The City Man, which was nominated for the Amazon
First Novel Award, the City of Toronto Book Award, and the Commonwealth
Writers Prize. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Pillow
Andrew Battershill
Elmore Leonardstyle noir meets Surrealism:

Pillow punches above its weight in this playful literary debut.
Most of the things Pillow really liked to do were obviously morally wrong. He wasnt
an idiot; clearly it was wrong to punch people in the face for money. But there had been
an art to it, and it had been thrilling and thoughtful for him. The zoo was also evil, a
jail for animals whod committed no crimes, but he just loved it. The way Pillow figured it, love wasnt about goodness, it wasnt about being right, loving the very best
person, or having the most ethical fun. Love was about being alone and making some
decisions.

Pillow loves animals. Especially the exotic ones. Which is why he chooses the
zoo for the drug runs he does as a low-level enforcer for a crime syndicate run
by Andr Breton. He doesnt love his life of crime, but he isnt cut out for much
else, what with all the punches to the head he took as a professional boxer. And
now that hes accidentally but sort-of happily knocked up his neighbor, he wants
to get out and go straight. But first theres the matter of some stolen coins, possibly in the possession of George Bataille, which leads Pillow on a bizarre caper
that involves kidnapping a morphine-addled Antonin Artaud, some corrupt
cops, a heavy dose of Surrealism, and a quest to see some giraffes.
Andrew Battershill is a writer and teacher currently living in Columbus, Ohio.
A graduate of the University of Torontos MA in creative writing program, he was
the fiction editor and co-founder of Dragnet Magazine.

The Murder of Halland
Pia Juul
Translated by Martin Aitken
When Halland is found murdered almost right outside his door, his widow, Bess,
is of course the prime suspect. She isnt worried about that, though, but about
the daughter she abandoned years ago. As the police investigate, the slightly cantankerous Bess instead follows a trail of her own regrets and misapprehensions.
Atmospheric and haunted by the uncanny, The Murder of Halland is anything
but your typical whodunnit. It won Denmarks most important literary prize,
Den Danske Banks Litteraturpris, and its English translation was longlisted for
the IMPAC Dublin Prize.
Pia Juul has published five books of poetry, two short story collections, and
two novels.
Martin Aitken is a translator living in rural Denmark.

threshold of fire. Since her first book appeared fifty years ago, Nicole Brossard
has left us breathless, expanding our notion of poetry and its possibilities.

Mission Creep
Joshua Trotter
Mission Creep began as reworkings of the CIAs Human Resources Exploitation

obeying literary
Training Manual. Attempts to torture the text itself
constraints, employing audio editing tools, and displacing it with other voices,
including Hannah Arendts and Evel Knievelsreveal convoluted narratives,
transmissions that contemplate whether torture provides useful information. At
once a fugue and an absurdist comedy, info-overload and pure tone, Mission Creep
comes on with the fire of apocalyptic prophecy and melts on the tongue like the
last snowflake of winter.
Joshua Trotter lives in Montreal, Quebec. His first book, All This Could Be
Yours, was one of the National Posts top ten poetry books of 2010.

The Story of My Teeth
Valeria Luiselli
Translated by Christina MacSweeney
Bon vivant, world traveler, auctioneerthe story of Highway and
his teeth is like Johnny Cash meets Robert Walser in Mexico.
Praise for Valeria Luiselli:

Valeria Luisellis lovely and eccentric first novel is . . . peppered with arresting
imagery.The New York Times
Luisellis extraordinary debut novel Faces in the Crowd signals the arrival of
major talent.Jeremy Ellis, Brazos Bookstore
With her first novel, Luiselli has established herself as a brilliant explorer of

Luisellis Faces in the Crowd is one of the most mesmerizing debut novels in
recent memory.Diesel Bookstore Blog
Valeria Luisellis Faces in the Crowd was a National Book Foundations 5 Under 35
and Indies Next Pick.
I was born in Pachuca, the Beautiful Windy City, with four premature teeth and my
body completely covered in a very fine coat of fuzz. But Im grateful for that inauspicious start because ugliness, as my other uncle, Eurpides Lpez Snchez, was given
to saying, is character forming.
Highway is a late-in-life world traveler, yarn spinner, collector, and legendary auctioneer. His most precious possessions are the teeth of the notorious infamous
like Plato, Petrarch, and Virginia Woolf. Written in collaboration with the workers
at a Jumex juice factory, Teeth is an elegant, witty, exhilarating romp through the
industrial suburbs of Mexico City and Valeria Luisellis own literary influences.
Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City in 1983 and grew up in South Africa.
Her work has been translated into many languages and has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Granta, and McSweeneys.

Upright Beasts
Lincoln Michel
Twenty-one genre-bending stories of bestial transformation,

accidental murder, erotically challenged dictatorship,
and other tales of darkness, absurdity, and confusion.
Praise for Lincoln Michel:

Lincoln Michel is one of contemporary literary cultures greatest natural
resources.Justin Taylor, Vice
Time passes unexpectedly or, perhaps, inexactly at the school. Its hard to remember
what semester we are supposed to be in. Several of the clocks still operate, but they
dont show the same time. The red bells, affixed in every room, erupt several times
each day, yet the intervals between the disruptions wax and wane with an unknown
algorithm. The windows are obscured by construction paper murals. Consequently,
the sun rises and falls in complete ignorance of those of us attending the school. Many
of us participated in the decorations in some lost point of childhood. A few of us still
have dried glue under our fingernails.
In the room I sit in now, the windows are covered with a glitter and glue reenactment of the colonization of Roanoke by Sir Walter Raleigh. Outside of the window,
who knows?
Children go to school long after all the teachers have disappeared, a man manages an apartment complex of attempted suicides, and a couple navigates their
relationship in the midst of a zombie attack. In these short stories, we are the upright beasts, doing battle with our darker, weirder impulses as the world collapses
around us.
Lincoln Michels work has appeared in BOMB, Oxford American, Tin House, the
Believer, the Paris Review Daily, and elsewhere. A founding editor of the literary
magazine Gigantic, Michel also serves as an online editor for Electric Literature.

Coffee House Presss upcoming book, titled Cat is Art Spelled Wrong, takes the
opportunity to examine a seemingly irrelevant subject from new perspectives
from the line is between reality/self on the internet to how cat videos demonstrate either that nothing matters, or that any art matters if anyone thinks
it does. Thus, its an earnest attempt to uncover more about human nature
especially in todays internet-d riven world.Cool Hunting
Fifteen writers, all addressing not just our fascination with cat videos, but also
how we decide what is good or bad art, or art at all; how taste develops, how that
can change, and why we love or hate something. Its about people and technology and just what it is about cats that makes them the internets cutest despots.

Jim Harrison
One of Americas leading novelists and poets,
Jim Harrison is a writer with immortality in him.The Sunday Times
His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a still-ravenous appetite for
life.The Texas Observer
Harrison doesnt write like anyone else, relying entirely on the toughness of
his vision and intensity of feeling.Publishers Weekly
Harrisons essential honesty is deeply affecting.Library Journal
The title Dead Mans Float is inspired by a technique used by swimmers to conserve energy when exhausted, to rest up for the long swim to shore. In his fourteenth volume of poetry, Jim Harrison presents keen awareness of physical
pains, delights in the natural world, and reflects on humanitys tentative place
in a universe filled with ninety billion galaxies. By turns mournful and celebratory, these fearless and exuberant poems accomplish what Harrisons poems always do: wake us up to the possibilities of being fully alive.

Green Migraine

Michael Dickman offers a fresh and enticingly weird perspective on the
everyday beauty and violence of nature.
Reading Michael [Dickman] is like stepping out of an overheated apartment

building to be met, unexpectedly, by an exhilaratingly chill gust of wind.

power remains even after several readings.The Believer
Not since Dylan Thomas has an American poet taken such careful aim at the
enemies of love.Rain Taxi
My master plan is happiness, writes Michael Dickman in his wonderfully
strange third book, Green Migraine. Here, imagination and reality swirl in the
juxtaposition between beauty and violence in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the verdant poetry of John Clare, Dickman uses surreal, dreamlike
images to encapsulate, illustrate, and illuminate how we access internal and external landscapes. The result is nothing short of a fantastic, modern-day fairy tale.

Juventud
Vanessa Blakeslee
Fifteen years after the harrowing afternoon that sent Mercedes fleeing
Colombia, she returns to confront her father about what happened.
A harrowing, international coming-of-age story, Juventud is unforgettable, erotic,

and suspenseful. I was willing to follow the protagonist Mercedes anywhere;
into the Cali nightclubs, to her shooting lessons, into bed with her lovers, and to
the dangerous activist meetings and rallies that mark a point-of-no-return in her

The Voiceover Artist
Dave Reidy
Simon breaks his eighteen-year-long vow of silence in order to

master his stutter, find love, and become a voiceover artist.
Woven into the middle of this captivating story is the most accurate depiction of
the Chicago improv world that Ive ever read. When you open the book, you can
smell the stale beer and hear the clever quips.Keegan-M ichael Key, co-creator
and co-star of the Peabody Awardw inning Comedy Central series Key & Peele
My first thought picking this book up was what if Binx Bolling [of Walker Percys
The Moviegoer] were really Catholic and winds up not glib in New Orleans but
stuttering in Chicago? This is a completely errant, if not arrant, idea. The Voiceover
Artist is a broad, ambitious, multifaceted, exacting set of portraits of some very
twisted folks. They are their own analysts, viciously jockeying to win. Mr. Reidy
can be frightening.Padgett Powell, Whiting Award winner and author of six
novels, including You & Me

a world that has become a global village.

is a poet, dramatist, and scholar. Tram 83 is his award-w inning and raved-

This is a touching story about overcoming fear and the role of chance in life.

Between You and Me
Scott Nadelson
A happy NYC bachelor leaves the city for a suburban life

with an alluring wife and her two perplexing children.
Every night, after the kids have gone to bed, he searches for their shoes. They might be
anywhere: under the family room couch, in the middle of the kitchen floor, on the basement landing, or if its warm enough, out on the lawn, growing damp with dew. This is
one of his contributions to the efficient running of the household, maybe his most important contribution, though not the most visible. If anyone has noticed, none has said
a word. He performs the task quietly, without announcing himself, and takes private
pleasure in knowing how useful he has been.
Paul Haberman was happy living alone in the city until he met Cynthia, an enchanting suburban single mother. After he moves to New Jersey to marry her,
Pauls life reshapes itself dramatically around his new family and home, evolving over the years in ways he could never have imagined. In this funny, moving,
episodic novel, Scott Nadelson reveals the quiet beauty, doubt, and longing of
a blended familys life in the unglamorous American suburbs.
Scott Nadelson is the author of three story collections, most recently Aftermath,
and a memoir, The Next Scott Nadelson: A Life in Progress. Winner of the Reform
Judaism Fiction Prize, the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award,
and an Oregon Book Award, he teaches at Willamette University and in the

Ways to Spend the Night
Pamela Painter
Love and heartache sing in fifteen tales of grief, loss,

and healing from a master of the short story form.
Clare and her oldest friend from college had been planning this visit for the past three
months. But only yesterday, her arms full of towels and pillows, Clare realized that it
was too soon for her husbands study to become a guest room. First she needed to talk
through her anguish and anger at finding him there, slumped over his desk beside
the empty vials of pills, finding his folded note that said Clare.
A widower finds his stolen car and begins a relationship with the thief; a woman
whose sisters levy accusations against their dying father wonders why he chose
them, not her; a divorcing couple celebrates a final beach weekend with their

Off the Record with FDR
19421945
William D. Hassett
A new paperback edition of a long out of print classic about

Franklin D. Roosevelt and World War II by his personal secretary.
Roosevelt the antiquarian, the anecdotalist, the collector of books, the gentle
man farmer, the affable host . . . and important part of Roosevelt and one which
has not been so well documented before.A rthur Schlesinger, Jr.
As a personal picture of Roosevelts lighter moments during the war, Hassetts
diary is unsurpassed.The Christian Science Monitor
It is Hassetts ability to observe . . . that gives the reader the sense of knowing
the real Roosevelt during those years.San Francisco Chronicle
William D. Hassett was an assistant secretary to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He left a
revelatory account of his three years of daily interaction with the President, ac
companying him on many train trips to and from Hyde Park, that remained en
tirely hidden to the press and most outsiders. Hassett was a newspaperman and
public relations executive who had a close relationship with FDR, who admired
his profound erudition and talent as a writer. At times the secretary, who scru
pulously recorded the comings and goings of innumerable visitors and dignitar
ies, secret and not, added some of his own observations and evaluations of one
person or another. Many of the slow train rides from a railroad siding kept se
cret to most people to Hyde Park were the occasion for visitors to come on board
along the way or for FDR to stop and spend some time in conference off the train.
These recorded chronicles are quoted in most historical works about Franklin D.
Roosevelt, particularly during the war years, as an unmatched treasure trove that
enhances the historical record.

The Jews in Fascist Italy: A History
Renzo De Felice
The first and classic major study published after the war
on anti-Semitism and the Holocaust in a single country.
My aim was to explain in detail the facts surrounding Fascist anti-Semitism and the
persecution of the Jews in Mussolinis Italy. Too many people in Italy and elsewhere
underestimate or deny the tragic fate of European Jewry and anti-Semitism between
the two world wars. A few short years ago anti-Semitism appeared defeated and reduced to a tiny group of fanatics. But now it seems to be regaining ground in its more
political incarnation, probably the most dangerous one, because next to the religious,
social and economic varieties it is the most insidious of all.

The author occupies a central position among Italian historians specialized in

modern Italys political history. He broke new ground by first publishing this
book in 1961, having obtained special permission to consult the files in the
archives of the Italian Jewish Communities concerning the Fascist regimes
persecution of the Jews in Italy from 1938 to 1945. The books release coincided
with the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem that brought the Holocaust to the
attention of other historians and to the world public. The English translation
of the final 1993 edition was supported by a grant from the Italian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. This paperback and electronic book edition is published in asso
ciation with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The French Revolution
Pierre Gaxotte
The American Revolution, though it profoundly stirred the imagination of the

French people, was not so cataclysmic, nor so immediate and widespread in its
effects, as the events that broke out thirteen years later in France. The French
Revolution provoked a deep cleavage within society that it later exported to most
of Europe. Frances Communists hold Robespierre, the instigator of the Terror,
as one of their inspirations while Pierre Gaxotte, writing in the 1920s, viewed
Communism as the logical heir to the Revolution. Many contemporary histori
ans appear far closer to Gaxotte in their more realistic portrayals of those events
than to the innumerable Marxist scholars who preceded them.

I Was There:
The Memoirs of FDRs Chief of Staff
William D. Leahy
Throughout almost five years from November, 1940, to the end of World War II in
September, 1945, my duties placed me at pivotal points in the high command that accomplished the defeat of our enemies against what at times seemed heavy odds. These
observations are based on participation in many historic discussions at which the course
of the war was charted and at which attempts were made to map the road to peace.
As Franklin D. Roosevelts chief of staff, Admiral William D. Leahy was in

Crave
Sojourn of a Hungry Soul
Laurie Jean Cannady
This compelling memoir chronicles a young girls journey

through abuse, impoverishment, and a continuing search
for sustenance that will not die.
Crave is a coming-of-age memoir that chronicles a young girls journey through

abuse and impoverishment. The effusive narration descends into the depths of
personal and sexual degradation, and perpetual hunger for food, safety, and survival. While moving through gritty exposs of poverty, abuse, and starvation,
Crave renders a continuing search for sustenance that simply will not die.
Laurie Jean Cannady is most recognizable through her voice. Lyrical and august, yet strangely intimate, her lucid memory for the texture of daily existence
weaves the reader into the fabric of the story. We discover that the most slender
threads bind the strongest.
It is no surprise this memoir is a narrative about a victim who becomes a
survivor. Cannady is assertive, motivational, and unafraid to reach her target
audience: women, African Americans, high-school students, college students,
survivors of physical and sexual abuse, veterans, people raised by single parents,
and folks who are living in or have lived through impoverishment.
Laurie Jean Cannady, an associate professor of English at Lock Haven University,
spends much of her time encouraging students to realize their true potential. She
is a consummate champion of womens issues, veterans issues, and issues affecting underprivileged youth. Cannady resides in central Pennsylvania with Chico
Cannady and their three children.

Two unlikely friends, cast out of their own families,

search for understanding in 1950s bohemian New York City.
This novel is book club gold. . . . The Cosmopolitans is a great group read
weighty dilemmas, unforgettable characters, and a roller-coaster plot!
Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow
A modern retelling of Honor de Balzacs classic Cousin Bette by one of Americas
most prolific and significant writers. Earl, a black, gay actor working in a meatpacking plant, and Bette, a white secretary, have lived next door to each other in
the same Greenwich Village apartment building for thirty years. Shamed and
disowned by their families, both found refuge in New York and in their domestic routine. Everything changes when Hortense, a wealthy young actress from
Ohio, comes to the city to make it. Textured with the grit and gloss of mid
century Manhattan, The Cosmopolitans is a lush, inviting read. The truths it
frames about the human need for love and recognition remain long after the
book is closed.
Sarah Schulman, a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer, professor, and journalist, has published seventeen books. Her awards include a
Guggenheim, Fulbright in Judaic Studies, two American Library Association
Book Awards (fiction and nonfiction), and the Kessler Prize for Sustained

where we come from, while simultaneously expressing everything that we are.

When Handong, a ruthless and wealthy businessman, is introduced to Lan Yu,

a nave, working-class architectural studentt he attraction is all-consuming.
Arrogant and privileged, Handong is unsettled by this desire, while Lan Yu
quietly submits. Despite divergent lives, the two men spend their nights together,
establishing a deep connection. When loyalties are tested, Handong is left questioning his secrets, his choices, and his very identity.
Beijing Comrades is the story of a torrid love affair set against the socio
political unrest of late-eighties China. Due to its depiction of gay sexuality and
its critique of the totalitarian government, it was originally published anonymously on an underground gay website within mainland China. This riveting
and heartbreaking novel, circulated throughout China in 1998, quickly developed a cult following and remains a central work of queer literature from the
Peoples Republic of China. This is the first English-language translation of
Beijing Comrades.
Bei Tong is the anonymous author of Beijing Comrades. The authors real-world
identity has been a subject of ongoing debate since the novel was first published.

Lets Let That Are Not Yet : Inferno
Ed Pavlic
Domestic interiors, international flights, the metier of jazz, the restless

ambition that things on paper and above improveall are here.
Youve been thinking to yourself that it all feels very American. Ed Pavlics tireless, resourceful speaker is American, of indeterminate race, implicated at every
conceivable point of entry into the struggles that go on here, which is everywhere, the Inferno of the title: if an //analogy affects an enemy then lets let //
inferno the enemy inferno the enemy.
In a Daybook of paper stapled together by George Oppen ca. 1964, he wrote:
There is the area of Lyricthe
area in which one is absolutely
convinced that ones emotions
are an insight into reality
and death
But valuesas they say
at a Dominican picnic, one summer back when there were only four of us, we sat on
a blanket watching the band. Stacey gets up and walks away and a woman sitting with
her kids and fourmaybe?sisters turns to me smiling and asks me a question in
Spanish. The other women turn to look at me. I say I dont understand. She : your wife,
she speaks es-Spaneesh? Me : no, not really. And she : Is she Dominican? And me:
no, shes black. The women bounce looks off each other and back to me. Kids oblivious.
She: jou mean black black? Me : yes, blackblack
the dark colour was so dark. . .

Harmony Holiday
This book is a magazine. African American ads, icons, and archives

stand on their heads; its a shakedown. What releases is integrated.
Harmony Holiday curates poems-as-text and image-as-impression, lyricism, and

activism. The legacies of Miles Davis and Martin Luther King, Jr. and Billie
Holiday and other icons collide, harnessing taboos they upheld triumphantly.
Layers of a story coalesce in restricted space producing ghettos, or a mythologi
cal advertising omniverse wherein shadow and light integrate, complicating our
fantasies.
The New Mythology Begins to Love me
With an immediacy that seems at once artless and profoundly sophisticated. You
know how Billie Holiday sounds vague and precise like an unmarked grave that might
your fathers but he had another name for his disappearance, he called it love eventfully shattered with enough of it
I heard black people dont get depressed, besides as luxury, and the bible says. Whats
popular now is the way the miracle of pure style cures or is it curses, crosses our heart,
hopes to hide of what it dont get while new angels sing hexes into bottles of northern
comfort. Uproar. Jesus, already these myths are obsolete too and fresh the cold details
he was bleeding his twisted love into. He was bleeding his twisted love. He was bleeding his twisted love. He was bleeding his twisted love.
Born in Waterloo, Iowa, poet and choreographer Harmony Holiday was educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and at Columbia University. Her
debut collection of poems, Negro League Baseball (2011), won the Motherwell
Prize. Go Find your Father/A Famous Blues, a dos-a-dos book featuring poetry,
letters, and essays, came out in late 2013. Holiday lives in Los Angeles, California.

Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror 2
Paul Legault
An uber-homage to primary texts and the
brilliant white gay male poets who write them.
In 1975 John Ashbery published Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror and the book
won the three major American prizest he Pulitzer, the National Book Award,
and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Now it has won an oppositional-
compliant ardent admirer in Paul Legault, who relates directly and dreamily to
each poem, from memory, face en face. The relationship is complicated.
From As One Put Drunk into the Packet-Boat 2:
I tried the immortal thingssome of them were free.
The glass in front of us stopped us
At least for a while, waiting for the light to do its thing: sift
Through the previously unwaded-through season
Like someone named Autumn, walking around

In autumn. The dispatcher mimics the dispatch

Simultaneously to its arrival. The controlled environment
Became compromised by a Circean power. We decided
Whod come in. I wasnt going anywhere,
Me having filled my white pockets;
But if youd mentioned the time, I wouldve suggested
We rise to the occasions. Things werent necessarily lost,
But that, like whether we could feed the entire company,
Depended on where you stoodand in what structure.
Paul Legault was born in Ontario and raised in Tennessee. He holds an MFA in
creative writing from the University of Virginia and a BFA in screenwriting from
the University of Southern California. Legault is the co-founder of the translation press Telephone Books and the author of three books of poetry. He lives in
St. Louis, Missouri, and serves as a writer-in-residence at Washington University.

The garden is revealed as both lyrical and mathematical in this explosive work.

Knowing nothing about flora the large and small vegetation is represented by color or

One unhappy hour the garden breaks away from the image of such irrefutable

Ampersand Revisited
Simeon Berry
Simeon Berrys Ampersand Revisited is a lurid, lyrical trio of

open prose poems marking up the blueprint of familial myth-making.
Consisting of three long poems, Ampersand Revisited traces the legacy of a

father drawn toward the occult and a mother immured in a personality disorder through the experiential wisdom of a neurotic Connecticut teenager.
Circumscribed by a growing awareness of erotic consequence, the speaker
struggles to navigate a spiritual and anatomical landscape that is equal parts lyri
cal and lurid. A deft balancing act between sublimation and the sublime, Simeon
Berrys narrative moves lithely through open prose forms, illuminating each psychic Venn diagram as he untangles illness from intuitive information, seeking the
troubling crux at the heart of the ineffable. Selected by Ariana Reines (Coeur de
Lion, Mercury) for The National Poetry Series.

Horizontal Collaboration
The Erotic World of Paris, 19201946
Mel Gordon
Mel Gordon presents a companion volume to his highly praised

pictorial history Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin.
Mel Gordon, author of Voluptuous Panic, the celebrated history about the sex
culture of Weimar Berlin, returns with a stunningly illustrated look at Paris, The
City of Pleasure, prior to and during German occupation during World War II.
The book Horizontal Collaboration encompasses the Jazz Age, Depression,
World War and Occupation, and Liberation. It concludes with the shuttering of
the licensed brothels in 1946, which some Parisian intellectuals thought was
the final destruction of French civilization.
The term Horizontal Collaboration refers to the sexual liaisons between
French civilians and German occupiers from 1940 to 1944. These were extremely
widespread and included both individual wartime relationships in addition to
prostitution. As Allied armies swept across the French countryside, thousands
of young womena nd some menwere savagely punished by the authorities
or by vigilante crowds, becoming a source of deep national shame.
Gordon redefines the pejorative term to mean something much broader:
French men and women horizontally collaborated to overcome all social ob
stacles, divisions, and regulations. These obstacles include married and un
married couples, straights and homosexuals, foreigners and locals, gun-toting
soldiers and their vanquished subjects. The natural yearning for sexual pleasure
equally corrupted all cohabitating partners.
This book rediscovers a remarkable time when the aesthetic and erotic capi
tol of Europe experienced remarkable heights and shameful lows. . . . Hundreds
of images, most never before seen in a book, encompass this fascinating but little-
known history.

Famous for its revolutionary aspects in musical, political, sexual identity, and
consumerist ideas, punk rock also has its lesser-k nown gangster ethos as well, ex
plained here by players in the various punk gangs.
The Los Angeles, Orange County, and South Bay punk scenes were popu
lated by blue collar kids who responded to the violence and aggression of punk
songs and shows. A number of them formed punk gangs that got into beatings,
drug dealing, and murder. Among them, no gang was more notorious than La
Mirada Punks, or LMP.
Says LMP chieftain Frank the Shank after getting arrested by police for
murder: After having my hands in so much bloodshed over the years, I most
certainly had it coming. I deserved whatever I got.
Unexpectedly Frank was bailed out from prison by his fathers friend, a mob
gangster.
Too many people died at the hands of punk rock violence, said Frank. I
got lucky, some didnt. As an ultra-v iolent punk rock gangster, I admit my part in
ruining the scene. L.A. punk was a magical moment of youth expression like no
other. And the gangs ruined punk rock. I still have people telling me today that
they quit punk because of LMP. I dig graves at a small cemetery just outside Los
Angeles. What else would you expect for Frank the Shank?

The White Nationalist
Skinhead Movement
UK & USA, 19791993
Robert Forbes and Eddie Stampton

This book does as no other book dares: provide an exhaustive history
of the white nationalist skinhead movement.
When Feral House first published the award-w inning Lords of Chaos: The Bloody
Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground, little was known about the black metal
genre of music, or how many of its members were involved in the murder of citi
zens, the torching of churches, or its link to Fascist ideas.
Weve all heard about the racist form of skinhead punk music, but little do we
know of the groups involved and how they got oriented in right-w ing political
movements.
The White Nationalist Skinhead Movement is the first book to provide much
more than mere photographs of the scene, documenting the bands, their mem
bers, the releases, shows, and infamous events. Robert Forbes and Eddie
Stampton can authoritatively speak of the movement, obtaining firsthand ma
terial from members of the scene.
This book covers both British and American bands, and even if you revile
the movement, its ideas, and its music, this is an important piece of pop culture
history.
Feral Houses controversial Lords of Chaos has sold over one hundred thou
sand copies.

The infamous eco-anarchist John Zerzan, whose books have resulted in recent in
terviews by Vice and Believer magazines, checks in with further provocative ar
ticles about the chaotic results of civilization and technology.
Says novelist Lang Gore in his introduction:
The present collection of essays continues the overarching thrust of Johns
scholarship, unveiling the post-apocalyptic nature of our times by noting the
apocalypse was yesterday, several thousand years ago, to be precise, and that
nothing produced by civilization can ever redeem the systematic attempt it has
undertaken these (very) few millennia to destroy or alienate any human con
nection with the earth.
In fact, when civilized Europeans imposed themselves everywhere on
Earth, they created a terminal crisis for themselves by their very contact with
indigenous societies. Suddenly, those with eyes to see and ears to hear could
recognize that patriarchy, property and authority, and certainly slavery, were
neither necessary nor desirable, let alone determined by human nature.

Elephant: The Art Culture Magazine
Elephant is a quarterly magazine about art and visual culture. Featuring up-to-
the-m inute visual material, fresh faces, and original voices, the magazine covers
and uncovers new trends and talent.
The current art world is divided between the traditionally proper realm and
what is known as applied and commercial art. The most interesting work seems to
be happening in the middle of the two: when photographers, architects, designers, and creatives manage to transcend their initial brief and start thinking like
artists. Elephant documents when and how artists wander outside the confines
of the museum and gallery environment, becoming aware of trends and thinking like designers.
Direct, sincere, and multi-d isciplinary, Elephant aims to have more depth and
breadth than any other visual art magazine. It visits art and design studios, steps
on graffiti artists toes, rides fixed-gear bikes, plays with new computer games, disturbs rehearsals, and interrupts takes. The elephant is always in the room.

restrictions of space and limitations of lighting. The outcome is the realization

ephemeral environments that leave an indelible impression.

Postdigital Artisans
Craftsmanship With a New Aesthetic in
Fashion, Art, Design and Architecture
Jonathan Openshaw
Postdigital Artisans profiles sixty contemporary artists and designers,
accompanied by rich illustrations of their postdigital work.
Digital technology has irreversibly changed how we see, think, and act. A staggering number of us spend as much as half our waking hours online. Right now,
more people are gazing at a screen than looking out a window. As we are drawn
deeper into a symbiotic relationship with the digital, there is also a growing desire
for more tactile, immersive experiences. Touch screens dont eliminate the need to
touch something more palpable than an electronic visual display.
Its in this context that todays postdigital artisans operate. Inescapably
influenced by the digital world, they nonetheless reject strictly screen-based
design and total reliance on automated production, such as 3D printing. They
advocate a return to craft, with objects made from clay, metal, glass, and wood.
They neither turn their backs on technology nor glorify nostalgia, but the hightech honeymoon is over. They see materials as the heart of art, design, fashion,
and architecture.
Postdigital Artisans profiles sixty contemporary artists and designers, accompanied by rich illustrations of their work. Essays and interviews by and with leading figures such as Hans Ulrich Obrist, Nathan Jurgenson, and Glenn Adamson
deftly analyze all forms of postdigital creativity, from visual art and design to
architecture and urban planning.

Ancient Wyoming
A Dozen Lost Worlds Based on the Geology of the Bighorn Basin
Kirk Johnson and Will Clyde
Sponsored by a grant from The Natural Science Foundation

to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, this title is
a window into the vanished world of ancient Wyoming.
Ever wondered what the ground below you was like millions of years ago? Merging paleontology, geology, and artistry, Ancient Wyoming brings to life scenes
from the distant past and provides fascinating details on the flora and fauna of
the past three hundred million years. The book provides a look back in time at
Wyoming, both as it is today and as it was throughout ancient history, at times
a vast ocean, a lush rain forest, and a mountain prairie.
Kirk Johnson is the Sant Director of the Smithsonians National Museum of
Natural History. He received his PhD in geology and paleobotany from Yale
University in 1989, and did postdoctoral research in the rainforests of northern
Australia before joining the Denver Museum of Natural History in 1991, where
he directed the installation of the museums Prehistoric Journey exhibit. His research focuses on fossil plants, the environmental effects of the dinosaur-smiting
asteroid, and the birth and death of biomes. Johnson lives in Washington, DC.

How I Learned to Love Squeegee Men, Token Suckers,

Laura Pedersen
Best-selling author Laura Pedersen serves up a
hilarious memoir about three decades of big city life.
Laura Pedersen, author of bestseller Play Money and award-w inning Buffalo Gal,
serves up a hilarious memoir about three decades of city life. Originally from
Buffalo, New York, friends thought the seventeen-year-old was suffering from
blizzard delirious when she left for Manhattan. Pedersen experiences her adopted city in the best and worst of times while becoming the youngest person
to have a seat on the stock exchange, performing stand-up comedy, and writing
a column in the New York Times. Neighborhoods that feature chai bars, Pilates
studios, and Gymboree were once drug dens, ganglands, and shantytowns. A
trip to Central Park often ended in Central Booking, identifying a perp in a lineup.
New Yorkers are as diverse as the city they so colorfully inhabit, cautious but
generous, brash but welcoming. Both are captured through the comedic eye of
Pedersen. Enjoy an uproarious romp down memory lane as the city emerges as
the modern metropolis we know today.

Wilderness and the Common Good
A New Ethic of Citizenship
Jo Arney
A scholars examination of how wilderness

and its preservation enriches all of our lives.
Why should we save Americas wilderness areas? True and lasting protection
for the environment, political science professor Jo Arney argues, will be borne
of a shared understanding of the answer to this question. Wilderness and the

Sagan, Paris 1954

Anne Berest
Before Franoise Sagan the literary icon there was Franoise Quoirez, an
eighteen-year-old Parisian girl, who wrote a novel.
This intimate narrative charts the months in 1954 leading up to the publication of the legendary Bonjour Tristesse. We encounter Franoise, her family and
friends close-up, in a post-war world that is changing radically; Mlle Quoirez, in
her new guise of Franoise Sagan, will be at the heart of that social change.
Anne Berest was writing her third novel when Sagans son, Denis Westhoff,
asked her to write a book to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the publication of
Bonjour Tristesse.

early twentieth century by twenty-two world-famous artists. Masterpieces include Paul Gauguins Nafea faa ipoipo (When will you Marry?) (1892), the most
expensive work of art ever sold, Vincent van Goghs Daubignys Garden (1890),
Pablo Picassos double-s ided canvas Femme dans la loge / Buveuse dabsinthe
(1901), and Marc Chagalls three monumental Rabbi portraits. There are extraordinary paintings by artists of international stature including Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler and Russian expressionist painter Alexej Jawlensky, and
works by Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Czanne, Claude Monet,
Amedeo Modigliani, Georges Rouault, and Wassily Kandinsky.
The volume also studies how Staechelin and Im Obersteg developed friendships with and influenced the work of artists, and how they came to create two of
the most significant collections of modern art in Europe.

This lavishly illustrated volume is the first comprehensive study of the folk art
collection purchased by the New-York Historical Society from Elie and Viola
Nadelman in 1937. Exhibited by the couple from 1926 to 1937 in their pioneering Museum of Folk and Peasant Arts in Riverdale, New York, the nearly fifteen thousand works come from a collection spanning six centuries, thirteen
countries, and a broad range of media. Authors Margaret K. Hofer and Roberta
J.M. Olson explore a nucleus of some two hundred and sixteen highlights in
eighty-seven catalog entries, as well as nine of Nadelmans own sculptures,
and consider the possible interchanges between the Nadelmans collecting and
his avant-garde art. Their research, employing new archival evidence from the
Historical Society and the rich cache of Nadelman Papers, has resulted in exciting discoveries, among them Nadelmans active role in restoring some of his
folk art objects.
Featuring seven provocative essays, Making It Modern breaks new ground not
only on the Nadelmans and folk art, but also in the history of American art and
taste during the fast-paced cultural revolutions of the early twentieth century.

Freedom Is a Constant Struggle
Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement
Angela Y. Davis
Edited by Frank Barat
Preface by Cornel West
Black Power icon Angela Y. Davis explores the connection between

Ferguson, Palestine, prison abolition, and the struggle for liberation.
Daviss arguments for justice are formidable. . . . The power of her historical insights
and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied.The New York Times
In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles
against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.
Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison
abolitionism for todays struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-
Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyzes todays struggles
against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine.
Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and
build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that
Freedom is a constant struggle.
Angela Y. Davis is a political activist, scholar, author, and speaker. She is an outspoken advocate for the oppressed and exploited, writing on black liberation,
womens liberation, prison abolition, and international solidarity with Palestine.
She is the author of several books, including Women, Race, and Class and Are
Prisons Obsolete? She is the subject of the acclaimed documentary Free Angela
and All Political Prisoners and is professor emerita at the University of California,

Concerning Violence
Fanon, Film, and Liberation in Africa, Selected Takes 19651987
Edited by Gran Hugo Olsson and Sophie Vukovic

Introduction by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
More than 150 stirring photographs of the anticolonial struggles
in Africa in the sixties and seventies give life to the
revolutionary writings of Frantz Fanon.
Concerning Violence [is] a post colonialist montage . . . [an] illustration of Fanons

1961 anticolonialist broadside, The Wretched of the Earth, abridged and sharpened
to its ferocious point.The New York Times
By grounding colonial brutalities and the responses to those injustices in the
visual, the phenomenon of colonialism attains a larger and more global significance. Olssons interest is in decolonizationthat short yet potent moment at
the tail end of an anti-colonial war followed by the transfer of power when the
new nation comes into being. This has often proven to be one of the most violent episodes in post-colonial history, and [Frantz] Fanon is its most articulate
philosopher. . . . Olssons investment [is] in making Fanons theory relevant and
up-to-date.The Guardian

Uncivil Rites
Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom
Steven Salaita
Steven Salaitas controversial firing by the University of Illinois

provoked a national conversation about academic freedom
and the question of Palestine.
In the summer of 2014, renowned American Indian Studies professor Steven

Salaita had his offer of a tenured professorship revoked by the University of
Illinois board of trustees. Salaitas employment was terminated in response to
his public tweets criticizing the Israeli governments summer assault on Gaza.
Salaitas firing generated a huge public outcry, with thousands petitioning for
his reinstatement, and more than five thousand scholars pledging to boycott the
University of Illinois. His case raises important questions about academic freedom, free speech on campus, and the movement for justice in Palestine.
In this book, Salaita combines personal reflection and political critique to
provide a thorough analysis of his controversial termination. He situates his
case at the intersection of important issues that affect both higher education and
social justice activism.
Steven Salaita is author of six books, including Israels Dead Soul (Temple
University Press, 2011). A former tenured professor, he is now an independent
scholar.

From #BlackLivesMatter
to Black Liberation
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
An indispensible contribution to the movement
for racial justice in postracial America.
The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Mike Brown in
Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York City have directly challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against black people and in
the process has punctured the illusion of a postracial America. With its slogan of
Black Lives Matter, this burgeoning movement has awakened a new generation
of activists. In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar KeeangaYamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and
argues that the persistence of structural problems such as mass incarceration and
black unemployment have created a context in which this new struggle against
police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for black liberation.

There is more truth, and perhaps finally more news, in Remi Kanazis poems
than the pages of your daily newspaper or the sterile reports that flash across

Repression creates resistance. It also generates beautiful artistic works, which become a cultural weapon in the struggle for the realization of dreams. This book
of poems is a shining example of tomorrows Palestine.Ronnie Kasrils, former
African National Congress activist and South African government minister
we are the boat / returning to dock / we are the footprints / on the northern trail /
we are the iron / coloring the soil / we cannot / be erased
Remi Kanazis poetry presents an unflinching look at the lives of Palestinians
under occupation and as refugees scattered across the globe. In Kanazis second

A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnits Men Explain Things to Me,
Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of radicals at a moment when
they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind
thema nd the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical
case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain
and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argued that radicals have a long,
neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of
our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable,
and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is
going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the
book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in
our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of 2016 in
an unforgettable new edition of this classic book.
Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of sixteen books including the acclaimed indie bestseller Men Explain Things to Me (Haymarket

China on Strike
Narratives of Workers Resistance
Edited by Zhongjin Li, Eli Friedman, and Hao Ren

China recently surpassed the United States to become the largest economy in the
world. It is also home to some of the largest, most incendiary, and most under-
reported labor struggles of our time. China on Strike, the first English language
book of its kind, provides an intimate and revealing window into the lives of
workers organizing in some of Chinas most profitable factories, which supply
Apple, Nike, Hewlett-Packard, and other multinational companies. Drawing on
dozens of interviews with Chinese workers, this book documents the processes of
migration, changing employment relations, worker culture, and other issues related to Chinas explosive growth.

As well as the American setting, the ups and downs of our protagonist recall
comparable arcs in the novels of Paul Auster and Philip Roth. . . . The plot is compressed and the prose tight. . . . In his sixth novel Martn has delivered a clever
and pacy modern fable.Ben Bollig, The Times Literary Supplement

Karl Doenitz and the Last Days
of the Third Reich
Barry Turner
A powerful new biography of the second and last
and much-malignedNazi Fuhrer.
Among the military leaders of World War Two, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz
remains a deeply controversial figure.
As chief of the German submarine fleet he earned Allied respect as a formidable enemy. But after he succeeded Adolf Hitlerto whom he was un
questioningly loyala s head of the Third Reich, his name became associated
with all that was most hated in the Nazi regime.
Yet Doenitz deserves credit for ending the war quickly while trying to save
his compatriots in the East. His Dunkirk-style operation across the Baltic rescued
up to two million troops and civilian refugees. He was sentenced to ten years at
Nuremberga penalty acknowledged as a blatant example of victors justice
and after his release from Spandau kept well away from politics.
Barry Turners closely examined and even-handed portrait gives a fascinating new perspective on this complex figure, to whom history has not been kind.

sea voyage from which he emerged with better insights into the nature of the
unconscious mind.

Hey Mister, throw me some beads!
Photographs by Bruce Gilden
Interview by Sophie Darmaillacq
A previously unpublished series of early works about New Orleans

by the famous Magnum photographer.
Hey Mister, throw me some beads! is a phrase that is iconic in New Orleans
Mardi Gras street argot. Strings of beads, doubloons, and other trinkets are
passed out or thrown from the floats in the Mardi Gras parades to spectators
lining the streets. In 1974, Bruce Gilden was a young photographer when he
first went down to Mardi Gras to shoot his first personal essay away from his
home city New York. But when Gilden first stepped foot in New Orleans, he
found himself in a pagan dream where you can be what you want to be. So
Gilden became a regular, making seven trips down to the mayhem of Bourbon
Street between 1974 and 1982. The energy, the mentality, and the social and cultural mores of Mardi Gras were all new for Gilden, but he captured the carnival
crowds with the same raw intensity and poignancy that characterize his most
iconic New York street photographs.
A member of Magnum Photos since 1998, Bruce Gilden has taken the genre of
street photography and pushed it in new directions, documenting the essence of
the people he sees and the social landscape through which they move. His photographs have been widely exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world
and are included in many permanent collections, including MoMA and the
Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London;
the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the National Gallery of Canada.

Blank Pages of an Iranian Photo Album
Photographs by Newsha Tavakolian
Text by Anahita Ghabaian and Newsha Tavakolian
An in-depth portrait of the young middle class generation

of Iran far from stereotypical images.
One of the most precious possessions of each Iranian household is the family photo
album. A collection of memories on paper, protected by plastic or cardboard sheets
and bound together by a richly illustrated cover, often showing scenes of snowcapped
mountains and green valleys; a promise of hope and prosperity. The content of most
albums are similar, an endless flow of snapshots taken in 1980s or even at the beginning of the 1990s of family gatherings with birthday cakes for the newborn children or
growing up in the newly founded Islamic Republic of Iran. The yellowed albums and
the pictures of smiling children dressed up in their best clothes are testament to our
hopes and dreams, ending in blank pages when we grew up and our parents stopped
taking our pictures. Reality took over, molding our ambitions and aspirations into a
straight jacket tied firmly both by ideology and our own apathy.

As the recipient of the prestigious Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award

2014, renowned Iranian photographer Newsha Tavakolian (b. 1981) decided
to follow Iranians from several generations with her camera, to continue their
photo album as her vision of life in Iran now. She does not shy away from the
complexity, inaccessibility, and myriad contradictions that shape her homeland. She manages to capture the full picture of contemporary Iran. Tavakolian
mixes artistic creation and journalism with dexterity, starting from a shot of a
family photo album to deftly, but unambiguously, chronicle middle class life.

Where Hunting Dogs Rest
Photographs and text by Martin Usborne
Every winter throughout Spain it is estimated that up to one hundred thousand

hunting dogs are abandoned or killed at the end of the hare-coursing season
when they are no longer needed, perform badly, or are too old. This book portrays dogs that have been rescued and sets them against the landscapes in Spain
where they are typically abandoned. Shot in a style that references the tone and
mood of Velzquez, who painted at a time when these dogs were treated with
great respect, Martin Usbornes photographs show both the classical beauty of
the animals and the ugliness of their modern situation.

focusing on women and handguns. The majority of the women she has photographed have a concealed handgun license which allows them to carry a handgun
covered on their body for protection. Often times they are unexpected gun owners, a young mother or a grandmother. Growing up in Texas gun culture, where
there are an estimated two guns for every person in the state, these women are
quite comfortable with their handguns.

Last Best Hiding Place

Photographs and introduction by Tim Richmond
Essay by Joerg Colberg
Tim Richmonds American West is a desolate place filled with cowboys (or
men who look like cowboys), and the few women are also at least a little rough
around the edges. There are mostly empty roads and what look like desolate
towns, with whatever humans being present feeling like tumbleweeds being
blown about. It is a place filled with characters and locations that manage to be
specific and completely generic at the same time, with a rough, somewhat hurt,
tenderness underneath.

All You Can Lose is Your Heart
Photographs and introduction by KayLynn Deveney
KayLynn Deveneys photographs explore Cinderella-

throughout the American Southwest in the 1950s and 60s, when developers applied fairy tale-s tyle aesthetics to ranch house exteriors. This book, the first
time these houses are subject of a published photographic work, highlights personalized details outside the home resulting in photographs that reach beyond
description to become metaphorical family portraits of those living inside. It
tells us about a fading vision of the American dream, the last indications of a
zeitgeist that encouraged Americans to aspire to a candy-coated vision of family and home.

Completed in the year 1972, Kisho Kurokawas Nakagin Capsule Tower is one of
the few visionary proposals realized by an avant-garde architectural movement
called Metabolism. An experimental apartment complex designed with 140 removable capsules, this building in Tokyo embodies the future of urban living as
envisioned by Kurokawa at that moment in postwar Japan. In recent years, the
building has faced the threat of demolition to make way for a more conventional
structure.
In this first monograph about the building, Noritaka Minami uses photography to document the current state of individual capsules as a response to their
potential disappearance.

Quran and Women
A Narration of Liberation
Asma Lamrabet
Translated by Myriam Francois-Cerrah
A Muslim feminist seeks to reshape readings of the Quran
on women, from within, in this bold and liberating book.
Today, the issue of Muslim women is held hostage between two perceptions: a
conservative Islamic approach and a liberal Western approach. At the heart of
this debate Muslim women are seeking to reclaim their right to speak in order
to re-appropriate their own destinies, calling for the equality and liberation that
is at the heart of the Quran.
However, with few female commentators on the meaning of the Quran
and an overreliance on the readings of the Quran compiled centuries ago this
message is often lost. In this book Asma Lamrabet demands a rereading of the
Quran by women that focuses on its spiritual and humanistic messages in order
to alter the lived reality on the ground.
By acknowledging the oppression of women, to different degrees, in social
systems organized in the name of religion, and also rejecting a perspective that
seeks to promote Western values as the only means of liberating them, the author
is able to define a new way; one in which their refusal to remain silent is an act of
devotion and their demand for reform will lead to liberation.
Asma Lamarbet is a pathologist in Avicenna Hospital, Rabat, Morocco. She is
also an award-w inning author of many articles and books tackling Islam and
womens issues.

Michael Keenan Gutierrez
A photographer returns from WWI France to find a murdered sheriff

and a town in uproar over a miners strike.
In the Somme Valley a British soldier teaches his fellows to hide cigarette coals
inside their mouths. Half a world away, a war-r uined photographer drinks in a bar
beneath a Colorado butchery, blood dripping from the floorboards into ashtrays.
Gutierrez writes with a metaphorical gift and fine hand of an age of war and upheaval where anarchists, coal barons, Pinkertons, corrupt police, broken idealists,
and broken families fight to claim historys muddied field. . . . The Trench Angel
announces a great new talent set to shine for a long time.A lexander Parsons,

Colorado, 1919. Photographer Neal Stephens, home from the War, is blackmailed
by the sheriff over his secret marriage to a black woman in France. When the sheriff is murdered, Neals investigation calls up memories of the trenches and his
search for his dead wife, as he untangles the connections among the murder, the
coalm iners strike, and his mysterious anarchist father.

Quinces
Growing & Cooking
Jane McMorland Hunter and Sue Dunster
Quinces were reputed to be the fruit which Paris gave Aphrodite

and are deliciously sweet and scented when cooked.
Quinces have become an undeservedly forgotten fruit. This book reintroduces

them, making them more accessible and providing an inviting range of recipes.
The trees do not require much space, and are easy to grow. The fruits are delicious and versatile and the recipes here extend well beyond jellies and jams.
From Goats Cheese Tart to Quince Chocolates and Liqueurs, there is something for everyone.
The quince has always had a special place among the fruits of Europe. The
ancient Greeks called it the golden apple, the Romans the honey apple. And
it was most likely a quince, not an apple, that Eve plucked from the tree in the
Garden of Eden.
This book describes the cultivation, the history, and the cooking of quinces.
There is a sketch of the glorious history of the fruit in cookery of past ages; there
are some excellent recipes for savory dishes that depend on the quince for that
special flavor, and for all those sweet dishes that bring out the unique qualities
of the fruit. We tend to forget that the first marmalades were made from quinces.

A story about relationships set within the big themes of

economic inequality and the vision of a more sustainable world.
Vera is a nurse from Sweden who, while delivering a dangerous birth in the

just like the world as she now sees it. Her quest to put her life back together becomes tied up with her vision of a more sustainable world.

has a predatory attitude to women. Could such opposites really attract? And, if
they came together, could they actually do something to halt the global march to
self-destruction?
An exploration of the inter-connectedness of human life and an unexpected
love story, Integrity delves deep into the choices and emotions of a woman trying
to change the world, and a man trying to change with her.
This genre-bending novel has achieved cult status in Sweden where Anna

Strategies and techniques for making a living with

intensive food production in small spaces.

Small-scale meat processing and preservation for the home cook.
Nutrition, environmental impact, ethics, sustainabilityit seems like theres

no end to the factors we must consider when we think about our food. At the
center of the dietary storm is animal-based agriculture. Was your beef factoryfarmed or pasture-raised? Did your chicken free range, or was it raised in a battery cage? Have you, in short, met your meat?
Most efforts to unravel the complexities of the production and consumption of animal protein tend to pit meat eaters and vegetarians against each
other. The Ethical Meat Handbook seeks a middle ground, arguing that by assuming full responsibility for the food on our fork, and more importantly, the
route by which it gets there, animals can be an optimal source of food, fiber, and

Fixing Fashion
Rethinking the Way We Make, Market and Buy Our Clothes
Michael Lavergne
Is global fashion a wolf in sheeps clothing?

An industry insider takes a hard look at the apparel trade.
With sales of more than five hundred billion US dollars a year, the fashion industry is one of the most important sectors of the global economy, employing
millions of men, women, and often children in the developing world. And yet
its record is far from pretty. The collapse of Bangladeshs Rana Plaza with some
thirty-fi ve hundred desperately underpaid garment workers inside was a shocking example of what can go wrong when manufacturers ruthlessly cut costs
while turning a blind eye to labor rights and workplace safety.
Written by an apparel industry insider, Fixing Fashion argues that the true
legacy of Rana Plaza is increased awareness of how cheap, disposable clothing
has led time and time again to serious environmental, community, and labor
rights abuses. Ethical supply chain professional Michael Lavergne explores:

Drinking Molotov Cocktails
with Gandhi
Mark Boyle
Get ready for the new three Rs: Resist, Revolt, Rewild.
More than ever, people are longing for deep and meaningful change. Another
world is not only possible; it is essential. Yet despite our creative and determined
efforts to attain social justice and ecological sustainability, our global crises continue to deepen.
In Drinking Molotov Cocktails with Gandhi, best-selling author Mark Boyle
argues that our political and economic system has brought us to the brink of
climate catastrophe, ransacking ecosystems and unraveling communities for
the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. He makes a compelling case
that we must rewild the political landscape, as history teaches us that positive social change has always been wrought by movements prepared to use any
means available.
The time has come for pacifists, revolutionaries, and freedom fighters to work
together for the creation of a world worth sustaining. Eloquent, visionary, and
beautifully written, this incendiary manifesto strikes at the heart of the worlds
crises and reframes our understanding of how to solve them, signaling a turning
point in our journey towards an ecologically just society.
The three Rs of the climate change generationreduce, reuse, and recycle
are long overdue for an upgrade. Welcome to resist, revolt, rewild.

The disconnection between humans and nature is perhaps one of the most fundamental problems faced by our species today. The schism between us and the
natural world is arguably the root cause of most of the environmental catastrophes unraveling around us. However, until we come to terms with the depths
of our alienation, we will continue to fail to understand that what happens to
nature also happens to us.
In Healing Ecology author Andreas Weber proposes a new approach to the
biological sciences that puts the human back in nature. He argues that feelings and emotions, far from being superfluous to the study of organisms, are
the very foundation of life. From this basic premise flows the development of
a poetic ecology which intimately connects our species to everything that surrounds usshowing that subjectivity and imagination are prerequisites of bio
logical existence.
Healing Ecology demonstrates that there is no separation between us and the
world we inhabit, and in so doing it validates the essence of our deep experience.
By reconciling science with meaning, expression, and emotion, this landmark
work brings us to a crucial understanding of our place in the rich and diverse
framework of lifea revolution for biology as groundbreaking as the theory of
relativity for physics.
Dr. Andreas Weber is a German academic, scholar, and author. He is a leader
in the emerging fields of biopoetics and biosemiotics, and his work has been
translated into several languages and published around the globe.

can conserve enormous quantities of fresh water for other uses.
The Scoop on Poop presents a wide range of ways to answer the call of nature,
and in so doing maximize the benefits of existing waste water. This book explores proven alternatives to Western sanitation. Whether youre interested in

Oblivion
Sergei Lebedev
Translated by Antonina W. Bois
This masterful novel represents an epic literary attempt

to examine a very troubled Russia.
A monomaniacal meditation on memory and forgetting, presence and empti

ness, Europe and its other. . . . While Solzhenitsyn and Shalamov now have the resounding ineffectiveness of classic writers, Lebedevs magnificent novel has the
potency to become a mirror and wake-up call to a Russia that is blind to history.
Neue Zrcher Zeitung
Sergei Lebedev opens up new territory in literature. Lebedevs prose lives from
the precise images and the authors colossal gift of observation.Der Spiegel
The beauty of the language is almost impossible to bear.Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung
In one of the first twenty-fi rst century Russian novels to probe the legacy of the
Soviet prison camp system, a young man travels to the vast wastelands of the
Far North to uncover the truth about a shadowy neighbor who saved his life,
and whom he knows only as Grandfather II. What he finds, among the forgotten
mines and decrepit barracks of former gulags, is a world relegated to oblivion,
where it is easier to ignore both the victims and the executioners than to come
to terms with a terrible past. This disturbing tale evokes the great and ruined
beauty of a land where man and machine worked in tandem with nature to destroy millions of lives during the Soviet century. Emerging from todays Russia,
where the ills of the past are being forcefully erased from public memory, this
masterful novel represents an epic literary attempt to rescue history from the
brink of oblivion.
Sergei Lebedev was born in Moscow in 1981 and worked for seven years on geological expeditions in northern Russia and Central Asia. His first novel, Oblivion,
has been translated into many languages. Lebedev is one of Russias most lauded
and exciting young writers.

Curveball
Jeremy Sorese
A stunning love story of futuristically epic proportions that juxtaposes
mechanical breakdown against humanitys quiet tenderness.
After years of technological advancement, the relationship between humans

and robots is changing. Reduced energy stores mean humans can no longer rely
on the support of their robotic counterparts. In the midst of this turmoil, one
woman faces her own breakdown at the hands of a manipulative friend. Jeremy
Sorese explores how heartbreak can make us feel like the center of the universe
and how the realization that we arent is often more painful than the heartbreak itself.
This is the gorgeous debut of a talented young cartoonist telling the most
universal of tales: a love story.
Jeremy Sorese was born in Berlin, raised in Virginia, and educated in Georgia
at the Savannah College of Art and Design before becoming a resident of La
Maison des Auteurs in Angouleme, France. He is the creator and current writer
of the Steven Universe comic series, published monthly by BOOM studios. He
lives in Brooklyn, New York.

An (Un)Reliable History of Tattoos
Paul Thomas
We would love to tell you about the history of tattoos,

but the desire to crack jokes is too strong!
The tattoo is an art form, a practice . . . for some, a ritual. Its history is long and
colorful, dating back to the Neolithic, when our ancestors marked their bodies
with symbolic lines derived from a carbon paste. Today, those same markings
can be made on entering the neon parlors that line our cities.
Maybe its time to stop taking them so seriously!
Paul Thomass work has also appeared in the Sunday Times, the Times, the

The Things We Dont Do
Andrs Neuman
Translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia
This mind-bending set of storiesthe first of Andrs Neumans

in Englishcalls to mind the best of Julio Cortzar and Jorge Luis Borges.
Good readers will find something that can be found only in great literature, the
kind written by real poets, a literature that dares to venture into the dark with
open eyes and that keeps its eyes open no matter what. . . . The literature of the
twenty-fi rst century will belong to Neuman and a few of his blood brothers.
R oberto Bolao
Playful, philosophizing, and gloriously unpredictable, Andrs Neumans short
stories consider love, lechery, history, mortality, family secrets, therapy, Borges,
mysterious underwear, translators, and storytelling itself.
Here a relationship turns on a line drawn in the sand; an analyst treats a patient who believes hes the real analyst; a discovery in a secondhand shop takes
on a cruel significance; a man decides to go to work naked one day. In these small
scenes and brief moments Neuman confounds our expectations with dazzling
sleight of hand.
With a variety of forms and styles, Neuman opens up the possibilities for
fiction, calling to mind other greats of Latin American letters, such as Julio
Cortzar, Roberto Bolao, and Bioy Casares. Intellectually stimulating and told
with a voice that is wry, questioning, sometimes mordantly funny, yet always
generously humane, The Things We Dont Do confirms Neumans place as one of
the most dynamic authors writing today.
Andrs Neuman was born in Buenos Aires, but grew up and lives in Spain. He
was included in Grantas Young Spanish-Language Novelists issue and is the author of almost twenty works, two of whichTraveler of the Century and Talking
to Ourselveshave been translated into English. Traveler of the Century won
the Alfaguara Prize, the National Critics Prize, was longlisted for the 2013 Best
Translated Book Award, and was shortlisted for the 2013 Independent Foreign
Fiction Prize and the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

Despite its title, there is little of war and much of the fantastic in this coming-of-
age story, which was the last novel Merc Rodoreda published during her lifetime.
We first meet its young protagonist, Adri Guinart, as he is leaving Barcelona
out of boredom and a thirst for freedom, embarking on a long journey through
the backwaters of a rural land that one can only suppose is Catalonia, accompanied by the interminable, distant rumblings of an indefinable war. In vignette-
like chapters and with a narrative style imbued with the fantastic, Guinart meets
with numerous adventures and peculiar characters who offer him a composite, if
surrealistic, view of an impoverished, war-ravaged society and shape his perception of his place in the world.
As in Rodoredas Death in Spring, nature and death play a fundamental role
in a narrative that often takes on a phantasmagoric quality and seems to be a
meditation on the consequences of moral degradation and the inescapable presence of evil.
Merc Rodoreda (190883) is widely regarded as the most important Catalan
writer of the twentieth century. Exiled in France and Switzerland following the
Spanish Civil War, Rodoreda began writing the novels and short storiesTwenty-
Two Short Stories, The Time of the Doves, Camellia Street, Garden by the Seat hat
would eventually make her internationally famous.

Rochester Knockings
A Novel of the Fox Sisters
Hubert Haddad
Translated by Jennifer Grotz
The fictional retelling of the most famous spiritualists
of the nineteenth centurythe Fox Sisters, who conned everyone
with their mysterious knockings.
Hats off to one of the most inventive writers of French literature. . . . Hubert
Haddad concocts a colorful novel, funny and inventive, as clever as the Fox sisters
themselves.Jean-Franois Delapr, Saint Christophe bookstore
The Fox sisters grew up just outside of Rochester, New York, in a house that had
a reputation for being haunted, due in large part to a series of strange rappings
or knockings that plagued its inhabitants. Fed up by whatever was responsible
for the knockings, the youngest of the sisters (who was twelve at the time) challenged the ghost and ended up communicating with the spirit of Charles Haynes,
who had been murdered in the house and buried in the cellar.
Thanks to the enthusiasm of one Isaac Post, the Fox sisters became instantly
famous for talking to the dead, launching the Spiritualist Movement in the United
States. After taking Rochester by storm, the sisters moved to New York where they
were the most famous mediums of the time, giving sances for hundreds of people.
Then, it all fell apart, and the sisters were exposed as frauds. Nevertheless, even
today the Fox sisters are considered to be the founders of Spiritualism, one of the
most popular religious movements of the past couple centuries (consider the success of Long Island Medium and the hundreds of thousands who visit Lily Dale
every year).
Rich in historical detail, Rochester Knockings novelizes the rise and fall of
these most infamous of mediums.
Hubert Haddad was born in Tunisia, and is the author of dozens of works, including the novels Palestine (winner of the Prix des Cinq Continents de la
Francophonie), Tango chinois, and La Condition magique (winner of the Grand
Prix du Roman de la Socit des Gens de Lettres).

Loquela, Carlos Labbs fourth novel and second to be translated into English, is
a narrative chameleon, a shape-shifting exploration of fictions possibilities.
At a basic level, this is a distorted detective novel mixed with a love story and a
radical statement about narrative art. Beyond the silence that unites and separates
Carlos and Elisa, beyond the game that estranges the albino girls, Alicia and Violeta,
from pleasant summer evenings, beyond the destiny of Neutriaa city that dis
appears with childhoodand beyond a Chilean literary movement that could be
the last vanguard, while at the same time the greatest falsification, questions arise
concerning who truly writes for whom in a novelt he author or the reader.
Through an array of voices, overlapping storylines, a kaleidoscope of literary references, and a delirious, precise prose, Labb carves out a space for himself among such great form-defying Latin American writers as Juan Carlos Onetti
and Jorge Luis Borges.
Carlos Labb, one of Grantas Best Young Spanish-L anguage Novelists, was
born in Chile and is the author of a collection of short stories and six novels, one
of which, Navidad & Matanza, is available in English from Open Letter. In addition to his writings, he is a musician, and has released three albums.
Will Vanderhyden received an MA in literary translation from the University

Party Headquarters
Georgi Tenev
Translated by Angela Rodel
A love story cum political thriller, Party Headquarters lays bare the
difficulties and hypocrisies of Bulgarias transition to democracy.
Winner of the Vick Foundation Novel of the Year Award in 2007, Party
Headquarters takes place in the eighties and nineties, during Bulgarias transition from communist rule to democracy.
The bookwhich is a love story, a parody, and a thriller about a political
hoaxopens with the main character visiting his father-in-law, an old communist party boss who is dying and being tasked with delivering a suitcase filled
with one-a nd-a-half million euros.
Its one of Bulgarias most popular myths: as the communist party fell apart,
high ranking officials squirreled away bags and suitcases containing a significant
portion of the countrys wealth, and that these bags are still circulating through
Europe, waiting to be delivered to various conspirators.
But this is just the beginning of the corruption and inequality that plagued
Bulgaria during this time. While immersing himself in pornography and prostitution, the hero of Party Headquarters reflects back on his life and the emblematic
events that took place around that timet he anticommunist protests, the arson
attack on the Communist Party Headquarters in Sofia, and, most tragically and
crucially, the Chernobyl disaster, during which the families of party officials were
sheltered away and fed special, safe food, while the regular citizens suffered.
Beautiful and tragic, Party Headquarters is an engrossing testament to the
struggles that haunted Bulgaria after the fall of the Soviet Union, many of which
continue to resonate today.
Before penning the Vick Prizew inning novel Party Headquarters, Georgi Tenev
had already published four books, founded the Triumviratus Art Group, hosted
The Library television program about books, and written plays that have been performed in Germany, France, and Russia. He is also a screenwriter for film and TV.

The WAR
A Sicilian Story
Tony Gentile
Contributions by Davide Enia
Tony Gentile is the photographer of a powerful icon of an Italy that no
longer exists: the judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino together.
Coverage of Palermo: street life, politics, murders, and an undeclared war that
in the nineties hit an entire city. This book reconstructs a piece of Italian history
through memories that will allow a younger generation to know the facts that may
no longer be remembered, knowledge that is essential for growth. In a contact
print from negatives of pictures taken on March 27, 1992, Giovanni Falcone and
Paolo Borsellino are sitting at the same table. Of the four pictures from that afternoon more than twenty years ago, one has become an icon of an Italy that no
longer exists. Capturing a moment in time, as Leonardo Sciascia once put it, can be
a unique photograph, a moment of unrepeatable equilibrium between form and
content. Life and death alternately sweetly. Among his negatives there is neither
indulgence nor any attempt to evoke pity.
They are not part of the baggage he carries while he shoots pictures. Instead,
it is news, documenting an event and passing it on for what it is. He shoots. Others can decode, others can attribute meta-linguistic meanings to what is simply a
picture.

Saudade Moon is a wonderful and immersive journey across Brazil. The images in this book penetrate the heart and soul, the very existence of the country. Photojournalist Paolo Marchetti captures events, landscapes, and people,
and sees them in a romantic waywith saudade: a Portuguese word referring
to an emotional state related to nostalgia, melancholy, and bittersweet longing.
Through the photographer, who filters reality into his own style, we see Brazil
and its people in an unprecedented, remarkable, and penetrating way. The photographs, both individually and combined, create an ephemeral visual poem that
agitates the senses and ignites emotion.

Same But Not

Twins in their Adolescence
Annette Schreyer
Adolescence is a period where egocentrism and self-discovery prevail, but so
does the desire to interact with people of the same age. Both individualism and
group dynamics shape a teenagers opinions and personality. The photographer explores, being herself a twin sister, the relationship between twins during
adolescence. She investigates how similarity may affect the way a twin builds
his or her own identity.

Bosnian Identity is an iconic journey

through Bosnia. With his photographs,
Matteo Bastianelli depicts the daily life
of Muslim families affected by the war.
The country is still divided between the past and the future, nationalism and
modernization. Hope, black humor, and ongoing suffering are the main characteristics of the Bosnian identity that survived until the end of ex-Yugoslavia. This
photo-report is an occasion to rethink this still-wounded country.
This is a journey into the memory of Bosnia. A dream, an interior image of a
lost generation, traces of an imperceptible line between what happened and what
could be. These are everyday stories of Muslim families, marked by the war. A
voyage of self-awareness amidst the horror of the Srebrenica genocide and the
memory of an ethnic cleansing that will last beyond time.

Priestess of Morphine
The Lost Writings of Marie-Madeleine in the Time of Nazis
Edited by Ronald K. Siegel

Translated by Eric A. Bye, MA
Foreword by Stephen J. Gertz
Here are the erotic writings of a Jewish lesbian who

met fame in Germany before and during the Nazi era.
Marie-Madeleine is the pen name of a once-famous German Jewish lesbian poet

and novelist whose passionate sensuality and love for morphine was revealed
in many of her best-selling books, originally released in the early twentieth century. Although Gertrud Gnther (Marie-Madeleines actual name) was married
to an older Nazi Brigadier-General, her unfortunate death is considered to be
one of the earliest due to the Holocaust.
Priestess of Morphine: The Lost Writings of Marie-Madeleine contains many of
this fascinating womans works, and also contains Stephen J. Gertzs foreword
explaining why Marie-M adeleine has become a rediscovered heroine of lesbian
and drug literature. Fascinating images from Marie-M adeleines lost literature
and career supplement this volume.
Editor Ronald K. Siegel is known for his classics in drug literature, including Intoxication: Life in Pursuit of Artificial Paradise and Whispers: The Voices of
Paranoia.

Language of War, Language of Peace
Palestine, Israel and the Search for Justice
Raja Shehadeh
A passionate and elegant reflection on

the language of the Middle East conflict.
Few Palestinians have opened their minds and hearts with such frankness.
The New York Times
Shehadeh writes beautifully, his language infused with a lyrical, melancholic
sense of loss.The Sunday Telegraph
Shehadeh writes with great clarity and simplicity, but no bitterness about the
unhappy history of his family and country.The Independent
When conflicts become entrenched over generations, the language of war in
filtrates everyday life, concealing destruction and hardening positions. Nowhere
is this truer than in the Middle East.
Award-w inning author Raja Shehadeh explores the politics of language and
the language of politics in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflecting on the walls
that they createlegal and culturalthat confine todays Palestinians just
like the borders, checkpoints, and so-c alled Separation Barrier. He shows
how the peace process has been ground to a halt by twists of language and lin
guistic chicanery that have degraded the word peace itself.
The situation at the worlds greatest political fault line has never looked
bleaker, but still Shehadeh finds reason to hope and explains why.
Raja Shehadeh is Palestines leading writer. He is also a lawyer and the founder
of the pioneering Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq. Shehadeh is the
author of several acclaimed books including Strangers in the House and Occupation
Diaries and is the winner of the 2008 Orwell Prize for Palestinian Walks. He lives
in Ramallah in Palestine.

Youre the Best
A Celebration of Friendship
Satellite Sisters
Two generations of Satellite Sisters share heartwarming, inspirational,
and, most of all, funny thoughts on the friendships that sustain women.
I owe you for that night at that dive bar on our road trip. I should not line dance under
the influence, and I think we both know that now.
I owe you for letting me borrow that really expensive evening clutch with the feathers.
I had no idea puppies liked feathers.
I owe you for that really poor financial advice I gave to you. It was loud on the subway,
but I thought I heard that guy in the suit say, Buy Enron.
I owe you for Brad. Lets not talk about him ever again.
Youre smart. Youre funny. You text just the right amount. Youre the one person who
tells my about the thing in my teeth without sounding just a little bit superior.
Youre the best.
Youre the Best is a thank-you note to female friends, the women we call when
the best things in our lives happenor the worst. Written by two generations of
Satellite Sisters, this beautifully packaged hardcover book explores how we rely
on our friends to get us up, get us going, get us through, and, most importantly,
get us laughing. It makes a superb gift for friends, sisters, mothers, daughters,
and granddaughters.
The Satellite SistersJulie, Liz, Sheila, Monica, and Lian Dolana re five sisters who believe that a sense of connection is what gives meaning to our lives. The
Dolan sisters created Satellite Sisters first as a nationwide radio show and website. Now, the Satellite Sisters connect with a blog, a podcast, books, personal
appearances, and social media; joining them regularly are their cadre of twenty-
something nieces. After winning twelve Gracie Allen Awards for excellence in
womens media, they still have plenty more to say.

The Spy on the Tennessee Walker
Linda Lee Peterson
Maggie Fiori stumbles upon a family mystery going back

to the Civil War and cant rest until she solves it.
Praise for Linda Lee Petersons The Devils Interval:

Impossible to put down. Sparkling dialogue, references both musical and literary, and an offbeat cast of believable characters make the pages fly by.
Library Journal, starred review
A fast-paced, intelligent tale of intrigue that will keep readers guessing until
the refreshing end.Publishers Weekly, starred review
Maggie Fiori, San Francisco magazine editor and amateur sleuth, gets a package
that leads her to investigate a family scandal going back to the Civil War. Why
was her great-g reat-g reat grandmother imprisoned for bigamy and espionage?
Was she a criminal or a hero? Did she support the Confederates or the Union?
Maggies husband, Michael, joins her on the trip to Oxford, Mississippi, to dig
deep and solve the mystery.
Combining an engaging contemporary mystery with a carefully researched
Civil War setting and nineteenth-century characters, The Spy on the Tennessee
Walker will appeal to Civil War and American history buffs as well as fans of modern mysteries and historical fiction.
Linda Lee Peterson is the author of two previous Maggie Fiori mysteries,
Edited to Death and The Devils Interval. She has also written several nonfiction
books, including The Stanford Century, On Flowers (Chronicle), and Linens and
Candles (HarperCollins), and has written for several national publications, including the Chicago Tribune. A longtime San Franciscan and an alumna of
Stanford University, Peterson now lives in Portland, Oregon.

Cultivating the Genius of Black Children
Strategies to Close the Achievement Gap in the Early Years
Debra Ren-Etta Sullivan, EdD
Provides the first practical, hands-on resource to help early childhood

educators create learning environments in which black children thrive.
There has been much attention given to the achievement gap between white and
minority students, especially African American children. Through research and
years of experience, Debra Ren-Etta Sullivan breaks down the cultural influences
on childrens learning styles and provides a practical approach to helping black
children thrive in the classroom.
For black children, which Sullivan defines as those of African descent, there is
a disconnect between learning preferences and learning environments that must
be bridged before the achievement gap can be closed. This hands-on resource is
filled with effective strategies and best practices to help early childhood educators
expand their toolbox for supporting children.
Increasing cultural intelligence will allow us to work across the many differences in our classrooms. As our schools become more diverse, cultural competency will be an increasingly important skill for teachers efficacy and childrens
success. By cultivating the individual genius of each child and meeting chidren
where they are today, we can invigorate the education system and provide children high-quality early education experiences.

What is quality, what does it look like, and how do we achieve it? This touching
and eye-opening documentary follows several early care and education professionals at an urban child care center over the course of a three-year improvement
initiative. Using a proven system, you see the low-quality center transform into
an educational opportunity for young children.
Research has shown that high-quality early learning programs set children
up for future success. These children are less likely to drop out of school, require
special education services, or be incarcerated. They are more likely to graduate
high school, pursue a higher degree, and be productive citizens. When we transform one center, we touch the lives of dozens of children, teachers, and the community they are a part of.
Beyond Babysitting shows all of us what it takes to improve the child care system and transform it into an early learning system we will all benefit from for
generations.
Available with closed captioning and English or Spanish subtitles.
Delaware Valley Association for the Education of Young Children is dedi
cated to bringing high-quality child care and education to children from birth
to age eight in southeastern Pennsylvania. With more than two thousand active
members, it is one of the largest NAEYC affiliates. The DVAEYC works to ensure
educational opportunity for every child through coaching of programs and providers on best practices and career development. Its membership acts as a strong
platform for advocating at the government level for improved investment in education and sheds a light on the education gap.

Enemy on the Euphrates
The Battle for Iraq, 19141921
Ian Rutledge
A gripping and fascinating account of the most serious

armed uprising against British rule in the twentieth century.
Material with acute relevance to the crisis now tearing Iraq to pieces.
The Independent
Rutledges account displays a novelists taste for intrigue, espionage, gunboat
diplomacy, personal hardship and murder.BBC History Magazine
[A] rare treasure that combines a fascinating account of important histori
cal events with penetrating geopolitical analysis.P rofessor Michael Klare,
Hampshire College, Amherst
In 1920 an Arab revolt came perilously close to inflicting a shattering defeat
upon the British Empires forces occupying Iraq after the Great War. A huge
peasant army besieged British garrisons and bombarded them with captured ar
tillery. British columns and armored trains were ambushed and destroyed, and
gunboats were captured or sunk. Britains quest for oil was one of the principal
reasons for its continuing occupation of Iraq. However, with around 131,000
Arabs in arms at the height of the conflict, the British were very nearly driven
out. Only a massive infusion of Indian troops prevented a humiliating rout.
Enemy on the Euphrates is the definitive account of the most serious armed
uprising against British rule in the twentieth century. Bringing central players
such as Winston Churchill, T. E. Lawrence, and Gertrude Bell vividly to life, Ian
Rutledges masterful account is a powerful reminder of how Britains imperial ob
jectives sowed the seeds of Iraqs tragic history.

John McManus writes visceral prose that explodes within the tight boundaries

John McManuss long awaited short story collection encompasses the geographic

establish McManus as one of the most bracing voices of our time.

You Should Pity Us Instead
Amy Gustine
This debut story collection explores love in its many guises

family, romance, friendshipthrough the lens of religion,
international conflict, and complicated relationships.
Amy Gustines You Should Pity Us Instead is a devastating, funny, and astonishingly frank collection of stories. Gustine can be brutally honest about the
murky calculations, secret dreams and suppressed malice to which most of us
never admit, not even to ourselves.K aren Russell
You Should Pity Us Instead is an unbroken spell from first story to last, despite
the enormous range of subjects and landscapes, sufferings and joys it explores.
L aura Kasischke
Amy Gustines stories cross impossible borders both physical and moral: a
mother looking for her kidnapped son sneaks into Gaza, an Ellis Island inspector mourning his lost love plays God at the boundary between old world and
new. Brave, essential, thrilling, each story in You Should Pity Us Instead takes us
to those places weve never dared visit before.Ben Stroud
You Should Pity Us Instead explores some of our toughest dilemmas: the cost of
Middle East strife at its most intimate level, the likelihood of God considered in
day-to-day terms, the moral stakes of family obligations, and the inescapable
fact of mortality. Amy Gustine exhibits an extraordinary generosity toward her
characters, instilling them with a thriving, vivid presence.
Amy Gustines short fiction has appeared in the Kenyon Review, North American
Review, Black Warrior Review, the Massachusetts Review, and many other places.
She lives in Ohio.

Love Game
A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime
to Global Phenomenon
Elizabeth Wilson
A comprehensive narrative history of the worlds
most international sport, from Victorian lawn tennis
to Andy Murrays Wimbledon 2013 triumph.
Hers is a sporting history unlike any Ive readone that, in its sophistication and
thoughtfulness, shows up the hollowness of most other accounts.The Observer
Tennis gladiatorial beauty, stylish duelling, and fashionable court-wear make it
a romantics dream. Ever since young men and women first came together to play
on vicarage lawns, this most Victorian of games has always had a peculiarly passionate undercurrentlove even makes it into the scoring system. And passion
is included in other formst he rivalry of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and
John McEnroes legendary angry outbursts.
Beyond the romance, tennis has always been a barometer of the times. French
star Suzanne Lenglen was a celebrity trailblazer, Jimmy Connors channeled punk,
and Wimbledons Henman Hill is unrecognizable from the days when the All
England Club ostracized working-c lass Fred Perrythe great English tennis
champion who is now more famous as a leisure clothing brand than a sportsman.
Love Game is the must-have companion for tennis fans during the 2015 US
Open. It tells the story of tennis journey from upper-m iddle-class hobby to global
TV spectacle, taking in the innovators and trendsetters, the great players, heroes,
and iconoclasts, and the politics, class wars, and culture clashes of what could
rightfully be called the beautiful game.
Elizabeth Wilson is currently visiting professor at the London College of Fashion
and is the author of several nonfiction books. Her novels The Twilight Hour, War
Damage, and The Girl in Berlin are also published by Serpents Tail.

The United States of Wind
A Journey by Chance into America
Daniel Canty
Translated by Oana Avasilichioaei
The United States of Wind documents a free-spirited journey through
the American Midwest and on to the woods of Pennsylvania.
I read this book as an essay, a method of thought. Canty doesnt propose so

much a theory of wind as a map of reflections on what emptiness holds, on what
the imperceptible space between us occupies. . . . The true object of this books
love, or quest, is not a weather phenomenon, but rather something more akin to
the American soul.Valrie Lefebvre-Faucher
Set the compass. Hoist the windsock. Ride where the wind wills it.
Mixing tropes of the road narrative, poetic fabulation, and philosophical memoir, The United States of Wind follows Daniel Canty, adventurer and wind seeker.
Aboard the Blue Rider, a venerable midnight-blue Ford Ranger capped with a
weather vane and a retractable windsock, he surrenders himself to the fluidity of
air currents. The adventure leads him and artist Patrick Beaulieu from the plains
of the Midwest up to Chicago, the Windy City, and then into the wind tunnel
linking the Great Lakes, and on through the lost industrial cities of the Rust Belt,
only to veer off into Amish pastoralia and the forests of Pennsylvania, Civil War
ground, where fracking is stirring up the ghosts of the first oil rush. Part travel
book and part fable, The United States of Wind is a book with winged feet, in which
the map of an invisible America slowly unfolds, sparkling with revelations.

In Certain Circles
Second Edition
Elizabeth Harrower
The internationally acclaimed novel by the award-winning author of

The Watch Tower. Now available for the first time in paperback.
Like a treasure from an unearthed time capsule.The Wall Street Journal

I cant recommend this brilliant, austere writer strongly enough. . . . Harrower
is funny and elegant and devastating.James Wood, The New Yorker
Subtle yet wounding, and very much alive.The Guardian
Harrower evokes the waste and futility of a decadent class with all the bite and
poignancy of F. Scott Fitzgerald.Eimear McBride, New Statesman
Harrower can pierce your heart.M ichael Dirda, The Washington Post
Zoe Howard is seventeen when her brother, Russell, introduces her to Stephen
Quayle. Aloof and harsh, Stephen is unlike anyone she has ever met. His sister,
Anna, is shy and thoughtful. Zoe and Russell, Stephen and Anna: they come from
different social worlds but the four of them will spend their lives moving in and
out of each others shadow. Set amid the lush gardens and grand stone houses of
Sydney Harbour, In Certain Circles is an intense psychological drama about family and love, tyranny, and freedom.
Elizabeth Harrower published only four novels in her short but brilliant career. This fifth novel was completed in 1971, but withdrawn from publication at
the last minute. The manuscript languished in the National Library of Australia
archives for forty years before Michael Heyward of Text Publishing was allowed
to read it. He knew immediately that it must be published. In Certain Circles has
been lauded internationally, and its publication coincides with a massive resurgence of interest in Harrowers work.

Ramona Kovals parents fled Poland and settled in Melbourne. As a child, Koval
learned little about their livesonly snippets from traumatic tales of destruction and escape. But she always suspected that the man who raised her was not
her biological father.
One day in the 1990s, long after her mothers death, she decided she must
know the truth. A phone call led to a photograph in the mail, then tea with
strangers. Before long Koval was interrogating a nursing-home patient, meeting
a horse whisperer in tropical Queensland, journeying to rural Poland, learning
other languages, and dealing with Kafkaesque bureaucracy, all in the hope of finding an answer.
A quest for identity recounted with Kovals customary humor, Bloodhound
takes hold of the reader and never lets go. It is a moving story of the terrible cost
of war and of family secrets.
Ramona Koval is a writer, journalist, broadcaster, and editor. From 2006 to
2011 she presented Radio Nationals Book Show, and she has written for the
Age and the Australian. In 1995, Ramona received the Order of Australia Media
Award for her work on Radio National.

Offered his freedom if he joins his master in the ranks of the Confederacy, Hero, a

be another empty promise. As his decision brings him face to face with a nation at
war with itself, the ones Hero left behind debate whether to escape or wait for his
return, only to discover that for Hero, freedom may have come at a great spiritual
cost. A devastatingly beautiful dramatic work, Father Comes Home from the Wars

Straight White Men
Young Jean Lee
An edgy new work on class and privilege
from one of our most adventurous playwrights.
Ms. Lees fascinating play . . . goes far beyond cheap satire, ultimately becoming
a compassionate and stimulating exploration of one mans existential crisis. . . .
She proves unexpectedly adept at strict naturalism. . . . [A] mournful and in
quisitive play.The New York Times
She sacrifices nothing; bodies, voices, jokes, food, tragedy, cities are all artistic
fodder, as are her various selves and the mirthful, bloody life of her imagination.
The New Yorker
Provocative playwright Young Jean Lee lends her shrewd perspective to this
atypical take on the family drama. A father and his three sons unite and unravel,
both aware of and undone by privilege and its pressure. When inherent social expectation conflicts with a desire to remain stagnant, the resulting identity confusion is new territory for the tight-knit family. Strikingly observant and curiously
drawn, Lee departs from her experimental style to create a naturalistic observation of the most socially unobstructed of our species, the straight white male.
Young Jean Lee has been hailed as one of the best experimental playwrights in
America by Time Out New York. She has written and directed nine shows in New
York with Young Jean Lees Theater Company and toured her work to over twenty
cities around the world. Her other plays include Were Gonna Die, Untitled Feminist
Show, The Shipment, Lear, and Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven. Awards include two Obies, the Festival Prize of the Zuercher Theater Spektakel, a Prize
in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim

Sotto Voce
Nilo Cruz
An exquisite new drama from the Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright

of Anna in the Tropics.
The poetry of Cruzs writing is what those who love his work cite most often
about his style, and Sotto Voce has that. Yet it also contains passages that are realistic, whimsical, sensual and heartbreaking. Cruz may be that rarity, a poet of the
stage, but he is first and foremost a dramatist.The Miami Herald
Ariel Strauss, a Jewish Cuban man, strives to explore his cultural history when he
encounters Bemadette Kahn, an older woman and famed novelist who seeks to
relive hers. Cruzs passionate romantic drama takes place in a dreamscape, somewhere between history and memory, present and past. Sotto Voce is a work of
dramatic poetry and an imaginative exploration of nostalgia and the ensuing
heartbreak it comes with.
Nilo Cruz was the first Latino playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama
for his play Anna in the Tropics. His other plays include Night Train to Bolina,
Dancing on her Knees, A Park in Our House, Two Sisters and a Piano, The Color of

When the champion of modern family drama takes on the genres patriarch, the
result is an energetic and vitalizing adaptation of one of Anton Chekhovs most

On the docks of late eighteenth-century Rhode Island, two runaway slaves find
love and a near-d rowned man. With a motley band of sailors, they plan a desperate and daring run to freedom. As the mysteries of their identities come to light,
painful truths about the past and present collide and flow into the next generation. Acclaimed playwright Naomi Wallaces newest work brings to life a group
of people whose stories have been erased from history. Told with lyricism and
power, The Liquid Plain was awarded the 2012 Horton Foote Prize for Promising
New American Play. This sweeping historical saga has enjoyed acclaimed runs at
Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the Signature Theatre in New York.

include In the Heart of America, Slaughter City, One Flea Spare, The Trestle at Pope
Lick Creek, Things of Dry Hours, The Fever Chart: Three Visions of the Middle East,
And I and Silence, The Hard Weather Boating Party , and The Liquid Plain. Awards

actors, generating meaningful revelations about tragedy in the contemporary
world. Craig Lucass topical and complex play is a remarkably funny, sharply

Prelude to a Kiss, Gods Heart, The Dying Gaul, Stranger, Prayer for My Enemy, The
Singing Forest, and the book for The Light in the Piazza (music and lyrics by Adam

Third Man Books

Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville, Tennessees Third Man Records was founded by musician Jack White in 2001. The physical
location opened in 2009 and quickly evolved from a music label into a complete in-house hub for art-
making and dream-chasing. Third Mans mission is to support the creation and distribution of any and every
form of expression, from music to poetry, fiction to film. In this spirit, Third Man Books was established
in 2014 to further explore the music of language.
Much like the identity of Third Man Records, Third Man Books will be based on adventure, bordering
on recklessness, yet bound by craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The press plans to print
contemporary poetry, literary fiction, photography, biography, and more. (There are even plans for a book
on baseball.)
Where some may believe such an approach disjointed, Third Man considers it natural. Theres a story to
all things, both small and grand. Consider TMRs series The Rise and Fall of Paramount Volume 12 which
recounts the forgotten story of Paramount Records from its origin as a Wisconsin chair manufacturer to
one of the most important recording labels in American culture, only to go bankrupt. When many believed
TMRs dedication to the project as borderline funny-farm, Third Man only saw it as necessary, and won a
Grammy award. The same ethos drives Third Mans involvement in the renaissance of vinyl records.
Third Man Books is excited to join a literary community that we wish to learn from and hope to add
something back. Third Man Records, Where Your Turntables Not Dead. Third Man Books, Where Your Page
Still Turns.

Janaka Stucky
Ex-mortician and two-time National Haiku Champion Janaka Stucky

writes fifty-four poems of heartbreak, ritual, and resurrection.
Stuckys verse has the power of the best East European poetssome of his
poems seem to be perfect, magnificent, and instantly anthologizable. He is a
forceful, cogent, incisive phrase-maker.Bill Knott
The yearning in these poems is awash in dense, spiritual sexuality buffeted by
time and the mishandling of promises and breakable bonds.apt

The Truth Is We Are Perfect is fifty-four lyrics of a man who discovered love for
his own destruction. It is a heartbreak that brings re-c reation. Passion, vulnera
bility, and strength are revealed as Janaka Stucky journeys into nothingness
and, consequently, into awareness. His style of minimalism and occult sensibilities make for a different sense of word that manifests his inner change. Consider these lines from The Art of Loss is a Lost Art: Because I love a burning
thing/ I made my heart a field of fire. Simply said, Stucky sacrifices himself to
become himself.
Janaka Stucky is the publisher of Black Ocean as well as the annual poetry
journal Handsome. He is the author of two chapbooks: Your Name Is The Only
Freedom, and The World Will Deny It For You. His poems have appeared in such
journals as Denver Quarterly, Fence, and North American Review, and his articles
have been published by the Huffington Post and the Poetry Foundation. He is a
two-t ime National Haiku Champion and in 2010 he was voted Bostons Best
Poet in the Boston Phoenix.

Hidden Water
From the Frank Stanford Archives
Frank Stanford
Edited by Michael Wiegers and Chet Weise
From the Frank Stanford archives:
unpublished poems, drafts, letters, and audio.
It is astounding to me that I was not even aware of this accomplished and moving poet. There is a great deal of pain on the poems, but it is a pain that makes
sense, a tragic pain whose meaning rises from the way the poems are so firmly
molded and formed from within.James Wright
Hidden Water: From the Frank Stanford Archives features a selection of un
published poems, facsimiles of typesheets, and handwrtten drafts, letters, and
extremely rare audio of Stanford reading. Edited by Michael Wiegers and Chet
Weise, Hidden Water complements Copper Canyon Presss definitive Frank
Stanford collection What About This and is a must for any lover of Stanford.

Born in 1948, Frank Stanford was a prolific poet known for his originality and
ingenuity. He has been dubbed a swamprat Rimbaud by Lorenzo Thomas and
one of the great voices of death by Franz Wright. He grew up in Mississippi,
Tennessee, and then Arkansas, where he lived for most of his life and wrote
many of his most powerful poems. Stanford died in 1978. He authored over
ten books of poetry, including eight volumes in the last seven years of his life.

Square Wave
Mark de Silva
A grand novel of ideas and a compelling crime mystery about security

states past and present, weather modification, and imperial influences.
Carl Stagg is a historian researching imperial influence in seventeenth-century

Sri Lanka, itself a security state, who makes a living as a watchman in a factionalized America where confidence in democracy has eroded. Along his nightly
patrol, Stagg finds a beaten prostitute, one in a series of monstrous attacks he
learns. Suspicious of his supervisors intentions, Stagg partners with a fellow
part-time watchman, Ravan, to seek the truth. Ravan hails from a family developing storm-d ispersal technologies, whose research is jointly funded by the
Indian and American governments.
The watchmens discoveries put a troubling complexion on Staggs research,
giving it new shape and impetus, just as the weather modification project begins
to appear less about dispersing storms than weaponizing them.
By gracefully considering the effect of a militarized state upon the personal
nature of its citizenry, as well as the study of microtonal music and weather modi
fication, Square Wave signals the triumphant arrival of a young writer certain to
be considered one of the most ambitious and intelligent of his generation.
Mark de Silva holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Cambridge.
He is an editor at Aeon Media, having earlier worked on the opinion pages of the
New York Times. His writing has appeared in the New Inquiry, the Paris Review
Daily, and the New York Times.

The Glacier
Jeff Wood
A brilliant and visceral cinematic novel

about authenticity and the American condition.
The Glacier is a spellbinding work of fiction that re-i magines the American frontier of the late-n ineties and early-aughts, a time when cookie-c utter developments
stamped the countryside beige.
Following a caterer at a convention center, a surveyor residing in a storage unit,
and the dazed and death-obsessed denizens of the burbs, The Glacier is a poetic
rendering of the pre-apocalypse.
Jeff Wood is an actor and writer from Ohio currently living in Brooklyn and
Berlin. He is a founding member of the experimental film/art group Rufus
Corporation and the Wallabout Oyster Theatre Brooklyn. His ten-year collabo
ration with Eve Sussman and Rufus Corporation has resulted in the works

Now a major motion picture starring Sarah Silverman in her dramatic-acting

debut, and Josh Charles, I Smile Back tells the affecting tale of Laney Brooks,
a mother and wife on a self-destructive streak. She takes the drugs she wants,
sleeps with the men she wants, disappears when she wants. Lurking beneath
Laneys seemingly composed surface is the impulse to follow in her fathers footsteps, to leave and topple her familys balance in the process.
The film adaptation of I Smile Back premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film
Festival in the prestigious US Dramatic competition. Silvermans affecting dramatic turn in the lead role has garnered praise in film trade reviews as tremendous, terrific, and awards worthy, and will inspire an onslaught of attention
upon the films national theatrical release.
Amy Koppelman is a graduate of Columbias MFA program. Her writing has appeared in the New York Observer and Lilith. She lives in New York City with her
husband and two children, and is the author of the novels A Mouthful of Air and
I Smile Back. She adapted the screenplay for the film from her own novel.

New Construction
Two More Stories
Sam Alden
The brand new collection from acclaimed

young cartoonist and animator Sam Alden.
Praise for Sam Aldens It Never Happened Again:

Aldens natural sense of framing and pace, his willingness to use silent panels to
tell stories, and his beautiful (yes, beautiful) pencil images combined to open my
eyes to a new idea of what a great comic can be. It helps that hes also an excellent
writerboth stories sketch out lonely, lost characters efficiently, and put them
each through very different quests for meaning.Dan Kois, Slate
Two thematically divergent, but devastatingly human portraits from an emerging cartoonist displaying the sort of storytelling and artistic restraint that often
only comes after years of toiling away at the drawing board. Alden is a talent to
watch.Publishers Weekly
A collection of two new stories from cartoonist and Adventure Time contributor
Sam Alden. In Household, a brother and sister deal with divergent memories of
their father and grow closer than ever. In Backyard, vegans and anarchists share
a house, small dramas, and bizarre transformations (featuring a new, never before
published ending). Designed as a companion volume for the critically acclaimed
It Never Happened Again, New Construction cements Sam Aldens reputation as
one of the best cartoonists of his generation.
Sam Alden was born in Portland, Oregon. His comic Haunter was included in Best
American Comics 2013, and he is the recipient of the Ignatz Awards for Promising
New Talent and Best Comic. He now lives and works as an illustrator, cartoonist,
and animator in Los Angeles.

The Deaths of Henry King
Jesse Ball and Brian Evenson
Illustrated by Lilli Carr
Henry King was found by his dog, who later ate him.
In The Deaths of Henry King, the hapless Henry King, as advertised, dies. Not
just once or even twice, but seven dozen times, each death making way for a
new demise, moving from the comic to the grim to the absurd to the transcendent and back again. With text by Jesse Ball and Brian Evenson complimented
by Lilli Carrs macabre, gravestone-r ubbing-style art, Henry Kings ends are
brought to a vividly absurd life.
Brian Evenson is the author of a dozen books of fiction, most recently the story
collection Windeye and the novel Immobility (both finalists for a Shirley Jackson
Award). His novel Last Days won the ALAs RUSA award for Best Horror Novel
of 2009. His novel The Open Curtain was a finalist for an Edgar Award and an
International Horror Guild Award. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where
he teaches in Brown Universitys literary arts department.

Selected Poems of John Wieners
John Wieners
Edited by Joshua Beckman, CAConrad, and Robert Dewhurst
A necessary selection of work, out-of-print
or never published, by a seminal mid-century poet.
There is no doubt in my mind or in anyones mind who knows these poems well
that they are major American poetry and will be in anthologies for one hundred
years, I mean that good.A llen Ginsberg
A graceful rigor seems to be Wienerss natural mode; we feel the force of delibera
tion in his most free formshe is never casual. The grace is miraculous, for he
aims at intensities, by orders that shape and then restrict feeling to the ardent.
R obert Duncan
What moves us is not the darkness of the world in which the poems were writ
ten by the pity and terror and joy that is beauty in the poems themselves. . . .
In Wieners the glamor is in the word-music itself.Denise Levertov
Supplication: Selected Poems of John Wieners gathers work by one of the most
significant poets of the Black Mountain and Beat generation. Includes poems
that have previously never been published, the full text of the 1958 edition of
his influential The Hotel Wentley Poems, plus facsimiles, notes, and collages by
Wieners. An invaluable collection for new and old fans.
John Wieners (19342002) was a founding member of the New American
poetry that flourished in America after the Second World War. Upon gradu
ating from Boston College in 1954, Wieners enrolled in the final class of Black
Mountain College. Following Black Mountains closure in 1956, he founded
the small magazine Measure (195762) and embarked on a peripatetic life, par
ticipating in poetry communities in Boston, San Francisco, New York, and
Buffalo throughout the late 1950s and 1960s, before settling at 44 Joy Street
on Beacon Hill in 1972. He is the author of seven collections of poetry, three
one-act plays, and numerous broadsides, pamphlets, uncollected poems, and
journals. Robert Creeley described Wieners as the greatest poet of emotion
of their time.

One Morning
Rebecca Wolff
A sharp new collection in response to a kaleidoscopic

modern culture by a defining poet of her generation.
[Wolffs poems] are stylistic and tonal shapeshifters. Hip, contemplative, and
dark and resistant to the hunky-dory, the New Agey, and the prescriptive, theyre
unnerving, funny, and occasionally subversive.Bookforum
Poet, novelist, and Fence Books founder Rebecca Wolffs internal monologue
made external in poetry is uncanny. Her musical and darkly funny fourth col
lection, One Morning, spans language, culture, art history, love, passion, grief,
consumerism, environmental devastation, and the ekphrastic experience of pop
and high culture. She experiments with torque, energy, narrativetwo steps
ahead of herself with the reader on her heels.

Illocality
Joseph Massey
Stunning imagery populates austere poems from

an emerging voice in contemporary poetry.
I find it refreshing and somehow also sobering to observe the way Massey sticks
so closely to the perceptual world. Like William Carlos Williams, he challenges
us to see the value in putting things in words.R ae Armantrout, American Poet
In distilled, acutely observed poems, Massey builds the world out of light
and shadow; he helps us see pattern and grid, the thinning sunlight. . . . You
cant call this nature poetry, but its a beautiful rendition of whats breathable.
Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
Joseph Massey composed Illocality in his first year in western Massachusetts.
Masseys austere landscapes channel the quiet shock, euphoria, and introspec
tion that come with reorientation to place. His language fights apathy with grace
and sensitivity. Here are poems with their eyes on seasons, plants, sunlight, and
animals, all the while looking for stability and the language to describe it.
From Parse:
The speed
at which sleeps
fogged dialogue withers
into the present
noun-scape
This rift valley
A volley of
seasonal beacons
Joseph Massey is the author of Areas of Fog (Shearsman Books, 2009), At the
Point (Shearsman Books, 2011), To Keep Time (Omnidawn, 2014), as well as thir
teen chapbooks and various limited-edition broadsides and folios. His work has
also appeared in many journals and magazines, including the Nation, A Public

Humanities Review, Quarterly West; and in the anthologies Visiting Dr. Williams:

Of Entirety Say the Sentence
Ernst Meister
Translated by Graham Foust and Samuel Frederick
Completes an informal trilogy by Ernst Meister,
one of the great lyric post-war German poets.
Like his subject matter Meisters writing is ominous, intangible and inescapable.
Publishers Weekly
The translators of Wallless Space were brave to take on Meisters dense and un
usual poetry, and so far their work has been excellent. . . . Foust and Frederick
have preserved the phonetic elements of Meisters verseassonance, alliteration,
rhyme, anaphoraw ithout sacrificing the poets distilled diction and powerfully
short dimeter and trimeter lines.Christopher Shannon, Words Without Borders
One of the last books by post-war German poet and Georg Bchner Prizewinner
Ernst Meisterand the third to be translated into English by poet Graham Foust
and scholar Samuel FrederickO f Entirety Say the Sentence is his most expan
sive book. With rich allusions to Friedrich Hlderlin and Paul Celan, these
poems are staggering in their scope of mortality, time, and infinity.

To Drink Boiled Snow
Caroline Knox
Caroline Knoxs ninth collection of poetry, an ever-surprising delight,
masterful in its dedication to play and experiment.
One might argue that nothing is sacred in Caroline Knoxs work, but it would
be truer to its spirit to say that everything is sacred herea nd all are welcome.
R ebecca Frank, Boston Review
Caroline Knox reminds us how whangy and interesting it all is.C.D. Wright
She is often obscure, but her allusions are as much a sign of camaraderie as of
scholarly pretension, her poems a pert crystallization impossible in more narra
tive poetry.The New Yorker
Caroline Knox once again demonstrates that she is a master at lyrical billiards,
sending all levels of diction in surprising and comedic directions. No subject
matter is off-l imits for her examination. Her vast range of experiment is exciting,
and the ensuing poems are games, dreams, and riddles. This collection is art on
the page for the eye and the ear.

of cheese, hors doeuvres of sandwich are manufactured

Caroline Knoxs most recent publications are Flemish (Wave Books, 2013), and
Nine Worthies (Wave Books, 2010). Quaker Guns (Wave Books, 2008) received
a Recommended Reading Award 2009 from the Massachusetts Center for the
Book. Six poems are anthologized in The Norton Anthology of Postmodern American
Poetry, Second Edition. She has received awards from the National Endowment

A Lucent Fire: New and Selected Poems
Patricia Spears Jones

Vibrant with the intensity of blues singers.Feminist Bookstore News

Patricia Spears Jones is cosmopolitan blues goddess alive on the wind stream
of transnational homemade intimate gossip. Her poems are a highly effective
antidote to living in a country where caring seems to have been placed on the
Endangered Activities list.David Rivard
Patricia Spears Jones reminds me of those wisecracking, foolproof women in the
old films she so lovingly dissectst he ones whose deadsure, replenishing humor
and never-fail good sense causes the audience to sit up and clap.Cyrus Cassells
She has given us a world where music and brains are allowed to co-exist with
instinct, where the lyric and the literal may dwell without eyeing the other with
suspicion. Cornelius Eady
From The Perfect Lipstick:
It is why I appreciate my favorite shade of lipstick:
Sherry Velour.
Sounds like the name of a drag queen from the early seventies.
One of those strapping Black men who had enough of playing macho,
put their feet in five-inch heels and made saints of Dinah Washington,
Rita Hayworth and a very young Nina Simone.
So, on goes this lipstick. Pretty for parties.
Fatal for festivals.
Sherry Velour and her hot discoveries:
light above the fog,
a toy ship.
Black men in sequined dresses and the click of new words
in the new world where the most dangerous of dreams
come true.

Tiger Fur
Salgado Maranho
Translated by Alexis Levitin
The wildly imaginative poems of Tiger Fur read like burning transcripts of one
possessed with the rare gift of pure poetry. The collection is a hymn to desire, and
to the ecstasy and pain of love, each poem aching with the yearning for connection. Its also a hymn to the imagination, and Maranhos love of linguistic play
and paradox makes these poems difficult to translate. Levitins finely nuanced, inspired renderings are, however, as wondrous as the originals. One cannot read this
collection without being marked, eyes ablaze and singed with the poets vision.

Compassion and Emptiness
in Early Buddhist Meditation
Bhikkhu Ana
layo
Exploring the meditative practices of compassion
and emptiness, Bhikkhu Ana
layo casts fresh light
on their earliest sources in the Buddhist tradition.
This book is the result of rigorous textual scholarship that can be valued not
only by the academic community, but also by Buddhist practitioners. This book
serves as an important bridge between those who wish to learn about Buddhist
thought and practice and those who wish to learn from it. . . . As a monk engaging himself in Buddhist meditation as well as a professor applying a historical-
critical methodology, Bhikkhu Anlayo is well positioned to bridge these two
communities. . . . Exploring the meditative practices of compassion and emptiness, Anlayo casts fresh light on their earliest sources in the Buddhist tradition.
17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje
Arising from the authors long-term, dedicated practice and study, this book provides a window into the depth and beauty of the Buddhas liberating teachings.
Serious meditation students will benefit tremendously from the clarity of understanding that Venerable Anlayos efforts have achieved.Sharon Salzberg
In this study, Venerable Anlayo brings a meticulous textual analysis of Pli
texts, the Chinese gamas and related material from Sanskrit and Tibetan to the
foundational topics of compassion and emptiness. While his analysis is grounded
in a scholarly approach, he has written this study as a helpful guide for meditation
practice.Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
Bhikkhu Anlayo completed a PhD on the Satipat.t.hna-sutta at the University
of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, in 2000, published in 2003 by Windhorse Publications
under the title Satipat.t.hna: The Direct Path to Realization. At present Anlayo is a
professor of Buddhist studies at the Sri Lanka International Academy in Pallekele.

Days When I Hide My Corpse
in a Cardboard Box
Selected Poems of Natalia Chan
Natalia Chan
Translated by Eleanor Goodman
Natalia Sui-hung Chan (pen name Lok Fung) explores the political, linguistic, and
cultural tensions of being both from Hong Kong and a feminist in her first major
bilingual collection in English. A prolific poet and critic, she writes in Cantonese,
sprinkling her work with pop culture references, and engaging directly with the
current turmoil in Hong Kong (and broader Chinese) politics and society, as
well as the shifting interventions with the international community. Chan is best
known for her award-w inning Chinese collection Flying Coffin. Her interests
include cultural and film theory, gender studies, popular culture, performance
studies, cross-d ressing, and fashion.

These nine stories span half a century of contemporary writing in Korea

(1970s2010s), bringing together some of the most famous twentieth-century
women writers with a new generation of young, bold voices. Their work explores a world not often seen in the West, taking us into the homes, families,
lives, and psyches of Korean women, men, and children.
In the earliest of the stories, Pak Wan-so, considered the elder stateswoman of contemporary Korean fiction, opens the door into two Identical
Apartments where sisters-in-law, bound as much by competition as love,
struggle to live with their noisy, extended families. O Chong-hui, who has been
compared to Joyce Carol Oates and Alice Munro, examines a day in the life of
a woman after she is released from a mental institution, while younger writers,
such as Kim Sagwa, Han Yujoo and Chon Un-yong, explore violence, biracial
childhood, and literary experimentation. These stories will sometimes disturb
and sometimes delight, as they illuminate complex issues in Korean life and
literature.
Internationally acclaimed translators Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton have won
several awards and fellowships for the numerous works of Korean literature
they have translated into English.
Featuring these authors and stories: Pak Wan-so: Identical Apartments;
Kim Chi-won: Almaden; So Yong-u n: Dear Distant Love; O Chong-hui:
Wayfarer; Kong Son-ok: The Flowering of Our Lives; Kim Ae-ran: The
Future of Silence; Han Yujoo: I Am the ScribeOr Am I; Kim Sagwa: Today
Is One of Those The-More-You-Move-the-Stranger-It-Gets Days, and Its Simply
Amazing; Chon Un-yong: Ali Skips Rope.
