Powerpaola
Powerpaolas North American debut traces the lives of young women

during Columbias violent drug cartel warfare era of the 1980s and 90s.
Powerpaola has a gift for expressing an entire world with a thin black line, build
ing up textures and details that are a joy to get lost in. In Virus Tropical, her memo
ries of a unique family life are so vividly portrayed that you feel like you are
living through all the laughter, joy, tears and door-slamming right along with

Powerpaolas Virus Tropical uses a series of vignettes to transform the simplicity of

middle-class family life into a thought-provoking narrative that would have been
inconceivable prior to Columbias sexual revolution. Focusing on the lives of a
family of women in the eighties through the nineties, Powerpaolas tale highlights
the excitement, danger, and struggles of a country in the midst of radical change.
Powerpaola was born in 1977 in Quito, Ecuador, and, at a young age, she moved
to Medelln, Colombia, where she adopted the name Powerpaola. She founded
a collective space of expression, Taller 7, and was granted a scholarship to de
velop her art in La Cit Internationale des Arts in Paris, where she lived for two
years. She is currently writing a sequel to Virus Tropical and lives in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, with her husband.

Turning Japanese
MariNaomi
MariNaomis newest graphic novel tours the mid-nineties

United States and Japanese illegal hostess bar scene
and her own personal cultural awakening.
The best comic about being Asian American in Japan. Like Fun Home and
Persepolis, Turning Japanese is at once modest and grand. MariNaomi is a mas
ter of the small, intimate moments that build to a surprisingly emotional climax.
Jason Shiga, Ignatz and Eisner Awardwinner
In Turning Japanese, Maris unflinching honesty, open heart, and hard-earned
wisdom challenges us to embrace the unexpected detours that unfold in our own
lives.Yumi Sakugawa, author of Your Illustrated Guide to Becoming One with
the Universe
In 1995, twenty-two-year-old Mari had just exited a long-term relationship,
moving from Mill Valley to San Jose, California. Soon enough, she falls in love,
then finds employment at a hostess bar for Japanese expats, where she is deter
mined to learn the Japanese language and culture. Turning Japanese is a story
about otherness, culture clashes, generation gaps, and youthful impetuosity.
MariNaomi is the author and illustrator of the SPACE Prize-w inning graphic
memoir Kiss & Tell: A Romantic Resume, Ages 0 to 22 (Harper Perennial,
2011), the Eisner-nominated Dragons Breath and Other True Stories (2dcloud/
Uncivilized Books, 2014), and her self-published Estrus Comics (1998 to 2009).
Her work has appeared in over sixty print anthologies, and has been featured on
such websites as the Rumpus, the Weeklings, Los Angeles Review of Books, Midnight
Breakfast, Truthout, XOJane, Buzzfeed, Bitch Media, and more. Maris work on the
Rumpus won a SPACE Prize and an honorable mention in Houghton Mifflins
Best American Comics 2013.

Len, A Lawyer in History
A Graphic Biography of Radical Attorney Leonard Weinglass
Written and Illustrated by Seth Tobocman

Edited by Paul Buhle and Michael Steven Smith
He made a career of defending extreme acts against extreme power.
I would say he was the best courtroom lawyer Ive known in my lifetime, and Ive
known a lot of them.Tom Hayden
He wasnt drawn to making money. He was drawn to defending justice. He felt
in many cases he was representing one person standing against the state. He was
on the side of the underdog.Daniel Ellsberg
For half a century, criminal defense lawyer Leonard Weinglass defended a Whos
Who of the twentieth-century left in some of Americas most spectacular trials.
The typical call I get is one that starts by saying, Youre the fifth attorney weve
called, he once said. Then I get interested. Those calls came from the likes of
the SDS, the Chicago Seven, Daniel Ellsberg, Abbie Hoffman, and Mumia AbuJamal, among many others.
In a field dominated by egomaniacs, Weinglass was known for his humility,
his common touch, his ability to work collectively, his kindness, and his attention to detail. This long-overdue biography captures the vibrant life and inspiring legacy of an American iconoclast.
Seth Tobocman is an author/illustrator and one of the founding editors of World
War 3 Illustrated.
Paul Buhle is the editor of a dozen comic art books along with many scholarly
works, including the authorized biography of C.L.R. James.
Michael Steven Smith is the executor of Leonard Weinglasss estate and co-
editor of Imagine: Living In a Socialist USA.

Taking Sides
Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism
Edited by Cindy Milstein

Taking Sides is more than a book; its a politic aimed at the heart of every radical
struggling against a racist state.Luis A. Fernandez, author of Policing Dissent
Taking Sides is a critical response to divisive debates within current movements
against police violence and white supremacy, especially since Michael Browns
murder. These sharp interventions ask activists to avoid easyand safeanswers
and take on the hard work of building real grassroots solidarity across racial lines.

Keywords for Radicals
The Contested Vocabulary of Late Capitalist Struggle
Edited by Kelly Fritsch, Clare OConnor,

and A.K. Thompson
Contributions by Joy James and Sylvia Federici
Behind every word lies a history.
An extraordinary volume that provides nothing less than a detailed cognitive

mapping of the terrain for everyone who wants to engage in radical politics.
Slavoj iek, author of Living in the End Times
From its thought-provoking Introduction though its energizing accounts of the
tensions underlying our most prized concepts, Keywords for Radicals will be indispensable to any scholar or activist who is serious about critique and change.
Stephen Duncombe, editor of Cultural Resistance Reader
In Keywords (1976), Raymond Williams devised a vocabulary that reflected
the vast social transformations of the post-war period. He revealed how these
transformations could be grasped by investigating changes in word usage and
meaning. Keywords for Radicalspart homage, part developmentasks: What
vocabulary might illuminate the social transformations marking our own contested present? How do these words define the imaginary of todays radical left?
With insights from dozens of scholars and troublemakers, Keywords for
Radicals explores the words that shape our political landscape. Each entry highlights a terms contested variations, traces its evolving usage, and speculates about
what its historical mutations can tell us. More than a glossary, this is a crucial
study of the power of language and the social contradictions hidden within it.
Contributors include Patrick Bond, Silvia Federici, John Bellamy Foster, Joy
James, Ilan Papp, Justin Podur, Nina Power, Mab Segrest, and more.

Against the Fascist Creep

US society is notoriously complacent when it comes to the rise of fascist tendencies. When Dylann Roof murdered nine black parishioners in a Charleston
church, media emphasis remained superficial. Familiar narratives of insane lone
wolves and Confederate flags masked the organizations that inspired Roof s act
and their connections to politicians at the local, state, and federal levels throughout the Southg roups like the Council of Conservative Citizens (formerly the
White Citizens Council).
Scratch the surface of such groups and youll find a web of complex ties and
front groups created by fascist ideologues. Trace the connections further and
further back and you find yourself moving from semi-respectable organizations
through darker and darker levels of fascism and hatred.
Fascism is not a euphemism here. A terrifying tour of the history and influence of international neo-fascists, Against the Fascist Creep maps the connections
and names the names, showing how infiltration is a conscious and secret program for white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups. Their activity has exploded since
the economic crisis and they have stepped up efforts to influence both mainstream and radical groups, including anarchists.
This book is a line in the sand that both identifies the creep of fascist messages,
ideas, and organization throughout our society and outlines how to stop it in its
tracks.

My Memories of Sam Dolgoff
Anatole Dolgoff
A sons warm and riotous tribute to his father

and the lost world of working-class radicalism.
He was a man of perfect consistency. He was the spirit of freedom in its left-
wing form. He was the beating heart of the truest American radicalism.
Paul Berman, the Village Voice
Sam Dolgoff, a house painter by trade, was at the center of American anarchism
for seventy years. His political voyage began in the 1920s when he joined the
Industrial Workers of the World. He rode the rails as an itinerant laborer, bedding down in hobo camps and mounting soapboxes in cities across the United
States. Self-educated, he translated, edited, and wrote some of the most important books and journals of twentieth-century anti-authoritarian politics, including the most widely read collection of Mikhail Bakunins writings in English.
His story, told with passion and humor by his son, conjures images of a lost
New York Cityt he Lower East Side, the strong immigrant and working-class
neighborhoods, the blurred lines dividing proletarian and intellectual culture, the
union halls and social clubs, the brutal cops and bosses, and the solidarity that
kept them at bay.
An instant classic of radical history, this biography is written by a man now
in his seventies who, as a child and young man, had a front-row seat to the world
of proletarian politics and the colorful characters who brought it to life.
Anatole Dolgoff is the son of Esther and Sam Dolgoff, two of the most important
anarchists in the United States in the twentieth century. He has lived in New York
City his entire life and teaches geology at the Pratt Institute.

A Journey through American Revolutions
Clifton Ross
A riveting personal memoir that shares hard-earned political insights. Rosss journey mirrors that of the post-war American left. From an Anabaptist hippie commune in the 1960s to the present-day failures of the Venezuelan revolution, he
charts a trajectory of good intentions and poor choices, of blind faith in charismatic leaders followed by inevitable disillusionment and, ultimately, a solid belief
in the ability of ordinary people to make history.

Born of a rigorous criticism of the toxicity of the economic system, this collection

The Book of Harlan
Bernice L. McFadden
DuringWorld War II, two African American musicians are captured by the
Nazis in Parisand imprisoned at the Buchenwald concentration camp.
McFadden works a kind of miraclenot only do her characters retain their appealing humanity; their story eclipses the bonds of history to offer continuous
surprises. . . . Beautiful and evocative.Jesmyn Ward, New York Times Book Review
(Editors Choice), on Gathering of Waters
Read it aloud. Hire a chorus to chant it to you and anyone else interested in hearing about civil rights and uncivil desires.A lan Cheuse, All Things Considered
(NPR), on Gathering of Waters
The Book of Harlan opens with the courtship of Harlans parents and his 1917
birth in Macon, Georgia. After his prominent minister grandfather dies, Harlan
and his parents move to Harlem, where he becomes a musician. Soon, Harlan
and his best friend, trumpeter Lizard Robbins, are lured across the Atlantic
Ocean to perform at a popular cabaret in the Parisian enclave of Montmartre
affectionately referred to as The Harlem of Paris by black American musicians.
When the City of Light falls under Nazi occupation, Harlan and Lizard
are thrown into Buchenwald, the notorious concentration camp in Weimar,
Germany. The experience irreparably changes the course of Harlans life. Based
on exhaustive research and told in McFaddens mesmeric prose, The Book of
Harlan skillfully blends the stories of McFaddens familial ancestors with those
of real and imagined characters.
Bernice L. McFadden is the author of nine critically acclaimed novels including
Sugar, Loving Donovan, Gathering of Waters (a New York Times Editors Choice
and one of the 100 Notable Books of 2012), and Glorious, which was featured in

In the spring of 1974, as the last American troops were being pulled out of
Vietnam, Ron Kovic and a crew of other severely injured veterans in a California
VA hospital launched the American Veterans Movement. In a phenomenal feat of
political organizing, Kovic corralled his fellow AVM members into staging a siti n, and then a hunger strike, in the Los Angeles office of Senator Alan Cranston,
demanding better treatment of injured and disabled veterans.
This was a short-l ived and chaotic but ultimately successful movement to improve the deplorable conditions in VA hospitals across the country. Hurricane
Street is their storyone that resonates deeply todaytold by Kovic in the passionate and brutally honest style that led to over one million sales of Born on the
Fourth of July.
Ron Kovic served two tours of duty during the Vietnam War. He was paralyzed
from his chest down in combat in 1968 and has been in a wheelchair ever since.
Along with Oliver Stone, Kovic was the co-screenwriter of the 1989 Academy
Awardwinning film based on Kovics best-selling memoir Born on the Fourth of

Chasing Water
Elegy of an Olympian
Anthony Ervin and Constantine Markides
In advance of the 2016 Olympics, Akashic launches

a new sports imprint, curated by Dave Zinn, with a
dramatic memoir by an Olympic gold-medalist.
The timing for Chasing Water couldnt be better. The 2016 Olympics approach as
the surge of national interest in swimming grows, and with it a desire to be captivated by its stars. This book tells the dramatic, surprising, and sometimes provocative path that Anthony Ervin has taken to become one of those captivating
Olympic heroes.
Ervin won a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympic games at the age of nineteen. He is an athlete branded with a slew of titles including being the first United
States Olympic swimmer of African American descent, along with Jewish heritage, who also grew up with Tourettes syndrome. He shocked the sporting world
by retiring soon after claiming two world titles following the 2000 Olympics. But
Ervin resurfaced in 2012 to not only make the US Olympic team twelve years after
his first appearance, but to continue his career by swimming faster than ever before, and faster than anyone else.
Anthony Ervin is an Olympic gold medalist unlike anyone the world has ever
seen. Currently the fastest American swimmer, claiming the most recent national
title in the mens fifty-meter freestyle, Ervin did so while also being the oldest athlete competing at the meet.
Constantine Markides is a New Yorkbased swim trainer and former correspondent for the international daily newspaper Cyprus Mail. In covering the
2006 Lebanon War, he worked with CNNs Anderson Cooper and was also featured on CBC and NPRs Marketplace. His essays and fiction have been published in various magazines and journals, including Rolling Stone. A high school
state champion swimmer, Markides also swam for Columbia University.

All Waiting Is Long opens in 1926, twelve years after the close of Sing in the
Morning, Cry at Night, and continues the story of the Morgan sisters, a study in
contrasts. Twenty-fi ve-year-old Violet accompanies her sixteen-year-old sister
Lily to the Good Shepherd Infant Asylum, so Lily can deliver her illegitimate
child in secret. Mother Mary Joseph, who runs the Good Shepherd, has no
idea that the asylums physician, Dr. Peters, is involved in the eugenics movement and is experimenting on the girls with various sterilization techniques.
A month later, Dr. Peters sterilizes Lily after delivering her baby girl.
As the eugenics movement gains momentum in America, Dr. Peters becomes
a minor celebrity. After one of his speeches in Scranton, Lily, who has begun to
figure out why shes never been able to get pregnant again, follows him to his
hotel with pistol in tow. A violent incident ensues, though not at Lilys hand, and
in the end, Lily and Violet both risk losing their husbands, their children, and
each other to do what they think is right.

The Mastermind
David Unger
Based on a true, ripped-from-the-headlines story, The Mastermind
is a voyage into the noir heart of present-day Guatemala.
Swaggering, visceral, and sharply astute, The Mastermind is a riveting account

of one mans high-stakes journey to self-reckoning.Cristina Garca, author of
King of Cuba
Unger has taken one of the strangest, most sinister affairs in Guatemalan history
and, through the power of his imagination and mastery of his art, made it even
stranger, richer, disturbingly more human, and universal.Francisco Goldman,
author of The Interior Circuit
By all appearances, Guillermo Rosensweig is the epitome of success. He is a member of the Guatemalan elite, runs a successful law practice, and has a wife and
kids and a string of gorgeous lovers. Then one day he crosses paths with Maryam,
a Lebanese beauty with whom he falls desperately in love . . . to the point that
when he loses her, he sees no other option than to orchestrate his own death.
The Mastermind is based on the bizarre real-life story of Rodrigo Rosenberg,
a Guatemalan attorney who, in 2009, planned his own assassination after leaving
behind a video accusing Guatemalan president lvaro Colom of his murder. (In
April 2011, the New Yorker published an article by David Grann about Rosenberg
which has been optioned by Matt Damon for his directorial debut.) This is a fascinating depiction of modern-day Guatemala and the corrupt, criminal, and threatening reality that permeates its society.
Guatemalan-born novelist David Unger was awarded his countrys Miguel ngel
Asturias National Prize in Literature for 2014, despite writing exclusively in
English. He is the author of the novels The Price of Escape and Life in the Damn
Tropics. His short stories and essays have appeared in Words Without Borders,
Guernica, KGBBarLit, and Playboy Mexico. He has translated fourteen books
from Spanish into English. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Peter Ducksworth, a Trinidadian widower of English ancestry, retires to Barbados, believing he will find an earthly paradise there. He decides to divide his land
among his three daughters while he is alive, his intention not unlike that of King
Lears, who hoped, That future strife / May be prevented now. But Lear made the
fatal mistake of confusing flattery with love, and so does Ducksworth. Feeling
snubbed by his youngest daughter, Ducksworth decides that only after he dies will
she receive her portion of the land. In the meantime, he gives his two older daughters their portions, ironically setting in motion the very strife he hoped to prevent.
Beautifully written in elegant prose, this is a novel about greed, resentment,
jealousy, betrayal, and romantic love, through which Nunez weaves themes of
racism and classism in the postcolonial world of the Caribbean, giving us a diverse cast of characters of African, Indian, Chinese, Syrian/Lebanese, and
English ancestry.
Elizabeth Nunez is the award-w inning author of eight novels and a memoir.
Both Boundaries and Anna In-Between were New York Times Editors Choices.
Anna In-Between won the 2010 PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Award and was
long-listed for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Nunez also
received the 2011 Writers for Writers Award from Poets & Writers and Barnes
& Noble, and a NALIS Lifetime Literary Award from the Trinidad & Tobago
National Library. She is a distinguished professor at Hunter College, CUNY,
where she teaches fiction writing.

Native Believer
Ali Eteraz
The long-awaited debut novel from acclaimed author Ali Eteraz;

a darkly comic, provocative, and insightful vision of the
contemporary American experience.
A gifted writer and scholar, Eteraz is able to create a true-life Islamic bildungs
roman as he effortlessly conveys his coming-of-age tale while educating the
reader. . . . His catharsis transcends the page.P ublishers Weekly on Children
of Dust
Ali Eterazs much-anticipated debut novel is the story of M., a millennial dandy,
lapsed believer, aesthete, and second-generation immigrant who wants nothing
more than to bring children into the world as full-fledged Americans. As M.s
world gradually fragments around himh is military-contractor wife refuses to
start a family because of a debilitating illness, he is abandoned by his best friend
and mentor, and he loses his respectable job at an ad agency after a politically
charged confrontation with his bossM . spins out into the pulsating underbelly of Philadelphia, where he encounters other young men and women grappling with fallout from the War on Terror.
Among the pornographers and converts to Islam, punks, and wrestlers, M.
reconstitutes himself, and vows never again to face the specter of degradation
and humiliation as a second-c lass citizen. Darkly comic, provocative, and insightful, Native Believer is a startling vision of the contemporary American experience and the human capacity to shape identity and belonging at all costs.
Ali Eteraz is based at the San Francisco Writers Grotto. He is the author of the
coming-of-age memoir Children of Dust (HarperCollins) and the surrealist
short story collection Falsipedies & Fibsiennes (Guernica Ed.). Eterazs short

and his nonfiction has been highlighted by NPR, the New York Times, and the
Guardian. Recently, Eteraz received the 3 Quarks Daily Arts & Literature Prize
judged by Mohsin Hamid, and served as a consultant to the artist Jenny Holzer
on a permanent art installation in Qatar.

Necropolis
Avtar Singh
A gorgeously written and tightly plotted mystery novel that brings

the city of Delhi alive, in ways both enchanting and provocative.
Necropolis is a ravishing beauty of prose that is as sumptuous as it is gripping. . . . Imagine a cocktail of V.S. Naipaul, Agatha Christie, Elmore Leonard, and
E.M. Forster, and you have the essence of this haunting and ferociously charming
novel.Ken Bruen, author of Green Hell
Avtar Singhs Necropolis is an ode to ancient, medieval, and Old Delhi, a romantic ballad that cuts across time, if not place, and melds features of classic detective
fiction with those of the hard-boiled and roman noir in a style that is exquisitely

Necropolis follows Sajan Dayal, a detective in pursuit of a serial (though non

lethal) collector of fingers. Dayals team encounters would-be vampires and
werewolves, and a woman named Razia who may or may not be centuries old.
Guided by Singhs gorgeous and masterful writing, the novel peels back layers
of a city in thrall to its past, hostage to its present, and bitterly divided as to its
future. Delhi went from being an imperial capital to provincial backwater in a
few centuries: the journey back to exploding commercial metropolis has been
compressed into a few short decades. This book tackles the questions of origin,
ownership, and class that such a revolution inevitably raises.
Combining elements of crime, fantasy, and noir, Necropolis examines the
human condition with gorgeous prose and, at the same time, is a portrait of the
city that so devastates and defines modern India. The world of Delhi, the sweep
of its historyits grandeur, grimness, and criminalitya ll of it comes alive in
Necropolis.
Avtar Singh is the author of The Beauty of These Present Things as well as a con
tributor to Mumbai Noir. He has worked as a magazine editor in Mumbai and
Delhi. He lives in Delhi with his wife, son, and singing dog.

South Haven
Hirsh Sawhney
Grief, violence, and history collide to offer a radical look

at childhood and migration in suburban New England.
South Haven is the story of young Siddharth Arora, who is floundering in a fog of
solitude after his mothers tragic death in a car accident. As Siddharth and his forlorn father Mohan Lal seek temporary distraction from their sadness, unresolved
feelings of grief send them down destructive paths. Mohan Lal begins to embrace the burgeoning right-w ing Hindu politics of his homeland, cheering on
Indian fanatics who murder innocent Muslims. In an uncanny reflection of his
fathers politics, Siddharth gravitates toward a group of brutish adolescent bullies who commit local acts of cruelty. In South Haven, grief, violence, and history
collide to offer an unflinching look at the murky underside of migration and the
American suburbs.
South Haven is no simple coming-of-age tale or heros journeyblurring the
line between victim and victimizer, it asks readers to contend with the lies we
tell ourselves as we grieve and survive. Following in the tradition of narratives by
Edwidge Danticat and Junot Daz, Sawhney draws upon the measured lyricism of
postcolonial writers like Michael Ondaatje but brings to his subjects distinctly
American irreverence and wit.
Hirsh Sawhneys writing has appeared in the New York Times Book Review, the
Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, the Financial Times, Outlook, and numerous other periodicals. He is the editor of Delhi Noir, a critically acclaimed anthology of original fiction, and is an advisory editor at Wasafiri, a London-based
journal of postcolonial literature. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut, and
teaches at Wesleyan University.

The Big Book of Exit Strategies
Jamaal May
NAACP Image Award finalist Jamaal May exposes a fractured self

and the violent acts blindly accepted as part of being alive.
Praise for Jamaal May:

Linguistically acrobatic [and] beautifully crafted. . . . [Jamaal Mays] poems,
exquisitely balanced by a sharp intelligence mixed with earnestness, makes his
debut a marvel.Publishers Weekly
Following Jamaal Mays award-winning debut collection, Hum (2013), these
new poems explore parallel landscapes of the poets interior and an insidious
American condition. Using dark humor that helps illuminate the pains of maturity and loss of imagination, May uncovers language like a skilled architect
digging up bones of the past to expose what lies beneath the surface of the fragile
human condition.
From Ask Where Ive Been:
Ask about the tornado of fists.
The blows landed. If you can
watch it allthe spit and blood frozen
against snow, you can probably tell
I am the too-narrow road winding out
of a crooked city built of laughter,
abandon, feathers and drums.
Ask only if you can watch streetlights bow,
bridges arc, and power lines sag,
and still believe what matters most
is not where I bend
but where I am growing.
Jamaal May is a poet, editor, and filmmaker from Detroit, Michigan, where he
taught poetry in public schools and worked as a freelance audio engineer and
touring performer. His poetry won the 2013 Indiana Review Poetry Prize and
appears in journals such as Poetry, Ploughshares, the Believer, NER, and the
Kenyon Review. May has earned an MFA from Warren Wilson College as well
as fellowships from Cave Canem and The Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell
University. He founded the Organic Weapon Arts Chapbook Press.

play dead
francine j. harris
Identity, gender, and race politics all collide ferociously in this unflinching
collection that actively cuts through cultural and social constructs.
This book talks smack. This book chews with its open mouth full of the juiciest
words, the most indigestible images. This book undoes me. . . . francine j. harris
brilliantly ransacks the poets toolkit, assembling art from buckets of disaster and
shreds of hope. Nothing she lays her minds eye on escapes. You, too, will be captured by her work.Evie Shockley
Lyrically raw and dangerously unapologetic, play dead challenges us to look at
our cultivated selves as products of circumstance and attempts to piece together
patterns amidst dissociative chaos. harris unearths a ruptured world dictated by
violencea place of deadly what ifs, where survival hangs by a thread. Getting
by is carrying bruises and walking around with half a skull.

Driving Without a License
Janine Joseph
This debut grapples with the secrecy of living undocumented

in America, informing identity and a sense of belonging.
Janine Joseph writes with an open and easy intimacy. The language here is at once
disruptive and familiar, political and sensual, and tinged by the melancholy of loss
and the discomforting radiance of redemption. A strong debut.Chris Abani
The best way to hide is in plain sight. In this politically-charged and candid debut,
we follow the chronicles of an illegal immigrant speaker over a twenty-year span as
she grows up in the foreign and forbidding landscape of America.
From Ivan, Always Hiding:
I strained for the socket

my bare legs against your legs
in the windowless dark. The room,
snuffed out,
could have been no
larger than a freight car,
no smaller than a box van;

Let me warn you in advance that if you are going to read Tsurumis books, your
dream-life will probably never be quite the same again.Hannah Means-Shannon,
Bleeding Cool
Tsurumis comics deftly combine stunningly beautiful imagery with wildly funny
commentary about life as she observes it. The result is a comic style that somehow manages to be ridiculous and sublime, combined with a sense of humor
that is both silly and wry. Tsurumis comics cover topics as diverse as poodles,
brassieres, sports fans, pie, the Civil War, and how to swim.

At The Shore
Jim Campbell
A group of art students head to the shore,

but something sinister is hiding beneath the incoming waves.
The resulting mesh of conflicting tones and genre bending is delightfully un

predictable and off-k ilter, and makes a really fun read. Without being overly
saccharine or excessively twee, At the Shore is, without a doubt, the most charming zombie comic on the market today. Its rewarding read for those of us who
enjoy low-key humor and oddball horror.Harris Smith, ComiXology
Bernard, Dean, and Jorge look forward to some serious Frisbee-tossing and are
psyched when Astrid shows up to swim, but Gabi is so freaked out she doesnt
want to leave the car. Why is Gabi demanding they head home before dark? Maybe
if anyone paid attention to her childhood tales of seaweed harvesting, theyd know
something lurks beneath the waves.

Plagued by the literary salon that bumps about his lobby, haunted by the
self-pitying ghost of a neglected artist, this is one old man who cant help but

Yves Saint Laurent Coloring Book
Fondation Pierre Berg Yves Saint Laurent
A coloring book for adults (and others) that playfully invites participants
to explore the creative fantasies of Yves Saint Laurent.
Adult coloring books (such as Secret Garden) have exploded in popularity in recent years, embraced for their calming, therapeutic effect. This elegant, imaginative coloring book explores the dynamic, fanciful creations of iconic fashion
designer Yves Saint Laurent, who headed the House of Dior at the age of twenty-
one before launching his own design house at age twenty-five. He became famous
for the beatnik look in the sixties, as well as creating the tuxedo suit for women,
and his colorful life was the subject of a recent feature film, Saint Laurent.
The books line drawings for coloring are based on many of the designers
original sketches for dresses over the years, accompanied by full-color photographs of original dresses for reference. In these pages, one can see the breadth
and versatility of his creations; there are designs inspired by harlequins and the
Carnival of Venice, Pop Art and Mondrian, and the cultures of Asia, Africa, and
beyond. Colorists will in turn be inspired to match St. Laurents vivid creations,
or to create chic new color combinations of their own.
The Yves Saint Laurent Coloring Book is for fashionistas, coloring book enthusiasts, and others with an interest in the history of fashion and in the life of this extraordinary designer.
Full-color throughout.
This book is produced in conjunction with the Fondation Pierre Berg-Yves
Saint Laurent, dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of the House of

In this lavish coloring book for adults, the fanciful, elegant world of artist/
playwright/filmmaker Jean Cocteau comes alive. As a playwright, he is best
known for The Human Voice (1930); as a filmmaker, for directing Beauty and the
Beast (1946) and Orpheus (1948). In the 1910s, he was a prominent member of
the Paris avant-garde, forming friendships and professional relationships with
Picasso, Stravinsky, Gide, Proust, and Apollinaire. His paintings and graphic art
were playful, avant-garde expressions, exploring mythological themes and subjects, personal portraits, and domestic scenes.
This book includes many of Cocteaus graphic drawings ready to be colored
in, alongside original illustrations for reference. It also includes images from
the original film poster for Beauty and the Beast, playful doodles that Cocteau
included in written letters to his lover Jean Marais, and drawings of Parisian
women, cats, sleeping figures, circus performers, and other figures emanating
from Cocteaus imagination.
The Jean Cocteau Coloring Book is a captivating activity book for adults that
also serves as a primer on the work of this inspiring artist.
Full-color throughout.
This book is produced in conjunction with the Jean Cocteau Committee,

Thicker Than Blood
Adoptive Parenting in the Modern World
Marion Crook
A book that explores the nuances and challenges

of being an adoptive parent in North America.
The act of adopting children, and the processes and politics around it, have
changed drastically in recent decades, mostly for the better. Still, many prospective adoptive parents remain bewildered or apprehensive, and those who have
adopted find themselves struggling in ways they hadnt anticipated.
Thicker Than Blood is a comprehensive yet down-to-earth look at adoptive parenting in the twenty-fi rst century. Author Marion Crooks family includes two adopted sons; in her experience, adoptive parents need to acquire skills, knowledge,
and a good sense of humor in order to deal with the emotional upheavals of raising adopted children.
The book looks at all facets of adoption, including its dark history over the past
one hundred years when it was seen as a lower-class option for desperate parents,
or when children were taken from single mothers against their will. Today, adoption is much more open-m indedLGBT adoptive parents and adoptive single
parents are now commonplaceyet challenges linger, from adoptive children
suffering from PTSD to those dealing with issues of anger and abandonment.
Crook gently takes adoptive parents through the process of adoption from childhood to adulthood, helping to demystify the experience with compassion and
reassurance.
Meticulously researched but refreshingly free of academic jargon, Thicker
Than Blood will enlighten and empower adoptive parents and those who work
with adopted children alike.
Marion Crook is the author of twenty-one previous books which include novels and nonfiction for both adults and young people, on such subjects as womens
health, teen suicide, and body image.

Good Girls Marry Doctors
South Asian American Daughters on Obedience and Rebellion
Edited by Piyali Bhattacharya
Good Girls Marry Doctors is the first anthology that examines

tiger parenting from the perspective of the daughter.
Good Girls Marry Doctors: South Asian American Daughters on Obedience and
Rebellion, edited by Piyali Bhattacharya, is the first anthology that examines the
idea of tiger parenting from the perspective of the daughter. The irreverent title
is a reference to the stereotypical ultimate achievement of the Good South
Asian Girl: marriage into the right family, coupled with choosing the right profession (or marrying someone who chose the right profession). The voices in this
volume reveal that Good Girl is an identity of contradictions. Though she may
be a woman not necessarily obsessed with filial piety, she feels indebted to her
parents for the sacrifices theyve made by immigrating, and the opportunities
shes been presented through a foundation they built. This burden of debt makes
it difficult to carve out her own identity.
There is currently almost no published work written by South Asian American
daughters on the pain of having a partner, a career decision, or ones very identity
or sexuality rejected by a parent. Good Girls Marry Doctors will be a tool for those
who need it mosta how-to guide for women looking to create their own futures.
These are truthful stories, difficult and joyous, from women who have found their
way through the dark and murky territory of carving out an individual path; stories that will undoubtedly empower those women who, even now, are being forced
into lives they did not choose.

The Port-Wine Stain
Norman Lock
A young surgical assistant faces his doppelgnger in a chilling tale
featuring Edgar Allan Poe and a lost Poe story.
Brilliant. . . . Shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and complex insights. . . . A glorious meditation on justice, truth, loyalty, story, and the alchemical
effects of love.Jane Ciabattari, NPR, on The Boy in His Winter
[A] pithy, compact beautifully conducted version of the American Dream.
A lan Cheuse, NPR, on American Meteor
[Walt Whitman] hovers over [American Meteor], just as Mark Twains spirit pervaded The Boy in His Winter. . . . Like all Mr. Locks books, this is an ambitious
work, where ideas crowd together on the page like desperate men on a battlefield.
Gerard Helferich, Wall Street Journal, on American Meteor
In his third book of The American Novels series, Norman Lock recounts the
story of a young Philadelphian, Edward Fenzil, who, in the winter of 1844, falls
under the sway of two luminaries of the nineteenth-century grotesque imagination: Thomas Dent Mtter, a surgeon and collector of medical curiosities,
and Edgar Allan Poe. As Fenzil struggles against the powerful wills that would

Are You Here for What Im Here For?
Brian Booker
Palpably tense and exquisitely atmospheric stories

of people confronting their innermost fears.
The suspense creeps in and takes hold in seven stories about troubled characters
grappling with rare illnesses, menacing chance encounters, sexual awakening,
impending natural disasters, and New Age cults.
Within these pages, the everyday meets the uncanny as two high school
friends go out for one unforgettable night. A boy, haunted by dreams of a catastrophic flood, becomes swept up in an encephalitis epidemic. A hypochondriac
awaits her diagnosis at a Caribbean health resort. A disease researcher meets his
nemesis on a train. A father searches for his missing son in a remote mountain
lodge where nothing is quite as it seems. An elderly pharmacist protects his adopted nephew, who found a mermaid in a bottle, from a coastal village gripped
by hysteria. A teenager is sent to a therapeutic boarding school with disturbing
methods and is reunited with a staff member years later.
Even at its most surreal, this polished and lyrical debut remains grounded in
the emotional lives of people teetering atop widening chasms of confusion and
doubt.
Brian Bookers stories have been published in the New England Review, Conjunctions,
One Story, Tin House, Vice, and elsewhere. He holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers
Workshop and a PhD in English from New York University, and has been a fiction
fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and the Wisconsin Institute
for Creative Writing. He teaches creative writing at the University of Chicago. Are
You Here for What Im Here For? is his first collection of fiction.

A remarkable democratic experiment. . . . A feminist army . . . has carried out a

In war-torn Northern Syria, a democratic societybased on secularism, ethnic

inclusiveness, and gender equalityhas won significant victories against the
Islamic State, with women on the front lines as fierce warriors and leaders.
A Road Unforeseen recounts the dramatic, under-reported history of the Rojava
Kurds, whose all-women militia was instrumental in the 2014 perilous mountaintop rescue of tens of thousands of civilians besieged in Iraq. Up to that point, the
Islamic State had seemed invincible. Yet these women helped vanquish them,
bringing the first half of the refugees to safety within twenty-four hours. Who
are the revolutionary women of Rojava, what are their chances for survival under
attack from all sides, and what lessons can we learn from their heroic story?
Meredith Tax is a writer and political activist. Author, most recently, of Double
Bind: The Muslim Right, the Anglo-American Left, and Universal Human Rights,
she was founding president of Womens WORLD, a global free speech network
of feminist writers, and cofounder of the PEN American Centers Womens
Committee and the International PEN Women Writers Committee. She is currently board chair of the Centre for Secular Space and lives in New York.

Cambridge spy Guy Burgess was the supreme networker of his age. His contacts
provided him with so many hard facts and so much insider gossip that his Moscow
masters found it difficult to keep up with the flow of material. Stewart Purvis and
Jeff Hulbert, who obtained the first recording of Burgesss voice from FBI files,
have now discovered many more facts about Burgess and his contacts from previously secret sources.
This book reveals how at the heart of Burgesss network was an inner cell of
communist spies and sympathisers, who were influential in the British media
in the 1930s and 40s. The outer layer of his network was made up of contacts,
ranging from two prime ministers to celebrities in the arts and show business,
who unwittingly gave him the inside track on British life.
This is the first full biography of Burgess, and considers how this scruffy,
smelly, sexually promiscuous, conspicuous drunk was such a successful Soviet
spy that he was never challenged by Britains spy catchers. It culminates in new
revelations about his final, lonely days in Moscow as the spy who knew nobody.
Stewart Purvis is Professor of Television Journalism at City University, London.
He coauthored When Reporters Cross the Line: The Heroes, the Villains, the Hackers
and the Spies with Jeff Hulbert.

Ian Fleming
A Personal Memoir
Robert Harling
A fascinating and unprecedented insight into

the mind and life of the creator of James Bond.
This is Robert Harlings account of his close and enduring friendship with one
of the twentieth centurys most iconic writers; a friendship forged on the front
line of the Second World War.
Their paths met in the early 1940s upon the creation of 30 Assault Unit, a
British Commando unit Ian Fleming founded and ran. While Fleming was based
in London, Harling, his second-in-command, operated on the front. The war made
the men fast friends, and Fleming would later write Harling into his Bond novels
Thunderball and The Spy Who Loved Me.
Despite the pairs friendship, this book is a searching psychological investigation. This is Fleming, warts and all: his magnetism and charm often tempered by
bouts of depression, failing health, and a deep-rooted misogyny dooming his relationships with women to end in failure and recrimination.
Harling brings a unique and authoritative perspective to a compelling subject. Ordered by the author not to be published in his lifetime, this extraordinary
memoir offers a fascinating and unprecedented insight into the mind and life of
Fleming, from one of those who knew him best.
Robert Harlings postwar career included twenty-eight years as editor of House &
Garden magazine, and almost forty as the Sunday Timess celebrated typographic
adviser. He was the author of some eighteen books of fiction and nonfiction. He
died in 2008.

Alfred Brendel, one of the greatest pianists of our time, is renowned for his masterly interpretations of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Liszt, and has
been credited with rescuing from oblivion the piano music of Schuberts last
years. Far from having merely one string to his bow, however, Brendel is also
one of the worlds most remarkable writers on musicpossessed of the rare
ability to bring together the clarity and originality of expression that characterised his performances to the printed page.
The definitive collection of his award-w inning writings and essays, Music,
Sense and Nonsense combines all of his work originally published in his two classic
books, Musical Thoughts and Afterthoughts and Music Sounded Out, along with significant new material on a lifetime of recording, performance habits, and reflections on life and art.
As well as providing stimulating reading, this new edition yields a unique
insight into the exceptional mind of one of the outstanding musicians of the
twentieth and twenty-fi rst centuries. Whether discussing Bach or Beethoven,
Schubert or Schoenberg, Brendels essays are both illuminating and challenging,
a treasure for the specialist and the music lover alike.

The R Word
Kurt Barling
The R Word explores a changing country in a changing world, and our relationship with notions of race and racism, examining a paradox at the heart of anti-
racism. By adopting the language of the oppressor to liberate the oppressed, are
we paralyzing ourselves with the language inherited from raciology, race, and
racism? Is it yet possible to step out of our skins and leave the color behind?

More Londons Strangest Tales
Tom Quinn
Tom Quinn delves into the endlessly fascinating and

sometimes bizarre history of one of the worlds great capitals.
Following on from the hugely successful Londons Strangest Tales, Tom Quinn
plunges even deeper into the endlessly beguiling past of one of the worlds greatest capitals, and once more unpicks the quirkiest tales that characterise London.
Why would Winston Churchill ask to be lowered in a bucket into the sewers
of London? Why is the name George so important to certain elitist London
clubs? Why did the market for human teeth become such a booming industry?
As with many old cities, a wealth of bizarre and astonishing tales makes up the
history of London: stories ranging from the churches and streets of the city to
the incredible actions of monarchs and mavericks.
Inside these pages you will uncover the stories of a king who enjoyed cross-
dressing and the schoolboys who played football with a pancake; you will learn
which prestigious department store once sold cocaine over the counter and why
Napoleons nose is built into the structure of Admiralty Arch. More Londons
Strangest Tales promises to be an incredible collection of the weird and wonderful, a city guide proving once and for all that truth is stranger than fiction.
Tom Quinn is the author of many titles including Londons Strangest Tales,
Backstairs Billy: The Life of William Tallon, the Queen Mothers most Devoted
Servant, and The Cooks Tale: Life Below Stairs as it Really Was. He also writes occasional obituaries for the Times and edits Country Business magazine.

The White Lady spy net stretched across Europe, encompassing more than one
thousand agents and producing 70 percent of Allied intelligence on the German
forces in the First World War. Through sheer ingenuity, it maintained a staggeringly complex network of spies deep behind enemy lines, who provided vital information on troop movements to and from the Western Front. Its success rested
on one man: Henry Landau.

Abel
The True Story of the Spy They Traded for Gary Powers
Second Edition
Vin Arthey
A singular and absorbing true account of Cold War espionage;

the story behind Steven Spielbergs film Bridge of Spies.
On 10 February 1962, Gary Powers, the American pilot whose U-2 spy plane
was shot down in Soviet airspace, was brought to Berlins Glienicke Bridge,
where he was to take part in the most famous prisoner exchange in history.
The man Powers was traded for was one Colonel Rudolf Abel, a cover name
for KGB Colonel Vilyam Fisher, one of the most extraordinary characters in the
history of the Cold War.
Abel/Fisher was born plain Willie Fisher in Newcastle upon Tyne, son to
revolutionary parents who fled Tsarist oppression in Russia. Arriving in the
newly formed Soviet Union in 1921, Fisher was trained as a spy and eventually
sent to New York, where, posing as an artist, he ran the network that purloined
Americas atomic secrets.
In 1957, his luck ran out and he was arrested and sentenced to thirty years
in prison. Six years later, the USSRs regard for Fisher was evidenced when they
insisted on swapping him for the stricken Powers. The trade was negotiated by
New York lawyer James Donovan, and Abel and Powerss story is dramatized in
the Steven Spielberg film Bridge of Spies.
Tracing that story from the most unlikely of beginnings in Newcastle, to
Moscow and beyond to the streets of New York, Abel is a singular and absorbing true story of Cold War espionage to rival anything in fiction.

Financial Times
An extraordinary researcher, a sophisticated critic.R uminator
A Man of Genius portrays a psychological journey from safety into obsession and
secrecy. It mirrors a physical passage from flamboyant Regency England through
a Europe conquered by Napoleon.
Ann, a successful writer of cheap Gothic novels, becomes obsessed with Robert
James, regarded by many, including himself, as a genius, with his ideas, his talk,
and his band of male followers. However, their relationship becomes tortuous, as
Robert descends into violence and madness.
The pair leaves London for occupied Venice, where Ann tries to cope with the
monstrous ego of her lover. Forced to flee with a stranger, she delves into her past,
to be jolted by a series of revelationsabout her lover, her parentage, the stranger,
and herself.
Janet Todd is known for her works about Mary Wollstonecraft, Aphra Behn, the
Shelley circle, and Jane Austen. Born in Wales, her wandering childhood in the
United Kingdom, Bermuda, and Sri Lanka led to work as an academic in Ghana,
the United States, and United Kingdom. Her passion has been for women writers, the largely unknown and the famous. A former president of Lucy Cavendish
College, University of Cambridge, she lives in Cambridge and Venice.

Our lawyer hero Guerrieri, a corrupt judge, and a woman biker detective,

The author occupies a niche similar to Erle Stanley Gardner and John Grisham.
Carofiglio has endowed his hero with discriminating taste for good food, but none

As exacting and contemplative as any crime writer I can think of. Yet when the
Italian defense lawyer isnt doing something, he is thinking, and what goes on
in his doubt-stuffed head is always captivating.The Washington Post
Hard-boiled and sun-d ried in equal parts. Where Philip Marlowe would be
knocking back bourbon and listening to the snap of fist on jaw, Guerrieri prefers

The fifth in the best-selling Guido Guerrieri series.

When Judge Larocca is accused of corruption, Guerrieri goes against his better instincts and takes the case. Helped by Annapaola Doria, a motorbike-r iding
bisexual private detective who keeps a baseball bat on hand for sticky situations,
he discovers that the judge has links to the mafia. Larocca is blind to the im
morality of his actions but Annapaola makes sure that justice is done, perhaps
not in the most orthodox way. Of course Guerrieri cannot stop himself from falling for Annapaolas exotic charms.
The novel is a suspenseful legal thriller but it is also much more. It is the story
of a judge who, to quote Dostoevsky, lies to himself and listens to his own lies, so
gets to the point where he can no longer distinguish the truth, either in himself or
around himself.

When Tsuneo goes to apologize to the boutique owner for the trouble caused
by his wifes death he discovers that she led a double life. He eventually confronts

Aracelis Girmay
Timely and necessary poems investigate the historical and current
realities of blackness in America, elegizing and celebrating human life.
The Black Maria investigates African diasporic histories, the consequences of racism within American culture, and the question of human identity. Central to this
project is a desire to recognize the lives of Eritrean refugees who have been made
invisible by years of immigration crisis and statelessness, while wrestling with
the humanistic notion of seeing beyond: seeing violence, seeing grace, and seeing each other better.

Dirt Roads and Diner Pie
Shonna Milliken Humphrey
Against a backdrop of highways, diners, and cheap coffee,

one couple finds peace through the redemptive power of love.
Told from a wifes perspective, Dirt Roads and Diner Pie is the story of one couples
struggle to confront the long-reaching effects of childhood sexual abuse.
Musician and former lead singer of the United States Air Force Band, Travis
James Humphrey lived for thirty months in a culture of childhood sexual abuse
while studying at New Jerseys prestigious American Boychoir School. After leaving the school, Travis buried his memories deep. Years into the couples marriage,
these memories began to surface and threaten their relationship. In an effort to
resolve these problems, Shonna Milliken Humphrey and her husband hit the
road and try to navigate their way through the treacherous terrain of mental illness, sexual dysfunction, and shame.
Despite the heavy subject matter, Humphreys approach is wry, witty, balanced, and tender. She details their journey within a three-week road trip of the
southeastern United States taken shortly after Travis made his experience public.
While the effects of child sex abuse inform nearly every aspect of their shared
life, it does not define their relationship. That is the message Humphrey offers:
Sexual trauma may dominate, but it need not define the relationship itself.
Shonna Milliken Humphreys nonfiction has appeared in the New York Times,
the Atlantic, Salon.com, Down East, and Maine magazine. For two years, she wrote
regular food, restaurant, and lifestyle columns for the Maine Sunday Telegram. She
holds an MFA in Nonfiction Writing and Literature from Bennington College.

In March of 1953, Donald Watkins, a former Marine who served in China during
the Japanese invasion of 1937, murdered his wife and mother-in-law. After serving twenty-t wo years in Farview State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, he was
released and eventually married again. A decade later, Donald may or may not
have been the cause of his second wifes death, as well.
Author Diane Cameron uncovers the true story of her stepfather, Donald
Watkins. Was he a traumatized veteran? A victim of abuse in the mental-health
system? Was he a criminal? Mentally ill? Or just eccentric?
As she unravels this mystery, Cameron finds healing and understanding with
her own struggles and history of family abuse. She discovers an unlikely collection of role models in the community of the China Marines, as they were
known. Together, they help put the pieces of shared war experience in perspective and resolve the more complex issue of understanding trauma itself.
With insights drawn from diverse experts such as Thomas Szasz and Bessel
van der Kolk, Cameron unlocks the connection between the experience of veterans of past wars and those who deal with the war trauma today.
Diane Cameron is an award-w inning columnist. An excerpt from Never Leave
Your Dead was first published in the Bellevue Literary Review and was nominated
for a 2006 Pushcart Prize.

The Jaguar Man
Lara Naughton
An unorthodox memoir of how one womans use of compassion

helped her survive a rape and later find peace.
What happens when one harrowing incident changes your life, splitting it between before and now?
On the fourth day of what Lara Naughton thought would be two weeks of
bliss in Belize, she was kidnapped by a man pretending to be a cabdriver, held in
the tropical forest, and raped. In the depths of the junglealone with the Jaguar
Mancompassion was her only defense.
Laras survival and journey of healing is poignant, compelling, and exceptionalit runs against the grain of what were taught and how we speak about
crime and victimhood. Bending the limits of reality, she uses myth to process her
experience and further explore the power of compassion. What she comes to is
authentic, unorthodox, and fresh, and could serve as a groundbreaking path for
trauma survivors to find their own peace and healing.
Lara Naughton is a New Orleans-based writer and teacher. As a documentary
playwright, she has created work with groups such as AIDS Project Los Angeles,
the Program for Torture Victims, and Resurrection After Exoneration. Her
play, Never Fight a Shark in Water, toured the United States. Chair of the creative writing department at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, she
also teaches writing in New Orleans-area prisons and community centers. A
graduate of The Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education
at Stanford Universitys School of Medicine, Naughton serves as the Director of
CompassionNOLA and teaches workshops and trainings on mindfulness and
compassion.

A rich and multilayered guide that offers readers accessible wisdom and practical methods to cultivate deeper satisfaction in everyday experiences. In contrast
to stimulus-d riven pleasure, contentment comes from living a life of meaning
that aligns with ones values. The author identifies the common traps people fall
into looking for happiness that actually create stress, worries, and fears, and offers authentic mindfulness-based solutions to counteract them.
The increasing popularity of secular mindfulness in the United States mainstream has unfortunately produced a variety of teachings that water down and
misunderstand this important philosophy and approach to living. Mindfulness
is often reduced to concentration exercises and a simplistic definition of being
aware of the present moment. In nearly all secular presentations of mindfulness,
it is taken out of the rich context of the Three Higher Trainings (ethics, concentration, and wisdom) of Buddhism in which it was originally taught. The unique
feature of this book is that it maintains the substance of the entire teaching as a program that is accessible to people of all spiritual traditions or no spiritual tradition.
John Bruna is a counselor, mindfulness and spiritual teacher, and Certified
Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in California. In 2005,
he was ordained as a Buddhist monk in the Tibetan tradition through the
Gaden Shartse Monastery in India. In 2012, he became a Certified Cultivating
Emotional Balance Mindfulness Teacher via the Santa Barbara Institute for
Consciousness Studies. Currently, John is the director of the Way of Compassion
Foundation and cofounder of the Mindful Life Program.

The Human Jungle
Cho Chongnae
Translated by Bruce Fulton and Ju-Chan Fulton
This muckraking novel by one of Koreas greatest living writers

portrays China at the dawn of its global economic dominance.
Equal parts muckraking novel, transnational love story, and socially engaged
panorama, Cho Chongnaes The Human Jungle portrays China on the verge of
becoming the worlds dominant economic force.
Against a backdrop of rapidly morphing urban landscapes, readers meet migrant workers, Korean manufacturers out to save a few bucks, high-flying venture
capitalists, street thugs, and shakedown artists. The picture of China that emerges
is at turns unsettling, awe-inspiring, and heart-breaking. Chongnae deftly portrays
a giant awakening to its own raw, volatile, and often uncontrollable power.
Translators Bruce Fulton and Ju-C han Fulton have condensed three of
Chongnaes Korean novels, each of which sold more than one million copies in
South Korea, into this single English-language edition.
Cho Chongnae is one of Koreas most important living writers. He is best known
for a trio of massive historical novels: the ten-volume Taebaek Mountains (1989),
the twelve-volume Arirang (1995), and the ten-volume Han River (2002). Cho
lives in Seoul, South Korea.
Bruce Fulton and Ju-Chan Fulton are the translators of numerous volumes of
modern Korean fiction, including the award-w inning womens anthologies Words
of Farewell and Wayfarer, and, with Marshall R. Pihl, Land of Exile: Contemporary
Korean Fiction. They have received two National Endowment for the Arts
Translation Fellowships, including the first ever given for a translation from
the Korean language, and the first residency at the Banff International Literary
Translation Centre awarded to translators from any Asian language. Bruce Fulton
is the inaugural holder of the Young-Bin Min Chair in Korean Literature and
Literary Translation at the University of British Columbia.

This dark comedy explores the lost universes of disgraced idol Dylan Greenyears.
Dylan had always wanted to live as many lives as he couldthat was the appeal of
being an actor. But at the end of a brief stint as a Hollywood heartthrob, Dylan loses
the lead in Titanic and exiles himself and his wife to a recently settled exoplanet
called New Taiwan.
At first, life beyond Earth seems uncannily un-wondrous. Dylan teaches at an
American prep school, raises a family with his high school sweetheart, and lives
out his restlessness through literature. But then a box of old fan mail (and the hint
of a galaxy-w ide conspiracy) offers Dylan a chance to recapture the past. As he
tries to balance this transdimensional midlife crisis against family life, Dylan encounters a cast of extraordinary characters: a supercomputer with aspirations of
godhood, a Mormon-fundamentalist superfan, an old-school psychoanalyst, a
sampling of his alternate selves, and, once again, the love of his lives.
King of the Worlds throws cosmology, technology, nineties pop culture, and
religion into an existential blender for a mix that is by turns tragic and absurd,
elegiac and filled with wonder.
M. Thomas Gammarino is the author of the novel Big in Japan and the novella
Jellyfish Dreams. His short fiction has appeared in the New York Tyrant, Tinfish,
Word Riot, and the Hawaii Review, among others. In 2014, Gammarino received
the Elliot Cades Award for Literature, Hawaiis highest literary honor. He lives

ChiZine Publications
Toronto, Ontario
ChiZine Publications is willing to take risks. Were looking for the unusual, the interesting, and the thought-
provoking. We look for writers who are also willing to take risks, who want to take dark genre fiction to a
new place. CZP wants to startle, to astound, and to share the bliss of good writing with our readership.
Whats Dark Genre Fiction?
We say dark genre fiction because too much time is spent fighting over sci-fi vs. horror vs. fantasy.
We want stories using speculative elementsmagic, technology, insanity, gods, or insane-magic-
technology-godsto show the dark side of human nature. The good guy can feeland act onanger,
hatred, and vengeance, just like the villain. Heroes dont always win, conclusions dont always wrap things up
nicely, and sometimes things can take a turn thats just plain weird . . . even for the genre.
Is Genre Fiction Standing Still?
Larger presses are sometimes forced to play it safe: to use plots and stories weve seen before, because thats
what the public seems to crave. Teenage vampire angst; multi-book sword and sorcery series; invading
aliens. Sometimes it can feel like were all just reading the same stories, over and over. These are safe
storiesnot particularly challenging, and effortless to consume and digest. Because were a smaller outfit,
we can take some risksfeaturing authors and manuscripts that are trying to move the genre forward.
Come With Us!
CZP wants fiction that takes that next step forward. We want to give our readers stories that, if you removed
the genre element, could still stand on their own. Despite any kind of label, above all, were out to publish
well-written, character-driven stories. The single most important quality we look for at CZP is resonance.
Bottom line: If you like one CZP book, chances are, youll like them all.

In the third Cross book, the immortal angel killer Cross faces his most dangerous enemy yet: Noah. For ages Noah has sailed the seas, seeking out all of Gods
mistakes and imprisoning them on his ark. Noah is not humanitys savior but is
instead Gods jailer. But he has grown increasingly mad over the centuries, and
now he is determined to end the world by raising the mysterious Sunken City.
Only one person can stop him: Cross.
The Apocalypse Ark is an epic chase around the world and through history

by a few old friends, such as Alice from the Alice in Wonderland tales, and several new characters make memorable appearances as well: Captain Nemo and
his crew of Atlanteans aboard the submarine the Nautilus; the sorcerous pirate
Blackbeard, who has sworn revenge upon Cross; the devilish angel Sariel, whose
sacred duty is to protect Gods Bible; and the eerie and mysterious Ishmael, who
may be the key to the worlds salvationor its damnation. Cross must find a way
to bring them all together to stop Noah or the world will drown in madness.

The follow-up to the religious fantasy

The Book of Thomas.

The Spheres of the Apostles: an artificial world consisting of massive concentric spheres. A millennium has passed since the Spheres were first seeded by the
Catholic Church and few remember the persecution from which they fled; even
fewer are aware of the systems quietly functioning and malfunctioning around
them. The world is simply the world as God has made it and so beyond their ken.
Angels, a genetically modified elite, have trapped themselves in Lower Heaven
and can only observe as the world slowly comes undone, while men scratch out a
meagre existence in Spheres below, afflicted with the violence that accompanies
the disintegration of religious authority. In an attempt to wrest scarce resources
from the Angels, the Papacy has declared war on Lower Heaven, while below, an
army of the poor and dispossessed gathers, readying to march on Rome . . .
At the behest of the Archangel Zeracheil, Thomas descends into this chaos,
his only solace a book that contains all the stories ever written. Thomas begins his
journey to Hell, in the hope that he might staunch the flow of Gods blood, and, in
doing so, redeem the human Spheres.
Robert Boyczuk has published short stories in various magazines and anthologies. He also has three books out: a collection of his short work, Horror Story and
Other Horror Stories, and two novels, Nexus: Ascension and The Book of Thomas (all
by ChiZine Publications).
Almost Dark
Letitia Trent
A surreal urban fantasy that blurs the line between life and death.
Claire, a private and outwardly content librarian, carries a secret: she is wracked
with guilt over her twin brother Sams accidental death fifteen years earlier.
Claires quiet life is threatened when Justin, an aggressive business developer, announces the renovation of Farmingtons oldest textile factory, which is the scene
of Sams death along with many other mysterious accidents throughout its long
history. Claire not only feels a personal connection to the factory, but she also
begins to receive visitations from her brother, which cause her to question her
sanity. As Justin moves forward with his plans to renew the factory, Claire, and
the town as a whole, discover that in Farmington, there is no clear line between

Zoran Penevski
Illustrated by Ivica Stevanovic
Delightful, gruesome, surrealist imagery from Serbias first
graphic novel about one mans obsession with the dead.

your dreams and delight your senses.

Shadows in Summerland
Adrian Van Young
Journey into William H. Mumlers world of mediums, clairvoyants,

and swindling spirit photographers in Boston, 1859.
Boston, 1859. A nation on the brink of war.

Confidence men prowl the streets for fresh marks. Mediums swindle the newly
bereaved. Into this world of illusion and intrigue comes William Mumler, a manipulating mastermind and criminal jeweler. Mumler hopes to make his fortune
by photographing spirits for Bostons elite. The key to his venture: a shy girl named
Hannah who sees and manifests the dead and washes up on Bostons harbor along
with her strange, intense mother, Claudette.
As Mumler and Hannahs fame grows throughout Boston, everybody wants a
piece: Bill Christian, a brothel tough; Algernon Child, a drunken rival; Fanny A.
Conant, a sly suffragette; and William Guay, a religious fanatic. These rogues
among a host of others, including the great spirit rapper Kate Fox, form powerful
bonds with the spirit photographers, one of which will end in murder. Mumlers
first and last mistake: the dead cannot be made to heel.
Roughly based on the real-life story of spirit photographer William H. Mumler
and his clairvoyant wife, Hannah Mumler, Shadows in Summerland immerses the
reader in a shifting world of light and shade where nothing is quite what it seems
at first glance.

Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart
Essential UK DIY Singles 19771985
Jonathon Dale
Edited by Stephen Pastel
A survey of the graphics and sounds of 101 seminal British singles

made independently of record labels throughout the eighties.
Following the nuclear blast of punk, a new sound and aesthetic emerged from
the rubble. This was a grassroots, homemade culture, liberated from the shackles of the corporate music industry. A frenzy of micro-pressed singles were released, sheathed in blurry, Xeroxed sleeves with rubber stamped names on them:
Desperate Bicycles, Scritti Politti, Swell Maps, and the Shop Assistants. The
three letters DIY became both a declaration of intention and an imperative
a call to arms, a response to the dire politics and bleak forecast for late-seventies
and early-eighties Britain.
This book offers a fascinating insight into this febrile moment in British
music history, looking in depth at 101 key singles that changed the musical landscape. Interviews with key figures from the time run alongside authoritative text
from music historian Jonathon Dale. Lo-fi graphics are presented in all their
scrubby glory, resonating with todays newfound rise of independent culture.
A delight for music and graphic aficionados alike.

Notes on the Assemblage
Juan Felipe Herrera
Juan Felipe Herrera, son of Mexican immigrants, is the new

Poet Laureate of the United States, the nations first Latino laureate.
Herrera is . . . a sometimes hermetic, wildly inventive, always unpredictable

poet, whose work commands attention for its style alone.... Many poets since
the 1960s have dreamed of a new hybrid art, part oral, part written, part English,
part something else: an art grounded in ethnic identity, fueled by collective
pride, yet irreducibly individual too. Many poets have tried to create such an art:
Herrera is one of the first to succeed.The New York Times
Herrera has the unusual capacity to write convincing political poems that are
as personally felt as poems can be.N PR
[A] visually acute, punch-in-the-g ut collection that shows off both his craft and
his heart. . . . As always, Herreras signature language is immediate, visceral, in
the moment, sometimes razzy-jazzy, and compacted to create intensive feeling.
Urgently written and important to read.Library Journal, starred review
While reporters can give you the what, when, and where of a war, a poet with the
enormous gifts of Juan Herrera can give you its soul.Ishmael Reed
Exuberant and socially engaged, reflective and healing, this collection of new
work from the nations first Latino Poet Laureate is brimming with the wide-open
vision and hard-won wisdom of a poet whose life and creative arc have spanned
chasms of culture in an endless crossing, dreaming, and back again.

Brothers and Sisters! We are fast approaching a time when our normal way of life
will no longer be possible. Our old life will disappear like the coastal cities and the
black rhinoceros, casualties of climate change.
Civic life in the time of climate chaosfloods, fire, drought, and superstorms
will require intensive policing and social control. Governing bodies will transform and democracy will fall by the wayside; the banks and the power stations
will be heavily defended; whole populations will be incarcerated. While this
might seem like dystopian fiction, its actually a description of life as its lived in
much of the world now, and will become the norm unless we can stop it. When the
ocean is pouring in through the door, will we find the will to act before we drown?
This book is a call for action as extreme as the weather. Its meant to radicalize
those who didnt think the climate crisis would require any risky personal commitment. The Earth revolution is upon us, and it must be as wild and as unpredictable as life on Earth itself!
Reverend Billy and his choir of singing activists are on the front lines of creative direct action, and here they offer up a distillation of the passion, the inspiration, and the hopes for love and survival that fuel their work. In a mix of essays,
poem/songs, polemics, surrealist scenarios, and news flashes from the frontlines,
they answer the question, What are we to do? with a resounding chorus of
Take Action NOW!

Breaking Through Power
Its Easier Than We Think
Ralph Nader
A Thomas Paine-style indictment of how wealthy corporations

control politics and how average Americans, through democracy,
can fight back and win.
I read Ralph Nader for the same reasons that I read Tom Paine. He knows what he
thinks, says what he means, and his courage is a lesson for us all.Lewis Lapham
Nader insists on speaking up for the little people and backs his arguments and
decent sentiments with hard facts.Publishers Weekly
Ralph Nader is without a doubt the most dedicated, fearless, and intelligent citi
zen crusader America has ever been fortunate enough to have in our midst.
Nomi Prins, author of All the Presidents Bankers
In Breaking Through Power, Ralph Nader draws from a lifetime wagingand often
winningDavid vs. Goliath battles against big corporations and the United
States government. In this succinct, Tom Paine-s tyle wake-up call, the iconic
consumer advocate highlights the success stories of fellow Americans who organize change and work together to derail the many ways in which wealth manipulates politics, labor, media, the environment, and the quality of national life today.
Nader makes an inspired case about how the nation cana nd mustbe democratically managed by communities guided by the United States Constitution,
not by the dictates of big businesses and the wealthy few. This is classic Ralph
Nader, a crystallization of the core political beliefs and commitments that have
driven his lifetime of advocacy for greater democracy.

This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery
and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into
eternal life as one who shares the blood by two women there, Gilda spends the
next two hundred years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian
classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an
auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-
definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.
Jewelle Gomez is a writer, activist, and the author of many books including
Forty-Three Septembers, Dont Explain, The Lipstick Papers, Flamingoes and Bears,
and Oral Tradition. The Gilda Stories was the recipient of two Lambda Literary
Awards, and was adapted for the stage by the Urban Bush Women theater company in thirteen United States cities.
Alexis Pauline Gumbs was named one of UTNE Readers 50 Visionaries Transforming the World, a Reproductive Reality Check Shero, a Black Woman Rising

lives in Durham, North Carolina.

The Lost Civilization of Suolucidir
Susan Daitch
Indiana Jones meets Italo Calvino in a masterful, absurdist blend of

biting social satire, rollicking adventure, invented history, and mythology.
A series of archeological expeditions unfolds through time, each one looking

for the ruins of a fabled underground city-state that once flourished in a remote
province near the border of present-day Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Sealed
off for centuries by seismic activity, Suolucidir beckons with the promise of
plunder and the glory of discovery, fantasies as varied as the imaginations of
her aspiring modern-d ay conquerors.
As the tumult of the twentieth centurys great wars, imperial land grabs, and
anti-colonial revolutions swirl across its barren, deserted landscape, the ancient
city remains entombed below the surface of the earth. A succession of adventurers, speculators, and unsavory characters arrive in search of their prize, be
it archeological treasure, oil, or evidence of crimes and punishments. Intrigue,
conspiracies, and counter-plots abound, and contemporary events interfere with
each expedition, whether in the form of the Axis advance, British Petroleum, or
the Revolutionary Guards. People disappear, relics are stolen, and the city closes
in upon itself once more.
A satiric, post-c olonial adventure story of mythic proportions, The Lost
Civilization of Suolucidir takes place against a background of actual events, in a
part of the world with a particular historical relationship to Russia and the West.
But though we are treated to visual evidence of its actual existence, Suolucidir
remains a mystery, perhaps an invention of those who seek it, a place where history and identity are subject to revision, and the boundaries between East and
West are anything but solid, reliable, or predictable.

Old Angel Midnight is a treasure trove of Kerouacs experiments with automatic

writing, a method he practiced constantly to sharpen his imaginative reflexes.
Recorded in a series of notebooks between 1956 and 1959, what Kerouac called
his endless automatic writing piece began while he shared a cabin with poet
Gary Snyder, who encouraged his interest in Buddhism.
By this time Kerouac was fully matured as a writer: hed written six novels,
a collection of poetry, and had already been writing spontaneous prose for five
years. Kerouac tried to emulate Snyders daily meditation discipline, using the
technique of letting go to free his mind for pure spontaneous writing, annotating the stream of words flowing through his consciousness in response to auditory stimuli and his own mental images. His associations move freely from
thoughts to images to pure sounds to emptiness, as Kerouac chronicles this
inner life which we actually lead, one & all, in the new rhythmic measure which
we actually speak, and in the inevitable prose or poetic forms dictated by unique
revelation of the mind faithfully notating its own processes.
Kerouac continued his exercise in spontaneous composition over the next
three years, including a period spent with William Burroughs in Tangiers. He
made no revisions to the automatic writing entries in his notebooks, which were
collected and transcribed for publication as originally written. Old Angel Midnight
attests to the success of Kerouacs experiment and bears witness to his commitment to his craft, and to the pleasure he takes in writing: I like the bliss of mind.

Save Twilight: Selected Poems
Pocket Poets No. 53
Second Edition
Julio Cortzar
Translated with an introduction by Stephen Kessler
Newly expanded edition of a classic: the first and only

collection of Cortzars poetry to appear in English.
World-renowned as one of the masters of modern fiction, Julio Cortzar was also
a prolific poet who, in his final months in Paris, assembled his lifes work in verse.
This new, expanded edition of Save Twilight, with over twenty-five newly translated poems, is a distillation of Cortzars selection, a bilingual survey of his poetry ranging through various voices, moods, and styles. From free verse to fixed
forms, the intimately lyrical to the social-h istorical, Cortzar is revealed as a virtuoso stylist and a poet of intense personal passion, yet alsot ypical of his works
in prosea subverter of genres in his playful approach to the book as literary artifact. In Save Twilight, the author interrupts the high seriousness of poetic art with
interludes of earnestly irreverent commentary on the process of selection, turning
this volume of collected verse into a game in which the reader is invited to par
ticipate as editor-i n-progress.
The power of eros, the enduring beauty of art, and the tragic folly of politics
are some of the recurrent themes. Informed by his immersion in world literature,
music, art, and history, but most of all his own emotional geography, Cortzars
poetry traces his paradoxical evolution from provincial Argentinian sophisticate
to cosmopolitan Parisian romantic, always maintaining the sense of astonishment
of an artist surprised by life.
Julio Cortzar was born in Brussels in 1914 of Argentinian parents, raised in
Argentina, and spent his most productive years in Paris, where he died in 1984.

Notes from the Frontier of the Female Orgasm
Sarah Barmak
A provocative look at why our current understanding

of female sexuality isnt getting us off.
We think of the modern woman as sexually liberatedif anything, were told

were oversexed. And yet a striking number of women report dissatisfaction with
their sex lives, including 16 percent who experience difficulty achieving orgasm
and many more who complain of low desire. But this issue sure doesnt get much
press; the urge is to ignore or medicalize it (witness the quest for pink Viagra).
If so many ordinary women suffer from sexual frustration, then perhaps the problem isnt one that can be addressed by a pharmaceutical cure. Maybe we need to
get hot and bothered about a broader cultural cure: a reorienting of our cultures
current male-focused approach to health and pleasure, and a rethinking of whats
normal.
Using a blend of reportage, interview, and first-person reflection, journalist
Sarah Barmak explores the cutting-edge science and grassroots cultural trends
that are getting us closer to the truth of womens sexuality. Closer reveals
how women are reshaping their sexuality today in wild, irrepressible ways
participating in mindfulness, vulva massage, nude meetings, hour-long orgasms,
masturbation circles, and live demonstrations at Burning Mana nd redefining
female sexuality on its own terms.
Sarah Barmak is a Toronto-based freelance journalist and author. Her writing
has appeared in Macleans, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, Canadian Business,
Marketing, and Readers Digest.

You Only Live Twice
Sex, Death and Transition
Mike Hoolboom and Chase Joynt

YOLT explores two artists lives before and after transitions:
from female to male, and from near-dead to alive.
Chase Joynt and Mike Hoolboom here give each other the gift so many people
only dream of: ample, unhurried space to unspool crucial stories of ones life,
and an attentive, impassioned, invested, intelligent receiver on the other side.
The gift to the reader is both the example of their exchange, and the nuanced,
idiosyncratic, finely rendered examination it offers of biopolitical experiences
which, in many ways, define our times. Im so glad they have each other, and that
we have this.Maggie Nelson
What if its not true that you only live once? In this genre-transcending work of
true fiction, trans writer and media artist Chase Joynt and HIV-positive movie
artist Mike Hoolboom come together over the films of Chris Marker to exchange
transition tales: confessional missives that map out the particularities of what
they call second lives: Chases transition from female to male, and Mikes neardeath from AIDS in the 1990s. Chronicling reactions from friends and families,
medical mechanics, and different versions of coming out, YOLT explores art,
love, sex, death, and life in changed bodies.

shelters the lives of the people who live in it.

Rikki Ducornet
A voluptuous novel of imposture, emotional deformity,

feral children, and the dangers of taking in that little boy lost.
Praise for Rikki Ducornet:

Linguistically explosive . . . one of the most interesting American writers around.
The Nation
Ducornets urrealist, absurdist, pure anarchist at timesis one of our most
accomplished writers, adept at seizing on the perfect details and writing with
emotion and cool detachment simultaneously. I love her style because it is penetrating and precise but also sensual without being overwrought. You experience
a Ducornet novel with all of your senses.Jeff VanderMeer
A feral boy comes of age on a campus decadent with starched sheets, sweating
cocktails, and homemade jams. Stub is the cause of that missing sweater, the pie
that disappeared off the cooling rack. Then Stub meets Billy, who takes him in,
and Asthma, who enchants him, and all is found, then lost. A fragrant, voluptuous novel of imposture, misplaced affection, and emotional deformity.
An artist and writer, Rikki Ducornet has illustrated books by Robert Coover,
Jorge Luis Borges, Forrest Gander, and Joanna Howard. Her paintings have
been exhibited widely, including, most recently, at the Pierre Menard Gallery in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Salvador Allende Museum in Santiago, Chile.

Among Strange Victims
Daniel Saldaa Pars
Translated by Christina MacSweeney
Slackers meets Savage Detectives in this polyphonic ode

to the pleasures of not measuring up.
His tools are brilliant syntax, the ability to achieve highly powerful, recurrent images, a set of relationships between the plot strands that are more than a
forced structure, and humor, a corrosive humor that never leads to laughter, but
is present in every phrase of the book, charged with relentless sardonic irony.
Factorcritico
Rodrigo likes his vacant lot, its resident chicken, and being left alone. But when
passivity finds him accidentally married to Cecilia, he trades Mexico City for the
sun-bleached desolation of his hometown and domestic life with Cecilia for the
debauched company of a poet, a philosopher, and Micaela, whose allure includes
the promise of time travel. Earthy, playful, and sly, Among Strange Victims is a
psychedelic ode to the pleasures of not measuring up.
Daniel Saldaa Pars (born Mexico City, 1984) is an essayist, poet, and novel
ist whose work has been translated into English, French, and Swedish and an
thologized, most recently in Mexico20: New Voices, Old Traditions, published in
the United Kingdom by Pushkin Press. Among Strange Victims is his first novel
to appear in the United States. He lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Problems
Jade Sharma
Girls meets Trainspotting: Problems is a bold and witty book about

a part-time heroin user and her increasingly full-time problems.
Dark, raw, and very funny, Problems introduces us to Maya, a young woman with
a smart mouth, time to kill, and a heroin hobby that isnt much fun anymore.
Mayas been able to get by in New York on her wits and a dead-end bookstore job
for years, but when her husband leaves her and her favorite professor ends their
affair, her barely-calibrated life descends into chaos, and she has to make some
choices. Mayas struggle to be alone, to be a woman, and to be thoughtful and
imperfect and alive in a world that doesnt really care what happens to her is rendered with dead-eyed clarity and unnerving charm. This book takes every tired
trope about addiction and recovery, likeable characters, and redemption narratives and blows them to pieces.
Emily Books is a publishing project and ebook subscription service whose
focus is on transgressive writers of the past, present and future, with an emphasis
on the writing of women, trans and queer people, writing that blurs genre distinctions and is funny, challenging, and provocative.

form Neruda was famous for.The New York Times
This new volume will be a labor of love for the publisher and a joy for readers
everywhere.Library Journal

Presented with the Spanish text, full-color reproductions of handwritten poems,
and dynamic English translations, Then Come Back: The Lost Neruda simultaneously completes and advances the oeuvre of the worlds most beloved poet.
Crossing the sky I near
the red ray of your hair.
Of earth and wheat I am and as I close-in
your fire kindles itself
inside me and the rocks
and flour ignite.
Thats why my heart
expands and rises
into bread for your mouth to devour,
and my blood is wine poured for you.
You and I are the land with its fruit.
Bread, fire, blood and wine
make up the earthly love that sears us.
Pablo Neruda (19041973) is one of the worlds most beloved and best-selling
poets. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

Sex & Love &
Bob Hicok
Hicoks leaps of verbal play, incisive frankness, and wild imagination
engage the often-fraught discussions of monogamous love and sexuality.
The most potent ingredient in virtually every one of Bob Hicoks compact,
well-t urned poems is a laughter as old as humanity itself.The New York Times
Book Review
Hicoks poems are like boomerangs; they jut out in wild, associative directions,
yet find their way back to the root of the matter, often in sincere and heartbreaking ways.Publishers Weekly
In Sex & Love &, Bob Hicok attempts the impossible task of confronting love
and its consequences, in which everything is allowed, minus forever. Switching
gracefully between witty confessions and blunt confrontations, Hicok muses on
age, distance, secret messages, and, of course, sex. Throughout, poetry is discovered to be among our most effective tools to examine the delirium of making
contact.

Eventually One Dreams the Real Thing
Marianne Boruch
Marianne Boruchs generous and gathering mind wanders through
her poemstaking in, then turning around, a curious world.
Marianne Boruchs work has the wonderful, commanding power of true attention: She sees and considers with intensity.The Washington Post
Boruch refuses to see more than there is in thingsbut her patience, her willingness to wait for the film of familiarity to slip, allows her to see what is there
with a jewelers sense of facet and flaw.Poetry
In her tenth volume of poetry, Marianne Boruch displays a historical omni
presence, as she converses with Dickinson, envisions Turner painting, and empathizes with Arthur Conan Doyle. She looks unabashedly at the brutality of
recent history, from drone warfare to the disaster in New Orleans from Hurricane
Katrina. Poems that turn her gaze towards childhood, nature, animals, and her
own poetics are patches of light in the collections chiaroscuro.

Night Sky with Exit Wounds
Ocean Vuong
A haunting debut that is simultaneously dreamlike

and visceral, vulnerable and redemptive, and risks
the painful rewards of emotional honesty.
Ocean Vuong was born in Saigon and moved as a child refugee to Connecticut,
before moving to New York City to become a writer. When he couldnt afford a
place to sleep, he spent nights writing poetry at Penn Station.
In his haunting and fearless debut, Vuong walks a tightrope of vulnerability
and reflects upon his family in exile, a reverential queer love, and the personal
adoption of a sometimes inexplicable nation. Vuongs poems show, through
breath, cadence, and unrepentant enthrallment, that a gentle palm on a chest can
calm the most necessary of hungers.

James Galvin turns to highly imagistic and personal narratives
to rain down compassion within isolation.
James Galvin has a voice and a world, perhaps the two most difficult things to

In his first collection in seven years, James Galvin expands upon his signature
spare and gnomic lyric as he engages restrained astonishment, desire, and loss in
a confessional voice. Whether considering masterpieces of painting or describing the austere landscape of his native Wyoming ranchlands, Galvin turns to
highly imagistic yet intimate narratives to rain down compassion within isolation.

Weeping in their closets,

Like hollow angels.
They know they will never be worn again.
Who wants them now,
After their one heroic day in the limelight?
Yet they glow with desire
In the darkness of closets.

about the night that epitomized the rock and disco culture clash.

was a god. And you were drawn to Disco Demolition.E SPN.com
In the late 1970s, disco dominated radio airwaves, much to the dismay of rock
music fans. To boost attendance at Comiskey Park, the White Sox and Chicago
DJ legend Steve Dahl collaborated to host Disco Demolition on July 12, 1979.
Admission to the park was ninety-eight cents and a disco record. Records were destroyed on the field between games, declaring absolutely how rock fans felt about
disco.
Attendance exceeded fifty thousand, far beyond anyones estimations, and
when fans stormed the field for the demolition, chaos ensued. Police cleared the
field, Comiskey Park was evacuated, and the second game was cancelledfor the
first time in MLB history.
Featuring over thirty interviews with sports and music icons, including Rick
Nielson of Cheap Trick and KC and the Sunshine Band, conducted by journalist Dave Hoekstra with photographs by Paul Natkin, in collaboration with Steve
Dahl, Disco Demolition examines the night that changed Americas disco culture
forever.
Dave Hoekstra is a former columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and a longtime
radio host for WGN.
Steve Dahl is an American radio personality and former columnist for the Chicago
Tribune.

and many others. He was an official photographer of the Oprah Winfrey Show,

Zoe Zolbrod remained silent about her early childhood molestation for nearly a
decade. When she finally decided to tell, she wasnt sure what to expect, or what
to say. Through a kaleidoscopic series of experiencesZolbrod hitchhikes with
a boyfriend from one coast to another, hangs out in a strip club in Philadelphia,
meets and marries her husband, and gives birth to her childrenshe traces the
development of her sexuality, her relationships with men, and the cultivation of
her motherhood in the shadow of her childhood sexual abuse. Bolstered with research, Zolbrod argues passionately for the empowerment of sexual abuse victims and the courage it takes to talk about it.
The Telling is an intimate examination of one womans reckoning with a past
she cant always explain, and a life lived in search for the right words.
Zoe Zolbrods work has appeared in Salon, the Nervous Breakdown, the Weeklings,
and the Rumpus, where she serves as the Sunday Editor. Her debut novel Currency
won a 2010 Nobbie Award and received an honorable mention by Friends of

An artful selection of photographs

commissioned by the FSA but killed
by Roy Stryker with some fantastic

In Ground, Bill McDowell has assembled a series of killed negatives from the
FSA archives, many of which have never before been published. These include
several photographs from 1936 that Walker Evans had made for the book Let Us
Now Praise Famous Men. Also included are never before published photographs
by Walker Evans, Russell Lee, Ben Shahn, Marion Post Wolcott, John Vachon,
Paul Carter, Theodor Jung, Carl Mydans, and Arthur Rothstein.
While the books images document 1930s agriculture and landscapes, they
also have been chosen for the manner in which their black hole abstracts its subjects. McDowell feels that in todays culture the killed negatives black hole has
the appearance of being a contemporary mark, one current with the practice of
intervention, alteration, and appropriation. This provides the photographs a temporal duality in which they present the post-Depression era through a contemporary filter. In our continuing struggle to recover from 2008s Great Recession,
these photographs speak to now even as they confer on past government programs, race and class, damaged and bountiful land, drought, flood, and exodus.

Rubi Lebovitch is an Israeli artist whose photographs deal with domestic scenes
characterized by mystery, vagueness, and absurdity. His photographs show
scenes that are inscrutable to viewers and difficult to identify; their relationship
with the world around them seems senseless. The restlessness characterizing his
work is connected to Freuds concept of the Uncanny, which locates the origins
of horror in the homely and familiar. The scenes depicted in the photographs emphasize what usually remains hidden: the repressed, which cannot be described.
The anxiety that these scenes arouse undermines the peacefulness and security
usually associated with home.

Tiger Legacy:
Stories of Massillon Football
Gary Harwood and David Foster
Tiger Legacy: Stories of Massillon Football is a community storytelling project that
includes images and first-person narratives of all those who contribute to the
Massillon, Ohio, high school football experience: the players, the coaches and
staff, the principal, members of the Tiger Swing Band, the cheerleaders, the Pep
Club, the Orangeman, the Sideliners, the Touchdown Club, the Tiger Moms, the
mayor, the season ticket holders, the orange and black- clad fans, and the beloved
mascot, Obie, the live tiger cub. The story of Massillon football can be seen in the
extraordinary ways that the community comes together to support its Tigers season after season, generation after generation.
Tiger Legacy is rooted in a more than one hundred-year history that traces back
to the origins of the sport. While football was not created in Massillon, it took
root there in ways that popularized the game. The rivalry between Massillon and
the nearby Canton McKinley Bulldogs began in 1894 and is considered among
the greatest high school football rivalries in the United States. Both teams are
in the top ten nationally for total team victories, and historians believe the rivalry had a key role in the evolution of pro-football. The American Professional
Football Association was formed in Canton, Ohio, in 1920 and a few years later,
it would become the National Football League. In 1963, the Pro Football Hall of
Fame was established in Canton.

Metro: Scenes from an Urban Stage

Foreword by Ed Kashi
Essays by Marlaine Glicksman
The metro provides an intriguing location to observe the social landscape of
urban regions around the globe. For the past eight years, Stan Raucher has spent
countless hours photographing on metro systems in over a dozen cities on four
continents including New York, San Francisco, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Paris,
London, Rome, Vienna, Shanghai, Delhi, and more! His candid photographs of
ordinary people interacting with one another and their surroundings reveal an intimate glimpse into a variety of human emotions and interactions. These evoca
tive, richly-layered images are like still photographs from a movie or play, and each
of the scenes invites the viewer to evaluate the situation and then to generate a
unique personal narrative.
At a time when fewer of the images that we see on a routine basis are honest
representations of real life, these photographs open a window to the world that actually surrounds us here and now.

Paradise Wavering explores the fugitive

nature of experience, time, light, and
the photographic medium itself, melding
together past and present and alluding
to an uncertain future.
Paradise Wavering is a photographic stream of consciousness that travels through

a reservoir of memories. Alice Hargrave explores experiences that reflect on the
passage of time and seeks the sublime in moments on the periphery of daily life. By
interspersing the work she currently makes with re-photographed vintage source
material from her own family archive of 8mm films and snapshots, she melds together past and present, and alludes to an uncertain future where environmental angst pervades. The resulting curvilinear narrative is fractured, frayed, and
stained in color, as are our memories and photographic substrates themselves.
Leading through prairies, mangroves and tropical forests, the photographs are
inspired by the heroic landscapes of early travel photography, vernacular family
pictures, and the first color processes such as Autochromes. They embrace, but
also re-contextualize, and reimagine the clichs of documenting family travels
where photographys role is to harness exotic flora and fauna or Kodachrome
moments from a moving car, her liberal and intuitive use of the vivid, visceral
colors of recollection eclipses reality, inscribes emotion, and reveals how photo
graphs literally color memory and perception. Color itself becomes a subject,
leaving behind its mood and patina as a shroud.

Bird skins, bleached bones, tattered

photographic images in Collections,
specimens unearthed from
national park museums.
160
Leah Sobsey works at the intersection of nineteenth century photographic processes and twenty-fi rst century digital technology. Sobsey photographs bird
skins, bleached bones, clipped ferns, and tattered shoes that she unearths from
the dark drawers of national park museum collections. Plucked from their original
context, she illuminates them with sun and light, giving them new definition. The
subject matter of each series she creates is dictated by her discoveries, bridging
past to present, honoring both the specimens she works with and the medium
of photography.
Her project is particularly timely during this centennial year of national parks
service, and as museum collections are in a current state of crisis due to diminishing funding and support. Her focus on the parks is a way of preserving these fragile specimens that represent American history. This body of work sheds light on the
importance and significance of the collections and their impact on science, history,
the humanities and the hundreds of thousands of visitors who leave their footprints
on our national parks.

Essays From Where Writing and Life Collide

Essays on writing, life, and the collisions between the two

from the internationally acclaimed author of Life Drawing.
Black is a writer of great wisdom.Claire Messud, The Guardian

Robin Blacks path through loss and survival delivered her to the writers life.
Agoraphobia, the challenges of parenting a child with special needs, and the legacy of a formidable father all shaped that journey. In these deeply personal and

of insight into how to writea nd why.
From Autumn, 1972, A Moment at Which I Became a Writer:
I sense, even now, the reverberations of a kind of shattering of my foundation and a
quick rebuild, a change at a molecular level of who I understood myself to be. No longer
someone who could look at another person without wondering what their life was like,
but someone with a new curiosity about what peoples stories might actually be.
Robin Black is the author of the story collection, If I loved you, I would tell you
this and the novel Life Drawing, both critically acclaimed, and both published in
multiple languages. She has developed a loyal, enthusiastic following for her essays on life and writing, online and in such publications as the New York Times,

Whos Afraid of Helen of Troy
An Essay on Love
David Lazar
David Lazar extends the language of prose poetry, mixing the classical and the
high modern, the song and dance man and the Odyssean. Nothing, he finds, is as
far apart as we think, except for the chaos and order, innocence and experience.
Lazars voice is a sacred last resort: somethings gotta give.
The voice in these poems is semi-autobiographical and performative: masked
yet emotionally raw. Each poem draws on the features of modernist poetry, using
an arch, cadenced sentence as its primary unit, but drawing on the Iliad, Odyssey,
and other classical myths as part of its internal cosmos.

Walking the Dog
Elizabeth Swados
After two decades in prison, an ex-radical navigates reentry

in New York by walking a series of high-strung, wealthy pooches.
Whimsy and depression have rarely been so purely and movingly juxtaposed. . . .
Sometimes humorous, often harrowing, always compassionate.Elle magazine
on My Depression
Former child prodigy and rich-g irl kleptomaniac, Esterrenamed into the gentile Carleen for her own protectionis incarcerated after a botched heist. For
two decades, time is the enemy. Her twenties and thirties crawl by in stifling
isolation. When finally let loose onto the streets of New York, she finds a job
wrestling spoiled canines as a dog walker in Manhattans most elite neighborhoods, relating better with their brutish instincts than with their human owners.
Determined to also prove herself a real person, Carleen tries to reconnect with
her estranged and ferociously Orthodox daughter.
Amid the strained brunch dates, unsent letters, and the continuing trauma
of prison, Carleen begins a slow and halting process of self-d iscovery. Strikingly
funny and self-aware, this belated coming-of-age novel asks the question: How
do you restart after crashing your first chance at life?
Perhaps best known for her Broadway hit Runaways, Elizabeth Swados has
composed, written, and directed for over thirty years. She has also published
novels, nonfiction, and childrens books to great acclaim, and received the Ken

Paloma Negra, Ana Castillos mother sings the day her daughter leaves home,
I dont know if I should curse you or pray for you.
Growing up as the intellectually spirited daughter of a Mexican Indian immigrant family during the 1970s, Castillo defied convention as a writer and a
feminist. A generation later, her mothers crooning mariachi lyrics resonate
once again. Castillonow an established Chicana novelist, playwright, and
scholarw itnesses her own sons spiraling adulthood and eventual incarceration. Standing in the stifling courtroom, Castillo describes a scene that could
be any mothers worst nightmare. But in a country of glaring and stacked statistics, it is a nightmare especially reserved for mothers like her: the inner-c ity
mothers, the single mothers, the mothers of brown sons.
Black Dove: Mam, Mijo, and Me looks at what it means to be a single, brown,
feminist parent in a world of mass incarceration, racial profiling, and police brutality. Through startling humor and love, Castillo weaves intergenerational stories traveling from Mexico City to Chicago. And in doing so, she narrates some of
Americas most heated political debates and urgent social injustices through the
oft-neglected lens of motherhood and family.
Ana Castillo is one of the most powerful voices in contemporary Chicana literature. She is the author of So Far from God and Sapogonia, both New York Times
Notable Books of the Year, as well as The Guardians, Peel My Love Like an Onion,
and many other books of fiction, poetry, and essays. Her newest novel, Give It to
Me won a 2014 Lambda Literary Award; her seminal collection, Massacre of
the Dreamers: Essays on Xicanisma was re-released in a twentieth anniversary
edition in November 2014; and the award-w inning Watercolor Women, Opaque

Bye Bye Blondie
Virginie Despentes
Translated by Sin Reynolds
Psychiatric institutions and class difference doom two young lovers

from the start in this dark romantic comedy.
In a wrecked modern version of a romance novel, acclaimed French writer

Virginie Despentes pokes at the simultaneous ecstasy and banality of love in
an age of psychiatry and punk.
Gloria lives in seething rage, lashing out at everyoneparticularly, a string
of bewildered boyfriendsat the local bar. But when her latest explosion leaves
her out on the street, she unexpectedly runs into famed television personality
Eric Muir. Incidentally, hes also her teenage boyfriend, and the one who started
it all.
Once upon a time, Gloria and Eric met while institutionalized, and then became a mascot couple for all those homeless and high on a noisy mix of drugs,
music, and counterculture. Now, twenty years later, Gloria is enamored by
youthful love resurrected, and determined to immortalize their story by writing a screenplay. But navigating life and love isnt any easier for the middle-aged.
Cutting deep to unearth the marriage of institutional violence and heterosexual
relationships, Bye Bye Blondie illustrates how young women are continuously
dragged down and neglected, and then dangled false offers of fame in lieu of real,
redemptive recognition.
Virginie Despentes is an award-w inning author and filmmaker, and a noted
French feminist and cultural critic. She is the author of many books, including King Kong Theory, Apocalypse Baby (winner of the 2010 Prix Renaudot), and
Vernon Subutex (winner of the Anas-Nin Prize 2015, Prix Landerneau 2015,
and Prix La Coupole 2015). She also cod irected the screen adaptations of her
controversial novels Baise-Moi and Bye Bye Blondie, and wrote the film adaptation of her novel Pretty Things, starring Marion Cotillard.

Survival
Edited by Frances Bartowski, Elena Glasberg,
and Taylor Black
Survival reimagines what it means to survive, meaning to go

beyond life, as well as the inevitable: What didnt survive?
To survive is messy, elaborate, and layered. Survival conjures hills alive with
survivalists, such misconstrued terms as survival of the fittest, the defiance
reflected in Gloria Gaynors 1980s disco anthem I Will Survive, and states of
being a survivor of abuse, war, or rape. Survivals topicality extends beyond controversies around life and death expectancy to planned life termination, and the
continuing fascination with suicide and now ecocide. Posing survival invites
the question: What didnt survive?
The newest issue of the award-w inning academic journal Womens Studies
Quarterly explores these timely questions and the untimely ethics of survival by
tracing back to classic, contemporary, and subterranean feminist texts.

A Sand Book
Ariana Reines
Ariana Reiness highly anticipated new collection of poetry

is an urgent, emotional document with mass appeal.
A Sand Book is comprised of a series of lyrical essays and poems situated in the
American southwest. Surrounded by outdoor gods, powerful natural forces, and
political upheaval, Ariana Reiness lyric forms emerge as shockingly as flora in the
desert. Her gaze pierces the thin layer of malaise that coats the everyday. As she
puts it: I say what I see / This is my power.
Like Lena Dunham reading Reines by candlelight on Instagram, you will
be affected by how well these poems describe life in 2016: Smoking crack after
yoga/ Swallowing vitamins with wine. A Sand Book utilizes the journal form to
invent a persona more drastic and authentic than any Facebook profile. Amongst
all the comings and goings, people and places, Reines pieces together a poetic
account of our geopolitical moment: both bleak and fertile, like snakes entangled
in the noon sun.
An accomplished playwright, Reines has also translated critical texts for
Semiotext(e)s Intervention series, including Tiqquns Preliminary Materials for
a Theory of the Young-Girl. Throughout her work, she advances an explicit language, one capable of breaking through glass like a rock. This is revolutionary art.
Here is the writing on the wall, written down in a book.
Ariana Reines is the author of The Cow (2006), Coeur de Lion (2007), Mercury
(2011), Thursday (2012), and The Origin of the World (2014), written for
Semiotext(e)s contribution to the Whitney Biennial. TELEPHONE (2009), her
Obie-w inning play, was commissioned and produced by The Foundry Theatre.

In 2004, Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger bought a piece of land they
came across on eBay:
It was the cheapest plot in Europe we could find for sale that day . . .
The property was located on the outskirts of a village called Dewitt.
OS Grabeland is a document of their travels to and from this strange new
propertya nd their interactions with the even stranger people living on it.
Selected by Lynne Tillman for the 2015 Fence Modern Prize in Prose, this book
is a poignant amalgamation of autobiography, fiction, and photography from
Lamprechts and Modereggers personal journeyfrom property failure to
property enlightenment. Equal parts tragic and hilarious, OS Grabeland interrogates the complex value of human curiosity.
Lamprecht and Moderegger are a collaborative duo of award-w inning artists and filmmakers; together, they make up an artistic practice also known as
eteam. In this, their first collaborative book, Lamprecht and Moderegger explore the difficulties of suddenly becoming landlords in an alien land.
As eteam, Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger have been featured at
PS1 NY, MUMOK Vienna, Centre Pompidou Paris, Transmediale Berlin, Taiwan
International Documentary Festival, New York Video Festival, International
Film Festival Rotterdam, and the 11th Biennale of Moving Images in Geneva.
eteam has received grants from Art in General, NYSCA, Rhizome, Creative
Capital and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and has been
the recipient of residencies at the CLUI, Eyebeam, Smack Mellon, Yaddo, and the
MacDowell Colony.

Buck Studies
Douglas Kearney
An engaged poet and prescient bard of American culture,

Kearney reifies blackness and maleness in hard-cut, heard language.
[Douglas Kearney] is at the other end of the century, using a multicultural voice
inflected with the concerns of what it means to be a young black man at this time and
at this place.The Los Angeles Times
Dynamic poet, performer, librettist, and professor Douglas Kearneys works
speak to those who are listening to what our living, material language has to say
about race and history. At the hub of Buck Studies is a long mash-up of the stories of Herakles, the Greek bad-man, and that of Stagger Lee, the black bad-
man. Stagger Put Work In examines the Twelve Labors Herakles performed
to atone for murdering his family through Stagger Lees murder of black man
Billy Lyons. What is enacted by this appropriation is an exhaustion of forms
gangsta rap and its antecedent, the murder ballad.
only good one dead one we scold our mirror. shouldve been dead
before Stagger wrassled it bull-headed red-blind muscle-a-muscle.
bully and bull stagger the city levee round round round.
Douglas Kearney resides in Altadena, California, and teaches at California
College for the Arts. His degrees are from Howard University and California
Institute of the Arts. He is the author of three previous poetry collections; his
work appears in many anthologies, including Role Call: A Generational Anthology
of Social and Political Black Art & Literature. His honors include a Cave Canem
fellowship, a Whiting Writers Award, and commissions from Minneapoliss

Explosion Rocks Springfield
Rodrigo Toscano
Aesthetic appreciation, stern (but loving) criticism,
and determined re-imagining of several dominant tendencies
in American avant-garde poetry of the last decade.
Explosion Rocks Springfield is eighty one-page iterations of the following line: The
Friday evening gas explosion in Springfield leveled a strip club next to a day care.
Each iteration consists of analytical-philosophic queries, lyrical diffractions,
and paranarrative documentary. Sixteen sub-topic variations appear. Every single
word of the primary thematic line is exfoliated, extended, and exploded, multiplied, in a fugal structure, seeking the effects of content density, tension, and
return. Continual re-figuration of all themata invites the reader to experience a
pleasurable engagement with a material transparency that is neither prepackaged
(found) nor fancied from thin air (inspired).

Proustiennes
Jean Frmon
Translated by Brian Evenson
Always deft, always precise, these short pieces bring the fin-de-sicle
world of Pariss belle poque into conversation with today.
Proustiennes follows Erik Saties Gnossiennesbrief, deft explorations of a

theme. Jean Frmon traces Marcel Prousts influence through hawthorns, soires,
and clairvoyance to attitudes on closure, bringing the fin-de-sicle world of
Pariss belle poque into conversation with today.
from Other and Same:
Was it because, having already seen white hawthorn, the sight of a pink hawthorn
with blossoms that were multiple rather than singular gave him the simultaneous
sense of analogy and difference, both of which have so much power over our minds?
wonders Jean Santeuil, looking for a reason for why he prefers the pink hawthorn to
every other flower.
...
Between these two poles, stretched tight, is fiction. Musils narrative framework is
a net under the feet of that aerialist of thought who successively lets go and grabs hold
of the notions which, like heaven-sent trapezes, present themselves to him one after the
other, while he measures with irony the gulf that separates the past moment from the
future one.

Sin-a-Rama
Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties
Expanded Edition
Edited by B. Astrid Daley and Adam Parfrey
In all its forbidden glory, period sleaze erotica receives an

investigation into the medium with extensive interviews and cover art.
In this entertaining and still-stimulating collection, the ways in which the vari
ous authors dealt with their work emerge with radical variety, just as different
individuals treat their more basic instincts.David Cotner, LA Weekly
Featuring contributions by Stephen J. Gertz, Jay A. Gertzman, John Gilmore,
Michael Hemmingson, Lydia Lunch, Lynn Munroe, and Robert Silverberg.
Sin-A-R ama celebrates the near-forgotten world of erotic paperbacks from
the 1960s when sex acts were described with code words, writers used pseudo
nyms, and publishers hid behind mail drop addresses. Sleaze paperbacks sold by
the million, and their unorthodox content provoked FBI investigations, court
battles, and prison sentences for the crime of obscenity. Earl Kemp, the notorious Greenleaf Books editor, provides an insiders perspective. In My Life as
a Pornographer, science fiction legend Robert Silverberg divulges how he and
other authors learned their sleaze craft.
The bizarre glories of cover artists Robert Bonfils, Gene Bilbrew, Eric Stanton,
Bill Ward and others are seen throughout in lurid color. A useful appendix reveals the actual names behind the pseudonyms, revealing both the established
and fly-by-n ight sleaze paperback operators.
The new expanded edition includes B. Astrid Daleys profiles on Occult
Sleaze, Swinging Sleaze, and the tawdry taboo stuff that sleaze literature fell
into during the 1970s.

With savage humor, Death Confetti features performance artist Jennifer Robins
autobiographical sketches of Portland, Oregon, from the grunge-era obscurity of
the 90s to its current media-darling status.
As an only child raised by reclusive grandparents in upstate New York, Robin
recalls that she felt anemic for the real. At seventeen she broke loose and made
her way to the west coast. Civilization is a nightmare-i llusion, Robin writes,
a three-d imensional spreadsheet perpetuated by machines that hypnotize meat.
In a city thats stranger than fiction, grocery-store checkers and meth-heads
loom as lost gods. Were introduced to the lady tweaker Chew Toy, who wears
moon boots and sings hair metal songs all night as she collects recyclable bottles.
Robin visits a bar where executives simulate doggie-style sex acts on the dance
floor. Then theres all the tales of late-n ight life on the citys buses and light rail.
Robin reflects on her early terror in Catholic school and phone calls with her
far-out mother, who disclosed that her gynecologist was a murderer. In the all-
too-true pages of Death Confetti, Robin remembers her life among noise musicians, junkies, and her escape from a boyfriend who insisted on reviving the lives
of hundreds of deceased fruit flies.
Death Confetti jolts the senses, and lingers like a mosquito bite to the Portland of
everybodys soul.

The Grisly Spectacle of the Grand Guignol of Paris, 18971962
Expanded Edition

Rediscover the Paris stage sensation devoted to gruesome depictions

of violence and sex, now with a color insert of posters.
Bloodcurdling shrieks, fiendish schemes, deeds of darkness, mayhem and

mutilationwe all have a rough idea of what Grand Guignol stands for. But
until now it has been hard to find out much more about it than that. According
to the American theater historian Mel Gordon, no major history of the theater
so much as mentions it, although it is a form of entertainment that held its own on
the Paris stage for more than half a century. But Mr. Gordon has made a thorough
job of filling the gap.John Gross, The New York Times
Here is the expanded edition of classic outr book, The Grand Guignol, first published in 1988 and now long out of print.
Like the original anthology, it includes an illustrated introduction to the
theater of Paris and abroad, a breakdown of its stage tricks, a summary of one
hundred plots, extensive photo documentation, Andr de Lords essay, Fear in
Literature, and two originally produced Grand Guignol scripts.
The expanded edition also contains additional graphic and textual material including a color insert of Grand Guignol posters; the 1938 autobiographical account of Maxa, the companys leading female performer entitled I Am
the Maddest Woman in the World; and the controversial playscript Orgy in the
Lighthouse.

Elephant:
The Arts & Visual 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.

Natsume So

Introduction by Haruki Murakami
Translated by Jay Rubin
It makes me very happy that I can read this novel written over a hundred years
ago as if it were contemporary and be deeply affected by it. It cannot and should
not be overlooked. It is one of my favorites.Haruki Murakami
The Miner is the most daringly experimental and least well-k nown novel of
Japanese writer Natsume Sseki. An absurdist tale written in 1908, it was in
many ways a precursor to the work of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.
Translated by Jay Rubin, and with an introduction from Haruki Murakami,
this is bound to appeal to fans of Japanese literature.

musician, octogenarian, junkie.
From a solitary childhood in Malacca and a Perth boarding school to a glittering career in Jazz-age Sydney and a defining relationship with bohemian artist

Garnet Publishing
Reading, United Kingdom
Garnet Publishing was created over two and a half decades ago and has made a name for itself producing a
wide-ranging list, including novels and trade nonfiction as well as fine art, travel, and cookery books. Its list
has been centered predominantly on Middle Eastern subject matter by Arab, Iranian, and Western authors.
Some years later, Garnet started the Ithaca Press imprint, now an established, well-respected source of
academic books in the field of Middle Eastern Studies.
In May 2015 a third imprint, Periscope, was launched to breathe new life into Garnet Publishing, with a
list of fiction and nonfiction from around the world that does not necessarily concern or emanate from the
Middle East. Periscope favors bold, distinctive voices, often in translation, and has already seen its fourth
book featured on BBC Radio 4 and its fifth long-listed for the 2015 Man Booker Prize.
Garnets attention has been trained on the development of Periscope in 2015 and 2016, with some
new Ithaca Press titles slated for release as well; the Garnet imprint will itself be relaunched in later 2016,
boasting fresh, new trade nonfiction titles with an exclusive Middle Eastern focus.

It begins with an explosion.

In a small American town in the 1930s, Amosa quiet giant of a man with
a heroic spirit and a troubled pastis partly blinded in a locomotive accident.
Aubrey, a sheltered boy whose patrician New England family employs Amos as
a handyman, rushes to his aid.
As though heralding the twentieth centurys worst cataclysm, this disaster inaugurates an epic story of war, friendship, and destiny. Over the next ten years, in
the mountains and forests of North America and on Europes bloody battlefields,
Amoss and Aubreys trajectories converge mysteriously. These chance meetings
deepen their bond and shape their lives in profound ways.
The Eye of the Day boasts a sweeping scope and a rich cast of characters that
range from tragically dispossessed souls to some of the most illustrious (and notorious) names of the last century. Riveting, action-fi lled scenes alternate with
exquisite meditations on nature, and the precarious ties that bind even the unlikeliest people together are rendered with sagacity and warmth.

The Black Coat
Neamat Imam
An unflinching, unsettling, and controversial political satire taking on

one of the most tumultuous eras in the history of Bangladesh.
A compelling tale of absurdist humour reminiscent of Bohumil Hrabal . . .

A notable contribution to a chapter of recent history too often forgotten
The Independent
In the aftermath of Bangladeshs bloody war of independence in 1971, as thousands of migrants flood the capital, journalist Khaleque Biswas begins to feel the
stirrings of disillusionment. The revolutionary spirit that had united the people
under the leadership of Sheikh Mujib, the Father of the Nation, is dissipating.
The governments response to the crisis is inadequate, and the country is sliding
into political corruption.
Uncompromising and undiplomatic, Khaleque soon loses his job. Then Nur
Hussain turns up: a simple young man from a remote village, his welfare has
been entrusted to Khaleque by a passing acquaintance. Unable to turn Nur away,
Khaleque attempts to secure him a job, but discovers that the placid fellow has no
skills or ambition. He seems adept only at impersonating Sheikh Mujib, to whom
he bears some resemblance. When the masses begin flocking to him, the authori
ties take noticewith shocking results.
This absurdist tour de force from a born storyteller brings to life the tortured
origins of modern Bangladesh, animated by humor as dark as the iconic outerwear of the title.
Neamat Imam is a Bangladeshi Canadian writer living in Edmonton. He holds
a PhD in theater studies and has taught English at universities in Bangladesh.
He has authored a play, a collection of poetry, and two novellas in Bengali. The

It is the mid-1990s, and ordinary Russians are reeling from the collapse of the
Soviet Union. Old habits clash with new money, and war rages between Russia
and the breakaway Chechen republic.
Leonid, a hard-luck truck driver, lives with his senile, military-veteran father
in Moscow and ferries shipments of illicit goods all over Russia for his Mafiya
bosses. He nurses a single wish: to leave behind the country of his birth and immigrate to the United Statest he land where dreams come true.
During a haul to the Caucasus with a cargo of vodka intended for parched soldiers on the front line of the campaign against Chechnya, Leonid and his dim-
witted sidekick take a wrong turn. They wind up in the center of the Chechen
capital Grozny, at the height of one of the cruelest bombardments of the twentieth century.
What follows will shock Leonid into confronting reality, from which he has
always averted his gaze. His well-honed cynicism will be tested along with the
survival skills he has accumulated over the years.
A cult classic in the making, this short, biting debut is a heartfelt contemplation of how we engage with our worst instincts andsometimesrise above
them. Amoral and hardened, even Leonid cannot fail to be moved by the events
he witnesses, which will change him beyond recognition.

I Stared at the Night of the City
Bakhtiyar Ali
Translated by Kareem Abdulrahman
The first major contemporary novel translated from Kurdish, by the most
pre-eminent living writer from this ever-important Middle Eastern region.
Iraqi Kurdistan at the turn of the twenty-fi rst century is a territory ruled by
strongmen, revolutionaries, fixers, bureaucrats, and the Barons who control
everything from livestock and land to Kurdish cultural life.
Defying the absolute power wielded by the Barons, a band of friends led by
an enigmatic poet embark on an odyssey to find the bodies of two lovers killed
unjustly by the authorities. The Barons respond by attempting to crush these
would-be avengersbut their real war is waged against the imagination itself,
a prized, elusive commodity to which intellectuals, merchants, political elites,
and humble workers all seek access in one way or another.
I Stared at the Night of the City is a tale of extraordinary people travelling
great distances, in their minds or with their feet. It is a lyrical interpretation of
contemporary Kurdistan, so much in the news, but so little understood. Told
by several unreliable narrators in a kaleidoscope of fragments that all eventually cohere, the novel immerses readers in the fantastic just long enough, before
wrenching them back to hard, cold real life.
Bakhtiyar Ali was born in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan, in 1960, and currently resides in Bonn, Germany. He is a novelist as well as a literary critic, essayist, and poet, and is widely considered one of the most prominent Kurdish
writers by readers in Kurdistan as well as in the Kurdish diaspora. He has published six novels, several poetry collections, and a book of essays.

In this dazzling novel set in the Ottoman Empire during the late fifteenth and
early sixteenth centuries, best-selling Turkish author Solmaz Kamuran has
brought to life a woman known to history only in glimpses.
Esther Handali (nicknamed Kiraze, or Cherry) was the widow of an
Istanbul rabbi and daughter of a family that had fled the Spanish Inquisition.
She established herself during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent as a kyra:
an intermediary between the women of the seraglio and the world outside the
harem to which they were confined. Entrusted with the worldly desires of the
sultans concubines as well as with their hopes, fears, and news of their illicit
liaisons, her connection to the Imperial Palace ended only under Mehmet III,
Suleimans great-g randson.
Esthers longevity in such a sensitive position owed much to her charisma, intelligence, and resourcefulness, as well as her ability to sidestepand manipulate
the dangerous politics of the harem. Inevitably, however, she eventually succumbed to the intrigues of the Palace: a careless indiscretion led to her downfall and persecution at the hands of a mob, with unspeakably dreadful results . . .
Solmaz Kamuran was born in 1954 in Istanbul and worked as a dentist until deciding to devote herself to her writing career. Kiraze, her first novel, sold three
hundred thousand copies in Turkey. She acquired a reputation amongst academics for her expertise in this historical period, and was invited to address the
Sorbonne at a conference on the history of Sephardic history and literature.

Krpp helps members of the downtrodden Ingrian communityethnic
Finns emigrating from Russiaadjust to their new surroundings. Thus his dream
of tranquility is regularly thwarted by Finns and Russians on both sides of the
law who know too much about him.
When he agrees to find an antique dealers missing wife, Krpp discovers the
woman is the sister of a notorious gangster; so begins his descent into a criminal

Suddenly nothing is as it wasnot least with Marja, now aware that her mans

The Changing Nature of Shii Politics
in the Contemporary Middle East
Anoushiravan Ehteshami and Mahjoob Zweiri
The book looks at the different political changes in the region
and their impact on the dynamics of Shii politics.
Relations between Sunnis and Shiis, Islams two main sects, have been tense for
generations. Yet only lately have they become confrontational. Inter-confessional
strife has increased, owing to the dynamic nature of politics in Muslim states during recent decades.
Revolution, civil war, and regime change have galvanized Shiis into direct po
litical action, regionally and internationally. Conflict between the sects has further intensified in the fallout from the Arab uprisings that began in 2011, placing
Shiis at the vertex of developments in Bahrain, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.
Yet Sunni S hii relations have been marked by cooperation as well as conflict, and this dispassionate study of Shii politics in modern times argues that
the relationship matters more to the Middle East now, and to the Muslim world,
than at any time since the demise of the Ottoman Empire.

The Al-Sabah Ruling Family and Kuwait
Meshal Al-Sabah
There are few well-known accounts of Kuwaits ruling family,

let alone by an insider.
This revealing account of one the worlds most enigmatic and affluent ruling
dynastiesby one of its own sonsis a timely argument for democracy in a
paradoxical society. Meshal Al-Sabah concedes that there are more democratic
mechanisms in place in Kuwait than in other Gulf states, but maintains that
the monarchy is not genuinely democratic. Political domination is safeguarded
through the distribution of oil revenue as welfare and economic benefits, effectively buying the support or acquiescence of the Kuwaiti people.
Yet Al-Sabah also makes the case for Kuwait as a country with vast potential, in which necessary reforms from the top down can encourage more demo
cratic and transparent government and enable Kuwait to become an example
to other states in the region. Through freedom of speech, civil rights, and political accountability, Al-Sabah argues, a more equitable and successful society
can be achieved.
He further contends that the present generation is the first to consider real
quality of life beyond simply raising material living standards, requiring a focus
on long-term solutions to inequality and other issues.
Dr. Meshal Al-Sabah directs the Washington, DC, desk at the Kuwaiti Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, Department of the Americas. He holds an MA in International

Museum of Stones
Edited by Dakin Hart
Contributions by Dakin Hart, Matt Kirsch,
and Joseph Scheier-Dolberg
Explores the place of rock and stone in human culture and history.
Museum of Stones looks at the various ways artists from across the world, and
from different civilizations and cultures, have used rock and stone in their work.
This engrossing new volume is also an important contribution to the study of influential Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), whose revolutionary ideas and use of stone still resonate today. Much of his work aimed to
restore to stone some of the liveliness, transience, and impressionability it exhibits
in nature. Noguchi believed that rock and stone have a lifecycle that they should
be allowed to experience in full, but he also recognized that they are the raw materials of technology, and that they should be used for that purposean ambivalence that shaped his work throughout his career.
As well as sculptures by Noguchi, there are over fifty works by thirty major
international artists, including Mel Bochner, Dove Bradshaw, Bruce Conner,
Jimmie Durham, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Jochen Gerz, Janine Antoni, Gabriel
Orozco, Bosco Sodi, Keith Sonnier, Stephanie Syjuco, Toshiko Takaezu, Lawrence
Weiner, and Tarek Zaki. There are stones from the ancient fortifications of
Jerusalem, rocks used by mathematicians (the Latin word calculus means a small
pebble used for counting), and fifteen Chinese rock-related objects on loan from
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including scroll paintings dating from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries.

Celebrated for his dreamlike paintings of amorous aristocrats and melancholy

actors, Antoine Watteau (16841721) also produced a number of captivating
works with military subjectspaintings and drawingsearly in his career.
They were executed when France was engaged in the costly and ultimately disastrous War of the Spanish Succession (17011714), but they look past the turbulence of battle and the heroic deeds of generals and kings to depict the more
prosaic aspects of warmarches, halts, encampments, and bivouacs. They focus
on the quiet moments between the fighting, outside of military discipline, when
soldiers could rest, daydream, smoke pipes, and play cards. Although they owe
a debt to seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish precedents, they put forward
a new, thoroughly modern vision of war in which the soldiers inner life, his
experience of war, is brought to the fore.
Watteaus Soldiers offers a new interpretation of Watteaus military works.
There is a catalogue raisonn of all Watteau works related to military subjects,
and a lively and accessible essay by Aaron Wile that explores Watteaus engagement with the cultural history of war, and the ordinary soldiers experience of it.
This visually appealing new volume is a welcome, thought-provoking study of a

Exoneree Diaries
The Fight for Innocence, Independence, and Identity
Alison Flowers
An in-depth and personal look into the lives of four people

wrongfully imprisoned for crimes they didnt commit.
Through intimate portraits of four exonerated prisoners, journalist Alison

Flowers explores what happens to innocent people when the state flings open the
jailhouse door and tosses them back, empty-handed, into the unknown. From the
frontlines of the wrongful conviction capital of the United StatesCook County,
Illinoist hese stories reveal serious gaps in the criminal justice system. Flowers
depicts the collateral damage of wrongful convictions on families and communities, challenging the deeper problem of mass incarceration in the United States. As
she tells each exonerees powerful story, Flowers vividly shows that release from
prison, though sometimes joyous and hopeful, is not a Hollywood endingor an
ending at all. Rather, an exonerees first unshackled steps are the beginning of a
new journey full of turmoil and triumph.
Based on Chicago Public Medias WBEZs yearlong multimedia seriesa
finalist for a national Online Journalism Awardthis narrative piece of investigative journalism tells profoundly human stories of reclaiming ones life,
overcoming adversity, and searching for purposeat times with devastating
consequences and courageous breakthroughs.
Alison Flowers is an award-w inning investigative journalist who focuses on social and criminal justice. In 2013, she produced a multimedia series about exonerees for Chicago Public Media and NPR affiliate WBEZ. The yearlong project was

Capitalisms Crisis Deepens
Essays on the Global Economic Meltdown
Richard Wolff
World-renowned economist Richard Wolff explores the roots of
the Great Recession and its immense impact on working people.
Praise for Richard Wolff and Democracy at Work:

Richard Wolffs constructive and innovative ideas suggest new and promising
foundations for much more authentic democracy and sustainable and equitable
development, ideas that can be implemented directly and carried forward. A very
valuable contribution in troubled times.Noam Chomsky
Richard Wolff is the leading socialist economist in the country. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about a fundamental transformation of the
ailing capitalist economy!Cornel West
Bold, thoughtful, transformativea powerful and challenging vision that takes
us beyond both corporate capitalism and state socialism. Richard Wolff at his
best!Gar Alperovitz
While most mainstream commentators view the crisis that provoked the Great
Recession as having passed, these essays from Richard Wolff paint a far less rosy
picture. Drawing attention to the extreme downturn in most of capitalisms old
centers, the unequal growth in its new centers, and the resurgence of a global
speculative bubble, Wolffi n his uniquely accessible stylemakes the case that
the crisis should be grasped not as a passing moment, but as an evolving stage in
capitalisms history.
Richard Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts,
Amherst, and a Visiting Professor at the New School in New York. Wolffs recent
work has concentrated on analyzing the causes and alternative solutions to the
global economic crisis. His groundbreaking book Democracy at Work: A Cure for
Capitalism inspired the creation of Democracy at Work, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to showing how and why to make democratic workplaces real.

What is the reality of policing in the United States? Do the police keep anyone
safe and secure other than the very wealthy? How do recent police killings of
young black people in the United States fit into the historical and global context
of anti-blackness?
This collection of reports and essays (the first collaboration between Truthout
and Haymarket Books) explores police violence against black, brown, indigenous and other marginalized communities, miscarriages of justice, and failures
of token accountability and reform measures. It also makes a compelling and
provocative argument against calling the police.
Contributions cover a broad range of issues including the killing by police of
black men and women, police violence against Latino and indigenous communities, law enforcements treatment of pregnant people and those with mental
illness, and the impact of racist police violence on parenting, as well as specific
stories such as a Detroit police conspiracy to slap murder convictions on young
black men using police informants and the failure of Chicagos much-touted
Independent Police Review Authority, the body supposedly responsible for investigating police misconduct. The title Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect?
is no mere provocation: the book also explores alternatives for keeping communities safe.
Contributors include William C. Anderson, Candice Bernd, Aaron Cant,
Thandi Chimurenga, Ejeris Dixon, Adam Hudson, Victoria Law, Mike Ludwig,

Davidson brilliantly argues the case

that Marxism should be seen as a living,
breathing, critically engaged tradition.
230
In this book of essays Neil Davidson examines Marxisms relationship to previously existing traditions (the Enlightenment), as well as the precise boundaries
of the Marxist tradition itself. With characteristic clarity and insight, he argues
that tradition should not be seen as a set of eternally valid lessons, but rather as
a set of resources from which revolutionaries can critically draw.

Marriage on the Street Corners of Tehran
A Novel Based on the True Stories of Temporary Marriage
Nadia Shahram
Set in modern Iran, this is one womans story of survival, ambition,

sex, and power while trapped in temporary marriage.
At age twelve, Ateesh is forced into an arranged marriage with an abusive man.
When she objects, she is told that she needs a mans name on her, to protect her.
While in one era that would have been the end of her story, here it is just the beginning for a young woman determined to make her own decisions. She engages
the help of other strong women who, despite worries about family honor, eventually help Ateesh obtain a divorce and enter the path to a new life that leads to
university. Learning there about modern relationships, independence and control become even more important to her. Rather than submit to the oppressive
control of another man, she decides to use men to gain independence from them.
This decision leads her to enter into multiple temporary marriages, a form
of prostitution sanctioned by society and religion through a skewed interpretation of the Koran and Islamic law. We follow Ateesh in the coming years as her
world becomes increasingly complicated and dividedone life behind closed
doors as a siqeh and another as a university student and researcher working for
womens equality.
Based on interviews conducted by the author, Ateeshs story represents the
compelling accounts of legal and cultural injustices that prevail in modern Iran.
Born in Tehran, attorney and professor Nadia Shahram planned to be the Iranian
Barbara Walters. Interrupted by the 1979 revolution, she moved to the United
States where she advocates for Muslim womens rights.

Strippers, Lies, and Spaghetti is a novel inspired by the life story of Frank
Colacurcio, who was born into the legendary Seattle-based Colacurcio organized crime family and is the nephew of strip c lub magnate Frank Colacurcio
Sr. The author grew up in a traditional Italian home full of love and centered on
family values, but as an adult, against his fathers and mothers wishes stepped
into the world of adult entertainment, expanding the family nightclub empire.
In the process this ruined the lives of hundreds of girls hoping for the promise
of easy money, only to find the ugly realities of a broken life.
Ten years later, living a lifestyle that appeared to have everything but turned
out to be incompatible with his underlying values and his view of himself as a
good Italian Catholic boy, he would be confronted with an undeniable truth
that would change the course of his life forever.
In this book, Colacurcio tells the heart of his story while being careful to
change the names and details to respect the rights of others to tell their stories,
in their time. This is a story that elicits laughter, suspense, tears, and the agony
of torn relationships. Finally, this is a story that demonstrates an incredible
human capacity for transformation that will appeal to readers everywhere.
Frank Colacurcio lives in Rocklin, California with his wife Dyan, six children,
and thirteen grandchildren.

Boy With A Knife
A Story of Murder, Remorse, and a Prisoners Fight for Justice
Jean Trounstine
One boys harrowing journey through the

criminal justice system, and his fight to reform it.
Nearly a quarter of a million youth are tried, sentenced, or imprisoned as adults

every year across the United States. On any given day, ten thousand youth are
detained or incarcerated in adult jails and prisons.
Putting a human face to these sobering statistics, Boy With A Knife tells the
story of Karter Kane Reed, who, at the age of sixteen, was sentenced to life in
an adult prison for a murder he committed in 1993 in a high school classroom.
Twenty years later, in 2013, he became one of the few men in Massachusetts to
sue the Parole Board and win his freedom.
The emotional and devastating narrative takes us step by step through Karters
crime, trial, punishment, and survival in prison, as well as his readjustment into
regular society. In addition to being a powerful portrayal of one boy trying to
come to terms with the consequences of his tragic actions, Boy With A Knife is also
a searing critique of the practice of sentencing youth to adult prisons, providing a
wake-up call on how we must change the laws in this country that allow children
to be sentenced as adults.
Jean Trounstine is the author of the highly praised Shakespeare Behind Bars:
The Power of Drama in Womens Prison (St. Martins) about her decade directing plays and teaching at Framingham Womens Prison in Massachusetts. She
has written numerous articles on prison issues for publications including Boston
magazine, the Boston Globe, Working Woman magazine, the Womens Review of
Books, and Truthout, and has been the subject of many articles, radio broadcasts
(NPR, The Connection), and TV shows (the Today Show).

In this 1959 classic, Louis Cheskin presents

his insights into human motivation as
expressed in purchasing decisions.
244
There are several competing brands on the store shelf. What will cause the shopper
to purchase one product over another? Is it the brand name, the brand-identifying
image, the design of the package, the color, or ads about the product that the consumer might have seen? In this 1959 classic, Cheskin answers these and many
other questions by presenting his insights into human motivation as expressed in
purchasing decisions. Bringing psychological insights to bear on market research,
Cheskin shows how motivations that can indicate acceptance and value of brands,
along with packaging, are the bearers of meaning for products. By investigating
these deep connections, Cheskin demonstrates how marketers can effectively position products for sale in the marketplace.
Louis Cheskin (19071981) was a marketing innovator who observed that
peoples perceptions of products were directly related to aesthetic design.
Cheskin discovered that most people make unconscious assessments of a product based on secondary sensory input associated with the product, such as its
color or shape, which contribute to a general impression which he called sensation transference. This concept revolutionized advertising and marketing.

Sarah Moon
Photographs by Sarah Moon
Edited by Brigitte Woischnik and Ingo Taubhorn
Text by Christian Cajoulle and Magali Jauffret
Publication accompanying a major retrospective
of the legend of fashion and photography.
Ethereal and elegant, Sarah Moons photographs are almost abstract in their
painterly qualities. Moonwho came to prominence in the 1970s, breaks from
the traditions of Fashion Photography choosing instead to investigate a world
of her own invention without compromise.M ichael Hoppen Gallery
The photographer known by her artists name Sarah Moon (b. 1941) grew up
in England and France. Having worked as a model in Paris for some years, she
began taking photographs in 1968. Her first campaign shots for Cacharel were
followed by countless commercial works for Dior, Chanel, Comme des Garcons,
and Christian Lacroix. Additionally, Moon photographed fashion editorials for
magazines and shot short movies and documentaries as well as the feature film
Mississippi One. She was the first woman to ever shoot for the renowned Pirelli
calendar. Recent works include photographs and a short film for Dior Homme.
Looking at Moons frequently blurred black-a nd-w hites or her pale color
photographsoften taken on Polaroid filmone is beckoned into a realm of
dreams, myths, and fears. Simultaneously, her works allude to heavenly ideals,
unknown landscapes, and enchanted cities. Her portraits of girls and women,
especially in her fashion images, appear to grant a glimpse into timelessness.
Sarah Moons works have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the
globe, including at the Center of Photography, New York, the Maison Europene
de la Photographie, Paris, the Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Royal
College of Art, London.

Photographer Per-A nders Pettersson documents the emerging African fashion industry in exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs. From 2010 to 2015 he has visited about sixteen countries, more than forty fashion events, and gotten exclusive
access to many designers on the continent.
African culture has always been seen as being influential anthropologically,
but this book shows it as a fashion presence in its own right. South Africa has an
established fashion scene and runs six fashion weeks per year; others are held
in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Angola, Nigeria, Tanzania,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, and Ghana.
African models are discovered at these eventsmany of them dream of becoming the next Naomi Campbell or Alek Wek. The middle-class and newly rich
in Africa spend their money on foreign brands but local brands are trying to
catch up, for example the Smarteez designers in Soweto, South Africa, or the
Sapeurs in Kinshasa, DRC. Some of the most talented and internationally successful African designers are Duro Olowu, David Tlale, Gavin Rajah, Thula
Sindi, Taibo Bacar, Deola Sagoe, Folake, and Lisa Folawiyo.

The Modern Kids
Photographs by Jona Frank
Introduction by Bruce Weber
Award-w inning filmmaker and photographer Jona Frank took this portrait series
at an amateur boxing club just outside of Liverpool, United Kingdom. Shirtless
and sweaty, their hands covered with big, puffy, colorful gloves, these modern
kids look timeless, but the truth is they are like any adolescent who is trying on a
role and attempting to find their place. Like the suburb of Liverpool where these
photographs were made, boxing has a foot in the past while grasping its contemporary purpose. Franks photographs provide a record of a sport and a community whose presence is slowly fading.

Photographer Leon Borensztein began his most personal project thirty years
ago when his daughter was born: Throughout my artistic career I have been
driven by the need to give voice to the unheard and unseen. This desire became
a personal passion when my daughter Sharon was born. Just after her birth I felt
there was something wrong, and slowly we learned that she was born with disabilities. I started photographing my daughter before she was born and I have
never stopped.
This fine art book offers a unique opportunity to increase awareness about
disability and the challenges of single parenthood.

Essay by Bonnie Yochelson
The Lams of Ludlow Street is an in-depth look at a family living in New York Citys
Chinatown. In an attempt to better understand his own Chinese heritage, Thomas
Holton began photographing the streets and the daily rituals of the neighborhood. However, what began as a more traditional documentary project in the
street photography genre developed into a much more intimate exploration of
a single familys life spanning a decade. It shows the Asian American immigrant
experience as well as it is the exploration of a familys turbulent history, which
everyone can relate to regardless of race or religion.

A graphic memoir of a good-for-nothing Japanese artist who has been jailed twice

Rokudenashiko (good-for-nothing girl) is a Japanese artist. She is known for
her series of decorated vulva molds, or Deco-man, a portmanteau of decorated
and manko, slang for vagina. Distributing a 3D scan of her genitalia to crowdfunding supporters led to her arrest for alleged violation of Japanese obscenity laws.

The Meaning of the Holy Quran
Complete Translation with Selected Notes
By Abdullah Yusuf Ali
One of the most widely-used and known translations of the Quran

into modern English, with 472 notes and an introduction.
The Quran is the inimitable and direct Word of God. It was revealed to the
Prophet Muhammad over twenty-three years, who faithfully transmitted it to
humanity in the seventh century. Since then the text and meaning of the Quran
has been preserved, word for word, exactly as it was fourteen hundred years ago.
It is a Book of Guidance for all mankind with a central message of Gods Oneness.
Yet, it has several layers of meaning and beauty that are easily lost in translation.
This splendid translation, originally prepared in 1934, aimed to help readers
understand the meaning of the Quran but also to appreciate its beauty and catch
something of the grandeur of the Arabic.
This is a compact and revised edition of Abdullah Yusuf Alis translation of
The Meaning of the Holy Quran in modern English. It contains the complete translation of the Quranic text and retains essential notes of Yusuf Alis exhaustive
commentary on the Quran, which enables the reader to gain a better understanding of its message and helps to reveal some of the inexhaustible depth of knowledge it contains.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (18721953) was an Indian Islamic scholar. In 1938, Yusuf
Alis translation of the Quran was published in Lahore. His translation of the
Quran is one of the most widely-k nown and used in the English-speaking world.
He died in 1953 in London, United Kingdom.

These poems tell harsh truths of hopelessness and genocide. The confusion of
children whose religion is forbidden; the ironic poverty of a lottery winner; an
alternate American history in which Columbus turns and sails awayi n deceptively simple language, we hear the protest of survivors. Indian is not a derogatory word. Its what we call ourselves.

At ten, Mary Caught-in-Between
came home from sunday school,
told every animal and bird and fish
they couldnt talk anymore,
told her drum it couldnt sing anymore,
told her feet they couldnt dance anymore,
told her words they werent words anymore,
told Raven and Coyote they werent gods anymore,
said god was a starving white man
with long hair and blue eyes and a beard
who no one loved enough to save
when they nailed him to a totem pole.

Dialogues
Juan Felipe Herrera
In forty cantos, the poet embarks on a journey of discovery

into the metaphysical meaning of Frida Kahlos artistic life.
Juan Felipe Hererras writing fuses wide-ranging experimentalism with reflections on Mexican-A merican identity . . .The New York Times
In forty cantos, the poet explores the metaphysical relationship between Frida
Kahlo, her art, her broken body, and cross-border consciousness. First published
in 1994, this early workh is sixth bookreveals a deep sense of longing for all
to be made whole again in spite of fracturesphysical, metaphorical, cultural
bestowed by the world.
Prologue: A Second Body
Think on the time it takes a scar to heal,
a river to rise an old woman to regain the tumbling
powers of her busted arms a young woman (calling
herself Frida) to re-structure her shattered vertebrae, to
be caught up with a body-cast, a second body which she
inhabits for the rest of her life; this is precious to me,
that is all.

Berries
Growing & Cooking
Jane McMorland Hunter and Sally Hughes
Berries were the food of the Olympian gods and beloved by the
Pilgrim founders, with new varieties like Haskap delighting us today.
Berries are an important food source and have been revered in literature and
history, but we take them for granted. Raspberries are red because Zeuss nurse
maid, Ida, pricked her finger on the thorns; Mark Twain immortalized huckle
berries in his novel of 1884 and Robert Frost and Sylvia Plath, amongst many
other poets, wrote on the joys of berry picking.
In the kitchen berries are all-around performers, enhancing sweet and savory
dishes. They can be preserved as jams, jellies, curds, or chutneys and bottled in
sugar or alcohol. Cakes, biscuits, and puddings are all better for the addition of
a few berries and some dishes, such as Eton Mess, fools, and clafoutis raise the
berries to starring roles themselves. This book will help you to grow all kinds of
berries. Most importantly, the book contains recipes: over fifty ways to use ber
ries in your kitchen, from Cranberry Roast Ham to Raspberry Brownies and
Blueberry Pancakes to Mulberry Gin.
Jane McMorland Hunter studied history at Edinburgh University. She has writ
ten nine books including Quinces, Growing and Cooking in the Prospect English
Kitchen series. She works as a gardener and at Hatchards bookshop in London,
England.

The Journey of the Bean
From Cacao to Chocolate
Samuel Mutter
The journey of the cacao bean, from which we make chocolate, is full of incidence.
It came from South America, the ancient Maya of Mesoamerica in the Aztec
empire, and travelled on to Spain, and then to the Caribbean, Martinique, Saint
Lucia, and the Dominican Republic. Chocolate became a valuable commod
ity, earning status through the place of the chocolate house in nineteenth-century
European politics. A book to enchant the historian, and, with a full complement
of chocolate recipes, to please the cook.

Aesthetics Meets Ethics
Safia Minney
Explore how eco-fashion centers around sustainable design

and businesses that put people, livelihoods, and sustainability
central to everything they do.
Slow Fashion offers creatives, entrepreneurs, and ethical consumers alike a

glimpse into the innovative world of the eco-concept store movement, sustainable design, and business that puts people, livelihoods, and sustainability central
to everything they do.
Safia Minney argues that the future of brick-and-mortar retail is in the best
in fair trade, sustainability, and organic products, together with vintage and second hand goods and local produce. Restorative economics, the well-being of our
planet, and our bodies and minds can be inspired by this growing sector, one that
is shaping big business.
This book curates pioneering people and projects that will inspire you to be
part of the change. International names include Livia Firth, Zandra Rhodes,
and Lily Cole. American change-makers include Andrew Morgan, filmmaker
(The True Cost, a ground-breaking documentary that asks us each to consider
who pays the price for our clothing), and Dana Geffner (Fair World Project).
With full-color photography and elegant design, Slow Fashion profiles the
people bringing the alternatives to the mainstream: designers, labels, and eco-
concept stores across the world; fair trade producers; campaigns that are re-
designing the fashion economy; and the fibers and fabrics which are making a
difference.
Safia Minney is founder and CEO of fair trade and sustainable fashion label
People Tree. She has turned a lifelong interest in environment, trade, and social
justice issues into an award-w inning social business. She is widely regarded as
a leader in the Fair Trade movement and has been awarded Outstanding Social

the only constant is changefood for thought about which aspects of technology
we should embrace, what we should unequivocally reject, and the many facets of
the digital era that we should now be debating.

Smart. Simple. Sustainable. New directions for green building.
Buildings and their associated systems are the largest source of greenhouse gases

North American construction by 2030 while achieving a 50 percent reduction in
carbon emissions from existing buildings. With less than 4 percent of commercial and residential structures in the United States and Canada certified by 2015,

Complete Step-by-Step Construction,
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Erica Wisner and Ernie Wisner
Home heating thats safe, clean, efficient,

and uses 70 to 90 percent less fuel than a typical woodstove.
Heating with wood is often considered a natural and economical alternative to

electricity or fossil fuels. However, even with a fairly new and efficient woodstove,
many cords of wood are required for burning over the course of a single winter,
and incomplete combustion can contribute to poor air quality. A rocket mass
heater is an earthen masonry heating system which provides clean, safe, and efficient warmth for your home, all while using 70 to 90 percent less fuel than a traditional woodstove.
These unique and beautiful installations provide luxurious comfort yearround. In cold weather a few hours of clean, hot burning can provide twenty or
more hours of steady warmth, while the units large thermal mass acts as a heat
sink, cooling your home on sizzling summer days. Packed with hard-to-fi nd information, The Rocket Mass Heater Builders Guide includes:
Comprehensive design, construction, and installation instructions
combined with detailed maintenance and troubleshooting advice
Brick-by-brick layouts, diagrams, and architectural plans augmented with
detailed parts drawings and photographs for clarity
Relevant and up-to-date code information and standards to help you
navigate the approval process with local building departments
Earthen masonry heating systems are well-suited for natural and conventional
builders alike. A super-efficient, wood-burning, rocket mass heater can help you
dramatically reduce your energy costs while enhancing the beauty, value, and
comfort of your home.
Erica Wisner and Ernie Wisner have built over seven hundred super-efficient,
clean-burning masonry stoves. They are dedicated to the search for sustainable
solutions and the hands-on teaching of creative, ecological, and practical skills.

Animal Internet
Nature and the Digital Revolution
Alexander Pschera
Translated by Elisabeth Lauffer
A bold and surprising exploration of how a new digital revolution
will transform human ties with the natural world.
An original book that goes against the trend to stubbornly keep nature and technology divided from one another.Der Spiegel
Animal Internet is one of the most interesting books that Ive read in recent
years.Bavarian Radio
What Pschera describes sounds futuristic but its already widespread reality. . . .
Pscheras book is not just popular science: he describes not only the status quo, but
also thinks about an ongoing transformation.W ired.de
Some fifty thousand creatures around the globeincluding whales, leopards,
flamingoes, bats, and snailsa re being equipped with digital tracking devices.
The data gathered and studied by major scientific institutes about their behavior
will warn us about tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, but also radically transform our relationship to the natural world. With a broad cultural and
historical perspective, this book examines human ties with animals, from domestic pets to the soaring popularity of bird watching and kitten images on the
web. Will millennia of exploration soon be reduced to experiencing wilderness
via smartphone? Contrary to pessimistic fears, author Alexander Pschera sees
the Internet as creating a historic opportunity for a new dialogue between man
and nature.
Foreword by Martin Wikelski, Director, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology.
Alexander Pschera, born in 1964, has published several books on the Internet
and media. He studied German, music, and philosophy at Heidelberg University.
He lives near Munich where he writes for the German magazine Cicero as well as
for German radio.

The Last Supper
The Plight of Christians in Arab Lands
Klaus Wivel
Translated by Mark Kline
A journey through the Middle East, investigating the often-overlooked
plight of the beleaguered Christian minority living there.
A central question that animates Wivel is why those in the West, who profess a belief in such universal values as freedom and equality, have not done
more to defend the human rights of this severely beleaguered minority.

In 2013, alarmed by scant attention paid to the hardships endured by the 7.5million Christians in the Middle East, journalist Klaus Wivel traveled to Iraq,
Lebanon, Egypt, and the Palestinian territories on a quest to learn more about
their fate. He found an oppressed minority, constantly under threat of death and
humiliation, increasingly desperate in the face of rising Islamic extremism and
without hope that their situation will improve, or anyone will come to their aid.
Wivel spoke with priests whose churches have been burned, citizens who feel
like strangers in their own countries, and entire communities whose only hope
for survival may be fleeing into exile. With the increase of religious violence in
the past few years, this book is a prescient and unsettling account of a severely beleaguered religious group living, so it seems, on borrowed time. Wivel asks, why
have we not done more to protect these people?
Klaus Wivel is a Danish journalist who has been the New York correspondent for
Weekendavisen, one of Denmarks most prestigious newspapers. He has written
on a wide range of topics, with a focus on the Middle East.

Growing a Life
Teen Gardeners Harvest Food, Health, and Joy
Illne Pevec, PhD
Candid interviews with teens from disadvantaged neighborhoods,

plus supporting studies, show how gardening programs grow
healthier minds, bodies, and communities.
Part engaging conversation, part comprehensive fieldwork, Growing a Life demonstrates just how influential school and community gardening programs can
be for adolescents. Readers follow author Illne Pevec as she travels from rural
Colorado to inner New York City, and from agrarian New Mexico to urban
Oakland, California, to study remarkable youth gardening programs for at-r isk
teens. Expressive candid interviews with more than eighty students, substantiated by relevant neuroscience research and a framework of positive psychology,
explain the life-a ltering physical and emotional benefits of gardening.
As students share their experiences tending the soil and the plants, feeding
their families and their communities, and guiding younger children, readers are
given the opportunity to examine the largely unexplored topic of mentored urban
gardening. Growing a Life will inspire educators, community leaders, and youth to
team up and establish community gardens where they do not already exist and to
involve youth in existing gardens.

The Gilded Chalet
Off-Piste in Literary Switzerland
Padraig Rooney
From Byron to Borges, from James Joyce to James Bond,

from Hemingway to Hesse to Highsmith.
Praise for Padraig Rooney:

A master of prose rhythm, which I find exciting.A nthony Burgess
With a sharp eye for detail and a historians capacious knowledge, Padraig
Rooney has written a superbly amusing guide to all the writers whove been
drawn to or emerged from Switzerland.Edmund White
In the summer of 1816 paparazzi trained their telescopes on the goings on of
poets Byron and Shelleyand their womenfolkacross Lake Geneva. Mary
Shelley babysat and wrote Frankenstein. Byron dieted and penned The Prisoner
of Chillon. His doctor, Polidori, wasdreaming up The Vampyre. Together they
put Switzerland on the map.
From the famous visit of Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, and friends that yielded
three gothic masterpieces to the literary giants like James Joyce and Vladimir
Nabokov who stayed for many years, Switzerland has provided a haven for writers as an escape from world wars, oppression, infirmity and scandal.
The detective thriller, the spy novel, the Bond brand, and a noir sensibility have
a long and illustrious engagement with Switzerland and its secretive landscape
from Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls to John Le Carrs The Constant
Gardener.
Award-w inning author Padraig Rooney goes on an eye-opening journey
in search of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the Romantics, refugee writers, the spies
and detectives, bright young things of the twenties and the fallout of the low, dis
honest decade, the mad and bad . . . everyone who has given pause to this immortal landscape and to its romance.
Padraig Rooney was born in Ireland and studied at Maynooth College and at
the Sorbonne. His books include In The Bonsai Garden, which won the Patrick
Kavanagh Award for Poetry, and The Escape Artist, which won the Poetry Business
Competition. He won the Strokestown International Poetry Prize in 2009. He
divides his time between Boston, Massachusetts, and Basel, Switzerland.

In the first book to consider the Netherlands and its history from a modern perspective, author Ben Coates explores the length and breadth of his adopted homeland and discovers why one of the worlds smallest countries is so fascinating and
significant.
It is a self-made country, the Dutch national character shaped by the ongoing
battle to keep the water out, from its love of dairy and beer to its attitude towards
nature, and its famous tolerance.
Ben Coates investigates what makes the Dutch the Dutch, why the
Netherlands is much more than Holland, and why the color orange is so important. Along the way he reveals why they are the worlds tallest people, and manage to be richer than almost everyone else despite working far less.
He also discovers a country which is changing fast, with the Dutch now questioning many of the liberal policies which made their nation famous.
A personal portrait of a fascinating people, a sideways history and an entertaining travelogue, Why The Dutch are Different is the story of an Englishman who
went Dutch, and loved it.
Ben Coates has worked as a political advisor, corporate speechwriter, lobbyist,
and aid worker, and has written articles for numerous publications including the
Guardian, Financial Times, and Huffington Post. He currently lives in Rotterdam
with his Dutch wife and works as an advisor for The One Acre Fund, an inter

One of Us Is Sleeping
Josefine Klougart
Translated by Martin Aitken
A best-selling novel of a failed relationship; about leaving

and being left behind, loss, hopelessness, and light.
Scandinavia now has its own Virginia Woolf. Few get as close to the human mind
as Klougart.Mari Nymoen Nilsen, VG
The English-language debut from one of Denmarks most exciting, celebrated
young writers, One of Us Is Sleeping is a haunting novel about loss in all its forms.
Working in the vein of Anne Carson, Josefine Klougarts novel is both true-
to-life and incredibly poetic in its relating of a brief, intense love affair and the
grief and disillusionment that follow its end. While she recounts the time with
her lover, the narrator is also heading back home, where her mother is dying of
cancer. This contrast between recollection and the belief that certain things will
always be present in your lifeyour parents, your childhood home, your love
and the fact that life is a continual series of endings runs throughout the book,
underpinning the striking imagery and magnificent prose.
A powerful novel that earned Klougart numerous accolades and several award
nominationsi ncluding the Readers Book AwardOne of Us Is Sleeping marks
the launch of a major new voice in world literature.
Josefine Klougart has been hailed as one of Denmarks greatest contemporary
writers. She is the first Danish author ever to have two of her first three books
nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. Shes been compared to a
range of authors, including Joan Didion, Anne Carson, and Virginia Woolf.
Martin Aitken has translated dozens of books from the Danish, including works
by Dorthe Nors, Jussi Adler-Olsen, Peter Heg, and Kim Leine, among others.

Bardo or Not Bardo
Antoine Volodine
Translated by J. T. Mahany
Humorous envisioning of the afterlife described in the Book of the Dead,
one populated by militant monks and hapless wanderers.
Irreducible to any single literary genre, the Volodinian cosmos is skillfully

crafted, fusing elements of science fiction with magical realism and political
commentary.Nicholas Hauck, Music & Literature
One of Antoine Volodines funniest books, Bardo or Not Bardo takes place in his
universe of failed revolutions, radical shamanism, and off-k ilter nomenclature.
In each of these seven vignettes, someone dies and has to make his way
through the Tibetan afterlife, also known as the Bardo. In the Bardo, souls wander for forty-n ine days before being reborn, helped along on their journey by the
teachings of the Book of the Dead.
Unfortunately, Volodines characters bungle their chances at enlightenment, with the recently dead choosing to waste away their afterlife sleeping, or
choosing to be reborn as an insignificant spider. The still-l iving arent much better off, making a mess of things in their own ways, such as erroneously reciting a
Tibetan cookbook to a lost comrade instead of the holy book.
Once again, Volodine has demonstrated his range and ambition, crafting a
moving, hysterical work about transformations and the power of the book.
Antoine Volodine is the primary pseudonym of a French writer who has published twenty books under this name, several of which are available in English
translation, such as Minor Angels, and Writers. He also publishes under the names
Lutz Bassmann and Manuela Draeger.
J. T. Mahany is a graduate of the Master of Arts in Literary Translation Studies
program at the University of Rochester and is currently studying for his MFA at
the University of Arkansas.

Available for the first time in English, Abahn Sabana David is a late-career masterpiece from one of Frances greatest writers.
Late one evening, David and Sabanamembers of a communist group
arrive at a country house where they meet Abahn, the man theyve been sent to
guard and eventually kill for his perceived transgressions. A fourth man arrives
(also named Abahn), and throughout the night these four characters discuss existential ideas of understanding, capitalism, violence, revolution, and dogs, while
a gun lurks in the background the entire time.
Suspenseful and thought-provoking, Marguerite Durass novel calls to mind
the plays of Samuel Beckett in the way it explores human existence and suffering in the confusing contemporary world.
Marguerite Duras wrote dozens of plays, film scripts, and novels, including The
Ravishing of Lol Stein, The Sea Wall, and Hiroshima, Mon Amour. Shes most well-
known for The Lover, which received the Goncourt Prize in 1984 and was made
into a film in 1992. This is her third book to be published by Open Letter.

Juan Jos Saer
Translated by Hilary Vaughn Dobel
A doctor leads five mental patients to an asylum in this

meditation on exile, madness, and the writing process.

What Saer presents marvelously is the experience of reality, and the characters
attempts to write their own narratives within its excess.Bookforum
In modern-day Paris, Pichn Garay receives a computer disk containing a
manuscriptwhich might be fictional, or could be a memoirby Doctor Real,
a nineteenth-century physician tasked with leading a group of five mental patients on a trip to a recently constructed asylum. Their trip, which ends in disaster and fire, is a brilliant tragicomedy thanks to the various insanities of the
patients, among whom is a delusional man who greatly over-estimates his own
importance and a nymphomaniac nun who tricks everyoneeven the other
patientsi nto sleeping with her.
Fascinating as a faux historical novel and written in Saers typically gorgeous,
Proustian style, The Clouds can be read as a metaphor for exilea huge theme
for Juan Jos Saer and a lot of Argentine writersa s well as an examination of
madness.
Juan Jos Saer was the leading Argentinian writer of the post-Borges generation. The author of numerous novels and short-story collections (including Scars
and La Grande), Saer was awarded Spains prestigious Nadal Prize in 1987 for The
Event. Five of his novels are available from Open Letter Books.
Hilary Vaughn Dobel has an MFA in poetry and translation from Columbia
University. She is the author of two manuscripts and, in addition to Saer, she has
translated work by Carlos Pintado.

The Protagonists
Sandro Becchetti
Many celebrities of the 1970s seen through

the eyes of one of the best Italian photojournalists.
This book consists of many beautiful photographic portraits of the most famous
people from the culture of the seventies, such as Andy Warhol, Cassius Clay,
Christo, Raphael Alberti, Franois Truffaut, Henry Kissinger, Irene Papas, John
Elmore, Nathan Englander, and Julius Evola. Each photo is accompanied by a
compelling brief text written by the photographer Sandro Becchetti.
This book is valuable because the reader will appreciate the combination between photography and writing. The photographer was also a gifted writer,
capable of increasing through words the expressiveness of the people he photographed. During the seventies, Becchetti worked with the most important
Italian newspapers, such as Il Messaggero.
Another precious asset of this book is the inclusion of end pages with thinner
paper, which reproduce the pages of the newspapers in which the photographs
were published, featuring self-portraits and beautiful images of Becchettis studio in Umbria.
Sandro Becchetti (19352013) was born in Rome, Italy. He began working as a
photographer in the mid-sixties by collaborating with some of the most important
national newspapers and magazines, such as the channel RAI, the BBC, and France
Presse. His photographs were published in Life and Libration. His work as a
photojournalist focused on the social, cultural, and political changes that have
happened in Italy during the last decades. His photographs have been displayed
in many private and public collections all over the world.

This book is for those who are fond of analog still cameras and old printing

The magic world of the darkroom still has many fans who can look at this
book as a source of inspiration, to better understand both the printers and the
photographers thinking. Both have a crucial role in the choice of the best print
and it is very important to understand, through the dialogue between the
printer and the photographer, the process which leads to the final result. The
book is arranged in the following way: on the left page the printer explains a
negat ive with his practical experience, skills, and ability, while the right page displays the photo chosen and printed. The book also contains text written by the
photographers about the emotions felt during the photoshoots.
Luciano Corvaglia is an Italian printer born in Rome, Italy, in 1966. As a student he went to the Roberto Rossellini School of Arts. At twenty he began working as a photographer and printer with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

Rotten to the (Common) Core
Public Schooling, Standardized Tests, and the Surveillance State
Joseph P. Farrell and Gary Lawrence

Foreword by Catherine Austin Fitts
Here the hidden agenda behind Common Core standards and
federal government surveillance programs aimed at children are revealed.
Joseph P. Farrell, well known for his widely-discussed investigations on contemporary banks and ruling structures, co-w rites this fascinating book regarding contemporary schooling with long-t ime New York state instructor Gary Lawrence.
Say Farrell and Lawrence:
Standardized Testing in America has a troubled history. Its agenda has long remained
veiled behind expert opinions and latest studies. The future of American education
stands in a tradition of social engineering, data mining, pseudo-psychology, and dumbing down classroom strategies.
Common Core promises great advances though its true benefits are monetary ones
for software companies and partner politicians.
It it is our contention that the goal of Common Core, or rather, of its assessment
process, is nothing less than a massive addition to the power of the surveillance state, to
the privileged corporations destined to manage it, to the further drastic curtailment of
our civil liberties, and to the eventual inhibition of any individual creativity, genius, responsibility, and any general or popular intellectual culture resulting from them.
Our argument is different than that leveled by many critics against the Common
Core standards, for our focus is thus not upon pedagogy or content but rather upon its
assessment process and its implicit consequences for parents, students, and the teaching profession.
Our goal is to stimulate not only discussion of Common Cores radical agenda for
the consolidation of the surveillance state, but for its ultimate rejection.

In 1919, a Canadian teenager with a sixth grade education arrived by train to the
wilds of Los Angeles. Within a decade he had transformed himself into a world-
renowned occult scholar.
His name was Manly Palmer Hall, author of the landmark publication The
Secret Teachings of All Ages, widely regarded as the best introduction to Western
esoteric ideas, and the founder of the Philosophical Research Society, which
housed one of the biggest occult libraries in the United States.
Hall became the twentieth centurys most prolific writer and speaker on ancient philosophies, mysticism, and magic, and a confidant of Hollywood celebrities and politicians. In 1990, he died due to suspicious circumstances, which
remains an open homicide case at the Los Angeles Police Department.
This new edition contains dozens of previously unknown love letters from
his wife Marie Bauer. They are the closest we will come to an autobiographical
portrait of these Los Angeles mystics in love. A new chapter describes Halls relationship with a rogue flower-child niece, who helped manage a cocaine distribution center, from which Hall learned about and lectured on the dynamics of
this illicit drug market in Los Angeles.
Author Louis Sahagan is an award-w inning journalist for the Los Angeles Times.

In a world that is constantly changing, understanding the world has never been

King Faisal of Saudi Arabia
Personality, Faith and Times
Alexei Vassiliev
The definitive biography of one of the Arab worlds most important

rulers, who established Saudi Arabias global influence today.
A detailed and fascinating biography.The Economist

A masterpiece of scholarship. . . . [Vassiliev] has managed to bring to life
the legacy of one of Saudi Arabias most interesting and influential figures.
A noush Ehteshami, Durham University
In 1964 Faisal bin Abdul Aziz became king of a country holding a quarter of the
worlds oil reserves, also home to Mecca and Medina. He was called the most
powerful Arab ruler in centuries. Eleven years later, in front of television cameras, his nephew shot him at point-blank range.
In this authoritative biography, Alexei Vassiliev tells the story of a pious, cautious, and resolute leader who steered Saudi Arabia through a minefield of domestic problems, inter-Arab relations and the decline of Soviet influence in the
Middle East. King Faisal maintained ties with both Egypt and the United States
through two Arab-Israeli wars and the 1973 Arab oil embargo, which revolutionized the world energy market. Throughout, he staked high hopes on cooperation
with the United States, a relationship that is still vital to both countries interests.
Exhaustively researched and including original documents and interviews in
Arabic, Russian, and English, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia offers a unique perspective of this seminal figure and is key to understanding the Arab world today.
Alexei Vassiliev is Honorary President of the Institute for African Studies at
the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is the author of over forty books, including the acclaimed The History of Saudi Arabia, winner of the Choice Outstanding
Academic Book Award, and Central Asia: Political and Economic Challenges in the
Post-Soviet Era.

Sufism and Surrealism
Adonis
One of the greatest living Arab poets offers a radical exploration

of the commonalities between two seemingly disparate traditions.
Adonis is one of the most important major literary figures of our century. His
vision is extraordinary, his poetry sublime . . . a master of our times.V. S. Naipaul
The Arab worlds greatest living poet.The New York Times
At first glance, Sufism and Surrealism appear to be as far removed from one another as is possible. Adonis, however, draws convincing parallels between the two,
contesting that God, in the traditional sense, does not exist in Surrealism or in
Sufism, and that both are engaged in parallel quests for the nature of the Absolute,
through holy madness and the deregulation of the senses.
This is a remarkable investigation into the common threads of thought that
run through seemingly polarised philosophies from East and West, written by a
man Edward Said referred to as the most eloquent spokesman and explorer of
Arab modernity.

Adonis is one of the most celebrated poets and essayists of the Arab world. Born
in Syria in 1930, he fled political persecution and settled in Lebanon in the 1950s,
where he led the modernist movement in Arabic poetry. He has written more

Return to the Shadows
The Rise and Fall of the Muslim Brotherhood
Alison Pargeter
A detailed and authoritative account of the demise of the Muslim
Brotherhood by one of the leading scholars of Political Islam.
One of the best current analysts of Islamic radicalism.Jason Burke, author

of The 9/11 Wars
A brilliant and clear-eyed analyst.The Guardian UK
The Arab Spring heralded the most profound shift in the region for decades. Most
notably, it saw the emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood and affiliated movements in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. But navigating their respective countries
through difficult and painful transitions ultimately proved too challenging, and,
just as suddenly, the Brotherhood was dramatically overthrown in Egypt and left
severely weakened in Libya and Tunisia.
In this authoritative account, Alison Pargeter expertly charts the Brotherhoods ascent and subsequent fall from power. Based on extensive research and exclusive interviews with high ranking members of the Brotherhood and An-Nahda,
she offers the first comparative analysis of the movement, and the first detailed
study of the Brotherhood in Libya.
As the political crisis within the movement worsens, Pargeter considers the
consequences of the Brotherhoods decline on both the region and the wider
Islamist political project.
Alison Pargeter is an analyst specializing in the Middle East and North Africa.
She has held academic positions at the University of Cambridge and Kings
College, London, and is now a Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United
Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI). Her previous publications include The Muslim Brotherhood: From Opposition to Power, The New
Frontiers of Jihad: Radical Islam in Europe, and Libya: The Rise and Fall of Gaddafi.

Allegheny Front
Matthew Neill Null
PEN/O. Henry Prizewinning author Matthew Neill Nulls lyrical and

disquieting stories offer a panoramic portrait of his native West Virginia.
Allegheny Front has few sentimental trappings. . . . Mens stubbornness is a rock

face, in these intelligent and unpretentious stories, their anger a crown fire, their
occasional tenderness a rill. . . . It remains at a distance from judgment, at a remove
from easy definitions, unspooling a lucid and often painful history of appetite,
exploitation, and bereavement.Lydia Millet, from the introduction
Rich in history, speech, incident, flora, fauna, vernacular, geology, politics
Matthew Neill Nulls work is dazzling. . . . If anything ever happened in the state
of West Virginia, Null knows the long and short of it, and will make its story sing.
Salvatore Scibona
Set in the authors homeland of West Virginia, this panoramic collection of sto
ries traces the people and animals who live in precarious balance in the moun
tains of Appalachia over a span of two hundred years, in a disappearing rural
world. With omniscient narration, rich detail, and lyrical prose, Matthew Neill
Null brings his landscape and characters vividly to life.
Matthew Neill Null is the author of the novel Honey from the Lion (Lookout
Books). A graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop and a winner of the
PEN/O. Henry Award, his short fiction has appeared in Oxford American,
Ploughshares, Mississippi Review, American Short Fiction, Ecotone, and elsewhere.
He divides his time between West Virginia and Provincetown, Massachusetts,
where he coordinates the writing fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center.

Louisa Ermelino
Louisa Ermelinos stories follow strong-willed women

on adventures at home and abroad, from boisterous
Italian-American neighborhoods to India and Afghanistan.
There is lyricism in the language of Ms. Ermelinos splendid collection that lulls
us, line after seductive line, from the mundane to the menacing. Malafemmena
is the work of a bold and original writer.Gay Talese
What Louisa Ermelino knows about the heart could fill a book and has. The
unadorned authenticity of her prose is so powerful, it gave me whiplash. I read
Malafemmena in one sitting and wanted more, more, more.The writers a genius,
or an alchemist, or maybe both.Patricia Volk, author of Stuffed and Shocked
Louisa Ermelino is a gorgeous writer and master storyteller. Imagine a cross
between Maugham and The Sopranos. She captures the madness, comedy, vio
lence, and superstition of domestic life in NYCs Little Italy, but also takes us all
over the worldJakarta, India, Turkeywhere her characters stumble in and
out of heartbreak and trouble. This book is irresistible. I loved it.Delia Ephron
Louisa Ermelinos vibrant stories follow women living dangerously near and
far. At home in New York, they break ancient Italian taboos and fall victim to
mobsters. Overseas, they smoke opium-laced hashish and sleep with strang
ers. Ermelino delivers dynamic, memorable characters in thoroughly engross
ing prose.
Louisa Ermelino is the author of three previous novels: Joey Dee Gets Wise
(Kensington, 2004), The Black Madonna (Simon & Schuster, reprint, 2013), and
The Sisters Mallone (Simon & Schuster, reprint, 2013). She is vice president and

Sick
Gabby Schulz
The award winning author of monsters explores the political issues

that affect our personal health in his new book, Sick.
Last year, he got our attention for his disturbingly brilliant graphic novel
Monsters. . . . Gabby Schulz has gone on to create a similarly unnerving web
comic series titled Sick.F lavorwire
The author of the perennial classic Monsters (written as Ken Dahl), Gabby
Schulz returns with a new graphic novel, Sick, which Hicksville author Dylan
Horrocks calls a punch in the face and well worth reading. Like Monsters,
Sick focuses on health and social policy, this time expanding from the subject
of STDs and their stigma to the larger, hot-button issue of national healthcare.
Severely ill, uninsured, alone, and confined to his bed for weeks, Schulz was
left searchingonly to find himself. Sick documents his discovery in gory, glorious, water-colored detail, finally completed and collected here for the first time
in a beautiful, album-sized hardcover edition.
Since Monsters, Schulz has produced a host of online comics including
SEXISM, a viral sensation written up everywhere from the Stranger to Scientific
American. The web-serialized Sick was an Ignatz Award nominee for Outstanding
Online Comic. His work has appeared on narrative.ly and BuzzFeed and in Arthur
magazine.
Gabby Schulz, sometimes known as Ken Dahl, grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. His
graphic novel Monsters won two Ignatz Awards, was an Eisner Award nominee,
and was a Best American Comics selection. His other works include the collection
Welcome to the Dahl House and the web comic Sick, an Ignatz Award nominee for
Outstanding Online Comic. Schulz currently resides in Chicago, Illinois.

The Passport
Herta Mller
Translated by Martin Chalmers
A beautiful, haunting novel by the winner

of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

With the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, Mller depicts the
language of the dispossessed.Jury of the Nobel Prize for Literature
[Mllers] dark, closely observed and sometimes violent work often explores
exile and the grim quotidian realities of life under Ceausescu. . . . Her sensibility is often bleak, but the detail in her fiction can whip it alive.New York Times
The Passport is a beautiful, haunting novel whose subject is a German village in
Romania caught between the stifling hopelessness of Ceaucescus dictatorship
and the glittering temptations of the West. Stories from the past are woven together with the problems Windisch, the village miller, faces after he applies for
permission to migrate to West Germany. Herta Mller describes with poetic attention the dreams and superstitions, conflicts and oppression of a forgotten region, the Banat, in the Danube Plain. In sparse, poetic language, Mller captures
the forlorn plight of a trapped people.

What you are about to read is, in many ways, like nothing else you will have
read before. To foist a genre on it, its a picaresque, but what a crazed, leaping, unmoored and hilarious voyage it is . . . [a] crazed cut-up collage of wanderings and
wishes and the inevitable destruction of dreams. Tremendous.Niall Griffiths

In Raw Material, Jrg Fauser casts an eye over the times he lived in and his own
life: his time as a junkie in Istanbul, the move to a commune in Berlin and a
squat in Frankfurt, his work on an underground magazine, and his unceasing
efforts to get a novel published. The autobiographical testament of Fausers
alter ego Harry Gelb is an unsparing, razor-sharp, but often lovingly ironic
portrait of the 1960s and 70s. It is a portrait of the artist to rank with the best,
and a portrait of the ferment of Europe at that time.
Jrg Fauser was born in Frankfurt in 1944. After abandoning his studies he lived
in Istanbul and London before moving back to Germany, where he made his
living as a writer of fiction and poetry. He died in Munich in 1987.

Killer Deal
Sofie Sarenbrant
Translated by Paul Norln
Brutal murders occur tied to open-house showings in the

ostensibly idyllic and prosperous Stockholm suburb Bromma.
Sofie Sarenbrant is the most exciting rising star among Swedish crime authors
today.Camilla Lckberg, crime author
The morning after an open-house showing in a posh Stockholm suburb, a father
is found dead by his six-year-old daughter Astrid. There are no signs of a break-in,
and the murder weapon is one of the familys own kitchen knives. The only hint
that someone from the outside might be involved is that Astrid claims a strange
man stroked her cheek during the night.
Police Inspector Emma Skld takes up the case. She suspects that the mans
wife could be the culprit, but when more murders occur tied to open-house
showings, her theory is turned on its head. Whats the truth behind the events
in the ostensibly idyllic and prosperous residential area? And what is the connection between the victims?
Sofie Sarenbrant has established herself as one of Swedens most popular crime
fiction authors. She has written six novels in the Emma Skld series, which have
sold more than five hundred thousand copies. Killer Deal is her first novel to
be translated into English.

A Guide to Values and Virtues
Yoji Yamakuse
This book looks at the core life concepts and shared values that historically and
culturally define the quality of being Japanese. Among these are reverence,
love of nature, group loyalty, hierarchical respect, passion for detail, belief in
learning, formality, and acceptance of change. How can Western analogues of
these Japanese virtues help us improve our own societies and cultivate inner
strength, mindfulness, and long-lasting relationships at home and the workplace? This stimulating exploration of an alternative ethics and humanism is a
provocative workbook for decluttering the spirit.

Aboriginal Rights in Canada
Bev Sellars
Untangles truth from some of the myths about First Nations
and addresses misconceptions still widely believed today.
Awards for Bev Sellarss They Called Me Number One: Secrets and Survival at
an Indian Residential School:
2014 George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature
2014 Burt Award for First Nations, Mtis, and Inuit Literature, third prize
Shortlisted for the 2014 Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize (British Columbia Book
Prizes)
More than forty weeks on the British Columbia bestsellers list in 2013 and 2014!
Price Paid: Aboriginal Rights in Canada is the second book by award-w inning
author Bev Sellars. Based on a popular presentation Sellars often gave to treaty-
makers, politicians, policymakers, and educators, Price Paid relates Canadian
history from a First Nations point of view.
The book begins with glimpses of foods, medicines, and cultural practices
North Americas indigenous peoples have shared with the rest of the world. It
documents the dark period of regulation by racist laws during the twentieth century, and then discusses new emergence in the twenty-fi rst century into a re-
establishment of Indigenous land and resource rights. The result is a candidly told,
personal take on the history of Aboriginal rights in Canada.
Bev Sellars was first elected chief of the Xatsull (Soda Creek) First Nation in
Williams Lake, British Columbia, in 1987. She has spoken out on behalf of her
community on racism and residential schools and on the environmental and social threats of mineral resource exploitation in her region. Having earned a degree
in history from the University of Victoria and a law degree from the University of
British Columbia, she has served as an advisor to the B.C. Treaty Commission.

Growing up in the bush, Gerald Murnane became obsessed with horse racing. He
had never ridden a horse, nor seen a race, and he had no interest in gambling. Yet
he was entranced by the pictures in the Sporting Globe, the horses racing colors,
their namesthe incantation of them in radio broadcasts of race commentary
from towns near and far. Murnane discovered in these races more than he could
find in religion or philosophy. They were the gateway to a world of imagination.
Murnane is like no other writer, and Something for the Pain is like no other
Murnane book. In this unique and spellbinding memoir, he tells the story of his
life through the lens of horse racing. It is candid, witty and movinga treat for
lovers of literature and of the turf.
Gerald Murnane was born in Melbourne in 1939. His acclaimed debut novel,
Tamarisk Row, was published in 1974 and was followed by nine other works of fiction, the most recent of which is A Million Windows. In 1999 Murnane won the

To the Islands
Randolph Stow
Introduction by Bernadette Brennan
The haunting and beautiful tale of an aged missionarys final days.

A psychic drama of pride, guilt, atonement, and self-discovery.
Exhausted and losing faith, an Anglican minister flees his mission in Australias
northwest for the vast emptiness of the outback. In the desert he reflects on past
transgressions and on his lifes work.
To the Islands, a Lear-like tale of madness and destruction, was published
when its author was only twenty-t wo. A poetic masterpiece, it was awarded the
1958 Miles Franklin Literary Award and the Australian Literature Societys
Gold Medal.
The work of Randolph Stow is as original in the Australian literary tradition
as William Faulkner in the American tradition. He has been hailed as the least
visible figure of that great twentieth-century triumvirate of Australian novelists
whose other members are Patrick White and Christina Stead.
Text is re-releasing five of Stows major works under the Text Classics imprint,
with introductions by key figures in Australian literature.
Randolph Stow was born in 1935. While at university he sent his poems to a
British publisher, and the resulting collection won the Australian Literature
Societys Gold Medal in 1957. He worked briefly as an anthropologists assistant in New Guinea, returning to Australia after he fell seriously ill. In the 1960s
he lectured at universities in Australia and England, and lived in America on a
Harkness fellowship. Stow died in 2010.

Introduction by Kerryn Goldsworthy
Laid low by a tropical disease, Crispin Clare returns home to East Anglia. Local

The Suburbs of Hell

Randolph Stow
Afterword by Michelle de Kretser
Far more than a murder mystery, The Suburbs of Hell is a profoundly disturbing

an atmospheric thriller from one of Australias most significant writers.

John
Annie Baker
A haunting and quietly devastating new play by the
Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Flick.
Annie Bakers John is so good on so many levels that it casts a unique and bril
liant light. . . . By not rushing thingsby letting the characters develop as gradu
ally and inevitably as rain or snowfallBaker returns us to the naturalistic but
soulful theatre that many of her contemporaries and near-contemporaries have
disavowed in their rush to be postmodern.The New Yorker
John, like any great play, raises a lot of questionsnot just about the human ex
perience, but also about the state of contemporary theater. It does not provide
many answers; it is not the playwrights responsibility to do so. . . . In John she
co-opts the viewer for her own aesthetic use, heightening the tension onstage
and deepening the quiet relationships between her characters. Through John,
she displays an understanding that the audience is part of the theatrical experi
ence, an inevitability as certain as a Chekhovian gun.Slate
The week after Thanksgiving. A bed and breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A
cheerful innkeeper. A young couple struggling to stay together. Thousands of inanimate
objects, watching.
The description by the playwright of the setting is simple, but Annie Bakers
compelling new work is revolutionary in theme and structure and challenges
the boundaries of what theatre can be. A kind of magical super-realism perme
ates throughout this quietly evolving tale, with both the actors and the audience
fully vested together in a mesmerizing exploration of the frailty and loneliness of
human experience.
Annie Bakers works include The Flick (Pulitzer Prize), The Aliens (Obie Award),
Body Awareness, Circle Mirror Transformation (Obie Award), Nocturama, and an
adaptation of Anton Chekhovs Uncle Vanya. Her work has been produced at more

Eclipsed
Danai Gurira
A tale of survival and companionship in war-torn Liberia

from an Obie Awardwinning playwright.
[Eclipsed is] a surprisingly vivacious portrait of helplessness, of the entirely

human impulse to adapt, to get by even when theres little hope life will get better.
Washington Post
Eclipsed depicts the harsh realities of womens lives in a strife-torn African coun
try with both a clear eye and a palpable empathy.New York Times
Four women in Liberia struggle to survive conditions on a rebel army base. Held
as the concubines of a warlord, each wife must find her own means of coping
amidst a situation that appears hopeless. With frail, fractured identities born
from an ongoing, senseless civil war, the women build their own contained world
to guard against the chaos outside. This enthralling work from award-winning
playwright and actress Gurira demonstrates the human capacity to endure, even
in the most desolate of circumstances.

Prodigal Son
John Patrick Shanley
A harrowing new coming-of-age tale from the

Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright of Doubt.
What I admire most is that his plays are beautifully well made, economical,
sharp and coherent. Hes not a misanthrope, but hes in pursuit of why people be
have as badly as they do along with having a great compassion for them. Thats an
unusual and interesting combination.Tony Kushner, on John Patrick Shanley
When a troubled but gifted boy from the South Bronx finds himself shipped off
to a private school in New Hampshire, the adjustment to the alien environment
will lead to his ultimate dissolution or redemption. Teachers in the affluent insti
tution do not know what to make of the new boisterous student, though the chal
lenge really lies in his self-perception. Like his most celebrated play, Doubt, the
author has based this new work on his own personal experiences of growing up as
a teenager in the South Bronx and his time spent at a prep school in New England.
Shanley has created an elemental study of a youngs man search for his place in
the world.
John Patrick Shanleys plays include Outside Mullingar, Danny and the Deep Blue
Sea, Savage in Limbo, and Dirty Story, along with his Church and State trilogy,
Doubt, Defiance, and Storefront Church. For his play Doubt, he received both the
Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He has nine films
to his credit, including the five-t ime Oscar-nominated Doubt, and Moonstruck,
which received the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The Writers
Guild of America awarded Shanley the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award in
Writing.

A touching portrayal of compassion passed down through two generations in a

racially-torn continent, Athol Fugards latest play centers around Nukain and
Bokkie, an elderly African painter and his young protg. The Painted Rocks at
Revolver Creek observes two differing experiences with racism, in the decades
during and following apartheid, while ultimately illuminating the meaning of
preserving the history of ones own past. Within the span of his illustrious and
widely-l auded work as a playwright, Athol Fugard has shed light on the loom
ing shadow of apartheid and its resulting dissolution of society and politics in
South Africa. This contemplative new work follows that legacy, asking us not to
forget its relevance in the modern day.
Athol Fugard has been working in the theatre as a playwright, director, and actor
for more than fifty years. His plays include The Shadow of the Hummingbird, Blood

An evocative new drama from an admired

and award-winning playwright.
Naomi Wallace commits the unpardonable sin of being partisan, and, the dark

Wallace is that unfashionable thinga deeply political US playwright who un
ashamedly writes about ideas rather than feelings.The Guardian

the timeless subject of love and relationships, specifically in their tenuousness.
This story of a seemingly ideal married couple is torn apart when the husbands
previously unknown birth mother makes a surprise visit for his fortieth birthday.
In Night is a Room, Wallace examines the heart of human connections, and the
intimate challenges love can create, romantic or otherwise.

A new version of Ibsens classic, adapted by a renowned playwright.
In [Wilders] A Dolls House . . . the relationship of dialogue to action is very

special, like nothing that had been heard on stage before.David Hammond,

Not staged since its Broadway premiere starring Ruth Gordon in 1937, the first-
ever publication of this adaptation of Henrik Ibsens classic drama is revitalized
through the shrewd lens of American drama master, Thornton Wilder. With his
famous, clarifying dialogue, Wilder uproots this classic from Norway and fun
nels it through an American lens. The marriage of Ibsens famed naturalistic style
melds with Wilders knack for emotional nuance to create a rich, demonstrative
edition of the revered standard A Dolls House.

This is a play about pornography. It is an intervention. It is an interrogation. It

of the various protests and anger over the sexist media portrayals of the female
body. A new work from one of the most original emerging writers of recent times.

A dark and uncompromising play about romance, expectation and mortality,
Ross & Rachel tells the story of what happens when two friends who were always
meant to be together, get togetherand stay together. This duologue for one per

The Reactive
Masande Ntshanga
Heralded in South Africa as the hottest novel of the year,

The Reactive is a clear-eyed, compassionate, and unforgettable debut.
A seminal work confronting [a] period in our countrys history.

The Sunday Independent
Elegiac . . . radiating with understanding and compassion.City Press
With a fine lyricism of style Ntshanga weaves a story both filled with ennui and
weird purpose. And if that sounds unlikely, it is a feat he pulls off with brilliance.
The New Age
From the winner of the PEN International New Voices Award comes the story
of Lindanathi, a young HIV+ man grappling with the death of his brother, for
which he feels unduly responsible. He and his friendsCecelia and Ruan
work low-paying jobs and sell anti-retroviral drugs (during the period in South
Africa before ARVs became broadly distributed). In between, they huff glue,
drift through parties, and traverse the streets of Cape Town where they observe
the grave material disparities of their country.
A mysterious masked man appears seeking to buy their surplus of ARVs, an
offer that would present the friends with the opportunity to escape their environs, while at the same time forcing Lindanathi to confront his path, and finally,
his past.
With brilliant, shimmering prose, Ntshanga has delivered a redemptive, ambitious, and unforgettable first novel.
Masande Ntshanga is the winner of the 2013 PEN International New Voices
Award, as well as a Finalist for the 2015 Caine Prize for African Writing. He was
born in East London in 1986 and graduated from the University of Cape Town.

Jacob Bladders and the State of the Art
Roman Muradov
The ink-smeared story of a misplaced illustration
set in a Blakean vision of 1940s New York.
Jacob Bladders: illustrator, braggart, and victim of assault by thugs sent by the
mysterious Charlie. Part satire of commercial art, part noirish detective story,
part puzzle to be solved or left in pieces. Roman Muradovs latest is an ink-
smeared, Blakean vision of 1940s New York where Twitter exists as a network of
pneumatic tubes, but artwork is still delivered by hand.
Roman Muradov was born in Moscow, Russia. He now resides in San Francisco,
California. As an illustrator he has worked for Vogue, Random House, the New
Yorker, the New York Times, and Penguin. In 2013, Muradov received a Gold
Medal from the Society of Illustrators. His first book, (In a Sense) Lost and
Found, was published last year by Nobrow Press.

Olio
Tyehimba Jess
With ambitious manipulations of poetic forms, Jess presents the sweat

and story behind Americas blues, worksongs, and church hymns.
Jesss work displays a deep sense of cool black consciousness, especially in regard
to musicality. He works with an expressive tradition that blends sensibilities of
field holler, spiritual encodings, gospel moan and groan, work song cadence, blue
notes, and jook joint jazz.Howard Ramsby II, Souwester
Part fact, part fiction, Tyehimba Jesss much-anticipated second book weaves
sonnet, song, and narrative to examine the lives of mostly unrecorded African
American performers, musicians, and artists directly before and after the Civil
War up to World War I. Olio is an effort to understand how they met, resisted,
complicated, co-opted, and sometimes defeated attempts to minstrelize them.
So, while I lead this choir, I still find that
Im being led... Im a missionary
mending my faith in the midst of this flock...
I toil in their fields of praise. When folks see
these freedmen stand and sing, they hear their God
speak in tongues. These nine dark mouths sing shelter;
they echo a hymns haven from slaverys weather.
Detroit native Tyehimba Jesss first book of poetry, leadbelly, was a winner of
the 2004 National Poetry Series. Jess, a Cave Canem and NYU Alumni, has received fellowships from the Whiting Foundation, National Endowment for the
Arts, Illinois Arts Council, and the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center. Jess is
also a veteran of the 2000 and 2001 Green Mill Poetry Slam Team. He exhibited
his poetry at the 2011 TedX Nashville Conference. Jess is Associate Professor of
English at College of Staten Island.

Choi writes about violence and injustice in modalities that are neither sentimental, obvious, or pornographic.Forrest Gander
In Hardly War, Don Mee Chois major second collection defies history, national
identity, and militarism. Based on artifacts from Chois father, a professional photographer during the Korean and Vietnam wars, she combines memoir, image,
and opera to explore her paternal relationship and heritage. Here poetry and geopolitics are inseparable twin sisters, conjoined to the belly of a warring empire.

Come In Alone
Anselm Berrigan
For Brooklyn poet Anselm Berrigan, the political arrives in pieces, settling across
his sprawling poems like dew or debris. Berrigan has always matched his experimental drive with a personable quality.M ichael Brodeur, Boston Globe
Anselm Berrigans voice continues be one of the most refreshing in contemporary American poetry.V irginia Konchan, Galatea Resurrects
In Come In Alone, Anselm Berrigan plays with space like a painter with the
prosody of a poet. Written as infinitely looping sentences around the page, the
poems act as a frame to space, outrunning thought with quickness, openness,
humor, and protest. They are simultaneously inviting and impermeable, making familiar language uncanny with every turn around the page.

Luminous Spaces: Olav H. Hauge:
Selected Poems & Journals
Olav H. Hauge
Translated and edited by Olav Grinde
Foreword by Bodil Cappelen
Sage and plainspoken, Hauges compact poems are equally rooted
in his western Norwegian landscape and in world literature.
During those years when I lived a truly spiritual life, they called me sick and
locked me up. Intense forces are in play in the writings of Norwegian poet and dia
rist Olav H. Hauge. His Luminous Spaces is the life work of a restless mind and
a troubled heart seeking insight into the spiritual, alert to the bleakness and
beauties of nature, and intimate with philosophy and literature. His prose is
rich, his poetry finely cut. Here is writing born of the need to know and the will
to survive. Like the conch of which he wrote, his writings record the building
of a soul to speak from solitude.Marvin Bell
Luminous Spaces spans seventy years of Olav H. Hauges poetry with over three
hundred poems, a third of which have never appeared in English. It also includes
a generous selection from his four thousand pages of journals, previously un
published in translation, and an intimate forward by his widow, Bodil Cappelen.
Ocean
This is the ocean.
All serious,
vast and grey.
Yet just as the mind
in solitary moments
suddenly opens its
shifting reflections
to secret depths
so the ocean, too,
one blue morning
may open itself
to sky and solitude.
Look, says the gleaming ocean,
I too have stars
and blue depths.

The Autobiography of Somebody Else

This book shimmers with urgency and intelligence. As the narrator pieces to
gether his identity, he must search out the ghosts of the past, including those
who have left no forwarding addresses. Along the way, there is hopeless love, po

tance that allows him to outlive his own tragedy and face the rest of his life.

Throughout its reflections on psychiatry, poetry, identity, and home, it is mostly
a love story where nobody is ever loved enough to make up for what life is. But

wise, is none other than the great Mughal poet and the beloved is everywhere on
display in this highly original, and angelic, book.Christopher Merrill
The Divan of Ghalib by Dutch poet Nachoem Wijnberg is not an imitation of
Ghalib, but written in a form that adopts some core characteristics of the ghazal.
Like Ghalib, he is not afraid of simple words and often-used symbols but uses
them afresh.
Nachoem Wijnberg has published sixteen books of poetry and five novels.
David Colmers translations include Advance Payment by Wijnberg and Even
Now, poems by Hugo Claus.

Scattering the Dark:
An Anthology of Polish Women Poets
Edited by Karen Kovacik
Wow! What a book! The tradition of womens writing that flows out of the work
of Symborska and Anna Swirt he way this mighty tradition turns in the hands
of a younger generation from the traumatic history of their country to a poetics
of everyday life, of play, and experiment. An absolutely rich and appealing book.
R obert Hass
These cosmopolitan, multilingual poets speak to us across the decades, over
coming a great silence, redirecting the myths, reimagining the role of the poet,
and the nature of poetry itself. Scattering the Dark is a useful, subversive, even
necessary anthology.Edward Hirsch

Great Faith, Great Wisdom
Practice and Awakening in the Pure Land Sutras
of Mahayana Buddhism
raddh
Ratnaguna and S
apa
An inspiring and practical commentary on three texts

at the center of East Asian Buddhist faith.
Ratnaguna presents a commentary on the Pure Land Sutras, which describe

Sukhavati, the archetypal land of bliss presided over by the Buddha Amitabha,
the focus of devotion for many East Asian Buddhists. Ratnaguna explores the
practices that enable the practitioner to be reborn in this ideal world, and outlines how this can be understood in both a literal and metaphoric sense. So rebirth in Sukhavati can take place in this very life, and dwelling there can be
understood as a description of the Enlightened Mind. He also explores faithimagination as the faculty that perceives reality.
These Buddhist textsboth ancient and perennialput forward a path of
faith and grace, as well as effort and practice. Using a practical and imaginative
approach, Ratnaguna explores the main themes, and the meditations outlined by
the Buddha. This book will appeal to both practicing Buddhistswhether from
the East Asian Pure Land traditions or notand anyone interested in Buddhism
from a practical point of view.
Includes new translations of the three Pure Land sutras by Buddhist scholar
raddhpa.
Ratnaguna is a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order and has been practicing
Buddhism for thirty-five years. He is a director of Breathworks in Manchestera
social enterprise organization that helps people who live with chronic pain and
other long-term health conditions.
raddhpa is also a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order. He studied
Scandinavian languages and translation at the University of Edinburgh and
University College London, and is currently studying for an MPhil in Sanskrit.
He lives and works in Norway and teaches at the Oslo Buddhist Centre.

Ana Ristovic
Translated by Steven Teref and Maja Teref
A rich embroidery of frank sexuality and lyric images

from an award-winning Serbian poet.
Ana Ristovics erotic, wry, feminist poems concern daily routines (washing
laundry, doing crossword puzzles). In her writing she explores inner and outer
worlds, sex, and relationships. This bilingual (Serbian and English) selection
unveils a rich embroidery of frank sexuality and lyric images.
Born in 1972 in Belgrade, Ristovic studied comparative literature at the philo
logical faculty there. She has published six books of poetry and won the Hubert
Burda Prize for young Eastern European poets in 2005. She also has translated
eighteen books of poetry and prose from Slovenian into Serbian, and her own
poems have been translated into almost a dozen languages.
On the surface, Ristovics poems read smoothly and almost easily as she wittily
and winkingly banters about polishing her nails or doing laundry as she opens
the door to her New Belgrade world on the Danube quay. Before one knows,
one is seduced into a light-hearted conversation about daily chores and salad-
making as [o]utside, the blizzard howls, with ease and without a care, buries
our mutual threshold.
In 2014, the Guardian announced Southbank Centres list of the fifty greatest
love poems of the past fifty years. On that list, Ana Ristovics Circling Zero ap
peared together with the likes of Margaret Atwood, Frank OHara, and Chinua
Achebe, among many other luminous giants of literature.
