In 1891, when coal companies in eastern Tennessee brought in cheap con-
vict labor to take over their jobs, workers responded by storming the stock-
ades, freeing the prisoners, and loading them onto freight trains. Over the
next year, tactics escalated to include burning company property and looting
company stores. This was one of the largest insurrections in US working- class
history. It happened at the same time as the widely publicized northern labor
war in Homestead, Pennsylvania. And it was largely ignored, then and now.
Dixie Be Damned engages seven similarly hidden insurrectionary episodes
in Southern history to demonstrate the regions long arc of revolt. Countering
images of the South as pacied and conservative, this adventurous re telling
presents history in the rough. This is not the South of confederate ags and
Toby Keith songs. Its the South of John Browns fanaticism and Robert F.
Williamss book Negroes with Guns, a South where slaves arent the only ones
getting lynched and the oppressed refuse to quietly suer their fate. This is
peoples history at its best: slave rebellions, multiracial banditry, labor battles,
prison uprisings, urban riots, and more.
Neal Shirley grew up in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, where he is in-
volved in several anti- prison initiatives and runs a small publishing project
called the North Carolina Piece Corps.
Saralee Staord was born in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Her recent
political work has focused on connecting the struggles of street organizations
with those of anarchists in the area. She teaches gender- related health in
Durham, North Carolina.

An incriminating investigation into the domestic army
that protects and serves the status quo.
Lets begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most
direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and autho-
rized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police en-
counter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent.
Using media reports alone, the Cato Institutes last annual study listed nearly
seven thousand victims of police misconduct in the United States. But such
stories of police brutality only scratch the surface of a national epidemic.
Every year, tens of thousands are framed, blackmailed, beaten, sexually as-
saulted, or killed by cops. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on civil
judgments and settlements annually. Individual lives, families, and commu-
nities are destroyed.
In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of po-
licing in the United States, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isnt
an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the
United States. From antebellum slave patrols to todays unarmed youth being
gunned down in the streets, peace keepers have always used force to shape
behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well-
researched page- turner that both makes historical sense of this legalized social
pathology and maps out possible alternatives.
Kristian Williams is the author of several books, including American Methods: Torture
and the Logic of Domination. He co- edited Life During Wartime: Resisting Counterinsurgency,
and lives in Portland, Oregon.

Whenever we envision a world without war, without prisons, without injus-
tice, we are engaging in speculative ction. Radicals and activists devote their
lives to envisioning and creating another world. What better vehicle for them
to explore their work and its possibilities than through writing original sci-
ence ction stories?
Walidah Imarisha and adrienne maree brown brought together twenty
radical writers to do just that. The result is Octavias Brood: Science Fiction Stories
from Social Justice Movements, an enchanting and enlightening collection that un-
covers truths buried in the fantastic, and injects a healthy dose of imagination
and innovation into our search for truth. It is the rst book to explore the
connections between radical science ction and movements for social change,
using visionary prose to weave strands of real-life experiences inequality and
exploitation, struggle and solidarity into new ways of understanding our-
selves, the world around us, and all the other selves and worlds that could be.
The stories are rounded o with essays by Tananarive Due and Mumia
Abu- Jamal, as well as a resource guide to other literary, cinematic, and musi-
cal examples of radical science ction.
Walidah Imarisha is a writer, organizer, educator, and spoken-word art-
ist. She is the author of the poetry collection Scars/Stars and facilitates writ-
ing workshops at schools, community centers, youth detention facilities, and
womens prisons.
adrienne maree brown is a 2013 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow writing sci-
ence ction in Detroit, Michigan. She received a 2013 Detroit Knight Arts
Challenge Award to run a series of Octavia Butler based writing workshops.

From 1864 to 1876, socialists, communists, trade unionists, and anarchists
synthesized a growing body of anticapitalist thought through participation in
the First International a body devoted to uniting left- wing radical tendencies
of the time. Often remembered for the historic ghts between Karl Marx and
Michael Bakunin, the debates and experimentation during the International
helped to rene and focus anarchist ideas into a doctrine of international
working class self- liberation.
Robert Graham has been writing about anarchism for thirty years. He recently
edited the three-volume collection Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian Ideas.

That Winter the Wolf Came is a poetry written for this era of global struggle. It nds
its ferment at the intersection of ecological and economic catastrophe such as
the carbon catastrophes of Deepwater Horizon and the burning Kuwaiti oil-
elds. And it nds its feminist, ferocious, and nally celebratory energy in
the example of the street protests of Oakland, California, and elsewhere.

A prolic writer and tireless activist, Hippolyte Havel (18711950) contrib-
uted dozens of articles, essays, and reviews to anarchist periodicals, including
Emma Goldmans Mother Earth. His inuence on several writers, artists, and
intellectuals (e.g., Eugene ONeill, Joseph Stieglitz, Sadakichi Hartmann,
etc.) helped shape American modernism. Proletarian Days renews his legacy and
demonstrates his inuence on international revolutionary politics, the de-
velopment of modern art and literature, and the culture of twentieth- century
America.

Library Journal, on Wingshooters
Four people on a backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada nd more adven-
ture than they ever imagined. They are drawn to the mountains for reasons
as diverse as their own lives. Gwen Foster, a counselor for at- risk youths, is
struggling with burnout from the demands of her job. Real estate agent Oscar
Barajas is adjusting to the fall of the housing market and being a single parent.
Todd Harris, an attorney, is stuck in a lucrative but unfullling career and in
a failing marriage. They are all brought together by their trainer, Tracy Cole,
a former athlete with a taste for risky pursuits.
When the hikers start up a pristine mountain trail that hasnt been trav-
eled in years, all they have to guide them is a hand- drawn map of a remote,
mysterious place called Lost Canyon. At rst, the route past high alpine lakes
and under towering, snowcapped peaks oers all the freedom and exhila-
ration theyd hoped for. But when they stumble onto someone who doesnt
want to be found, the group nds itself faced with a series of dangerous con-
icts, moral dilemmas, confrontations with nature, and an all- out struggle
for survival.
Moving eortlessly between city and wilderness, Lost Canyon explores the
ways that race, class, and culture shape experience and perception. It exam-
ines the choices good people must face in desperate situations. Set in the
grand, wild landscape of Californias mountains, Lost Canyon is a story of
brewing social tension and breathtaking adventure that will keep readers on
the edge of their seats.

number ought to be Kaylie Jones. The New York Times
Merryn Huntley is rudely awakened to the many bad decisions she has made
in her life when she is told by two Dallas police ocers that her wealthy
husband Beau has been killed in a car accident, along with a local waitress.
Merryns rst instinct is to ee in order to protect her nine- year- old daugh-
ter, and the only place that feels safe enough is her mothers beautiful, iso-
lated home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Merryns mother, the redoubtable Bibi, always said to her as a child, When
you tell a lie, make sure you keep it as close to the truth as possible, because it
will be easier to remember. Ironically, from the moment Merryn arrives, she
is forced into twisting the truth about how much she knew of her husband
and his shady business aairs; about her own secret lovers; and most impor-
tantly, that she is beginning to doubt the one person who has always been the
greatest inuence in her life: her mother.
The situation worsens when two FBI agents show up and begin to ask
Merryn questions about her husbands business, which only intensies her
need to continue lying. While Merryns perfect life begins to crumble around
her, she must decide whether or not she can face the most painful reality of
all that she has been lying to herself her entire life.
Kaylie Jones has published six books, the most recent a memoir, Lies My Mother
Never Told Me. Her novel A Soldiers Daughter Never Cries was adapted as a Merchant
Ivory lm in 1998.

The long- awaited sequel to the #1 best- selling
international smash hit Go the Fuck to Sleep.
From the author of the international bestseller Go the Fuck to Sleep comes a long-
awaited sequel about the other great parental frustration: getting your little
angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane,
loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to Fucking Eat breaks the code of child-
rearing silence, giving moms and dads new, old, grand- , and expectant a
much- needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.
A perfect gift book like the smash hit Go the Fuck to Sleep (over 1.5 million cop-
ies sold worldwide!), You Have to Fucking Eat perfectly captures Adam Mansbachs
trademark humor, which is simultaneously aectionate and radically honest.
You probably shouldnt read it to your kids.
Adam Mansbach is the author of the #1 international bestseller Go the Fuck to
Sleep, as well as the novels Rage Is Back, Angry Black White Boy, The Dead Run, and The
End of the Jews, winner of the California Book Award. He has written for the

In this evocative debut novel, the accidental murder of an eight- year- old
forces a working- class white community to face its demons.
Turnbull is a working- class town full of weary people who struggle to make
ends meet. Evictions, alcoholism, and random violence are commonplace. In
the heat of July 1983, when eight- year- olds James Illworth, Dallas Darwin,
and Felix Cassidy leave their homes to play in the woods, they have to navigate
between the potentially violent world of angry adults and even angrier teens.
Little do they know that by the end of the summer, one of them will lay dead,
after a bit of playful bullying from older teens escalates to tragedy.
Loosely based on a real crime that took place on Long Island in 1979, Little
Beasts is a panorama of a poor, mostly white neighborhood surrounded by the
auent communities of the East End. After the murder, the novels main
characters must come to grips with the aftermath, face down the decisions
theyve made, and reestablish their faith in the possibility of a better world.

A riveting coming- of- age debut novel that follows a young woman
who squats abandoned buildings with comrades in 1990s New York City.
When I nished this novel I went, No! I couldnt believe it was over so fast.
I loved this book the rst that captures the soulful mystery of what drives
the global- nomadic, urban- punk, musician- artist- poet squatter underground
movement, carving out its future in the dystopian cities that are already here.
The books heroine is one to die for. V. Vale, RE/Search Publications
Sid arrives in New York City in 1995 eager to join the anarchist squatting
scene. Shes got a tattoo, she listens to the right bands . . . so why would she
get a job and rent some tiny shoe-box apartment when she could take over a
whole building with a gang of wild young pirates? But the Lower East Side is
changing; there are no more empty buildings, the squats are cliquey and full.
Sid teams up with a musician from Mexico and together they nd their
way across the bridge to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Packs of wild dogs roam the
water front and the rough building in which they nally nd space is occu-
pied by mists who dont know anything about the Manhattan squatting scene,
Food Not Bombs, Critical Mass, or hardcore punk. But this is Sids chance
and shes determined to make a home for herself no matter what.
Stacy Wakeeld is best known for her seminal nonction book Not for Rent
one of the rst to chronicle squatting in the modern era and an underground
classic. She spent years living in squatted buildings in Europe and New York.
She is the co- creator, along with Nick Zinner of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs
and writer Zachary Lipez, of the photo/essay book Please Take Me O the Guest List.

Eliza Factors rst novel, The Mercury Fountain, explores what happens when
a life driven by ideology confronts implacable truths of science and human
nature. . . . Factor counters convention with a sharp sense of character, evoca-
tive subplots, and the dangerous allure of mercury itself. The New York Times
Book Review, Editors Choice
The love in Love Maps is not the kind associated with domestic bliss; it is the
kind that bubbles up at inopportune moments, attaching itself to people who
might be better o free, causing mayhem and longing, along with moments
of rare beauty. The title is taken from a series of paintings by Sarah Marker,
an artist who ekes out a living teaching humanities at a fancy high school in
Connecticut.
The story begins when Sarah receives a letter from Philip, her erstwhile
husband. They have lived separately for seven years, without having seen each
other once, without having formally severed ties, in a state of sustained am-
bivalence. Now he wants to visit. As much as Sarah would like to see him, she
is terried at what he will do when he discovers that he has a son.
Sarah bundles up her son and once again takes ight, only to arrive in a
place she had not intended. While navigating the terrain of the 1980s art scene
in New York City, she must confront the terrible events surrounding Philips
departure and reconcile the expectations of domestic life with her own frac-
tured experience of family, confronting the violence and aching love at the
heart of this story.
Eliza Factor is a writer and the founder of Extreme Kids & Crew. She lives in
Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and three children. Her debut novel,
The Mercury Fountain, was published in 2012.

Larsons vividly imagined world and his quirky narrator are likely to win him
a cadre of loyal fans. Publishers Weekly
The most incredible thing about Larsons novel is just how credible it is . . .
and the prose is perfect, as tweaked and jumpy and memorable as the man
known as Dewey Decimal. Im a Library of Congress girl myself, but Larsons
uncannily original ction deserves its own number within any system of
library classication. Laura Lippman, author of After Im Gone
The Immune System is the explosive nal installment in the Dewey Decimal tril-
ogy. Picking up months after the events of The Nervous System, Dewey nds him-
self running dirty operations for the crooked Senator Howard. When Dewey
is tasked with disrupting unrest from a growing group of outcast civilians, and
simultaneously given the assignment of protecting a pair of Saudi royals, he is
forced to look within and make some impossible choices. Ultimately, this puts
him at odds with his benefactor and the powers that be.
In the course of the novel, we learn the true nature of the 2/14 cataclysm
that decimated New York City, and by the end of it, Dewey must choose
whether or not to face his own past. He must also decide if he is to be part of
the elite control system, or if hes willing to commit himself to the unknown,
without the protections he enjoys in the good favor of the landlords of the
new New Order.

Deant and uncategorizable, Lo Kwa Mei- ens Yearling, with its teeming spe-
cies, battles, and passions, read like an illuminated manuscript: mysterious,
visceral, awe- full. Hers are some of the most enviable poems I have ever read,
and herald Mei- en as the new standard bearer for innovative structure, terrify-
ing acknowledgment, ecstatic statement, and, I daresay, beauty. Kathy Fagan
Lo Kwa Mei- ens Yearling explores adolescence through a deeply moving and
poignantly raw lens. As the speaker ages, so too does the poetry, creating la-
ments for the loss of friendship, the loss of species, and sometimes the loss of
humanity itself. Harsh, forlorn, and yet eervescent, Mei- ens lyricism per-
fectly captures the ethos of youth in an unsure world.
From Rara Avis Decoy:
Wild diamond rocking on the oor
of a predatory boat. Point & say sweet traitor
to the wood & water for wanting to be made
of both. My name is I know not what I am
as a country of mothers & fathers comes down.
They call me sleeping beauty. I dream I am
in ight, body unfolding, folding, a bullet
wounding water again & again the mysterious
love of a father & mother a two- barreled
gaze. The gun in my dream speaks my name
& sees a beating vein. Takes aim
Lo Kwa Mei-en is from Singapore and Ohio. Her poems have appeared in
Boston Review, Guernica, the Kenyon Review, West Branch, and other journals, and won
the Crazyhorse Lynda Hull Memorial Poetry Prize and the Gulf Coast Poetry
Prize.

In Cecily Parks beautiful poems, the natural world teeters between being
and seeming the seeming a simulacrum projected onto the world by a minds
yearning, taxonomy and dread. Deeply metaphysical, and deeply attentive to
our spiritual as well as physical uses and abuses of nature, ONights implicates
languages indeed, lyric poetrys sad role in this endeavor. Susan Wheeler
In ONights, Cecily Parks constructs stunning manifestations of a modern
Thoreauvian wilderness, investigating how the natural world gives shape to
the self, body, and emotions. These lyrical, transcendental poems study the
duality of natures feminine and masculine identities, and in their simplicity,
oer a space where humankind truly belongs.
From Bell:
This progress, as in the wind- scalloped snowmeadow
pretending to be moon. This love that sets us scrambling
over the maps last ridge, our red hoods bright
in shrunken sky. This metallic weather in which we
are the ore. This alder. These crimson- tipped willows
reverberating next to a river of turquoise ice. This
following the deep tracks of one coyote stepping
where another has stepped. This wilderness
that we trespass, burning like berries in the juniper
and becoming the air in the belfry.
Cecily Parks is the author of the chapbook Cold Work (Poetry Society of America,
2005) and the collection Field Folly Snow (University of Georgia Press, 2008),
which was a nalist for the Norma Farber First Book Award and the Glasgow/
Shenandoah Prize for Emerging Writers. Her poems have appeared in Boston
Review, Kenyon Review, Orion, Tin House, Virginia Quarterly Review, the Yale Review, and
elsewhere. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Juxtaposing our wars, our disturbed cities, our awed policies with the erotic
and domestic, Michael Broek creates, in Refuge/es, a stunning love song for
our troubled nation and world. Consisting primarily of three sequences, this
audaciously original rst book is actually one complex collage with recurrent
points of reference, assembled with uncommon skill and passionate care.
Martha Collins
Intimate and explorative, Refuge/es intricately weaves together political, histori-
cal, and highly specic cultural movements across many countries and time
periods; challenging themes of war, violence, love, and suering. Michael
Broek counters the macro worldly lens with a microscopic view of what makes
us distinctly human, which exposes a deep irony: sometimes what we run
from, we also create.
The Counterpane 7
Ive dreamt nightmares of wounds & made moans
so loud I woke myself bellowing.
I somehow know what is coming everything that follows
after the rst Word
is what has to follow. I am one of these
men: I hear a man in a bar say, One
& because he speaks I know just why I will die.
This is not because Im proud.
Ive dreamt he dapples me with whiskey
kisses then makes me sit on the Judas chair.
Tonight Ill dream a long dream of witness.

Switzerlands answer to Hilary Mantel this novel does for
Renaissance music what The Girl with a Pearl Earring did for Vermeer.
The signicance of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book to our musical canon is well
known; the remarkable story of its copyist and compiler, Francis Tregian,
less so.
Born into Cornish Catholic nobility and plumb into the choppy waters
of the Elizabethan Age, he must rely on his surpassing skill as a musician to
survive.
In this Prix des Libraires (Booksellers Prize) winning novel, Anne Cuneo
deftly recreates the musician's journey across Renaissance Europe, which sees
him befriending Shakespeare, swapping partitions with William Byrd and
Monteverdi, and playing in the court of Henri IV of France.
The result is as gripping as it is authentic: an epic, transcontinental chore-
ography in which Europe's monarchs tussle with pretenders to their thrones,
and ordinary people steer between allegiances to God, nation, and family.
Originally published in French as Le trajet d'une rivire, Tregian's Ground was
awarded the prestigious Prix des Libraires, which celebrates the best novel pub-
lished in the Francophone world each year. It has sold over one hundred and
twenty thousand copies across Europe.
Anne Cuneo was born in Paris, France, to Italian parents, and raised in
Switzerland and in England. She is a writer, lmmaker, and journalist, and
holds a degree in literature from the University of Lausanne. Her career spans
four decades and fteen novels, as well as dozens of plays and scripts for the-
ater, TV, and radio.

tive, nutritious, and delectable meals without having to spend a lot of money.
Perfect for students, new adults, and others on a budget, its a personable

fect scrambled eggs, rice and lentils) to the sublime (orecchiette with white
beans and sausage, mustard fried chicken). There are also a number of ethnic-
inspired recipes, such as Kimchi pancakes, Salvadoran roast chicken, and
pantry kedgeree, reecting the new interest in global cuisine and the fact that
ethnic ingredients are not only easy to nd nowadays, but often inexpensive.
Also crucial is the avoidance of processed foods and rened sugar wherever
possible. Emily also provides helpful information for those with diabetes, in-
cluding glycemic indexes where appropriate. For those on a budget, nutrition
is often overlooked when it comes to eating, and there is a long- standing re-
lationship between diabetes and those who think they can only aord to eat
processed or fast foods.
With its down- to- earth charm and sage advice, Well Fed, Flat Broke will have
you eating like a millionaire without having to spend like one.
Emily Wight is a writer and home cook whos been blogging about food for

story, prepare to be swept overboard into a world of orphaned, abandoned,
and runaway bois who have sworn allegiance and service to Pan, the fearless
leader of the Lost Bois brigade and the newly corrupted Mommy Wendi who,
along with the tomboy John Michael, Pan convinces to join him at Neverland.
Told from the point of view of Tootles, Pans best boi, the lost bois call the
Neverland squat home, creating their own idea of family, united in their al-
legiance to Pan, the boi who cannot be broken, and their refusal to join ranks
with Hook and the gentrifying pirates. Like a fever- pitched dream, Lost Boi
situ ates a childrens fantasy within a subversive alternative reality, chronicling
the lost bois search for belonging and purpose, and their struggle against the
biggest battle of all: growing up.

The lives of two women burdened with secrets: a novel on the
complexities of class, race, gender, parenthood, and desire.
Vero and her husband Shane have moved out of the sweet suite above his
parents garage and found themselves smack in the middle of adulthood
two kids, two cars, two jobs. They are not coping well. In response to their
looming domestic breakdown, Vero and Shane get live- in help with their
sons, a woman from the Philippines named Ligaya (which means happi-
ness); the children call her LiLi. Vero justies LiLis role in their home
by insisting that she is part of their family, and she goes to great lengths in
order to ease her conscience. But dierences persist; Vero grapples with her
overextended role as a mother and struggles to keep her marriage passion-
ate, while LiLi silently bears the burden of a secret she left behind at home.
Between oers readers an intriguing, searing portrait of two women from
two dierent cultures. At the same time, it satirizes contemporary love, mar-
riage, and parenthood by exposing the sense of entitlement and superiority at
the heart of upper- middle- class North American existence through a ubiqui-
tous presence in it: the foreign nanny. Angie Abdou comically and tragically
tackles the issue of international nannies by providing a window on mother-
hood where it is tangled up with class, career, labor, and desire.
Angie Abdou has a PhD in English literature from the University of Calgary
and teaches English and creative writing at the College of the Rockies in
Cranbrook, British Columbia. Her rst novel, The Bone Cage (NeWest Press),
was a nalist in CBCs Canada Reads competition.

An LGBT memoir by a formerly self- described inadequate male
about the true meaning of being a man.
Michael V. Smith is a multi- hyphenate force of nature: a novelist, poet, im-
prov comic, lmmaker, drag queen, performance artist, and occasional clown.
In this, his rst work of nonction, Michael traces his early years as an inade-
quate male a fey kid growing up in a small town amid a blue- collar family;
a sissy; an insecure teenager desperate to disappear; and an obsessive writer-
performer, drawn to compulsions of alcohol, sex, reading, spending, work,
and art as many means to cope and heal.
Drawing on his work as an artist whose work focuses on our preconceived
notions about the body, this disarming and intriguing memoir questions
what it means to be human. Michael asks: How can we know what a man is?
How might understanding gender as metaphor be a tool for a deeper under-
standing of identity? In coming to terms with his past failures at masculinity,
Michael oers a new way of thinking about breaking out of gender norms, and
breaking free of a hurtful past.
Michael V. Smith won the inaugural Dayne Ogilvie Prize for Emerging LGBT
Writers from the Writers Trust of Canada for his rst novel, Cumberland. Hes
since published two poetry books and a second novel, Progress. He teaches crea-
tive writing in the faculty of creative and critical studies at University of British
Columbias Okanagan campus.

Award- winning novelist and memoirist Amber Dawn reveals a gutsy lyrical
sensibility in her debut poetry collection: a collection of glosa poems writ-
ten as an homage to and an interaction with queer poets such as Gertrude
Stein, Christina Rossetti, and Adrienne Rich. By doing so, Dawn delves
deeper into the themes of trauma, memory, and unblushing sexuality that
dene her work.
Amber Dawn is the author of the Lambda Award winning novel Sub Rosa and
the memoir How Poetry Saved My Life (winner of the Vancouver Book Award).
Her other awards include the Writers Trust of Canada Dayne Ogilvie Prize.

An extraordinary novel. . . . Reading the book, I recalled the dramatic natural
landscape of Jack London and the wild untamed seas of William Golding.
John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and A History of Loneliness
A remarkable achievement, a stylish novel, full of music and quiet control.
Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin and Transatlantic
Cormac James writing is very assured, with a harsh poetic edge. His evoca-
tions of barren landscape, sea weather, pack ice, and frozen skies are power-
ful and compelling. Rose Tremain, author of Music & Silence and Merivel: A Man
of His Time
Far from civilization, on the hunt for Sir John Franklins recently lost North-
west Passage expedition, Lieutenant Morgan and his crew nd themselves
trapped in ever- hardening Arctic ice that threatens to break apart their ship.
When Morgan realizes that a stowaway will give birth to his child in the frozen
wilderness, he nds new clarity and courage to lead his men across a bleak ex-
panse as shifting, stubborn, and treacherous as human nature itself. In vivid
and pristine prose, Cormac James holds the reader in a vice grip of tension as
he brings his subtly drawn characters to the brink of disaster.
A harrowing tale of psychological fortitude against impossible odds, The
Surfacing is also a beautifully told story of one mans transformative journey
toward fatherhood.
Cormac James was born in Cork, Ireland, and lives in Montpellier, France,
with his wife and son. The Surfacing is his North American debut novel.

[Norman Locks ction] shimmers with glorious language, uid rhythms,
and complex insights. NPR
[Lock] is one of the most interesting writers out there. Readers Digest
Lock writes some of the most deceptively beautiful sentences in contempo-
rary ction. Beneath their clarity are layers of cultural and literary references,
profound questions about loyalty, race, the possibility of social progress, and
the nature of truth. Shelf Awareness
In this panoramic tale of Manifest Destiny, Stephen Moran comes of age with
the young country that he crosses on the Union Pacic, just as the railroad
unites the continent. He is propelled westward through a series of incredible
adventures, from the killing elds of the Civil War as bugler for President
Lincoln on his funeral train, parlor- car steward, and apprentice to the great
frontier photographer William Henry Jackson to the Battle of Little Big
Horn, where he stalks General George Custer. When he comes face- to- face
with Crazy Horse, his life will be spared but his dreams haunted for the rest
of his days.
By turns elegiac and comic, American Meteor is a novel of adventure, ideas,
and mourning: a unique vision of Americas fabulous and murderous history.
Norman Lock is the author of Love Among the Particles, a Shelf Awareness Best Book
of the Year, and The Boy in His Winter, a re- envisioning of Mark Twains classic
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which Scott Simon of NPRs Morning Edition hailed
for [making] Huck and Jim so real you expect to get messages from them on
your iPhone. Lock lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey.

One of our nest writers. Annie Dillard
Pritchard polishes the strange and makes it shine. Leslie Jamison, San Francisco
Chronicle
A writer at the height of her powers. Oprah.com
In an essay entitled Spirit and Vision Melissa Pritchard poses the question:
Why write? Her answer reverberates throughout A Solemn Pleasure, present-
ing an undeniable case for both the power of language and the nurturing con-
stancy of the writing life. Whether describing the deeply interior imaginative
life required to write ction, searching for the lost legacy of American lit-
erature as embodied by Walt Whitman, being embedded with a young female
GI in Afghanistan, traveling with Ethiopian tribes, or revealing the heart-
rending story of her informally adopted son William, a former Sudanese child
slave, this is non ction vividly engaged with the world. In these fteen essays,
Pritchard shares her passion for writing and storytelling that educates, hon-
ors, and inspires.
A Solemn Pleasure is the inaugural title in Bellevue Literary Press The Art of the
Essay series, featuring creative and insightful nonction from authors who
have made signicant contributions in ction.
Melissa Pritchard is the author of, most recently, the novel Palmerino and the
short story collection The Odditorium. Her books have received the Flannery
OConnor, Janet Heidinger Kafka, and Carl Sandburg awards, and two of her
short ction collections were New York Times Notable Book and Editors Choice
selections. Pritchard has worked as a journalist in Afghanistan, India, and
Ethiopia, and her nonction has appeared in various publications, including
O, The Oprah Magazine; Arrive; Chicago Tribune; and the Wilson Quarterly. She lives in
Phoenix, Arizona.

A celebration of the of the most extreme and surprising life
beneath the surface of the planets oceans.
If you enjoy the quirkier side of nature, this book of strange but true tales is
a must. BBC Wildlife
This is a book about the oceans marvels, mythical and real among them the
meter- long epaulette shark that does indeed walk. New Scientist
When you dive into the sea, do you ever wonder whats down there, beneath
you, poised to take an inquisitive bite? Author of Jaws Peter Benchley and lm
director Steven Spielberg certainly did, for below the waves lies a world we
neither see nor understand; an alien world where we are but the briefest of
visitors. The Shark That Walks on Land uncovers tales of ancient and modern mari-
ners, with stories of sea serpents, mermaids and mermen, sea dragons, and
the true identity of the legendary kraken. But this book contains more than
just a medley of maritime myths and mysteries for marine biologists; it cele-
brates wonderful discoveries by blending the unknown and the familiar in
an entertaining miscellany of facts, gures, and anecdotes about the myriad
creatures that inhabit the oceans. Along the way we meet the giants, the most
dangerous, the oddballs, and the record breakers and the shark that really
does walk on land!
Michael Bright is the author of a number of books on natural history. He is
an awardwinning lmmaker with the BBCs Natural History Unit.

A compendium of the nest writing,
including ction and biography, on and by spies.
Interest in spies and spying has rarely been higher than it is today. This col-
lection of classic ction and nonction from spies and spy- writers provides
a unique insight into the imaginary and the real worlds of espionage and its
practitioners. Editor Michael Smith is a former intelligence ocer and one
of the leading authorities on the history of spies. He has collected a series of
thrilling and absorbing stories told by some of the greatest spies and spy writ-
ers in this one collection. Daring wartime plans devised by Ian Fleming to
steal an Enigma machine for the Bletchley Park code breakers sit side by side
with reports from MI6 traitor Kim Philby to Moscow Centre; operations in
Bolshevik Russia by Sidney Reilly, the original Ace of Spies; and the literary
spy stories of Joseph Conrad and Erskine Childers. Each article or extract
is accompanied by an expert introduction from Smith. Stories of espionage
never cease to engage and enthral. Smith deftly uses his own experience and
that of the many contributors to lead the reader through the fascinations of
the secret world.
Michael Smith is an awardwinning journalist and the number one best-
selling author of Killer Elite: The inside story of Americas most secret special operations team.
Smith served in the British Armys Intelligence Corps before joining the BBC.

From Victoria herself to the writers, philanthropists, and politicians of the
day, the Victorians have been dismissed as hypocrites and frauds. To a handful
of eccentrics born during Victorias reign, the nineteenth century remained
the greatest era in human history. These were, to friend and foe alike, the last
Victorians relics of a bygone civilization.
In this daring group biography, W. Sydney Robinson explores the extraor-
dinary lives of four of Victorian survivors: Home Secretary William Joynson-
Hicks; Dean of St.Pauls W. R. Inge; the founder of the BBC, John Reith; and
popular historian Arthur Bryant.
W. Sydney Robinson is a historian and journalist.
An enjoyable romp through the world
of the ercest writers rivalries and
most bizarre literary stand- offs.

Novelists, poets, and playwrights live double lives. When they fall out with
each other they seem to do so with great passion. This highly entertaining

history and examines the dramatic eects on literature itself. Grudge matches
covered here include Vladimir Nabokov against Edmund Wilson; Norman
Mailer, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Virginia Woolf, and John Updike against
each other; Ernest Hemingways spectacular and very public falling- out with
former friends Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas; Lillian Hellman against Mary
McCarthy; plus many more.

Bora is still serving on the Russian front as a German counterintelligence of-
cer. At a time when weariness, disillusionment, and battle fatigue are a sol-
diers daily fare, Bora seems to be one of the few whose sanity is not marred
by the horrors of war. Two Russian generals in his custody die within twenty-
four hours of each other. Everything appears to exclude the likelihood of foul
play, but Bora begins an investigation, a stubborn attempt to solve a mystery

Our world view has changed from a at earth under the dome of heaven to
a planet spinning in the universe. We perceived the world as a body, like
ours, then as a tree, a pyramid, an altar, and nally as a veil which became
a window through which we peered only to discover ourselves on a sphere,
a bubble which might burst at any moment. Our changing views are inter-
preted through iconic images of the remote and more recent past: the Venus
of Willendorf, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, the Scream, the
Sydney Opera House, and the Guggenheim, Bilbao.

In this unleashed love song to her late grandmother, Nickole Brown brings
her brassy, bawdy, tough- as- new- rope grandmother to life. With hair teased
to Jesus, glued- on false eyelashes, and a white Cadillac Eldorado with atomic-
red leather seats, Fanny isnt your typical granny in a rocking chair. Instead,
think of a character that looks a lot like Eva Gabor in Green Acres, but tinted
with a shadow of Sylvia Plath.
From Go Put on Your Face:
is what she said, and what she meant was
a little somethin- somethin, a little dunka- dunk,
a little mascara and blush, gloss and perfume,
and best conceal that stork bite, that hot V that ared
between my brows, that red check pointing down
to my pink gum- avored gum, chewed and blown and popped
with a irt, me pulling it to string and twirling it with the tip,
just like a dumb blonde should.
A cross- genre collection that reads like a novel, this hilarious and often
wrenching book is both a collection of oral history pieces and poems that deal
with the complexities of the South, including poverty, racism, and domes-
tic violence.
Nickole Brown grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and Deereld Beach, Florida.
She got her MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, studied litera-
ture at Oxford University, and was editorial assistant for the late Hunter S.
Thompson. Her rst collection, Sister, was published in 2007. She is editor
for the Marie Alexander Series in Prose Poetry at White Pine Press and teaches
at the University of ArkansasLittle Rock.

Why God Is a Woman is a collection of poems written about a magical island where
women rule and men are the second sex. It is also the story of a boy who, ex-
iled from the island because he could not abide by its sexist laws, looks back
with both nostalgia and bitterness and wonders: Why does God have to be a
woman? Celebrated prose poet Nin Andrews creates a world both fantastic
and familiar where all the myths, logic, and institutions support the domi-
nance of women.
Nin Andrewss books include The Book of Orgasms and Sleeping with Houdini.
Set in the mundane everyday,
these poems explore shame and
humorously dramatize the clumsy
and socially awkward moments of life.

poem has been re- imagined as a cinematic vignette, yet rooted as deeply in the

idiomatic recklessness while navigating those angular narratives of our con-
temporary lives. David St. John

The characters in these nine short stories abandon families, plot assassina-
tions, nurse vendettas, tease, taunt, and terrorize. They retaliate for bad mar-
riages, dream of weddings, and wait decades for lovers. How far will we go to
escape to a better dream? What consequences must we face for hope and fan-
tasy? Robin McLeans stories are strange, often disturbing and funny, and
as full of foolishness and ugliness as they are of the wisdom and beauty all
around us.

The poems in Smugglers move through rapid historical shifts and meditations
on personal experience, exploring the depths and limits of comprehension
through the people and geography of the Balkans. Ultimately, Ale Debeljaks
urban imagination creates a mosaic intimate and historical of a vanished
people and their country. Every poem in Smugglers is sixteen lines long four
quatrains, a common form for Debeljak. This structural regularity is re-
inforced by a commitment to visual balance, with each poem working as a
kind of grid into which the poet pours memories and associative ris.

A rough Southern country boy rises to the top of the
professional tennis world, falls hard, then slowly climbs back.
Red Dirt is the rst- person story of Jaxie Skinner, an unlikely professional ten-
nis player from a blue- collar family in the sticks of rural Georgia who takes
up the game at the age of three when his father scrapes a court out of the red
clay behind their farmhouse. He is a natural, rising to the top of junior ten-
nis, and at eighteen has great success at the French Open. He falls as quickly
as he rose, however, when his father dies of a heart attack and Jaxie suers a
knee injury on a slick practice court at Wimbledon. He quits the game for sev-
eral years, and then mounts a comeback, struggling for almost a decade in the
un glamorous, low- paying minor leagues of tennis, often living out of his van.
He eventually ghts his way back up the ranks, reaching the seminals of the
US Open at the age of thirty- eight.
This is a story of father and son, of a colorful coach, and of several tem-
pestuous relationships including a sexy Russian player who contributes to
his early downfall. Jaxie matures as he grows into his thirties, and he nally
nds peace with his place in the world.
A fascinating study of tennis, its demands and tactics, as well as a look at the
insular and often selsh character required to reach the pinnacle of the sport.

Make your modern sailboat look (and work) like a salty classic. The Golden
Age of Sail is long past, and much of its lore is nearly extinct. Sailboats now
almost uniformly use the Bermudan sloop rig a triangular jib and a triangu-

necessarily the most eective rig. This book lets sailors rediscover the practi-
cal advantages and aesthetic delights of the sprit sail, the ga sail, the lug
sail, and the gunter rig. It also teaches marlinspike work like rope- whipping
and eye- splicing and includes tips on converting your modern sailboat to a
traditional rig.

son buffeted by the traumatic events surrounding World War II.

ship does not survive wartime, she and his blond- haired child are evacuated to
an internment camp with other Japanese and Japanese Americans. Eventually

ries of the past and to nd his okaasan.

Seattles Gang of Four civil rights activists brought four ethnic groups
together in the 1960s to advocate for minority rights.
Seattles Gang of Four changed the face of the city in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s
by bringing four ethnic groups together in battle against city powerbrokers
over development, poverty, shing rights, and gentrication. The four lead-
ers learned quickly that working together provided greater results than work-
ing apart. This is a story of powerful political alliance and lifelong friendships
forged through sit- ins, protest rallies, and other acts of civil disobedience.
We got very good at occupying buildings, remarked one of the Gang.
Bob Santos and Gary Iwamoto recall how a Native American, Asian
American, African American, and Mexican American came together to ght
for their neighborhoods and their people.
Bob Santos has spent most of his life in the International District of Seattle.
He grew up in the N.P. Hotel with his widowed father, Sammy Santos, a pro-
fessional prizeghter. He was hired in 1972 to lead the International District
Improvement Association (Inter*Im). During his tenure at Inter*Im, Santos
organized property owners, businesses, residents, and activists from the Asian
American community to preserve the neighborhood and build new housing.
Gary Iwamoto is a regular contributing writer for the International Examiner, an
Asian Pacic Islander community newspaper. He has written several plays, no-
tably Miss Minidoka 1943, which was produced by the Northwest Asian American
Theater. He and Bob Santos also wrote Humbows, Not Hot Dogs in 2002.

A stunning collection that depicts the brutal beauty of the
Louisiana bayou and the people who struggle to survive there.
The seventeen stories in this debut collection by Juyanne James interpret the
Louisiana experience. They stage encounters mostly with strong women
but also interesting men and families all trying to survive in their own way.
While this collection is as an evolution of the idea of double- consciousness
and how African Americans see themselves in the world, the characters are
remarkable in their own right, without having to be labeled. They are not so
much concerned with color as they are with survival.
The collection opens with You Dont Know Me, Child: a young bus rider
grows fascinated with a female passenger who carries pictures in her hair, and
the rider imagines the womans past. The fractured Bayou Buoys is about
a mother whose two boys are missing on the bayou. Doll is about early
twentieth- century life when black teachers were brought into small towns in
the South to teach and what happens when a eld hand falls in love with a
teacher.
James has written a thoroughly eclectic, lyrical collection of stories that
speaks to the African American tradition, depicting life in New Orleans and
rural Louisiana.
Juyanne James grew up on a farm in southeast Louisiana; she left at seventeen
to join the US Navy. After holding a number of odd jobs (such as over- the-
road truck driver), she returned to Louisiana to write and teach. Her ction
has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

A Cuban American travels to Havana, searching for a secret recipe,
where he nds love and the truth about his father.
Frank Delgado is no thief. He co- owns a failing Cuban restaurant in
Manhattans Upper East Side. The restaurant, like Frank, is rudderless. Lost.
He decides hell save the restaurant by traveling to Cuba to steal the legend-
ary chicken recipe from the famed El Ajillo restaurant in Havana. The recipe
is a state secret, so prized that no cook knows the whole recipe. But Franks
rationale is ironclad Fidel stole the secret from his family, so Frank will steal
it back. He will triumphantly bring that recipe back to Manhattan and turn his
fortunes around.
Frank has no interest in Cuba. His parents ed after the Revolution.
His dead father spent his life erasing all traces of Cuba from his heart with
barbeques, television, lawn mowing, and alcohol. So Frank is not prepared
for the real Cuba. Sure, he gets beat up and almost killed, the secret service
threatens him, but in the midst of the chaos, he falls in love with a prostitute
and the city, and he unwraps the heroic story of his parents life. Cuba begins
to bind Frank together, the way a good sofrito binds the avors of a Cuban
dish.
Phillippe Diederich is a Haitian American writer and photojournalist raised

out of Haiti in the 1960s. Phillippe grew up listening to stories of nostalgia,

City Lights Pocket Poets Series

978- 0- 87286- 679- 9 W
A comprehensive selection from Lawrence Ferlinghettis
famed City Lights Pocket Poets Series, published
on the sixtieth anniversary of its founding.
Printers ink is the greater explosive. Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Lawrence Ferlinghetti founded the City Lights publishing house sixty years
ago in 1955, launching the press with his now legendary Pocket Poets Series.
First in the series was Pictures of the Gone World the only book of his own poems
that Ferlinghetti would ever publish at City Lights. Within a year, he had
brought out two more volumes: translations by Kenneth Rexroth and poems
by Kenneth Patchen. But it was the success and scandal of number four, Howl
& Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg (1956), that put City Lights on the map, po-
sitioning the Pocket Poets Series at the forefront of the literary counterculture.
A landmark sixtieth-anniversary retrospective, this edition is a must- have
collection, an invaluable distillation of the energetic, iconoclastic, and still
fresh body of work represented in the ongoing series. Ferlinghetti has selected
three poems from each of the sixty volumes, including the work of Ginsberg,
Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Andrei Voznesensky,
Vladimir Mayakovsky, Julio Cortzar, Frank OHara, Marie Ponsot, Denise
Levertov, Diane di Prima, Robert Duncan, Philip Lamantia, Malcolm Lowry,
and many more of the Pocket Poets Series innovative, inuential, and often
groundbreaking American and international poets.
Ferlinghetti provides a fresh introduction that looks back at the inspiration
for the series, why certain poets were included, and the ones that got away. His
behind- the- scenes, personal anecdotes provide priceless insights that shed
new light on his vision and his editorial practices at a time when the Pocket
Poets Series was shaping the contours of poetrys avant- garde.

Drawing inspiration from Guy Debords Society of the Spectacle and a wide range
of other free thinkers and intellectuals, Brad Evans and Henry A. Giroux ana-
lyze how todays dominant economic system neoliberalism uses consumer-
ism, privatization, and mass media to neutralize and control the publics
participation in its own aairs. The consequence, they argue, is a mode of
existence that encourages us all to become voyeurs of suering, while deny-
ing us the ability of connecting subjugation and willful oppression to wider
systemic forces.
Brimming with ideas and insights, Disposable Futures oers a sweeping, big-
picture critique of consumption- driven society and how state and corporate
power use and abuse violence to redene citizenship, national security, and
economics in order to enrich the few. From movies and entertainment to ex-
treme weather and acts of terror, Evans and Giroux take readers on a fascinat-
ing exploration of politics, culture, and power to expose how the production
of spectacle shapes and controls social realities while diminishing meaningful
civic life and community.
Centered on the power of public education, Evanss and Girouxs critique
is rooted in a deep sense of hope in humanity and the emancipatory possi-
bilities for dignied and nonviolent forms of living, learning, and resisting.
Brad Evans and Henry A. Giroux are internationally renowned educators, au-
thors, and intellectuals. Together, they curate a forum for Truthout.com that
explores the theme of Disposable Futures. Evans is director of the Histories of
Violence Project at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. Giroux holds
the global TV network chair professorship at McMaster University.

The Bell Tolls for No One is a book of previously uncollected short ction by every-
ones favorite dirty old man, Charles Bukowski. Beginning with the illus-
trated, unpublished 1947 story, A Kind, Understanding Face, continuing
through his famous underground newspaper column, Notes of a Dirty Old
Man, and concluding with his hardboiled contributions to 1980s glossy adult
magazines, The Bells Tolls for No One encompasses the entire range of Bukowskis
talent as a short story writer, from straight- up genre stories to postmodern
blurring of fact and ction. Designed not only for Bukowski fans, but also for
readers new to his work, the book contains an informative introduction by
editor David Stephen Calonne that provides historical context for these seem-
ingly scandalous and chaotic tales, revealing the hidden hand of the master at
the top of his form. Also included are several of Bukowskis own illustrations.
Born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, California, Charles
Bukowski published his rst story when he was twenty- four and began writing
poetry at the age of thirty- ve. His rst book of poetry was published in 1959;
he would eventually publish more than forty- ve books of poetry and prose.
He died of leukemia in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994.
David Stephen Calonne has edited three previous books of uncollected prose
by Charles Bukowski for City Lights Publishers. He is the author of several
books, including the critical study Charles Bukowski, and the editor of Charles
Bukowski: Sunlight Here I Am/Interviews and Encounters 1963-1993.

One of the longest relationships between a
publisher and a writer, documented in an intimate
correspondence spanning their respective careers.
In 1969, Allen Ginsberg wrote to his friend, fellow poet, and publisher
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Alas, telephone destroys letters! Fortunately, how-
ever, by then the two had already exchanged a treasure trove of personal cor-
respondence, and more than any other documents, their letters intimate,
opinionated, and action- packed reveal the true nature of their lifelong
friendship and creative relationship. Collected here for the rst time, they
oer an intimate view into the range of artistic vision and complementary
sensibilities that fueled the genius of their literary collaborations.
Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg were two of the twentieth centurys most in-
uential literary rebels, and their correspondence documents a time when
both were rising to the peak of their notoriety and international fame, travel-
ing, writing, publishing, and performing their poetry during a period of un-
prece dented social and cultural experimentation and upheaval. Ferlinghetti
was Ginsbergs publisher and editor, and the correspondence begins with a
telegram from Lawrence after hearing Allens legendary reading of Howl at
the Six Gallery: I greet you at the beginning of a great career. When do I get
the manuscript?
The majority of the letters collected here have never before been pub-
lished, and they span the period from 1955 until Ginsbergs death in 1997.
Facsimiles and photographs enhance the collection, an evocative portrait of
an inspiring and enduring relationship.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti is an internationally renowned poet, painter, pub-
lisher, and founder of City Lights Books.
Allen Ginsberg was a leading member of the Beat Generation and an award-
winning poet best known as the author of Howl & Other Poems, among many
other works.

There was no one in this country as ferocious, as brilliant, or as necessary as
Pedro Pietri. In these days of growing inequality it is his rebel vision I turn to
for hope and for strength. A towering poet, absolutely peerless, explosively tal-
ented, a pioneer, and iconoclast, and activist, to whom the entire spoken word
movement owes a debt beyond calculation. Junot Daz
One of the great American poets of the twentieth century, a leader of the
Nuyorican poetry movement that ignited at Miguel Algarns Nuyorican Poets
Cafe. Perhaps the most progressive and at the same time funniest poet of the
period. Amiri Baraka
Pedro Pietris often playfully absurd poems chronicle the joys and struggles of
Nuyoricans urban Puerto Ricans whose lives straddle the islands of Puerto
Rico and Manhattan and dene the Latino experience in urban America. By
turns angry, heartbreaking, and hopeful, his writings are imbued with a sense
of pride and nationalism and were embraced by the generation of Latino poets
that followed him. Pedro Pietri: Selected Poetry gathers the most enduring and trea-
sured work among his published books, Puerto Rican Obituary, Trac Violations, and
Out of Order, along with a generous selection of previously unpublished works.
Pedro Pietri (19442004) was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and raised in
Manhattan. In the early 1970s he co- founded the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
Juan Flores is a professor and director of Latino studies at New York University.

An epic, historical novel about a bold, transgressive woman whose
life became the subject of Cubas most sensational legal trial.
In 1809, at the age of eighteen, Henriette Faber enrolled herself in medical
school in Paris and since medicine was a profession prohibited to women,
she changed her name to Henri in order to matriculate. She would spend the
next fteen years practicing medicine and living as a man.
Drafted to serve as a surgeon in Napoleons army, Faber endured the hor-
rors of the 1812 retreat across Russia. She later embarked to the Caribbean
and set up a medical practice in a remote Cuban village, where she married
Juana de Len, an impoverished local. Three years into their marriage, de
Len turned Faber in to the authorities, demanding that the marriage be an-
nulled. A sensational legal trial ensued, and Faber was stripped of her medi cal
license, forced to dress as a woman, sentenced to prison, and ultimately sent
into exile. She was last seen on a boat headed to New Orleans in 1827.
In this, his last published work, Antonio Bentez-Rojo takes the outline
provided by historical events and weaves a richly detailed backdrop for Faber,
who becomes a vivid and complex gure grappling with the strictures of her
time. Woman in Battle Dress is a sweeping, ambitious epic, in which Henriette
Faber tells the story of her life, a compelling, entertaining, and ultimately tri-
umphant tale.
Antonio Bentez-Rojo (19312005) is widely regarded as the most signi-
cant Cuban author of his generation. He is the author of Sea of Lentils and
The Repeating Island, among other works.

A book for children and their parents, teachers, and cool
grown- up friends documenting Americas famous and unsung heroines.
Like all childrens AZ books, this one illustrates the alphabet but instead
of A is for Apple, A is for Angela as in Angela Davis, the iconic political
activist. B is for Billie Jean King, who shattered the glass ceiling of sports;
C is for Carol Burnett, who deed assumptions about women in comedy;
D is for Dolores Huerta, who organized farmworkers; and E is for Ella Baker,
who mentored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and helped shape the Civil Rights
movement.
And the list keeps getting better, spanning several centuries, multiple pro-
fessions, and twenty- six diverse women. Each letter introduces us to a woman
and her story, except for X, which stands for all the women whose names we
dont yet and might not ever know. There are artists and abolitionists, sci-
entists and suragettes, rock stars and rabble- rousers, and agents of change
of all kinds over half of whom are women of color, and many are queer or
transgender. This accessible, inspiring, well- researched text is accompanied
by gorgeous paper- cut portraits: artwork rooted in an aesthetic history of
politically charged woodcuts and prints.
American history was made by countless phenomenal women. By oering
a diverse and fresh array of female role models, we can remind readers that
there are many places to nd inspiration, and that being smart and strong and
brave is rad. The book includes an introduction that discusses what it means
to be rad and radical, a glossary of terms, a bibliography for further read-
ing, and a resource guide for parents and teachers.

In shutting out shut- eye in favor of productivity,
have we created an insomnia culture?
For forty years, RM Vaughan has been ghting, and failing, to get his forty
winks each night. Hes not alone, not by any stretch.
More and more studies highlight the health risks of undersleeping, yet we
have never been asked to do more, and for longer. And we cant stop thinking
that a lack of sleep is heroic: snoozing is a kind of laziness, after all. But why,
when we know more about the value of sleep, are we obsessed with twenty-
four- hour workdays and deliberate sleep deprivation?
Working outward from his own experience, Vaughan explores this insom-
nia culture weve created, predicting a cultural collision will we soon have to
legislate rest, as France has done? and wondering about the cause- and- eect
model of our shorter attention spans. Does the fact that we are almost uni-
versally underslept change how our world works? We know its an issue with,
say, pilots and truck drivers, but what about artists does an insomnia culture
change creativity? And what are the long- term cultural consequences of this
increasing sacrice for the ever- elusive goal of total productivity?
RM Vaughan is the author of nine books and many short video works. He
contributes essays on culture and society to numerous publications and his
video works play in galleries and festivals around the world.

good. So, what can we learn from the bad play? Jordan Tannahill, after talk-

renewed theater, one that is less insular, less insulting, with better infrastructure.
In reconsidering dramaturgy, programming strategies, and alternative mod-

A beautiful allegory for humanity and a devastating insight
into the canine mind. Youll never see Fido the same way.
Somewhere around midnight, Rosie, an Alsatian, stopped licking herself and wondered how long she
would be in the place she found herself. She then wondered what had happened to the last litter shed
whelped. It suddenly seemed grossly unfair that one should go through the trouble of having pups only
to lose track of them.
One summer night in Toronto, Hermes and Apollo make a drunken bet about
the possibility of human happiness. And so they grant human consciousness
to a group of dogs overnighting at a veterinary clinic. Having suddenly been
given more complex thought, the pack is soon torn between those who re-
sist language, preferring their old dog ways, and those who embrace it. The
gods watch from above as some of the dogs turn violently on one another
until only three are left: wily Benjy moves from home to home, intelligent
Majnoun nds a surprisingly human relationship with a kind couple, and
Prince becomes a poet. For Hermes to win, one of the dogs must be happy
at his death.
An utterly convincing and moving look at the beauty and perils of
consciousness.

When the king of Chinksta rap disappears, his younger brother Run
must navigate the unstable underbelly of a musical revolution.
Everything was about to change. In less than forty- eight hours guyd be taking the stage in Vancouver,
owning an audience meant for some all- hype- no- talent young- money rapper, spitting next- level
truths thatd have A&Rs scrapping for him coast to coast. Hed ink some paper and drop an album on
the world it didnt even know it had been waiting for. All with game and swag to spare.
This was the edge, the almost there, and we knew it.
Chinksta rap is all the rage in small- town Alberta. And the king of Chinksta is
King Kwong, high- schooler Runs older brother. Run isnt a fan of Kwongs
music or personality, really. But when Kwong goes missing the night before
his crowning performance and his mom gets wounded in crossre, Run nds
himself, with his sidekick, Ali, in the middle of a violent battle between
rival Chinese rap gangs, on the run from his crushs behemoth brother, and
rethinking his feelings about his family and their history, his hatred of rice-
rap, and what it means to be Asian.
With imaginAsian and a air for the rap lyric, Jon Chan Simpson mashes
up the (graphicless) graphic novel and the second- generation- immigrant
narrative to forge a bold new vision of what the novel can be.
Jon Chan Simpson grew up in Red Deer, Alberta, and lives in Toronto,
Ontario. He is a graduate of the University of Torontos MA creative writing
program, and his work has been featured in Ricepaper magazine.

From the 1870s to the 1950s, waves of immigrants to Toronto Irish, Jewish,
Chinese, and Italian, among others landed in The Ward in the center of
downtown. Deemed a slum, the area was crammed with derelict housing and
ethnic businesses; it was razed in the 1950s to make way for a grand civic
plaza and modern city hall. Archival photographs and contributions from
fty voices, from academic to anecdotal, nally tell the story of this complex
neighborhood and the lessons it oers about immigration and poverty in big
cities. Contributors include historians, politicians, architects, and descen-
dents of Ward residents on subjects including playgrounds, tuberculosis, bur-
lesque houses, and Chinese laundries.

Moving from the absurdity of the First World War to the chaos of todays cities,
where men share beds, bottles of ouzo, and shade from willow trees, these
poems ask questions: If your lover speaks in his sleep, how do you know you
is you? Can you wake him to move his arm? What if you think of the perfect
comeback to a six- year- old argument? Otter fails, with style, to nd answers.

Joness sense of place is acute, and his passion for the landscape for its col-
ors, its creatures, its textures, its scents is absolutely magnetic. Sarah Waters
A dark, tense, and vital short novel. . . . Profound, powerful, and utterly
absorbing. The Guardian
It is a book about the essentials: life and death, cruelty and compassion. It is
a book that will get in your bones, and haunt you. Daily Telegraph
Cynan Joness fourth novel, The Dig, is an extraordinarily powerful work not
in spite of its brevity but because of it. . . . In its marriage of profound lyri-
cism and feeling for place, deep human compassion and uninching savagery,
this brief and beautiful novel is utterly unique. Financial Times
Built of the interlocking fates of a badger- baiter and a farmer struggling
through lambing season, The Dig unfolds in a stark rural setting where man,
animal, and land are at loggerheads. There is no bucolic pastoral here: this
is pure, pared- down rural realism, crackling with compressed energy, from a
writer of uncommon gifts.
Cynan Jones was born near Aberaeron, Wales, in 1975. He is the author of
three novels, The Long Dry (winner of a Betty Trask Award, 2007), Everything I
Found on the Beach (2011), and The Dig (2014), winner of the Jerwood Fiction
Uncovered Prize. He is also the author of Bird, Blood, Snow (2012), the retelling of
a medieval Welsh myth. The Dig is his rst novel published in the United States.

Tiger stripper, felon, best-selling author
on dancing as Helen Keller, her grandfathers suicide,
eighteenth-century killers, and the best red velvet cake.
On a slab thats all Katrina left of her Mississippi home, Tiger tells her story,
and it is as American as Horatio Alger, Schwabs Pharmacy, and a tent re-
vival. She was a stripper, but is she now a performance artist and best- selling
author, and it is really Barbara Walters shes narrating this tale to? Were too
dazzled to know more than that this is about how a girl ends up in the back-
wash of decadence and sin and how out of the otsam and jetsam she might
construct a story of herself and the South to carry her to salvation.
Serial killers, preachers, and prison ower- arranging classes. Bikers, bad
boyfriends, and a stripper who performed as a Trans Am. Tiger has seen it
all and as she sits on her slab, identifying anecdotes as they go by, we witness
Selah Saterstrom at her greatest funny, bawdy, and steeped in the landscape
and all the devastation it has created and absorbed.
Selah Saterstrom is the author of the novels The Pink Institution, The Meat and Spirit
Plan, and Slab, all published by Coee House Press. She is also the author of
Tiger Goes to the Dogs, a limited edition letterpress project published by Nor By

[Genoa] invites us to pass our minds down a new but ancient track, to become,
ourselves, both fact and ction, and to discover something true about the
geography of time. William Gass, The New York Times
Genoa is a spectacular confrontation with Melvilles work, the journals of
Columbus and molecular biology all folded into a hallucinatory narrative
about two brothers and their dierent paths through the American century.
Publishers Weekly
Much like his great- grandfather, Herman Melville, Paul Metcalf brings an
extraordinary diversity of materials into the complex patterns of analogy and
metaphor, to aect a common term altogether brilliant in its imagination.
Robert Creeley
A unique work of historical and literary imagination, eloquent and powerful.
I know of nothing like it. Howard Zinn
First published in 1965, Genoa is Paul Metcalfs purging of the burden of his
relationship to his great- grandfather Herman Melville. In his signature poly-
phonic style, a storm- tossed Indiana attic becomes the site of a reckoning with
the life of Melville; with Columbus, and his myth; and between two brothers
one, an MD who refuses to practice; the other, an executed murderer. Genoa
is a triumph, a novel without peer, that vibrates and sings a quintessentially
American song.
Paul Metcalf (191799) was an American writer and the great- grandson of
Herman Melville. His three volume Collected Works were published by Coee
House Press in 1996.

When love, lust, and longing have all but killed you, and Newtonian phys-
ics has become too painfully restrictive, is it possible to nd freedom in an-
other dimension? Have you lost the will to live, or the will to live as human?
Castaways in unmapped terrain, the characters in The Hope of Floating Has
Carried Us This Far burrow underground in tunnels made by ancient nau-
tiluses. They lay eggs by the seashore, and greet the sailors who come to
carry those eggs away. And each by each, they choose to livebut to surren-
der their human forms. From within their peculiar neither-here-nor-there-
doms, they learn to live in unbounded states, with edges that can no longer be
marked, and meanings that can no longer be dened.

The ambition of this project was to capture the spirit of a nation, to pre sent photographically the
portrait of the Italians. At the beginning of the sixties, I crisscrossed Italy from north to south, stay-
ing each time for three weeks, returning to Paris, developing and examining the images, and then
leaving again for another region. . . .
The sociability and freedom of the street, the piazza, the festival, are all gone. Everything is more
hidden, to be discovered, but our counterparts are still capable of expressing a certain vitality, and this
people that no longer knows whether it can dene itself as such, gets about nevertheless, encounters,
seeks, reacts. There are few of them, place by place, situation by situation, but as they are to be found
everywhere, in the end there are many. And it is on them that should rest once again the opportunity
for a new reconstruction, a new sociabilityif it were only possible to escape the omnipresence of the
authorities, the information machine, the prison-obsession of consumerism, the choice-obligation of
being consumers rather than citizens, of being spectators rather than actors.
This is a sensitive portrait of Italian society in the early sixties by the well-
known photographer Bruno Barbey from Magnum Photos. From 1961 to
1964, Barbey spent a lot of time in Italy trying to capture the spirit of the na-
tion through his photography.

Tim Parchikov has developed a conceptual approach out of his travel experi-
ences, capturing the world with an uneasy and curious eye, rendering it at the
same time hyper- real and yet pictorial. The Suspense project is the visual mani-
festo of the new lost generation of young people who, at the turn of the cen-
tury, acquired complete freedom of information and movement as well as the
illusion of all- pervasive communication, yet forfeited an integrated system
of value judgement and were unexpectedly confronted by complete isolation.
Their lives turned into a lonely journey in search of lost self- identication.
Any halting point and encounter with reality during this journey became a
form of suspense.

living icons, William Kleins celebrated

Sixty years after Life is Good and Good for You in New York, his rst book and one of
the most important in the history of photography, William Klein takes on a
new challenge: shoot Brooklyn in digital. This technique becomes a way for
the master of the sthetic of chaos to refresh his approach to the New York
borough. No rules, no limits, no holding back. Such is his motto. What is
important is to capture the exuberance and impertinence of life. For many
weeks, the artist wandered the streets, worked days and nights, shot from the
window of his car, and roved the beaches of Coney Island and Brighton. With
these images, Klein creates a kaleidoscope of Brooklyn.

The Wall, certainly, but also the legendary Trabant, emblem of an entire
country. The queues in front of the shops, the May Day parades, the endless
and lengthy postwar reconstruction. And then there was the punk scene with
its young rebels, the widespread practice of nudism, the excursions in the ro-
mantic countryside of classical German literature. East Germany, the country
that imploded in the recent history of Europe, was a combination of those im-
ages, sensations, and inferences that Augusto Bordato, a sensitive connoisseur
of Germanys recent history, collected during the years he spent in East Berlin,
both before and after the Wall fell.
In a series of interviews, the viewer
will discover memories and anecdotes

Richard Siken writes about love, desire, violence, and eroticism with a cine-
matic brilliance and urgency. The Hungton Post
Richard Sikens debut, Crush, won the Yale Younger Poets Prize, sold over
twenty thousand copies, and earned him a devoted fan- base. In this much-
anticipated second book, Richard seeks denite answers to indenite ques-
tions: what it means to be called to make whether it is a self, love, war, or
art and what it means to answer that call. In poems equal parts contra-
diction and clarity, logic and dream, Siken tells the modern world an un-
forgettable fable about itself.
From The Museum:
Two lovers went to the museum and wandered the rooms.
He saw a painting and stood in front of it
for too long. It was a few minutes before she
realized he had gotten stuck. He was stuck looking
at a painting. She stood next to him, looking at his
face and then the face in the painting. What do you
see? she asked. I dont know, he said. He didnt
know. She was disappointed, then bored. He was
looking at a face and she was looking at her watch.
This is where everything changed . . .

Very dicult- to- pronounce rhododendron whatever
Rhododendron even is I would have to look it up myself,
This word sounding pued up, peacocky with its
Indianapolisly- long spelling, all those letters moving in and out.
But the plant itself, the plant and the bees that nd it:
The bees see in its purple ower, rst, a purple ower.
They do not spell it. They do not live in fear of quizzes,
Purple oering what it has to oer, unapologetic, without further
Denition, purple irresistible to the artists and to the bees eye
Who can blame either one this rst- grade impulse toward love?
Purple, always wearing something low- cut . . .

I dont believe in tame poetry. . . . Poetry busts guts. Frank Stanford
The poetry publishing event of the season, this six- hundred- plus page book
highlights the arc of Frank Stanfords all- too- brief and incandescently bril-
liant career.
Despite critical praise and near- mythic status as a poet and documentary
lmmaker, Frank Stanfords oeuvre has never fully been unied. The mystery
and legend surrounding his life and his suicide before the age of thirty has
made it nearly impossible to fully and accurately celebrate his body of work.
Until now.
Introduced by Dean Young, this welcome and necessary volume includes
hundreds of previously unpublished poems, a short story, an interview, and is
richly illustrated with draft poems, photographs, and ephemera.

I go over to nasty willys bridge
and throw them into the creek
there in the shade I listen

Emmy Awardwinning journalist Jerey Brown explores the intersections be-
tween politics and poetry in his debut book The News. From a high- security
prison in Arizona to a West Point classroom to a slum in Haiti, Browns poems
share the perspectives of inmates, cadets, and survivors. Browns voice is in-
trospective and compassionate as he addresses both the news from home
and natural disasters that cause large- scale suering. In Browns own words,
poetry is an accounting of what it means to be alive in this world, and his
work unites the often disconnected worlds of news and poetry.

Joudahs poetry thrives on dramatic shifts in perspective, on continually

vented a new poetic form: textu. The u in textu echoes the one in haiku,
and also emphasizes the intimate you. A textu poem has a single rule: be ex-

reveals new possibilities and poetry in unexpected ways.

Deborah Landau . . . is both confessional and direct, like Sylvia Plath and
Allen Ginsberg. Her taut, elegant, highly controlled constructions meditate
upon yearning and selfhood. Booklist
Deborah Landaus The Uses of the Body presents the very specic challenges of
woman hood. Her poems address what it means to be alive right now in a
female body. She lls her poetry with compelling nouns: wine glasses, bridal
gowns, and books and teacups and ghosts. And what ghosts: underneath

From Mr and Mrs End of Suering:
The uses of the body are wake up.
The uses of the body, illusion.
The uses of the body. Rinse repeat.
To make another body.
September. Draw the blanket up.
Lace your shoes.
The major and minor passions. Sunlight. Hair.
The basic pleasures. Tomatoes, Keats, meeting a smart man for a drink.
The uses of the body.
It is only a small house. It gets older.

Norman Dubie is one of our premier poets. The New York Times
Dubies poems are unmatched in their incandescent imaginings, gor-
geous language, and fearless tracking of the inexorably turning wheel of
existence. Booklist
In his twenty- ninth collection of poems, Norman Dubie returns to a rich,
color- soaked vision of the world. Strangeness becomes a parable for com-
passion, each poem leading the reader to an uncommon way of understand-
ing human capacities. In the futuristic sphere of The Quotations of Bone, the mind
wanders meditatively into an imaginative and uncontainable history.
From The Quotations of Bone:
The meal of bone was a soured milk
just the heads of giant elk
in a dark circle looking down
on a wooden bowl of soda crackers
and pork. One large knife
resting in the meat
of a woodsmans calloused hand.
He grins at his woman
who is slowly poisoning him
with the stringy resins of morning glory.
A tasteless turpentine with pink pig.
The speeches of bone
are matrimonial in early autumn
by January theres a froth of blood
at a nostril . . .
Norman Dubie is a Regents professor at Arizona State University. He lives in
Tempe, Arizona.

Youngs Bender is a book of survival and strength, of seeing even in the small-
est things the heights of what we can be. Thats as good a denition of contem-
porary poetry as any. NPR
This book reads like a long, breathless thank you for lifes seemingly random
jumble of beauty, strangeness, tenderness, and joy. Los Angeles Times
Bender gathers the abundant treasure from Dean Youngs twelve volumes.
Strongly inuenced by Surrealism, Youngs poems ash with extravagant
imagery, humorous speech, sly views of the quotidian, mercurial hip- shake
shifts, and exposed nerves of heartache.
From Commencement Address:
. . . Someone has to come out
the other end of the labyrinth
saying, Whats the big deal?
Someone has to spend all day staring
at the data from outer space
or separating the receipts
or changing the sheets in sour room after room.
I like it when the end of the toilet paper
is folded into a point.
I like napkins folded into swans
because I like wiping my mouth on swans . . .

[Fitzpatricks collages] can win you over with their emotion and erudition,
both illuminating the greatness of Chicago, as well as with their physical solid-
ity. They are best seen as highly disciplined exercises in nostalgia; their speci-
city reveals something new about the time and place they yearn for, as well as
the medium they use. The New York Times
Its hard to think of a truer Chicago character than Tony Fitzpatrick. He
has been a gure in the Chicago art scene for decades: a renowned collage
artist, a poet and author, a former radio host, an actor, and a playwright.
The Hungton Post
Featuring a foreword by Steve Earle, the sixty essays and corresponding full-
color artwork in Tony Fitzpatricks Dime Stories celebrate a life spent passion-
ately devouring stories. Originally published in Chicagos Newcity magazine,
Tony Fitzpatrick covers bird watching, tattoos, politics, and creating museum-
collected art in the controversial style his longtime fans have come to expect.
Tony Fitzpatrick is a Chicago- based artist best known for his multimedia col-
lages, printmaking, paintings, and drawings. Fitzpatricks works are inspired
by Chicago street culture, cities he has traveled to, childrens books, tattoo
designs, and folk art. Fitzpatrick has authored or illustrated eight books of
art and poetry, and, for the last two years, has written a column for Newcity.
Fitzpatricks art appears in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City,
the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and the National Museum of
American Art in Washington, DC.

Deep Vellum Publishing is a nonprot publishing house founded in Dallas, Texas, in 2013 that
operates under the threefold mission to publish great works of international literature in English
translation; to foster the art and craft of translation; and to promote a more vibrant book culture and
literary community in Dallas and beyond.
The importance of reading world literature is at the heart of Deep Vellums mission: we watch
the news to understand whats happening in the world; we read translated literature to understand
how the world thinks and feels. Cultures communicate with each other through their literatures, and
Deep Vellum was established to broaden cultural connections across the English- reading world by
connecting readers with international authors in new and creative ways.
Diversity of authors genders, countries, languages, continents, viewpoints, sexual orientation,
styles of literature is one of the most unique aspects of our books that will resonate with readers.
Our rst year alone includes prominent authors who have been published in English before (Carmen
Boullosa, Mikhail Shishkin, Jn Gnarr); renowned authors who have won prestigious prizes appearing
in English for the rst time (Sergio Pitol, Anne Garrta); and an award-winning debut author from
a marginalized culture (Alisa Ganieva of Dagestan, Russia).
Design is of the utmost importance to us readers eyes will immediately be drawn to the distinctive
beauty of Deep Vellum book covers and spines. The rst three seasons titles feature striking cover
art and beautiful layouts in a linked thematic series designed by Anna Zylicz, a renowned American
graphic designer who lives in Brescia, Italy.
We could not be more excited to be a part of the Consortium family. We look forward to working
together to connect Deep Vellums remarkable authors with readers.

A landmark literary event: the rst novel by a female member
of Oulipo in English, a sexy genderless love story.
Sphinx is the sensational debut novel, originally published in 1986, by the in-
credibly talented and inventive French author Anne Garrta, one of the few
female members of Oulipo, the inuential and exclusive French experimen-
tal literary group whose mission is to create literature based on mathemati-
cal and linguistic restraints, and whose ranks include Georges Perec and Italo
Calvino, among others.
A beautiful and complex love story between a narrator, I, and a lover,
A***, written without any gender markers to refer to the main characters,
Sphinx is a remarkable linguistic feat and paragon of experimental literature
that has never been accomplished before or since in the strictly gendered French
language.
Sphinx is a landmark text in the feminist and LGBT literary canon, and it
now appears in English for the rst time ever.
Anne Garrta (b. 1962) is a lecturer at the University of Rennes II and re-
search professor of literature and Romance studies at Duke University. She
joined the Oulipo in 2000, becoming the rst member born after the Oulipo
was founded in 1960. Garrta won Frances prestigious Prix Mdicis in 2002,
awarded each year to an author whose fame does not yet match their talent,
for her novel Pas un jour.
Emma Ramadan is a graduate of Brown University and received her masters
in literary translation from the American University of Paris. Her translation
of Anne Parians Monospace is forthcoming from La Presse. She is currently on
a Fulbright Fellowship for literary translation in Morocco.

The rollercoaster childhood story of the Icelandic comedian
turned international celebrity whom Noam Chomsky
called his favorite mayor on Earth.
The Indian is a highly entertaining and bittersweet literary memoir in which
Jn Gnarr, the world- famous Icelandic comedian and former Mayor of
Reykjavik, Iceland, revisits his troubled childhood. Diagnosed as retarded
because of his severe dyslexia and ADHD, Gnarr spent time in a childrens
mental institution. Upon release, Gnarr found himself subjected to con-
stant bullying, leading him to lash out against the world, identifying with the
Indians against bully cowboys on TV.
The Indian is the rst book in a trilogy that looks back at Gnarrs childhood
and adolescence, providing an unparalleled coming of age story of an outcast
who overcame the odds and matured into a world- renowned comedian, actor,
writer, and politician. Each book in the trilogy is told with the warmth and
humor that denes Gnarrs unique personality, allowing readers of all ages
to identify with his story.
Jn Gnarr was born in 1967 in Reykjavk, Iceland. He formed the Best Party
in 2009 and became the mayor of Reykjavk in 2010. The most famous come-
dic actor in Iceland, Gnarrs work includes the movies The Icelandic Dream and
A Man Like Me, and the television series The Night Shift, which aired on BBC4.
Lytton Smith (b. 1982) is an Anglo- American poet and translator. He has
taught at Columbia University, Fordham University, and Plymouth University,
and is currently a professor at SUNYOneonta. He has translated two other

The literary debut of a promising young Russian author from
an unknown country, a tale of politics and religion colliding.
Never before has Russian literature produced such an honest and complete
picture of todays Caucasus. Kommersant Weekend (Russia)
The Russian Wall is a major event in contemporary Russian literature.
Ulrich M. Schmid, Neue Zrcher Zeitung (Germany)
This remarkable debut novel by a unique young Russian voice portrays the
noxious eects of political intolerance and religious violence in the lives of
people forced to choose between evils.
The Russian Wall focuses on Shamil, a young local reporter in Makhachkala,
the capital of Russias restive province of Dagestan, and his reactions, or lack
thereof, to rumors that the Russian government is building a wall to cut o the
Muslim provinces of the Caucasus from the rest of Russia. As unrest spreads
and the tension builds, Shamils life is turned upside down, and he can no
longer aord to ignore the violence surrounding him.
With a ne sense for mounting catastrophe, Alisa Ganieva tells the story
of the decline of a society torn apart by its inherent extremes.
Alisa Ganieva, born in 1985, grew up in Makhachkala, Dagestan. Her liter-
ary debut, the novella Salaam, Dalgat!, won the prestigious Debut Prize in 2009.
Shortlisted for all of Russias major literary awards, The Russian Wall is her rst
novel, and has already been translated into several languages. An alumna of the

A masterful storyteller and Cervantes
Prize winner reects on the power of
literature and travel to change our lives.
Reading him, one has the impression . . . of being before the greatest writer
in the Spanish language in our time.Enrique Vila-Matas
The second work in Sergio Pitols remarkable Trilogy of Memory, The Journey is
a unique travelogue that from the rst paragraph dislocates the readers sense
of reality, masterfully and playfully blurring the lines between ction and fact.
This adventurous story, based on the authors own travel journals, takes
place in the waning days of the Soviet Union, as Pitol reects on the impact
of Russias sacred literary pantheon and the power that literature holds over
us all.

A historical examination of tension
and conict on the TexasMexico border,
told from the Mexican perspective,
thats especially relevant today.
Mexicos greatest woman writer.Roberto Bolao
An imaginative writer in the tradition of Juan Rulfo, Jorge Luis Borges, and
Csar Aira, Carmen Boullosa shows herself to be at the height of her powers
with her latest novel. Based on the little-known 1859 Mexican invasion of the
United States, Texas is a richly imagined evocation of the volatile TexasMexico
borderland.
Shedding important historical light on current battles over the Mexican-
American frontier while telling a gripping story with Boullosas singular prose
and formal innovation, Texas marks the welcome return of a major writer who
has previously captivated American audiences and is poised to do so again.

In Cannot Stay, Kevin Oderman explores the reasons we travel in
searching essays about trips to Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
This is a book of journeys, but it is not a guidebook.
Cannot Stay doesnt merely describe traveling to Indonesia, Southeast Asia,
and Europe. It delves into why we leave our front porch in the rst place.
These twelve essays take us from Bali to the Baltics, from Corsica to
Cambodia. But more importantly, they speak to the experience of travel, to
what it means to shake loose your identity and hump all you need in a worn
daypack. Cannot Stay bears witness to how travel reawakens us to the world by
revealing the strange in the familiar and the familiar in the strange.
Check in. A subdued line of passengers, everybody waiting their turn. Someone pushes a small bag
forward, eyeing with a smirk the woman with the luggage trolley. Its always so. And yet, even that
woman is traveling light, leaving behind far more than she could ever pack into a few suitcases. By
necessity, the traveler gives up on things, preferring for a time the experience of going.
Kevin Oderman is the author of two expat novels, including Etruscan Presss
White Vespa. Winner of the Bakeless Prize in nonction, he has taught as a
Fulbright Scholar in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Lahore, Pakistan. He teaches
at both West Virginia University and Wilkes Universitys low- residency crea-

either medium alone.

The Feminist Press at CUNY
Craving whatever she hasnt got and detesting whatever she has, Zoe Pilgers
brilliant and psychically bulimic narrator is everyones anti- Bridget Jones. An
awareness of the pathology of romantic love, and a terror of what lurks in its
absence, lies at the heart of this brutally funny book. Chris Kraus, author
of I Love Dick
Protagonist Ann- Marie wanders through Londons glittery underground of
Bright Young Artists, concussed by life itself. Pilgers love story ctionalizes
her contexts so extremely that every adolescent romance with art, feminism,
even that gross dude she had a one night stand with is only a deceptive form
mobilized to assault neutered authority. A masochistic siren song 100 percent
more awesome than The Little Mermaid. Trisha Low, author of The Compleat Purge
Half- liberated, half- drunk, Ann- Marie is twenty- three, spiraling, and ironi-
cally detached when she meets Stephanie, a supremely serious, second wave
feminist who becomes her mentor. Hilarious and unapologetic, this novel
is a satirical look at the state of the post- post- feminist world and illuminates
how no matter what young women do they are condemned for their sexual
desires, career choices, and everyday philosophies.
Zoe Pilger is an art critic for the Independent, winner of the 2011 Frieze
International Writers Prize, and is currently working on her PhD at Goldsmiths,
University of London. Eat My Heart Out is her rst novel and was published in
the United Kingdom by Serpents Tail to wide acclaim.

This on- the- road mystery follows the search for a missing girl,
providing a scathing commentary on contemporary life.
Apocalypse Baby kept me up several nights in a row in part because its a terric
page- turner, and in part because I was anxious to see how Despentes would
sustain her narrative ride. Apocalypse Baby is more than a compelling punk,
queerish spin on the noir genre. It is a choral performance that tumbles its
readers into the heart of violent spectacle, with all its attendant grief, unease,
and unclarity. Maggie Nelson, author of The Art of Cruelty and professor at the
California Institute of the Arts
Virginie Despentess social criticism is blistering, but her prose is laid- back.
Apocalypse Baby is an addictive feminist thriller that reads like shameless gossip
from your smartest friend. Johanna Fateman, writer and musician
Frances most notorious feminist writer gives us Apocalypse Baby, a raucous road
trip in which two mismatched private investigatorsthe Hyena, a mysterious
and ruthless vigilante, and Lucie, an apathetic and resentful slackercruise
the streets of Paris and Barcelona in search of a missing girl. The duo ques-
tions a cast of unsavory characters, exposing lust, violence, greed, and dis-
illusionment, and the corruption of contemporary youth culture. As their
desperate search unfolds, we careen toward a conclusion no one could have
anticipated.
Cult author and lmmaker Virginie Despentes has written many award-
winning books, including King Kong Theory. She is the co director of the screen
adaptations of her controversial novels Baise- Moi and Bye Bye Blondie. Apocalypse Baby
won the 2010 Prix Renaudot when it was rst published in France.

A refreshingly honest portrayal of divorce, this beautifully illustrated
book offers children the hope of staying whole as parents split.
How can you not love a childrens author who sees so clearly from her read-
ers point of view? Julie Bowen, actress, Modern Family
This book provides, through honest language and evocative imagery, a
uniquely realistic view of how children experience divorce. While neither
softening nor white washing this dicult topic, Higginbotham oers an ulti-
mately comforting message to parents and children experiencing separation
and divorce. Lisa Spiegel, LMHC, director of Soho Parenting NYC
Kids are told, its for the best and one day, it may be. But right now, di-
vorce is the worst. With honesty and humor, Anastasia Higginbotham beau-
tifully conveys the challenge of staying whole when your entire world, and
the people in it, split apart. The rst childrens book to tackle divorce from a
child- validating point of view, Divorce Is the Worst is an invaluable tool for fami-
lies, therapeutic professionals, and divorce mediators struggling to address
this common and complex experience.
Divorce Is the Worst is the rst book in a series of feminist childrens books,
Ordinary Terrible Things, which deals with common childhood crises and
how children themselves nd their own way to cope and grow.
Anastasia Higginbotham is a writer and illustrator in Brooklyn, New York,
whose childhood experience of divorce inspired this book.

Feral House presents an irreverent, educational,
and entertaining collection of essays by the
great contrarian of graphic design, Art Chantry.
There used to be a time when designers were trained in the history of composition. Now theyre
not. Now you just buy a fuckin piece of software and now youve become a designer.
Art Chantry . . . Is he a Luddite? asks a Rhode Island School of Design
poster promoting a Chantry lecture. Or is he a graphic design hero?
For decades this avatar of low- tech design has fought against the cheap and
easy use of digital software. Chantrys homage to expired technology and his
inspired use of Xerox machines and X- Acto blade cuts of printed material
created a much- copied style during the grunge period and beyond.
Chantrys designs were published in Some People Cant Surf: The Graphic Design
of Art Chantry (Chronicle Books), exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum, the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian,
and the Louvre.
More recently, Chantry has drawn upon his extraordinary collection of
twentieth- century graphic art to create compelling histories of the forgot-
ten and unknown on essays he has posted on his Facebook page. These essays
might lionize the unrecognized illustrators of screws, wrenches, and pipes in
equipment catalogs. Other posts might reveal how some famous artists were
improperly recognized.
Art Chantry Speaks is the kind of opinionated art history youve always wanted
to read but were never assigned.

on the cover of the Los Angeles Times Book Review and in the New York Times. This
rich collection, lled with interviews, essays, and color reproductions of
testosterone- heavy thirty- ve- cent magazines with names like Mans Exploits,
Rage, and Escape to Adventure (to name a few), illustrates the culture created to
help veterans confront the confusion of jobs, girls, and the Cold War on

Contributions from the original mens magazine talent like Bruce Jay
Friedman, Mario Puzo, and Mort Knstler bring the reader inside the oces,

To understand human character, one must rst explore
the depraved reaches of human consciousness.
Ian Brady and Myra Hindleys spree of torture, sexual abuse, and murder of
children in the 1960s was one of the most appalling series of crimes ever com-
mitted in England, and remains almost daily xated upon by the tabloid press.
In The Gates of Janus, Ian Brady himself allows us a glimpse into the mind of a
murderer as he analyzes a dozen other serial crimes and killers.
Criminal proling by a criminal was not invented by the dramatists of
Dexter.
Novelist and true- crime writer Colin Wilson, author of the famous and
inuential book The Outsider, remarks in his introduction to Bradys book that
one must rst explore the depraved reaches of human consciousness to truly
understand human character.
When rst released in 2001, The Gates of Janus sparked controversy attended
by a huge media splash. The new edition, the rst in paperback, provides the
reader with a decade and a half of updates, including Bradys letters to the
publisher, both providing information regarding his own demented history
along with demands that Feral House remove its unattering afterword writ-
ten by author Peter Sotos.

Elephant is a quarterly magazine about art and visual culture. Featuring up- to-
the- minute visual material, fresh faces, and original voices, the magazine cov-
ers 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, archi-
tects, designers, and creatives manage to transcend their initial brief and start
thinking like artists. Elephant documents when and how artists wander out-
side the connes of the museum and gallery environment, becoming aware of
trends and thinking like designers.
Direct, sincere, and multidisciplinary, Elephant aims to have more depth
and breadth than any other visual art magazine. It visits art and design studios,
steps on grati artists toes, rides xed- gear bikes, plays with new computer
games, disturbs rehearsals, and interrupts takes. The elephant is always in
the room.

In Addressing Climate Change, world- renowned photographer Henry Dallal goes
behind the scenes to capture the human drama of negotiating a global agree-
ment on climate change. This book celebrates those who have dedicated
their lives to addressing the seemingly impossible challenge of crafting inter-
national policy on this issue and should motivate the rest of us to take part in
one of the most critical issues facing our generation. Edward Norton, actor
and UN Goodwill Ambassador
In December 2015, the nations of the world will gather in Paris with an op-
portunity to make history by signing the rst legally binding global agree-
ment on climate change, commonly referred to as COP21. This will build
on more than two decades of near- constant negotiations on measures to re-
duce greenhouse gas emissions and help nations adapt to the impacts of global
climate change such as rising sea levels, threats to food production, and loss
of biodiversity.
Drawn from tens of thousands of images, this book is a celebration of
the collective eorts of the nations and peoples of the world who have come
together under the framework of the United Nations to reach a global agree-
ment on the future of our common home.
Award- winning photographer Henry Dallal has built a reputation for creat-
ing photographic books of rare beauty. Henrys work has been exhibited
widely including at the Smithsonian Institution, Naples Museum of Art,
and Guildhall and Windsor castles. He has also been honored to photograph

A highly entertaining rsthand account
of life in Damascus in the 1990s.
When Peter Clark arrived in Damascus 1992 to open the new British Council
oce, he was not to know that the next ve years were to give him a unique
window on the upper echelons of Syrian society in the last few years of Hafez
Al- Assads rule. Here we see the dramas and routines of everyday life played
out against the backdrop of the worlds oldest continually inhabited city on
the eve of collapse into civil war. Enchanting and alarming by turns, every-
day events combine to paint a vivid and almost nostalgic picture of life in this
remarkable city.
This highly entertaining and highly personal account of life in Damascus
in the 1990s paints the portrait of a city now immensely remote from the world
we see on our news screens today.
All author royalties are donated to the Saeed.

Solnit [is] the perfect writer to tackle the subject: her prose style is so clear
and cool. The New Republic
In her comic, scathing essay Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit
takes on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women.
She writes about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly as-
sume women dont, why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender war
works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.
The updated edition of this national bestseller features that now- classic
essay with eight others, including #YesAllWomen, a response to 2014 Isla
Vista killings and the grassroots movement that arose in response to confront
violence against women and misogyny.

Craig Whitlock, Pentagon correspondent, The Washington Post
Praise for Nick Turses Kill Anything that Moves:
Harrowing. The New York Review of Books
An indispensable new history of the war. . . . Kill Anything That Moves is a
paradigm- shifting, connect- the- dots history of American atrocities that reads
like a thriller; it will convince those with the stomach to read it that all these
decades later, Americans, certainly the military brass and the White House,
still havent drawn the right lesson from Vietnam. San Francisco Chronicle
You wont see segments about it on the nightly news or read about it on the
front page of Americas newspapers, but the Pentagon is ghting a new shadow
war in Africa, helping to destabilize whole countries and preparing the ground
for future blowback. Behind closed doors, US ocers now claim that Africa
is the battleeld of tomorrow, today. In Tomorrows Battleeld, awardwinning
journalist and best- selling author Nick Turse exposes the shocking true story
of the US militarys spreading secret wars in Africa.
Nick Turse, an awardwinning journalist and historian, is the author and
edi tor of several books, including The Changing Face of Empire: Special Ops, Drones, Spies,
Proxy Fighters, Secret Bases, and Cyberwarfare (Haymarket Books), the managing editor
of TomDispatch, and a fellow at the Nation Institute.

The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater.

and dispossession of the poor by predatory corporations.
Field Notes on Democracy tracks the fault- lines that threaten to destroy Indias
precarious democracy and send shockwaves through the region and beyond.

A critical and engaging overview of how political perspectives
shape the directorial process in lm.
Not everyone will always agree with Mr. Loachs own politics, but the possi-
bility of a better world is integral to the morality of art, nowhere more so than
with Ken Loach. The Guardian
Ken Loach oers rare insights into the process of making socially conscious
yet brilliantly artistic lms. He explores everything from nding the right
script and the process of raising money without having conditions placed on
the work, to the inevitable backlash of creating lms that challenge the domi-
nant social narrative. This short and accessible book oers an intriguing and
experiential look into the creation of legendary lms.
Ken Loach started his career in the theater and went on to become a BBC
television director in 1963. He worked on Z Cars and then the Wednesday Play,
where he directed the classic Cathy Come Home. In 1969, Loach made the award-
winning lm Kes. Loach won the Palme dOr at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival
for his lm The Wind That Shakes the Barley. His lm The Angels Share won the Jury
Prize at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. And in 2014 he was presented with the
Honorary Golden Bear at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival.

Praise for Neil Davidsons How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions?:
I was frankly pole- axed by this magnicent book. Davidson resets the en-
tire debate on the character of revolutions: bourgeois, democratic, and so-
cialist. Hes sending me, at least, back to the library. Mike Davis, author of
Planet of Slums
This is, quite simply, the nest book of its kind. Tony McKenna, Marx and
Philosophy Review of Books
Ranging from the uselessness of the concept of ethnicity to the dierence
between the class politics of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, these essays
focus on the two great themes of nation and revolution, and the third which
links them: the state.
Neil Davidson is the author of The Origins of Scottish Nationhood (2000), Discovering
the Scottish Revolution (2003), for which he was awarded the Deutscher Prize,
and How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions? (2012). Davidson lectures in

Haymarket Books
Written from a Marxist perspective, this book argues that the global economy
is in a depression. The protability of capital is too low and debt built up be-
fore the Great Recession is too high. Roberts argues that the depression will
end when the protability of capital is restored through yet another slump.
This study of Vladimir Lenins conception of the revolutionary party, and
its place in Marxist thought, gives a vibrant sense of the historical context
both Russian and international in which Lenins views were shaped and upon
which they had such a profound impact.
This book provides an invaluable picture of Leon Trotskys intimate expe-
rience as both a leader of, and outcast exile from, the Russian Revolution.
Victor Serge and Natalia Sedovas portrait brings alive in a new way Trotskys
extraordinary life.
This updated edition, with a new introduction by the author, discusses
Chinas transformation from a poor country devastated by war into a major
world power. How did this change come about? What are the real living con-
ditions of the peasants and workers? This book seeks to answer these ques-
tions and more.

Uncovers factors making young people vulnerable to sex trafcking and
describes practical ways we can all intervene and protect youth.
Forget what you thought you knew about domestic sex tracking and the best
ways to prevent it. The problem is larger in scope and involves more factors
than most can imagine. This book lays out what makes young people vulner-
able to tracking, exploring the real root of the problem and the numer-
ous eects of abuse; outlines steps parents and others can take to mitigate
those risk factors; and describes ways to help victims nd healing. Drawing
from her own experience being tracked plus her insights gained from years
of advocacy and anti- tracking work, the author speaks directly not only of
the realities of tracking that occur in our own communities but also the so-
lutions that we can all be a part of. She talks of everyday things we can do to
intervene not rescue youth in troubled lives and homes. The book also
lists hidden signs of trouble and oers parents and professionals practical
tools and knowledge to intervene and make a positive dierence in young
peoples lives.
Savannah J. Sanders is a leading advocate in the prevention of child sex traf-
cking. A survivor of hardships, abuse, and tracking, Savannah is now liv-
ing a full life as a victims advocate, wife, and mother of four. She is currently
pursuing a masters degree in social work and is working with the State of
Arizona Homeless Coordination Oce. Sanders shares her story and speaks
regularly to groups across the United States on anti- tracking eorts and
ways to support victims.

A project of the Poverty Initiative of the Union Theological Seminary in New
York City, Out of the Depths: Poetry of Poverty Courage and Resilience is a compelling
anthology of over one hundred poems by well- known poets (such as Martin
Espada, Naomi Shihab Nye, Gregory Orr, Marilyn Nelson, Wendy McNair,
Brendan Galvin, Julia Alverez, Natasha Tretheway, and Kevin Young) as well
as emerging poets and those never before published about rsthand experi-
ences of poverty.
While the poets hail from diverse locations, cultures, and ethnicities, their
work shares common elements of vivid detail, determination of spirit (either
quiet or passionate), and compelling artistry.

Bestselling soccer biographer Luca Caioli tackles his most controversial sub-

When in late September 2013 Surez, a Liverpool player at the time, re-
turned from a landmark ten- match ban for biting an opponent, one in a long
line of high- prole misdemeanors, it seemed unlikely that he would ever
win over his critics.
In the months that followed, he scored an astonishing thirty- one times,
propelling Liverpool back into the Champions League following a four- year
absence. The World Cup in Brazil followed, but Uruguays Surez saw his
action- packed tournament curtailed after just two games, two goals, and one
moment of madness.

When is your culture bad for you? That is the question that weaves its way
through Oye What Im Gonna Tell You, a startling collection chronicling the lives
of Cuban Americans from WWII- era Havana to contemporary times in
el norte. Whether they inhabit blue collar neighborhoods in the North-
east, the increasingly Latino- populated South, or Florida, the characters that
popu late this book many of whom are the children and grandchildren of
exiles, who have been raised in traditional Cuban homes but whose only
homeland has been the United States must decide what to take and what to
leave from their upbringing.
Cecilia Rodrguez Milans was born in New Jersey to Cuban parents. Her
debut collection of stories, Marielitos, Balseros and Other Exiles (Ig Publishing,
2009), was followed by Everyday Chica, 2010 winner of the Longleaf Press
Poetry Chapbook award. She lives in Orlando, Florida, where she teaches lit-
erature and writing at the University of Central Florida.
A sterling literary debut that combines the
psychological drama of a family unraveling
with the physical thrill of gure skating.

A richly illustrated artistic and cultural history of Leica based on
about eight hundred works and rst published archive material.
A note in a workshop log proves that in 1914, Oskar Barnack put the nishing
touches on the rst working model of a compact camera for 35mm standard
cinema lm. He had not merely invented a new camera the Leica (=Leitz/
camera), not introduced until 1925 due to the war he in fact ushered in a
paradigm shift in photography.
Just in time to mark a milestone birthday of the legendary compact camera,
and for the rst time in this thematic breadth, this volume, with about eight
hundred images, oers a wide artistic and cultural history of the Leica from
the 1920s to the present day.
Essays by international authors examine topics including the technical
genesis of the Leica, its inuence on photojournalism, and its signicance
for a wide variety of avant- garde currents in art photography. Heretofore un-
published documents from the archives of the Leica Camera AG round o
this multifaceted one- hundred- year cultural chronicle.

In her portraits of adolescents, Vee Speers eternalizes a moment of fragile
beauty. She photographs the time before rst loss, the time of childhood. She
captures this in the bodies and faces. And she creates a world layered upon a
world, of characters upon children who are no longer children. She dresses,
styles, costumes, and sometimes masks them. And the big girls and proud
boys who pass through her hands are projected elsewhere. Into their battles,
their modesty, their trouble. Each and every one has a frightening power.
Each and every one, in their manner and in their costume, is invincible.

For forty- ve years, Jerey Silverthorne has been working steadily on an ex-
tensive body of work. With a background in the ne arts and the American
photographic tradition, he developed a photographic oeuvre that moves and
balances between personal experiences, public spaces of presentation, and
staged scenes. Silverthorne explores the question of sex and death, as well as
the notions of boundary and transgression. He has been accumulating series
on extreme subjects: a slaughterhouse, a morgue, brothels, or a community of
transvestites and transexuals.
Silverthornes work is in the permanent collections of the Biblioteque
Nationale, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County
Museum; Yale University Art Gallery; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston;
International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, Rochester;
Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; RISD Museum, Providence; Museum for
Photography, Antwerp; State Gallery of the Czech Republic; Museum of
Fine Arts, Houston, Musee de lElysee Lausanne Switzerland; Lars Swander,
Copenhagen; Christian Caujolle, Paris; and other collections.
This book not only shows an overview of the artists diverse visual lan-
guages, but also a wide range of unseen series.

9/11 is among the most photographically documented events in history. But
photographs of the site in the immediate days after the attack are exceedingly
rare. French photographer, director, and producer Stphane Sednaoui felt
compelled not as a photographer but as a human being to rush down to
what would come to be known as Ground Zero, to volunteer in the search and
rescue eorts. In the moments when the workers would pause, he would take
pictures.
Stphane Sednaoui has received critical acclaim for directing landmark videos
with U2, Madonna, Bjrk, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among others.

of corruption.

Myths and legends have often been inspired and shaped by geologic landforms
and, similarly, British photographer David Parker uses the natural world as
an arena for the personal exploration of new mythic, symbolic, and meta-
phoric motifs.
Myths and Landscape brings together images from Sirens and New Desert Myths, two
larger projects created in parallel and sharing a common esthetic. For Parker,
the siren song is a call to contemplation, and his pictures chart many fasci-
nated encounters with an enchanted world of forgotten archetypes, further
exploring the tension between the temporal and eternal in our secular age.

America. At 414 miles, the predominantly dirt road follows the upper half of
the Trans- Alaska Pipeline, and is maintained exclusively as the transporta-
tion route for the oil elds at Prudhoe Bay. Alaskan photographer Ben Hu
followed the road north for the rst time in 2007, in search of the Alaskan
frontier. He found a complex landscape the physical and psychological line
between wilderness and oil. For ve years he traveled the road, and created
a melancholy portrait of a space that asks us to reconsider our perception of

Dream. Frustrated by the lack of images that document the true and some-
times troubling nature of his own familial history, the photographer set out
to create a new archive, a potent supplement to the broken family album that
exists in many families.
Using photographs made over the last decade and altered, amateur pho-
tographs, he weaves a family narrative that is simultaneously beautiful and

This is Serge Clments rst major retrospective, including forty years of
work. The title DPays refers partly to the disorientation of ones living envi-
ronment and in the mind. The universal cityscape surfaces as abstract mul-
tiple layers of asphalt, architecture, and streetlights. Like a journey into the
heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Clments work draws the viewer
into an intimate relationship with the image. As the images accumulate, they
create an imaginary density of timeless fragments.
Serge Clment has had solo exhibitions around the world and his works are
found in many public and private collections in Canada and abroad.

People nd them really visually pleasing when they dont know whats in the
photo, Tammi says, They sometimes change their mind when they nd out.
In Leftover, portraits of used radiation therapy masks, collected from hos-
pitals, deal with the fear of sickness; both dened and undened.
The intriguingly designed double book Leftover / Removals combines both
series into a parallel story.

loved how the Polaroid interpreted what I saw. The limitations of the plastic lens softened the features
captured in stone; the softened stone wings became real wings.

of the studio were rooted in Swedish modernism, and had the EMS- project
shaped in accordance to the social democratic cultural policy of the time. This
enabled the project to achieve continuous nancial support, e.g., to purchase
computers in 1969. Today EMS holds events and owns six studios and a li-

From the 1960s to the present day, few Muslims, even those with quib-
bles, have doubted that In the Shade of the Quran is a remarkable intellectual
achievement. John Calvert, associate professor of history at Creighton
University and author of Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism
Widely considered to be of the most inuential Quranic commentaries of
the twentieth century. Muhammad Mojlum Khan, author of The Muslim 100
and The Muslim Heritage of Bengal
This commentary on the entire Quran vigorously explores its rich wisdom in a
clear and coherent style. It is universally recognized as a momentous work of
reference for an understanding of contemporary Islamic thinking, particu-
larly the interpretation of the Quran in the twentieth century.
With a focus on conveying the timeless messages found in the Quran,
Sayyid Qutbs commentary aims to reassure and rearm the essence and value
of faith and its profound role in the life of man instead of focusing on legalis-
tic issues. This foregrounds the moral and social advantages of each command
along with their role in personal and collective life.
Prefaced to each chapter is an introduction to its content, summarizing the
main message of the surah. Moreover, each chapter is divided by topic in order
to draw out the prevalent themes in a harmonized way.
Sayyid Qutb (190666) was born in Egypt in 1906. He started his career as lit-
erary writer and critic, and progressed to become one of the most original and
independent Muslim thinkers of his time. He was executed by the Nasser re-
gime of Egypt on August 1, 1966. Qutb has more than twenty- ve literary
works to his name, of which In the Shade of the Quranhis tafsir written, and re-
written, over a period of fteen years, most of which were spent in Egyptian
prisonsis the largest and most important.

Hill gives up plenty of laughs to go with the pain . . . a ne rst novel from
a writer with a great sense of character. Booklist
One of this summers most pleasant surprises. Austin American- Statesman
A slow burn, but by the end its burning hot. . . . This is writing on par
with that of top- ight black- comic novelists like Sam Lipsyte and Jess Walter.

A witty, snarky, thoroughly enjoyable read. Portland Book Review
A keen, at times riveting, understanding of the absurdities and freedoms of
small- town isolation and the dying way of life that was once the American
standard. Shelf Awareness

An eye for detail, an ear for dialogue, and a knack for storytelling distinguish
this uninching novel of rural America. Publishers Weekly

Yoga continues to be a growth industry with an estimated thirty million people

perfect- length readings plus tens of quotes that are just right for ending a yoga
class or private session. Honoring many spiritual traditions, its the perfect

Redening the face of the American farmer.
Imagine the typical American farmer. Many people visualize sun- roughened
skin, faded overalls, and calloused hands hands that are usually white. While
theres no doubt the growing trend of organic farming and homesteading is
changing how the farmer is portrayed in mainstream media, farmers of color
are still largely left out of the picture.
The Color of Food seeks to rectify this. By recognizing the critical issues that
lie at the intersection of race and food, this stunning collection of portraits
and stories challenges the status quo of agrarian identity. Author, photogra-
pher, and biracial farmer Natasha Bowenss quest to explore her own roots in
the soil leads her to unearth a larger story, weaving together the seemingly for-
gotten history of agriculture for people of color, the issues they face today, and
the culture and resilience they bring to food and farming.
The Color of Food teaches us that the food and farm movement is about more
than buying local and protecting our soil. It is about preserving culture and
community, digging deeply into the places weve overlooked, and honoring
those who have come before us. Blending storytelling, photography, oral his-
tory, and unique insight, these pages remind us that true food sovereignty
means a place at the table for everyone.
Natasha Bowens is an author, farmer, and creator of the multimedia proj-
ect The Color of Food. Her advocacy focuses on food sovereignty and social issues.

Most of us understand the value of eating and buying local. Taking back our
food, goods, and services from multinational corporations and sourcing
them from small growers, producers, artisans, and entrepreneurs benets
our fami lies, our environment, and our communities. Heal Local argues that
100- mile healthcare can be equally valuable in terms of how we treat illness
and injury and maintain wellness.
This innovative guide demonstrates that by harnessing multifaceted whole
plants, we can rely on homegrown or regionally produced herbs rather than
importing exotics and non- natives. Based on the small apothecary model,
author Dawn Combs explains how to:
Maximize the benets of homegrown rst aid, from increased freshness,
potency, and eectiveness to community resilience and local economic
growth
Make home herbal healthcare less intimidating and more attainable,
by focusing on twenty herbs to eectively treat most common injuries
and ailments
Implement a local medicine culture safely and sustainably, while
protecting and respecting wild plant populations
Many herbals overwhelm their readers, presenting a list of hundreds of herbs,
each with a dierent purpose. Heal Local empowers readers by showing that
you dont need to know everything about every herb on the planet to create a
complete home apothecary. Anyone can be self- sucient with their wellness,
regardless of their previous knowledge, experience, or available space.
Dawn Combs is a homestead herbalist with over twenty years experience, and
is the author of Conceiving Healthy Babies. As well as training others in herbal home
healthcare, she treats her familys common illnesses and minor injuries with
natural therapies, herbal remedies, and appropriate foods.

nesses from their home. No capital needed, just good recipes, enthusiasm,

Upcycling trash into treasure
Turning your sh tank into a garden
Making your yard or balcony a work of art
Better is a concrete application of the Better Theory, which views every
experience good or bad as an opportunity for exponential personal growth.
Packed with life lessons and tips for making any lifestyle more sustainable,
while drawing on everyones inherent creativity, this unique book provides
the inspiration to live more simply, take more chances, and engage more with
the natural world. A must- read for anyone who questions the purpose of the
daily grind or grapples with the need for more meaning in his or her life.

Climate change, along with the depletion of oil, coal, and gas, dictate that we
will inevitably move away from our profound societal reliance on fossil fuels;
but just how big a transformation will this be? While many policy-makers as-
sume that renewable energy sources will provide an easy plug- and- play so-
lution, author Richard Heinberg suggests instead that we are in for a wild
ride; a civilization reboot on a scale similar to the agricultural and indus-
trial revolutions.
Afterburn consists of fteen essays exploring various aspects of the twenty-
rst century migration away from fossil fuels including:
Short- term political and economic factors that impede broad- scale,
organized eorts to adapt
The origin of longer- term trends (such as consumerism) that have
created a way of life that seems normal to most Americans, but is
actually unprecedented, highly fragile, and unsustainable
Potential opportunities and sources of conict that are likely to emerge
From the inevitability and desirability of more locally organized economies to
the urgent need to preserve our recent cultural achievements and the futility
of pursuing economic growth above all, Afterburn oers cutting-edge perspec-
tives and insights that challenge conventional thinking about our present, our
future, and the choices in our hands.
Richard Heinberg is a senior fellow of the Post Carbon Institute, the author
of eleven previous books including The Partys Over and The End of Growth. He is
widely regarded as one of the worlds most eective communicators of the ur-
gent need to transition away from fossil fuels.

Progress is the God of the modern world.
What happens once God is dead?
Progress is not just a goal in the West its a religion. Most people believe in
its inherent value as enthusiastically and uncritically as medieval peasants be-
lieved in heaven and hell. Our faith in progress drives the popular insistence
that peak oil and climate change dont actually matter after all, our lab- coated
high priests will surely bring forth yet another miracle to save us all.
Unfortunately, progress as weve known it has been entirely dependent on
the breakneck exploitation of half a billion years of stored sunlight in the form
of fossil fuels. As the age of this cheap, abundant energy draws to a close,
progress is grinding to a halt. Unforgiving planetary limits are teaching us that
our blind faith in endless exponential growth is a dangerous myth.
After Progress addresses this looming paradigm shift, exploring the shape of
history from a perspective on the far side of the coming crisis. John Michael
Greers startling examination of the role our belief systems play in the evolu-
tion of our collective consciousness is required reading for anyone concerned
about making sense of the future at a time when we must seek new sources of
meaning, value, and hope for the era ahead.
John Michael Greer is a scholar of ecological history and an internationally
renowned futurist whose blog, The Archdruid Report, has become one of the most
widely cited online resources dealing with the fate of industrial society. He
is the author of over thirty books, including Green Wizardry and The Long Descent.

Climate change is alarming and complicated. Governments are acting too
slowly or not at all, and not enough people feel informed or empowered
enough to demand action. But ignoring a catastrophe of such magnitude is a
certain path to disaster.
The Big Swim puts forward the idea that personal growth arises from
facing both inner tensions and threats to the biosphere. In a collection of
stories that is frequently touching, surprisingly funny, and always thought-
provoking, author Carrie Saxifrage seeks out the places where science meets
self- discovery, inviting us to join her as she:
Learns the art of appreciation from an ancient jawbone
Hikes solo through the wilderness to nd balance in a eld of
blueberries
Swims for four hours through cold, open water, seeking a eeting state
of grace
Each of the stories in The Big Swim encourages possibilities for greater per-
sonal satisfaction with lower environmental impacts. While exploring signi-
cant topics, such as sustainable forestry, nature- centered philosophy, or First
Nations culture, the author discovers that the greatest adventure is learning to
align how she lives with what she loves. By turning her own despair into action,
she paves the way for us all to discover the many tools we have at hand to meet
the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced.
Carrie Saxifrage is a journalist and author whose work on First Nations re-
sponses to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline has garnered signicant
critical acclaim. In 2006 she committed herself to the most life- arming ad-
venture yet: a low-carbon lifestyle.

Eighty- three million dogs and ninety- six million cats call the United States
home. Dogs alone produce enough waste to ll more than 1,091 football elds
1 foot deep in a single year. Add billions of plastic pick- up bags to the mix and
season well with tons of litter box waste. Scoop a hefty portion into local land-
lls and seal it tightly to ensure optimal methane production. Clearly, this is
a recipe for disaster.
Dog and cat owners who trash their pets oerings daily are in denial about
how much waste is produced and what happens to it. Those who want to make
the responsible choice often turn to the internet, only to nd misleading,
confusing, and contradictory information. The Pet Poo Pocket Guide will help you
reduce your pets environmental paw print with:
Best practices for cycling pet waste back to nature
Suggestions on how to tailor your approach based on location,
situation, weather, needs, or available time
Instructions for using your composted pet waste safely to enrich your
soil and nourish ornamental plants
With recycling tactics clearly indicated as easy, moderate, or demanding,
The Pet Poo Pocket Guide oers something for everyone. This no- nonsense guide is
a must- read for any pet owner who is concerned about the environmental im-
pact of their best friend, and is seeking a safe and practical solution.

Alexandrian Summer is the story of two Jewish families living their frenzied last
days in the doomed cosmopolitan social whirl of Alexandria just before ee-
ing Egypt for Israel in 1951. The conventions of the Egyptian upper- middle
class are laid bare in this dazzling novel, which exposes startling sexual hy-
pocrisies and portrays a now vanished polyglot world of horse- racing, seaside
promenades, and elegant night clubs. Hamdi- Ali senior is an old- time pa-
triarch with more than a dash of strong Turkish blood. His handsome elder
son, a promising horse jockey, cant aord sexual frustration, as it leads him
to overeat and imperil his career, but the woman he lusts after wont let him
get beyond undoing a few buttons. Victor, the younger son, takes his pleasure
with other boys. But the true heroine of the story richly evoked in a pungent
upstairs/downstairs mix is the raucous, seductive city of Alexandria itself.
Published in Hebrew in 1978, Alexandrian Summer appears now in translation
for the rst time.
Yitzhak Gormezano Goren was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1941 and im-
migrated to Israel as a child. A playwright and novelist, Goren studied English
and French literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv

A revolution against the banality of everyday life. Gazeta Krakowska
A young university student named Jurek, with no particular ambitions or tal-
ents, is adrift. After his doting aunt asks him to perform a small chore, he de-
cides to kill her for no good reason other than, perhaps, boredom. Killing Auntie
follows Jurek as he seeks to dispose of the corpse a task more dicult than
one might imagine and then falls in love with a girl he meets on a train. Can
he tell her what hes done? Will that ruin everything?
Im convinced simply that we are all guilty, says Jurek, and his adven-
tures with nosy neighbors, false- toothed grandmothers, and love- making
lynxes shed light on how an entire society becomes involved in the murder
and disposal of dear old Auntie. This is a short comedic masterpiece com-
bining elements of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Jean- Paul Sartre, Franz Kafka, and
Joseph Heller, coming together in the end to produce an unforgettable tale
of murder and just maybe redemption.
Andrzej Bursa was born in 1934 in Krakow, Poland, and died twenty- ve
years later. In his brief lifetime he composed some of the most original Polish
writing of the twentieth century. Killing Auntie is his only novel. His brilliant ca-
reer and tragic early death established him as a cult gure among restless and
disenchanted youth.

A graphic novel that rewards the attention it demands,
this philosophical treatise asks: what is it that makes a life?
What if we are merely shadows, our characters dened by a simple inection
of light? The realm of possibilities opens up, because in our world we are
nothing but spectators.
The Spectators unfolds as a poetic and philosophical introspection on the na-
ture of man. Victor Hussenots palette is awash with subtle color, gently carry-
ing the narrative and allowing readers to envelop themselves in the lyricism of
the work. Reminiscent of French New Wave cinema with its clipped dialogue,
gentle pacing, and departure from a classic narrative structure, The Spectators is
an exciting new graphic novel by a unique illustrator.
Victor Hussenot is a French artist who has already seen major success in his
career and is continuing to go from strength to strength. While studying
visual arts at Beaux- Arts de Nancy, France, he was shortlisted for Angoulmes
Young Talent Prize. From this he went on to meet Warum, his rst publisher,
and has since published several other books in French. Hussenot has exhibited
his work all over France. He lives in Paris.

The emotions unleashed in this tale . . . are painfully universal. Yet you
know exactly where in the universe you are. This is the hallmark of great
short stories, from Chekhovs portraits of discontented Russians to Joyces
struggling Dubliners. Radhika Jones, Time
Naja Marie Aidts long- awaited rst novel is a breathtaking page- turner and
complex portrait of a man whose life slowly devolves into one of violence and
jealousy.
Rock, Paper, Scissors opens shortly after the death of Thomas and Jennys crimi-
nal father. While trying to x a toaster that he left behind, Thomas discovers
a secret wad of cash, setting into motion a series of events leading to the dis-
solution of his life, and plunging him into a dark, shadowy underworld of
violence and betrayal.
A gripping story written with a poets sensibility and attention to language,
Rock, Paper, Scissors showcases all of Aidts gifts and will greatly expand the read-
ership for one of Denmarks most decorated and beloved writers.
Naja Marie Aidt was born in Greenland and raised in Copenhagen. She is the
author of seven collections of poetry and ve short story collections, includ-
ing Baboon (Two Lines Press), which received the Nordic Councils Literature

Georgi Gospodinov wants to blow your mind or maybe just provide the
ultimate bathroom reader. . . . The formal playfulness suggests Kundera with
A.D.D. and potty jokes. Ed Park, The Village Voice
A nalist for both the Strega Europeo and Gregor von Rezzori awards (and
winner of every Bulgarian honor possible), The Physics of Sorrow rearms Georgi
Gospodinovs place as one of Europes most inventive and daring writers.
Using the myth of the Minotaur as its organizing image, the narrator of
Gospodinovs long- awaited novel constructs a labyrinth of stories about his
family, jumping from era to era and viewpoint to viewpoint, exploring the
mindset and trappings of Eastern Europeans. Incredibly moving such as with
the story of his grandfather accidentally being left behind at a mill and ex-
traordinarily funny see the section on the awfulness of the question how are
you? Physics is a book that you can inhabit, tracing connections, following
the narrator down various side passages, getting pleasantly lost in the vari-
ous stories and empathizing with the sorrowful, misunderstood Minotaur at
the center of it all.
The Physics of Sorrow will appeal to fans of Dave Eggers, Tom McCarthy, and
Dubravka Ugresic for its unique structure, humanitarian concerns, and stun-
ning storytelling.
Georgi Gospodinovs Natural Novel was published by Dalkey Archive Press in
2005 and was praised by the New Yorker, New York Times, and several other pres-
tigious review outlets.
Angela Rodel won a PEN Translation Fund Grant in 2010 for Georgi Tenevs
short story collection. She is one of the most prolic translators of Bulgarian
literature working today and received an NEA Fellowship for her translation
of Gospodinovs The Physics of Sorrow.

The interconnected works of Volodine think Faulkner, but after an
apocalypse constitute the most exciting project in contemporary French
literature. Maria Clementi
That is what we had called post- exoticism. It was a construction connected to revolutionary sha-
manism and literature. . . . It was an interior construction, a withdrawal, a secret welcoming land,
but also something oensive that participated in the plot of certain unarmed individuals against the
capitalist world and its countless ignominies. This ght was now conned solely to Bassmanns lips.
Like with Antoine Volodines other works (Minor Angels, We Monks & Soldiers), Post-
Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven takes place in a corrupted future where a small
group of radical writers those who practice post- exoticism have been
jailed by those in power and are slowly dying o. But before Lutz Bassmann,
the last post- exoticist writer, passes away, a couple journalists will try and pry
out all the secrets of this powerful literary movement.
With its explanations of several key post- exoticist terms that appear in
Volodines other books, Lesson Eleven provides a crucial entryway into one of the
most ambitious literary projects of recent times: a project exploring the revo-
lutionary power of literature.
Antoine Volodine is the author of dozens of books under a few dierent
pseudonyms, including Lutz Bassmann and Manuela Draeger. These novels
several of which are available in English articulate a post- exoticist universe
lled with secrets, revolutionary writers, and spiders.

The most important Argentinian writer since Borges. The Independent
The One Before is a triptych of sorts, consisting of a series of short pieces called
Arguments and two longer stories Half- Erased and The One Before
all of which revolve around the ideas of exile and memory.
Many of the characters who populate Juan Jos Saers other novels appear
here, including Tomatis, ngel Leto, and Washington Noriega (who appear in
La Grande, Scars, and The Sixty- Five Years of Washington, all of which are available from
Open Letter). Saers typical themes are on display in this collection as well, as
is his idiosyncratic blend of philosophical ruminations and precise storytelling.
From the story of the two characters who decide to bury a message in a
bottle that simply says MESSAGE, to Pigeon Garays attempt to avoid the
rising tides and escape Argentina for Europe, The One Before evocatively intro-
duces readers to Saers world and gives the already indoctrinated new material
about their favorite characters.
Juan Jos Saer was the leading Argentinian writer of the post- Borges genera-
tion. 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.
Roanne Kantor is a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University
of Texas at Austin. Her translation of The One Before won the 2009 Susan Sontag
Prize for Translation. Her translations from Spanish have appeared in Little

Mariani has emerged as one of the few signicant post- Montalian poets in
Italy, and Molino is a graceful, experienced, thoroughly reliable translator.
The result is an elegant book, an important book, bringing a distinctive voice
into English. Rosanna Warren
Culled from his entire career, the poems in Traces of Time cover numerous
themes, most prominently the poets relationship to history and how poetry
can exist outside of it. Tiananmen, 20 Years Later, Protocols of War, and
Checkmate (about 9/11) all illustrate Lucio Marianis concerns through
images both dense and porous, lines both cadenced and spasmodic, and con-
rm his place in contemporary poetry.
Protocols of War
(Baghdad is not far)
Of this time youll gather no memories
for your eternal hunger.
Cant you see the slags in the weave
that enfolds the esh of the living?
Cant you see that the boxes and drawers
where the silver of bygone days abounds
have no room for trinkets or seashells
of a present founded on plaster markets,
lost facing a mirror
seeking itself in the halls of the world?
Dont you see that for the rst time
every man erects ruins for his heirs
enacting inane protocols of war
while the future slams its shutters tight
so as to celebrate on statistical altars
the glory of mindless marionettes
maneuvered by nothingness,
sprung in the bitter elds of oblivion?
Of this time youll gather no memories.
Lucio Mariani is the author of eight volumes of poetry, including Echoes of
Memory (available in English from UPNE), as well as a volume of essays, a col-
lection of short stories, and translations of works by Csar Vallejo, Tristan
Corbire, and Yves Bonnefoy.
Anthony Molino is a translator from the Italian, an anthropologist, and a
psychoanalyst. In addition to Lucio Marianis two volumes, he has also trans-
lated works by Valerio Magrelli and Antonio Porta, among others.

Postcart
Rome, Italy
Postcart Editions was founded in Rome in 1994 from an idea of the photographer Claudio Corrivetti,
with the intention of combining his interests in photography, books, and graphic design in a single
work, precisely that of a publisher.
The project involved the creation of individual photographic works with covers, graphics, and
original formats to convey as best possible the meaning of the photographers work. This starting
mark is one that still characterizes the catalog of our publishing house.
Books of photography are among the most delicate of the publishing market, not easily transmitting
their message, unlike literature, poetry, and ction, as visual reading is not often supported by
adequate culture, considering that the language of photography is still very young. Despite this
perceptive diculty, our commitment is to bring photography to a diverse audience. Famous authors
like Leonard Freed, Franco Fontana, Guido Guidi, Gilbert Garcin, and Tano DAmico, along with a
younger generation, like Davide Monteleone, George Georgiou, Carlo Gianferro, Emiliano Mancuso,
Valentina Vannicola, and Monika Bulaj, have contributed their expressive power to create an important
catalog that manages to convey the power of the photographic message. The relationship established
with the individual authors allowed us to invent original works with a personal trait.
For the last three years, along with the new series of essays, Postwords, we have welcomed literature
that our audience has found to be an interesting combination of photography and text. After years of
commitment to the European market we are happy to oer our titles to the wider (and photographically
more prepared) audience of the United States, condent that the synergy with a dierent culture will
encourage us to improve and expand our vision.

1987: The photographer Luciano Viti succeeds in what remains one of the
most signicant events in the history of music photography, that of realizing
photo- sessions with Miles Davis and Chet Baker, two legends of jazz.
During the usual ten minutes at his disposal, Viti made a series of stun-
ning and intense portraits that will go down in history. For the rst time, after
more than twenty- ve years of his photographic career, Vitis photographs
have been published in this book, accompanied by a poetic text by Paolo Fresu,
a renowned jazz trumpeter. A unique testimony of rare beauty, celebrating
two great and unforgettable musicians who have marked jazz history.
Luciano Viti is a professional photographer who mainly works in the music
world. He has worked for Grazia Neri photo agency and many record compa-
nies such as Sony, Polygram, and Virgin, among others, as well as for adver-
tising campaigns, press campaigns, and record/CD covers.
Paolo Fresu graduated in trumpet studies at the conservatory of Cagliari in
1982 and in the same year won numerous awards such as best Italian jazz
talent. In 1996 he was elected best European musician, won the Django dor,
and was nominated best international musician. He teaches both in Italy and
abroad and has recorded over 350 records.

Spiting the overworn iconography of stereotyped landscapes, Guido Guidis
photographic research is rooted in an interest in exploring the landscape
that he likes to dene in the words of Cesare Zavattini as random and
common place. Its a type of landscape that recombines a variety of elements.
Sometimes it is the outcome of casual encounters, sometimes it is the result
of careful investigations and repeated verications. Guidis preference for
marginal landscapes is, therefore, an opportunity to reect on the nature
of photography. It is the job of a great photographer to help us gain greater
awareness of the world around us.
Guido Guidi was born in Cesena in 1941. He is an Italian photographer
who, at the end of 1960s, started his works about the objectivity of photog-
raphy. Inuenced by the neo-realist cinema and by conceptual art, he started
to research contemporary landscapes altered by man, like rural landscapes or
suburbs. By using large format images, he creates an intense sequence re-
ecting on the meaning of landscape and photography.

Franco Fontana is undoubtedly one of the most renowned Italian photogra-

the 1970s he was able to fully exploit the inner potentialities of color pho-
tography through photographs which might be situated beetween represen-
tation and abstraction. His daring sense of color and his skillfulness with
composition gave him the opportunity to create unforgettable images that are
universally praised.
Franco Fontana was born in Modena, where he lives and works, in 1933.
His works are displayed in many private and public collections all over the
world, including the MoMA, New York; Metropolitan Museum, Tokyo;
Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow; Palazzo Reale, Milan; and Maison
Europenne de la Photographie, Paris. His photographs have been published
in more than sixty books in various editions and languages.

This book also supports and values a similar path: that of women in Nablus,
who under the direction of Fatima Khaddoumi, Italian Cristina Bottigella,
and Beatrice Catanzaro, gave birth to Bait al Karama Cookery School, the
rst international cooking school and Palestinian Slow Food Convivium in
Palestine, with the aim of creating jobs for women who live in the Old City of
Nablus. Cake wishes to support these resourceful and creative women with the
hope that this voyage through cooking and the arts can help overcome barri-

This book sets out to describe Russias heart and soul (Dusha). Between 2002
and 2007, Davide Monteleone traveled across many ex- Soviet republics, cap-
turing the melancholy, joy, and solitude of Russian people. That famous
spirit, imperceptible and indenable, is revealed iconographically and poeti-
cally in this series of photographs that are distant yet intimate.
Davide Monteleone (b. 1974) started his photographic career in 2000, when
he became an editorial photographer at Contrasto. The next year he moved
to Moscow as a correspondent. This decision determined his ensuing career.
Since 2003, Monteleone has been living between Italy and Russia, pursuing
long- term personal projects. He published his rst book Dusha, Russian Soul in
2007, followed by La Linea Inesistente in 2009, and Red Thistle in 2012.

This practical and poetic survival manual is the rst English translation
of the French masterpiece of living wild in the world and creating a perma-
culture. Back to the Wild is your source for everything from cartography to hunt-
ing and dressing wild game to cooking without a kitchen.
Its author, the late Alain Saury, was a respected author, poet, actor, ac-
tivist, and artist who created the rst vegetarian organization in France. His
concerns about human survival in dangerous times inspired him to create this
remarkable guidebook.
Beautifully designed and organized, the material in this book illustrates
the importance in having an intimate relationship with nature, and it leads the
reader back to the wild, whether the journey is taken by choice or by necessity.

Through a series of nine wonderfully rich portraits, Polly Morland takes us
on a journey through the world of risk, looking not at the extremes or excep-
tions, but at the routine risks we accept and embrace as part of our everyday
lives, often unconsciously. The stories in Risk Wise address fundamental ques-
tions about risk and our perceptions about risk- taking. It argues that being
risk wise the ability to understand and accept risk as a force for good is an
essential part of the human experience and a route to living a full and reward-
ing life.

The essence and success of The Tao of Coaching has always been its focus on the
practical tips and techniques for making work more rewarding through the
habit of coaching and this philosophy continues to underpin this brand-new
reissue with new chapters on the power of eective questions and better goal-
setting. To become an eective coach, managers and leaders need master only
a few techniques, even though mastery obviously requires practice. It demon-
strates that coaching is not simply a matter of helping others and improving
performance, but is also a powerful force for self- development and personal
fullment.

Thor Bjorgolfsson became Icelands rst billionaire. On his fortieth birth-
day, and worth $3.5 billion, he was sitting on top of the world. His biggest
triumph was the takeover of Icelands second- largest bank, Landsbanki, but
when nancial meltdown hit in 2008, Landsbanki crashed and burned, tak-
ing Bjorgolfsson with it. Within twelve months he had lost 3.3 billion euros
and was treated as a scapegoat for supposedly bringing about the disaster.
Faced with appalling debts, Bjorgolfsson has since made good on his prom-
ises to repay his creditors, and at the age of forty- seven is now a billionaire
once again.

Literary essays explore psyches of American cities, race,
and the shrinking space between safety and danger.
I have never been particularly interested in slavery, perhaps because it is such an obvious fact of my
familys history. The fact that I am descended from slaves is hard to acknowledge on a day- to- day
basis, because slavery does not t with my self- image. Perhaps this is because I am pretty certain
I would not have survived it.
In the manner of Italo Calvinos Invisible Cities, Wendy S. Walters deftly explores
the psyches of cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Manhattan, and Portsmouth. In
Cleveland, she interviews an African American playwright who draws great
reviews, but cant muster an audience. An on- air telephone chat between a
DJ and his listeners drives a discussion of race and nutrition in Chicago
Radio. In Manhattanville the author, out for a walk with her biracial son,
is mistaken for his nanny. Theres even a fable, imagining a black takeover of
Norway. All of these essays explore societal questions how eras of immense
growth can leave us unable to prosper from that growth, how places intended
for safety become fraught with danger, and how race and gender bias threaten
our communities. As John DAgata notes: What probing, lively, ridiculously
smart, gorgeously surprising essays.
Wendy S. Walters is the author of two books of poems, Troy, Michigan and Longer
I Wait, More You Love Me. Her work has appeared in Harpers, Bookforum, the Iowa
Review, and many other publications. She is an associate professor of creative
writing at The New School University in New York.

This book- length essay chronicles Jackson Pollock, Jack Kerouac,
and the origin of Americas highway system.
Like a great conversationalist, Hanick paints a generous canvas, and I rode
the length of this powerful book much like I rst experienced the American
interstate: songs on the stereo, windows down, and the bittersweet sense that
youth is eeting. Three Kinds of Motion holds open a wild and beautiful journey,
not to be missed. Thalia Field
In 1943, Peggy Guggenheim commissioned a mural from Jackson Pollock
to hang in the entryway of her Manhattan townhouse. It was the largest
Pollock canvas she would ever own, and four years later she gave it to a small
Midwestern institution with no place to put it. When the original scroll of
On the Road goes on tour across the country, it lands at the same Iowa mu-
seum housing Peggys Pollock, revitalizing Riley Hanicks adolescent fascina-
tion with the author. Alongside these two narrative threads, Hanick revisits
Dwight D. Eisenhowers quest to build Americas rst interstate highway sys-
tem. When catastrophic rains ood the Iowa highways with their famous
allure and history of conquest, they also threaten the museum and its precious
mural. In Three Kinds of Motion, his razor- sharp, funny, and intensely vulnerable
book- length essay, Hanick moves deftly between his three subjects. He deliv-
ers a story with breathtaking ingenuity.
Riley Hanick is an essayist, journalist, and translator. His work has received
support from the Jentel and McKnight foundations and he has served as a
writer- in- residence for the University of Iowa Museum of Art. He teaches at
Murray State University.

Gorodischers rhythmic and transparent prose reveals the violence under-
lying bourgeois respectability. Prodigies is both incisive and incantatory.
Soa Samatar, author of A Stranger in Olondria
Prodigies, which she considers to be her best novel . . . takes place in Germany
in the home of the poet Novalis after his death, and is a humorous and ironic
portrayal of the women who passed through that home. Women and Power in
Argentinean Literature
Prodigies explores the story of the poet Novaliss birthplace in the German town
of Weissenfels after it is converted into a boarding house. Moving, subtle,
and full of wit, irony, and dreams, this novel lls the house with the women
who lived there throughout the nineteenth century, and across the ow of
history constructs the secret drama of their destinies.

Taggert wants to look after his family so when his
adopted daughter disappears he only has one option: nd her.
Praise for The Liminal People:
A great piece of genre ction. But picking which genre to place it in isnt easy.
The rst in a planned series, its got the twists and taut pacing of a thriller,
the world-warping expansiveness of a fantasy yarn, and even the love-as-
redemption arc of a romance. Oh yeah, a lot of the characters in it have super-
human powers, too.The Rumpus
Ayizes imagination will mess with yours, and the world wont ever look quite
the same again.Nalo Hopkinson
An action-packed thriller and a careful look at the moral dilemmas of those
whose powers transcend humanity.Publishers Weekly
When Taggerts adopted daughter goes missing he suspects the hand of an
old enemy. He gathers friends, family, and even those who dont quite trust
that he has left his violent past behind. But their search leads them to an un-
expected place, the past, and the consequences of their journey have a price
that is higher than they can aord.
The enigmatic quagmire that is Ayize Jama-Everett has been making his pres-
ence felt all across this world since 1974. In New York, California, Morocco,
Ethiopia, and elsewhere, he has impressed, reviled, and astonished with his
amazing feats of mental alacrity and mystical inebriation. Despite being de-
greed in both divinity and psychology, the forlorn artist stakes his reputation
and honor on the calling of author. He is known to be cunning in the ways of
the bottle, the pen, and the pistol.

At thirty, Californian Leza Lowitz is single and traveling the world, which
suits her just ne. Coming of age in Berkeley, California, during the sexual
and feminist revolutions of the 1960s, she learned that marriage and family
could wait.
Or could they?
When Leza moves to Japan and meets the man of her dreams, her heart
opens in ways she never thought possible. But shes still an outsider, and home
is far away. Rather than struggle to t in, she opens a yoga studio and makes
a home for others. Then, at forty- four, Leza and her Japanese husband seek
to adopt in a country where bloodlines are paramount and family ties are
almost feudal in their cultural importance. She travels to India to work on
herself and back to California to deal with her past. Something is still not
complete until she learns that when you give a little love to a child, you get the
whole world in return.
This inspiring memoir reects the authors deep connection to yoga that
allows her to realize that infertile does not mean inconceivable. Through
teaching, meditation, and community, she transcends her struggles and em-
braces the joys of adoption and motherhood.
Leza Lowitz lives in Tokyo with her husband, the writer Shogo Oketani, and
their ten- year- old son. She has edited and published over seventeen books,
many on Japan, and has run her own yoga studio in Tokyo for a decade. She
travels throughout Japan and Asia to teach yoga and write. Her debut YA
novel, Jet Black and the Ninja Wind, won the 20132014 Asian/Pacic American
Award in Young Adult Literature.

Combining memoir and journalism, Tina Horn takes us
on a creative nonction romp through
interpersonal lives of sexual transformation.
Love Not Given Lightly is the rst collection of nonction stories from award-
winning lmmaker, journalist, and advocate Tina Horn. In her vast experi-
ence in sexual undergrounds, Tina has befriended pro- dommes, porn stars,
kinky fetishists, rent boys, and more. Instead of writing a sex worker memoir,
she opted to tell the stories of the people she met along the way. Illuminating
human issues of desire, gender, beauty, and ultimately friendship, the stories
in this book will do no less than alter the way you think about modern sexu-
ality in America.
Tina Horn is a writer, educator, and interdisciplinary media- maker. She co-
created, produced, and directed QueerPorn.Tv, which has won two Feminist
Porn Awards and was nominated for an AVN. Her writing has appeared in
several Cleis Press anthologies, including Best Sex Writing 2015. She has blogged
for Vice, Nerve, and Fleshbot and published articles in the Believer, AORTA, Up and
Coming, and Whore! magazines. She holds an MFA in creative nonction writ-
ing from Sarah Lawrence College. Originally from Northern California, Tina
now lives in Manhattan.

their body hair. These empowered women pose in gorgeous outdoor California
settings, baring for the vision of photographer Nikki Silver. Herself a hairy
woman, Silver captures the free spirits and all- natural condence of these
amateur models. Her photographs are erotic and feminist, revealing and de-
ant, and entirely unlike any nude portraits of women you have ever seen.
An original essay from journalist and sexuality educator Tina Horn accen-
tuates these provocative images. With humor, personal anecdotes, and elegant
analysis, Horns writing explores the many political and social implications of
unshaven women. This insight is supplemented by thoughtful words on femi-
nine body hair from the models themselves.
Whether they are defying gender norms, rejecting consumer conformity,
or developing a new kind of counterculture body modication, the women
of Unshaven may be the twenty- rst centurys postmodern heroines.
Nikki Silver is a self- taught hairy pornography producer and model. Living
a life of radical naturalism and free expression in both sexuality and art,
she produces media that gives a voyeurs view into her world. A resident of
Oakland, she is a feisty New York Jew who now refuses to leave the redwoods
of California.

In Canada: A New Tax Haven, Alain Deneault traces Canadas relationship with
Britains Caribbean colonies back through the last decades of the twentieth
century, arguing that the involvement of Canadian nanciers in establishing
and maintaining Caribbean tax havens has predisposed Canada to become a
tax haven itself a metamorphosis well under way.
Canada was linked with Caribbean Commonwealth nations long before
they became tax havens. In the 1950s, an ex- governor of Canadas central
bank attempted to establish a low-taxation regime in Jamaica. In the 1960s, a
minister of nance helped transform the Bahamas into a tax haven. Further,
Canada currently shares its seat at the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund with a group of Caribbean tax havens. And Canada, which
has signed a free- trade agreement with Panama, is currently seeking a wider
agreement with countries of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
These exercises in fostering scal and banking leniency have predisposed
Canada to become one of the most attractive tax havens. US multinationals
and other foreign companies now relocate to Canada as if it were Luxembourg
or Belize. Deneault examines the implications of this development.
Alain Deneaults research and writing focus on ways in which international
agreements increasingly foster the interests of stateless transnational corpora-
tions over those of nation states and the interests of their human communities.

Everyone here is trying to make sense of the present
by sharing their vision of past events, good or bad.
Young Dorothea is appointed by the tourist bureau to direct a documen-
tary lm re- enacting life at a lighthouse o Quebecs North Shore in the
1940s and 50s. To obtain material for the lm, she is advised to inter-
view an old woman, Rose Brouillard, the daughter of a sherman who grew
up on a nearby island in the St. Lawrence. Rose is nally tracked down in
Montreal. She is now old: her memory and grasp of reality are hazy; never-
theless she tells her story and takes Dorothea back to scenes from her child-
hood. We see shermen on the docks with their nets, hard- at- work villagers
with shirtsleeves rolled up to the elbow, leafy gardens and tree- lined streets,
all re created from Roses failing memory. The problem is that many of these
scenes are invented, not real. Does that matter? Or are the stories we tell
more important?
The writing in Finding Rose is poetic in the rhythm of the prose and in its
ne, evocative descriptions of the St. Lawrence landscape, as well as of the
characters and their intimate experience. The variety of narrative voices, to-
gether with their multiple perspectives, adds greatly to the interest of the story.
The author of two novels and two poetry collections, Jean- Franois Caron
writes full time in the Lanaudire forest near Sainte- Batrix on Quebecs
North Shore.
Don Wilsons translation of Jacques Chessexs novel A Jew Must Die was long-
listed for the 2011 Best Translated Book Award in the United States.

the ght against enclosure resurfaces today amidst continuing accumulation
and a renascent sense of the commons under globalization. This revised sec-

Praise for Helen Garners The Spare Room:
Helen Garner is a great writer. Peter Carey
Swift, beautiful, and relentless. Alice Sebold
The Joan Didion of Australia. Los Angeles Times
Truthful, fearless, passionate. Kate Grenville
On the evening of September 4, 2005, Robert Farquharson, a separated hus-
band, was driving his three sons home to their mother when his car plunged
into a dam. The boys, aged ten, seven, and two, drowned. Was this an act of
deliberate revenge or a tragic accident? The court case became Helen Garners
obsession. She was in the courtroom every day of Farquharsons trial and sub-
sequent retrial, along with countless journalists and the families of both the
accused and his former wife.
In this utterly compelling book, Garner tells the story of a man and his bro-
ken life. At its core is a search for truth that takes author and reader through
complex psychological terrain. Garner exposes, with great compassion, that
truth and justice are as complex as human frailty and morality.
Part of a nonction tradition that began with Truman Capotes In Cold Blood
and continues in the works of Janet Malcolm and Erroll Morris.
Helen Garner, born in 1942, is the author of numerous books of ction and
nonction. Her most recent novel The Spare Room was published to critical ac-
claim in 2010.

An unforgettable meditation on love and loss, memory
and its deceptions, and the ties that bind us to others.
Praise for Mark Henshaws Out of the Line of Fire:
Experimental, extraordinary. . . . One of my favorite Australian novels.
Australian
Paris, 1989. Recently retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter
from a woman who claims to be his daughter. Two days later, a stranger knocks
on his door. His name is Tadashi Omura, and he is a former law professor. He
tells Jovert stories about his life, and about a man named Katsuo Ikeda, whom
he met when they were both children and who later became a successful writer.
Set in France, Japan, and Algeria, The Snow Kimono is a jigsaw puzzle of a
novel. The stories that Jovert and Omura tell each other t together in un-
predictable ways. Each new story changes the possibilities of what might hap-
pen next. Little by little we glimpse how these men have lied to themselves and
to each other. These lies are about to catch up with them.
A quarter of a century after the best- selling, multi- award- winning Out of
the Line of Fire, Mark Henshaw returns with a novel that is both a psychological
thriller and an unforgettable meditation on love and loss.
Mark Henshaw has lived in France, Germany, Yugoslavia, and the United
States. He currently lives in Canberra. His debut, Out of the Line of Fire (1988)
was one of the biggest selling Australian literary novels of its decade and was
published in France, Germany, and Italy.

Oers the chance to banquet on rich and delectable passions and ideas,
washed down with lashings of wit. . . . Its big argumentative poetry screams out
that history matters. The Nation
A brainy, brawny, thematically expansive work, stued with challenging
socio political ideas and dialectical reworks. . . . Kushners social engagement
and his intellectualism are balanced, as always, by his penetrating humanism.
Hollywood Reporter
Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman, summons his adult children
home to the familys Brooklyn brownstone to discuss his recent decision to
commit suicide. With his trademark mix of soaring intellect, searing emo-
tion, and biting wit, legendary playwright Tony Kushner unfurls an epic tale
of revolution, radicalism, family, love, sex, politics, real estate, unions, and
debts both unpaid and unpayable. With sweeping themes as hefty as its title,
IHo (as it has been nicknamed) explores the dense and vexing issues that
stem from the betrayal of a failed ideology and the challenges of family con-
nectedness. This cerebral mammoth of a play asks what is left when the long-
held belief systems that construct and inform ones identity prove to be empty.
Tony Kushner is the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, two Tony Awards, three
Obie Awards, two Evening Standard Awards, an Olivier Award, an Emmy
Award, two Oscar nominations, and the Steinberg Distinguished Playwright
Award, among other honors. In 2012, he was awarded a National Medal of

ern society and the dicult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives. Into
the Woods premiered on Broadway in 1987, winning three Tony Awards. It has
been a beloved favorite on stages throughout the United States and around the
world for almost thirty years.

Three astonishing breakout plays from one of the
theaters most exciting and provocative young writers.
The deftly crafted blend of shocking exaggeration and believability, polite-
ness and fury . . . makes Appropriate land with the kind of thump you rarely en-
counter in the theater.Chicago Tribune
So energetic, funny, and entertainingly demented, you cant look away.
New York on An Octoroon
Messy, bold, desperately funny, and deeply felt: Neighbors is worth getting to
know.Los Angeles Times
With deft attention to familial dynamics and a tense undercurrent of socio-
political realities, Appropriate harkens the likes of Tracy Letts or Sam Shepard,
but with Branden Jacobs-Jenkinss unique air for melodrama and touch of
the absurd.
Themes of history and racial politics permeate much of this young play-
wrights astounding work. This collection also includes the acclaimed play An
Octoroon, a bombastic theatrical investigation of theater and identity, wherein
an old play gives way to a startlingly contemporary piece. The third play,
Neighbors, uses old minstrelsy tropes to challenge what makes contemporary so-
ciety comfortable, and asserts pointedly that it shouldnt be.
Branden Jacobs- Jenkinss plays include An Octoroon, Neighbors, Appropriate, Gloria,
and War. He is a playwright- in- residence at Signature Theatre. Recent hon-
ors include a 2014 Obie Award for Best New American Play (An Octoroon and
Appropriate).

Mr. Suzukis art seeks to reach audiences not through the intellect but through

ough and accessible formulation of his ideas and beliefs in this new edition of

What theater should be. Theater meeting life in a head- on collision. Theater
grabbing us by the shirt and smacking us into walls. . . . Don Juan Comes Home from
Iraq may become the denitive portrayal of Americas twenty- rst- century war
experience. Philadelphia City Paper
Don Juan Comes Home from Iraq is a powerful anti- war play. It is also powerfully
theatrical and emotionally and intellectually challenging. In other words, its
terric. Philadelphia Inquirer
A Marine returns home from war and discovers that his lover is missing.
Searching for her, he embarks on a surrealistic tour through the streets and
history of Philadelphia. By corrupting linear time and blending scenes be-
tween settings, Don Juan Comes Home from Iraq not only challenges perceptions
of reality, but also perceptions of individual morality and of war itself. Paula
Vogel based her searing new drama on Odon von Horvaths 1936 play Don Juan
Comes Back from the War, and developed it through extensive collaboration with
the director and actors of the original production, as well as years of conver-
sation and writing workshops with recent military veterans.
Paula Vogels play, How I Learned to Drive, received the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama, the Lortel Prize, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and New York
Drama Critics Awards for Best Play, as well as winning her second Obie.
Other plays include The Baltimore Waltz, Desdemona, And Baby Makes Seven, and A Civil
War Christmas. She has also had a distinguished career as a teacher and mentor
to younger playwrights, rst at Brown University and most recently at the Yale
School of Drama.

A funny and poignant comedy about a family of actors,
from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Margulies.
Margulies is literate and intellectually stimulating. His ideas and language
hold our attention and earn our respect. New York
Donald Margulies has an unerring sense of language and the ability to pene-
trate deeply into the darkness of tangled human emotions. Variety
Gathering in their Berkshire home, a family of actors wrestles with fame, art,
and (as always) each other. Brought back together for a melancholy purpose,
the solemnity is quickly undercut by restless egos and inamed temperaments.
When the events of the weekend go o- script, secrets are spilled and bonds are
broken. Inspired by and often directly referencingAnton Chekhovs pasto-
ral come dies, this witty and compelling new comedy unfolds in a fragile old
home brimming with memories, new love, and discarded dreams.
Donald Margulies has won a Lucille Lortel Award, an American Theatre
Critics Award, two Los Angeles Drama Critics Awards, two Obie Awards, two
Dramatists Guild Hull- Warriner Awards, one Tony Award nomination, six
Drama Desk Award nominations, two Pulitzer Prize nominations, and one
Pulitzer Prize. His works have been performed on and o Broadway, and at
major theaters across the United States, as well as a host of international cities.

An outrageously funny new play that explores
language, sexuality, and identity.
Searing and sensationally funny. . . . As raw in its language and raucous in
spirit as it is smart and provacative.The New York Times
Funny, smutty and enticingly subversive. . . . A toxically satiric portrait of
American life.The Washington Post
When I told my mother that a theater was putting on my play Bootycandy, her
response was, What?! Bootycandy? These white folks are going to let you put on
a play called Bootycandy?!? Are they crazy??? And my response was, Yes. Yes
indeed. Robert OHara
Sutter is on an outrageous odyssey through his childhood home, his church,
dive bars, motel rooms, and even nursing homes. The journey uncovers char-
acters who are at once fascinating, zany, controversial, and even a bit smutty,
painting a portrait of life as a societal outlier. Based on the authors personal
experience, Bootycandy is a kaleidoscope of sketches that interconnects to por-
tray growing up gay and black. This subversive, uproarious satire crashes head-
long into the murky terrain of pain and pleasure and . . . BOOTYCANDY!
Robert OHara is a playwright and director. His play Antebellum received a world
premiere production from Woolly Mammoth Theater Company, and earned
him a Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play. He reworked The Wiz for
its revival at La Jolla Playhouse. He wrote and directed the world premiere of
Insurrection: Holding History (Public Theater, Oppenheimer Award for Best New
American Play). As a director, he has won an Obie Award and an NAACP Best

Anarchic and deliciously clever. The Hungton Post
If the American family drama were a trout (stay with me), playwright Will
Eno would gut it, shellac it, mount it on a plaque, and make it wiggle and
croon Take Me to the River. What I mean is that his work combines studied
banality, sneaky weirdness, and formal ingenuity. Time Out New York
People have been born into families since people started getting born at all.
Playwrights have been trying to write family plays for a long time, too. And
typically these plays try to answer endlessly complicated questions of blood
and duty and inheritance and responsibility. They try to answer the ques-
tion, Can things really change? People have been trying nobly for years and
years to have plays solve in two hours what hasnt been solved in many life-
times. This has to stop. The Open House is an hour and twenty minutes, with
no intermission.
Acclaimed playwright Will Eno brings his signature irreverence to this
subversive sendup of the archetypal family drama. The Open House won the
2014 Obie Award for Playwriting and the 2014 Lucille Lortel Award for
Outstanding Play.
Will Enos most recent plays include The Open House (Signature Theatre, New
York, 2014; Obie Award, Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play), Gnit (Humana
Festival of New American Plays, 2013) and The Realistic Joneses (Yale Repertory
Theatre, New Haven, 2012; Broadway, 2014). His play Middletown received the
Horton Foote Prize, and Thom Pain (based on nothing) was a nalist for the 2005
Pulitzer Prize. Eno lives in Brooklyn, New York.

A humorous and haunting new play
about the iconic French queen.
Impeccable timeliness. . . . One cannot deny how it speaks to todays class war
between the haves and have-nots. . . . Marie Antoinette is bracing, fresh theater.
New Haven Register
The eyes of the court are on Marie Antoinette, and nothing good can come of
it. Times change, and even the most fashionable queens go out of style. 1700s
Versailles receives a topical send-up, mixing the decadent materialism of the
present with the gluttonous excess of Antoinettes era. Bold, biting, and hi-
larious, Marie Antoinette holds as mirror up to our contemporary society, which
might just be entertaining itself to death.

On a moonless night in August a man brings his new girlfriend to the remote
family cabin where he has come for y- shing since he was a boy. But shes not
the only woman he has brought here, or indeed the last. A darkly absorbing
play, the plot quickly thickens with tension and unease, echoing the works of
Harold Pinter. The River made its US premiere in October 2014 in a Broadway

Susan Imhoff Birds intriguing exploration of wolves and
the people who care about them reveals profound truths
about herself and about our world.
With humor, sensitivity, and probing intelligence, Birds inquiry into the
world of the wolf weaves an outer journey with inner way-nding, resulting
in an inspiring book about being more than humanits about being alive.
Mary Ellen Hannibal, author of The Spine of the Continent: The Race to Save Americas
Last, Best Wilderness
Commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the reintroduction of wolves
to the American West, Howl follows Susan Imho Birds exploration into the
passions and controversies surrounding natures most fascinating predator.
At a crossroads in her own life, Bird travels around the West, talking with
wolf watchers, landowners, wildlife managers, conservationists, and hunt-
ers about their understandings of what matters most, which almost always is
their connection with the natural world. However, the often-conicting is-
sues raised by hunters, ranchers, and politicians prompt Birds personal ex-
amination of wolf science, myths, and ethics, culminating in her conviction
that wolves must be allowed to recover and thrive on our lands. Along the
way, Bird begins to unleash her own wild nature, learning to howl and invit-
ing us to do the same.
Susan Imho Bird nds inspiration in Utahs canyons, valleys, and water-
sculpted rock. She can often be found on her bicycle or snowshoes, absorbing
the wisdom of the natural world. Bird lives in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Funny, brutal and haunting, Haints Stay takes the traditional Western, turns it
inside out, eviscerates it, skins it, and then wears it as a duster. This is the kind
of book that would make Zane Gray not only roll over in his grave but rise un-
dead from the ground with both barrels blazing. Brian Evenson
Winnettes spinning narratives will leave you white- knuckled, gasping, laugh-
ing uncomfortably and voraciously, and feeling a good bit more alive than when
you started. Alissa Nutting
Brooke and Sugar are killers. Bird is the boy who mysteriously woke beside
them while between towns. For miles, there is only desert and wilderness, and
along the fringes, people.
The story follows the middling bounty hunters after theyve been chased
from town, and Bird, each in pursuit of their own sense of belonging and jus-
tice. It features gunghts, cannibalism, barroom piano, a transgender birth,
a wagon train, a stampede, and the tenuous rise of the Wests rst one- armed
gunslinger.
Haints Stay is a new acid Western in the tradition of Rudolph Wurlitzer, Kelly
Reichardts Meeks Cuto, and Jim Jarmuschs Dead Man: meaning it is brutal,
surreal, and possesses an unsettling humor.
Colin Winnette is the author of Revelation, Animal Collection, and Fondly which
was listed among Salons Best Books of 2013. He is an associate editor of PANK
Magazine, and conducts a regular interview series for the Believers Logger. His
writing has appeared on BuzzFeed, Electric Literature, and in the Believer.

Scott McClanahan is the only real successor we have
to Breece DJ Pancake. Old- fashioned storytelling
from modern Appalachia.
McClanahans prose is miasmic, dizzying, repetitive. A rushing river of
words that reects the chaos and humanity of the place from which he hails.
[McClanahan] aims to lasso the moon. . . . He is not a writer of half- measures.
The man has purpose. This is his symphony, every note designed to resonate,
to linger. The New York Times Book Review
And so there was the falling and the falling and then the gasping for air this love which is only a
reminder of death a spell cast to kill one another. Or perhaps it was from long ago in a play that
wasnt a play anymore but an actual garden. And there was a man and there was a woman who
were growing old together. And this was their only wish: Let us be young again. I thought about the
play and the words of that world.These were not the last lines of a play but words from long ago that
someone spoke to a someone words that sounded like this. I was saying this now.For wherever she
was there was my Eden.
The Sarah Book is Scott McClanahans continuation of the semi- autobiographical
portrait hes been writing over the years about his life in West Virginia. This
one is the portrait of his love there.
Scott McClanahan is the author of Hill William, Crapalachia, and many more. He
lives in West Virginia.

The complete collection of Jason Little's horrifying,
hilarious, and controversial comic strip about Borb:
an unfortunate and alcoholic vagabond.
Borb by Jason Little (Shutterbug Follies, Motel Art Improvement Service) is the story of
a severely alcoholic homeless man, a downtrodden urban Candide whose mis-
fortunes pile up at an alarming rate. The narrative is presented as a series of
daily newspaper strips as the author pays homage to the depression-era imag-
ery of Harold Gray (Little Orphan Annie) and Frank King (Gasoline Alley) and the
long and complex tradition of the comic strip slapstick vagabond archetype.
At once hilarious, horrifying, and full of heart, Borb depicts the real horrors
specic to present- day urban homelessness. Borb is Little's most complex and
challenging work.
Jason Little is the author of the Bee books: Shutterbug Follies (winner of two
Ignatz awards) and Motel Art Improvement Service. His Jacks Luck Runs Out comic book
was the rst Xeric winner to be printed in full color. He also teaches in the
cartooning program at the School of Visual Arts. Jason lives in Brooklyn with
writer Myla Goldberg and their two daughters.

Rohrers frequently beautiful, brief poems are rooted in specic images that
initially seem unrelated but which ultimately form a unity as meditations on
how the ordinary distractions of everyday life can be seen as the source for al-
most everything important in life. Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
The poems in Matthew Rohrers seventh poetry collection are generated
by, and embrace, friendships with the living, the dead, and the inanimate.
Friends, family, and the urban peoplescape are gathered together in these
poems, with more and more poetic voices joining in, and ending with poems
written in collaboration with Kobayashi Issa, Yosa Buson, Matsuo Basho
,
and Haz.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LONELIER
There is absolutely nothing lonelier
than the little Mars rover
never shutting down, digging up
rocks, so far away from Bond Street
in a light rain. I wonder
if he makes little beeps? If so
he is lonelier still. He res a laser
into the dust. He coughs. A shiny
thing in the sand turns out to be his.
Matthew Rohrer has received the Hopwood Award for poetry, a Pushcart
Prize, was selected as a National Poetry Series winner by Mary Oliver, and was
shortlisted for the Grin International Poetry Prize. He is the co- author,
with Joshua Beckman, of Nice Hat. Thanks., and the audio CD Adventures While
Preaching the Gospel of Beauty. He has appeared on NPRs All Things Considered and
The Next Big Thing. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and teaches at NYU.

Robert Bly changed the course of poetry in America by opening it up to the
imagination and the deep- image aesthetic, he is dedicated to reintegrating
poetry with life daily life, the life of the body, spiritual and political life.
The Hungton Post
The Chinese- inuenced strain of Robert Blys work with its room for move-
ment, spontaneity, and openness is celebrated in Like the New Moon I Will Live
My Life and most amply showcased in its over 150 poems. The poems, col-
lected from out- of- print books, chapbooks, and uncollected work spanning
fty years, form a companion to his recent Stealing Sugar From The Castle: New and
Selected Poems.
Like The New Moon I Will Live My Life
When your privacy is beginning over,
How beautiful the things are that you did not notice before!
A few sweetclover plants
Along the road to Bellingham,
Culvert ends poking out of driveways,
Wooden corncribs, slowly falling,
What no one loves, no one rushes towards or shouts about,
What lives like the new moon,
And the wind
Blowing against the rumps of grazing cows.
Telephone wires stretched across water,
A drowning sailor standing at the foot of his mothers bed,
Grandfathers and grandsons sitting together.
Robert Bly is one of the most inuencial poets, translators, and editors of
his generation.

How to live in greater harmony through Buddhist ethics.
Mind in Harmony will interest anyone who is curious to know what Buddhism
has to say about the mind and how to live an ethical life. Subhuti describes
the mind from the Buddhist point of view, and shows how such knowledge
can help us live a more satisfactory life. This is also a handbook for those who
are seriously interested in the long- established Buddhist system of mind
training, and oers some of the tools needed to construct a system of mind
training for oneself.
Subhuti has led meditation retreats in Europe, the United States, and
India on the Buddhist texts of the Yogacara Abhidharma, the source of this
system of mind training. This book represents the crystallization of that teach-
ing experience. Subhuti uses the perennial wisdom of the Abhidharma to illu-
minate mental patterns, and so draws a map of the mind that helps us rst to
recognize and then to transform our inner world and our lives.
Subhuti joined the Triratna Buddhist Order in 1973 and has since devoted
himself to the practice and teaching of Buddhism. Based in north Wales, he
spends part of each year in India, leading retreats and giving lectures. He is
the author of The Buddhist Vision, Sangharakshita: A New Voice in the Buddhist Tradition,
and Buddhism and Friendship.

A passionate examination of Buddhisms engagement
with the capitalist world.
After his Enlightenment, the Buddha set out to help liberate the individual,
and create a society free from suering. The economic resources now exist to
oer a realistic possibility of providing everyone with decent food, shelter,
work, and leisure, to allow each of us to fulll our potential as human beings,
while protecting the environment. What is it in the nature of modern capital-
ism which prevents that happening? Can Buddhism help us build something
better than our current economic system to reduce suering and help the
individual to freedom? In this thought- provoking work, Vaddhaka Linn ex-
plores answers to these questions by examining our economic world from the
perspective of Buddhism.
Having completed a degree in economics, Vaddhaka Linn initially worked
in the United Kingdom in trade unionism, politics, and adult education be-
fore joining the Triratna Buddhist Community, in which he has lived and
worked since 1994. He now divides his time between the United Kingdom
and Estonia, where he teaches and helps to run a Buddhist center.

Despite the natural divides between English and Slovene, throughout
Hippodrome there are echoes of a familiar American modernism in Miklav
Komeljs polyglot, esoteric references, and in his sense of himself as embed-
ded in an international tradition. Komelj is a bit of a chimera: his book in-
cludes imagistic lyrics, pastiches of quotes, persona poems, political polemics,
and a reasonably faithful translation of Seneca. He references Futurist operas,
NATO military action, personal friends, and literary and artistic heroes. His
view is wide and deep, but throughout this book, and despite all these shifts in
attention and approach, he builds a stable, unique vision.

ing, often morbid lyricism that marks her work has won her many awards, a
devoted following in Hong Kong and Taiwan and a growing audience across
the globe.

This posthumous collection is a detailed, retrospective look at one of the more
brilliant poetic minds of the twenty-rst century, and includes an introduc-
tion by Bai Hua and afterword by Bei Dao. A dark humor vivies Zhang Zaos
later work as he eroticizes the harrowing: doubt, nality, and then nothing-
ness. The choice of these poems is retrospective: Mirror, one of his earliest
and best known works starts the collection, while Lantern Town was written
less than two months before his death.
From Elegy:
a letter opens and someone says
its getting cold
another letter opens
it is empty, empty
yet heavier than the world
a letter opens
someone says he is singing from a mountain height
someone says no, even if the potato was dead
the inertia alive in it
would still grow tiny hands
another letter opens . . .
Translator Fiona Sze-Lorrain co-edited the Ma
noa anthologies, Sky Lanterns

(2012) and On Freedom: Spirit, Art, and State (2013), and is the translator of three pre-
vious Jintian titles, including Lan Lans Canyon in the Body and Wind Says by Bai Hua.
An epic voice, dark humor, and historical references
from a contemporary exile.
