1001 InventionsLondon, United Kingdom

1001 Inventions is a non-religious, non-political global British educational initiative that promotes awareness of a thousand years of scientifi c and cultural achievements from Muslim civilization from the seventh century onwards and how those contributions helped build the foundations of our modern world.

1001 Inventions is an initiative of the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation (FSTC), a not-for-profi t organization founded by a group of philanthropic historians, scientists, engineers, and social scientists dedicated to researching and popularizing the history of pre-Renaissance civilizations, especially the Muslim civilization, that have had an impact upon our scientifi c, technological, and cultural heritage.

1001 Inventions is now the world’s leading producer of educational material dedicated to the history of science within Muslim culture and civilization. It researches this material, drawing upon a diverse pool of unbiased professionals, scientists, engineers, and historians from the world’s leading universities, museums, and educational centers of learning.

Their work has received support from hundreds of academics, educators, diplomats, legislators, and heads of state, as well as various private and government agencies from the United Kingdom and around the world. It has been praised for its positive impact on inter-cultural appreciation, social cohesion, and the promotion of science.

1001 Inventions consists of a global touring exhibition, now touring the United States, and supporting educational products, including the 1001 Inventions book, that accompany the exhibition and highlight the scientifi c and technological achievements made by the men and women of diff erent faiths and cultures who lived in Muslim civilization.

“This glorious book overfl ows with the great ideas of the Muslim middle ages. . . . I wish I had had this book fi fty years ago.”—Adam Hart-Davis, pho-tographer, writer, and TV science presenter of the BBC series What the Ancients Did for Us

What do coff ee beans, torpedoes, surgical scalpels, arches, and observatories all have in common?

Were Leonardo da Vinci’s fl ight ideas originals?

Who devised the casing for pill capsules, and where did Fibonacci learn to fl ex his mathematical fi ngers?

The answers to these questions and more can be found in this book.1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World presents an excellent overview of

Muslim heritage written to appeal to the everyday reader and to amaze and re-defi ne many people’s current assumptions of medieval times and of their his-tory and roots.

America’s most outrageous queer theorist offers up a juicy alternative to gay assimilationist culture!

Gay culture has become a nightmare of consumerism, whether it’s an endless quest for Absolut vodka, Diesel jeans, rainbow Hummers, pec implants, or Pottery Barn. Whatever happened to sexual fl amboyance and gender libera-tion, an end to marriage, the military, and the nuclear family? As backrooms are shut down to make way for wedding vows, and gay sexual culture morphs into “straight-acting dudes hangin’ out,” what are the possibilities for a de-fi ant faggotry that challenges the assimilationist norms of a corporate-cozy lifestyle?

Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots? challenges not just the violence of straight homophobia but the hypocrisy of mainstream gay norms that say the only way to stay safe is to act straight: get married, join the military, adopt kids! Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore reinvokes the anger, fl amboyance, and subversion once thriving in gay subcultures in order to create something dangerous and lovely: an exploration of the perils of assimilation; a call for accountability; a vision for change. A sassy and splintering emergency intervention!

Called “startlingly bold and provocative” by Howard Zinn, and described as “a cross between Tinkerbell and a honky Malcolm X with a queer agenda” by The Austin Chronicle , Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is undoubtedly one of America’s most outspoken queer critics. She is the author of two novels, in-cluding, most recently, So Many Ways to Sleep Badly , and is the editor of four non-fi ction antholo gies, including Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformityand That’s Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation .

The only crisis of capitalism is capitalism itself . Let’s toss credit default swaps, bailouts, environmental externalities and, while we’re at it, private owner-ship of production in the dustbin of history. The Accumulation of Freedom brings together economists, historians, theorists, and activists for a fi rst-of-its-kind study of anarchist economics. The editors aren’t trying to subvert the notion of economics—they accept the standard defi nition, but reject the notion that capitalism or central planning are acceptable ways to organize economic life.

Contributors include Robin Hahnel, Iain McKay, Marie Trigona, Chris Spannos, Ernesto Aguilar, Uri Gordon, and more.

Eight volunteers converge to help campesinos build a water system in Chiapas—a strategy to bolster the Zapatista insurgency by helping locals to assert their au-tonomy. Outsiders question the movement they’ve come so far to support—and each other—when forced into a world so unlike the poetic communiqués of Subcomandante Marcos—a world of endemic rural poverty, parochialism, and shifting loyalties to the movement. The quiet dignity of the local compañerosand echoes of B. Traven, Joseph Conrad, and Albert Camus round out this epic yarn.

Ramor Ryan is an Irish writer and translator based in Chiapas, Mexico, and is the author of Clandestines .

eBook ISBN: 978-1-84935-090-7 USC The Nation’s controversial political columnist refl ects on

American empire and what it means for the future. The ’90s and early ’00s as only Alexander Cockburn could tell it.

In these stunning new diaries, political journalist Alexander Cockburn paints the vast and tragic-comic canvas of America’s descent to what Percy Shelley in his poem “Ozymandias” invoked as “that colossal wreck” of empire. This is history both public and private, personal and often very funny. “Alexander Cockburn has always been exceptional,” wrote the late Anthony Howard. “He possesses a genuinely enquiring mind combined with a real love of words.” For the hundreds of thousands of fans who have come to Cockburn’s work though The Nation and CounterPunch, this chronicle will be a marvelous treasure. For those who have not yet discovered him, this is a marvelous portal.

Cockburn’s two previous journal collections chronicling the eighties and early nineties are now regarded as classics. Of Corruptions of Empire, David Rieff wrote in The Times Literary Supplement, “probably the most gifted polemicist writ-ing in English today.” The Golden Age is in Us took us from the sunset of the Reagan era to early Clinton time. The New York Times hailed it as the work of “a Warrior Freethinker, armed with courage and gifted prose to cut down the hypocri-sies of tyrants.” The Times Literary Supplement called it “a patchwork Paradise Lost.” The Village Voice hailed it as “a literary gem.”

Alexander Cockburn is a syndicated national columnist whose work appears regularly in The Nation , New York Free Press , and Los Angeles Times , among others. He co-edits the online news journal CounterPunch and has authored and edited nu-merous books, including the best-selling Whiteout .

Eyes to the South studies the currents of the Algerian revolution alongside the de-velopment of French anarchist thought from the 1950s to the present. The book presents a fl uid mosaic of actions, writings, and theoretical positions as it follows the shifting contexts of Algerian politics and society and the evolv-ing consciousness and organizing of French anarchists in all their diversity. The result is an engaging and fresh approach to both transnational politics and anarchist ideas.

Decolonizing Anarchism looks at the history of South Asian struggles against colo-nialism and neocolonialism, highlighting lesser-known dissidents as well as iconic fi gures. This approach reveals an alternate narrative of decoloniza-tion, in which achieving a nation-state is not the objective. Maia Ramnath also studies the anarchist vision of alternate society, which closely echoes the con-cept of total decolonization on the political, economic, social, cultural, and psychological planes. This facilitates not only a reinterpretation of the history of anticolonialism, but insight into the meaning of anarchism itself.

Maia Ramnath teaches at New York University and is a board member of the Institute for Anarchist Studies.

eBook ISBN: 978-1-84935-085-3 USC

A new scholarly analysis of the importance of direct democracy and national liberation in the work of autonomous Marxist intellectual C.L.R. James. Exploring James’ perspectives on Ghana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Haiti, Trinidad, Cuba, India, and China, Matthew Quest eschews the dominant in-terpretation of James as a cultural critic and restores the centrality of inde-pendent labor action in James’ famous notion that “every cook can govern.”

Matthew Quest received his PhD in American civilization from Brown University and is a visiting lecturer at Georgia State University.

“ Elizabeth Nunez is one of the fi nest and most necessary voices in contem-porary American and Caribbean fi ction.”—Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin

“Elizabeth Nunez has written a book so searing, so astute, so immediate to our times, it resurrects; it disrupts inevitably; it startles complacency; and over and over again, it invites healing to fl ourish.”—Patricia Powell, author of The Fullness of Everything

In an age of reality TV, a husband and wife cling to Victorian notions of pri-vacy, though doing so threatens the life of the wife. Their daughter Anna yearns for her mother’s unguarded aff ection, and eventually learns there is value in restraint. But Anna, a Caribbean American immigrant, fi nds that lesson harder to accept when, eager to assimilate in her new country, she dis-covers that a gap yawns between her and American-born citizens.

The head of a specialized imprint at a major publishing house, Anna is soon challenged for her position by an ambitious upstart who accuses her of not really understanding American culture, particularly African American culture. Her job at stake, Anna turns for advice to her boyfriend Paul, a Caribbean American himself, who attempts to convince her that immigrants must accept limitations on their freedom in America.

Told in spare and transcendent prose, Boundaries is a riveting immigrant story, a fascinating look into the world of contemporary book publishing, a beautiful extension of the exploration of family dynamics that began in Nunez’s previous novel Anna In-Between , and a heartwarming love story.

Elizabeth Nunez is the award-winning author of seven novels. Her most recent, Anna In-Between , was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and was selected for the 2010 PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award. She is a distin-guished professor at Hunter College, CUNY, where she teaches creative writ-ing and fi ction.

Set in a remote stretch of desert near the border of west Texas and Mexico at the turn of the twentieth century, this story follows the pursuits of Owen Scraperton as he struggles to establish Pristina, a utopian community based on mercury mining that aims to resolve the great questions of labor and race. As age, love, and experience cause Owen to modify his original vision, his fi ercely idealistic daughter Victoria remains true to Pristina’s founding principles—setting them up for a major confl ict that captures the imagination of the en-tire town. The Mercury Fountain combines realistic modern writing with elements from American and Greco-Roman mythology, taking its cue from Mercury, the most slippery and mischievous of gods, who rules over science, commerce, eloquence, and thievery.

Eliza Factor was born in 1968 in Boston, Massachusetts, and currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. The Mercury Fountain is her debut novel.

The long awaited reissue of the best-selling novel Toni Morrison

called “riveting . . . searing and expertly imagined.”

(includes Canada) Following her hit novel Glorious, Bernice L. McFadden produces a mesmerizing, fantastical historical novel featuring

the spirit of Emmett Till.

Gathering of Waters is a deeply engrossing tale narrated by the town of Money, Mississippi—a site both signifi cant and infamous in our collective story as a nation. Money is personifi ed in this haunting story, which chronicles its trou-bled history following the arrival of the Hilson and Bryant families.

Tass Hilson and Emmett Till were young and in love when Emmett was bru-tally murdered in 1955. Anxious to escape the town, Tass marries Maximillian May and relocates to Detroit.

Forty years later, after the death of her husband, Tass returns to Money and fantasy takes fl esh when Emmett Till’s spirit is fi nally released from the dank, dark waters of the Tallahatchie River. The two lovers are reunited, bringing the story to an enchanting and profound conclusion.

Gathering of Waters mines the truth about Money, Mississippi, as well as the Bryant and Hilson families, and threads their history over decades. The bare-bones realism—both disturbing and riveting—combined with a magical realm in which ghosts have the fi nal say, is reminiscent of Toni Morrison’s Beloved .

Bernice L. McFadden is the author of seven critically acclaimed novels in-cluding the classic Sugar and Glorious , which was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine ; selected as the debut title for the One Book, One Harlem program; and was a fi nalist for the NAACP Image Award. She is a two-time Hurston/Wright Legacy Award fi nalist, as well as the recipient of two fi ction honor awards from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Her sophomore novel The Warmest December was praised by Nobel Prize–winning author Toni Morrison as “searing and expertly imagined.” McFadden lives in Brooklyn, New York.

The debut title from the new OpenLens imprint: a universal tale of family, heritage, and the ties that bind.

“Makeda is a soaring, wrenching, and ultimately revealing glimpse into the roles within a powerful matriarchal family. . . . A must read for anyone who wants to appreciate history, the role of women, and the signifi cance of transfer-ring ideas, goals, and ambitions from one generation to the next.”—Charles J. Ogletree Jr., author of The Presumption of Guilt

“In Robinson’s majestic prose and sweeping historical vision, the tongues of Virginia Woolf, Gabriel García Márquez, and Toni Morrison blend to re-mind us that we can renew our souls in the eyes of ancestors who return to us in whatever way our lives demand.”—Michael Eric Dyson, author of Know What I Mean?

Makeda Gee Florida Harris March is a proud matriarch, the anchor and emo-tional bellwether who holds together a hard-working African American fam-ily living in 1950s Richmond, Virginia. Lost in shadow is Makeda’s grandson Gray, who begins escaping into the magical world of Makeda’s tiny parlor.

Makeda, a woman blind since birth but who has always dreamed in color, begins to confi de in Gray the things she “sees” and remembers from her dream state, and a story emerges that is layered with historical accuracy beyond the scope of Makeda’s limited education. Gradually, Gray begins to make a con-nection between his grandmother’s dreams and the epic life of an African queen described in the Bible.

Part coming-of-age story, part spiritual journey, and part love story, Makedais a universal tale of family, heritage, and the ties that bind. Randall Robinson plumbs the hearts of Makeda and Gray and summons our collective blood memories, taking the reader on an unforgettable journey of the soul that will linger long after the last page has been turned.

Randall Robinson is the author of An Unbroken Agony and the national best-sellers The Debt , The Reckoning , Quitting America , and Defending the Spirit . In 1984 he established the Free South Africa Movement, which pushed successfully for the imposition of US sanctions against apartheid South Africa. In 1994 his public advocacy, including a twenty-seven-day hunger strike, led to the UN multi national operation that restored Haiti’s fi rst democratically elected govern ment to power. Robinson is a professor of law at Penn State Law School and is the creator, co-producer, and host of the public television human rights series World on Trial . He lives with his wife Hazel in St. Kitts, West Indies.

The Plot Against Hip Hop : A Novel Nelson George

“The most accomplished black music critic of his generation.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Perhaps one of the greatest books ever written. It has the realness of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the warmth of The Color Purple, and the page count of Tuesdays with Morrie. It’s a must-read.”—Chris Rock on City Kid

The Plot Against Hip Hop is a noir novel set in the world of hip hop culture. The stabbing murder of esteemed music critic Dwayne Robinson in a Soho offi ce building is dismissed by the NYPD as a gang initiation. But his old friend, bodyguard and security expert D Hunter, suspects there are larger forces at work.

D Hunter’s investigation into his mentor’s murder leads into a parallel history of hip hop, a place where renegade government agents, behind-the-scenes power brokers, and paranoid journalists know a truth that only a few hardcore fans suspect. This rewrite of hip hop history mixes real-life fi g-ures with characters pulled from the culture’s hidden world, including Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Russell Simmons.

D Hunter has his own secrets, his own vulnerabilities, which he fi ghts to overcome as he becomes a reluctant private eye. After reading The Plot Against Hip Hop, you’ll never hear the music the same way.

Nelson George is one of the fi rst writers to document hip hop culture and is the author of several award-winning books on the subject, including Hip Hop America, The Death of Rhythm & Blues, and Russell Simmons’ autobiography Life and Def. He directed Queen Latifah in the HBO fi lm Life Support, and executive produces VH1’s long-running Hip Hop Honors broadcast.

A bedtime book for parents who live in the real world.

“ Total genius.”—Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn

“This is the most honest children’s book ever written. And it’s f*cking hilarious.”—A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically

“I wish this book had been around during my daughter’s overly protracted sleep rituals! Finally, someone tells it like it really is. This is no-guilt funny and a godsend!”—Cristina García, author of The Lady Matador’s Hotel

Go the Fuck To Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sail-ing off to dreamland. Honest, profane, and aff ectionate, Adam Mansbach’s verses and Ricardo Cortés’ illustrations perfectly capture the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant. Here is a sample verse:

The cats nestle close to their kittens now.The lambs have laid down with the sheep.You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dearPlease go the fuck to sleep.

Adam Mansbach ’s daughter Vivien is two and a half. His novels include The End of the Jews , winner of the California Book Award, and the best-selling Angry Black White Boy , a San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2005. His fi ction and essays have appeared in The New York Times Book Review , The Boston Globe , Vibe , The Believer , Los Angeles Times , and elsewhere. He is the 2010–2011 New Voices Professor of Fiction at Rutgers University. This is his fi rst children’s book. You probably should not read it to actual children, and if you do, he cannot be held legally responsible.

Ricardo Cortés has illustrated books about electricity, the Jamaican bobsled team, and Chinese food. His work has been featured in The New York Times , Vanity Fair , Entertainment Weekly , New York magazine, The Village Voice , San Francisco Chronicle , and on CNN and FOX News. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Called “a truly masterful fi rst book” by Cole Swenson, Pier is the inaugural winner of the Kundiman Poetry Prize.

“As if through an echolocation of brilliant and insistent off -rhyme, these poems eff ect a delicate placement of self into body, body into world, world into word. And at the center of it all is an even more delicate loss. Janine Oshiro’s Pier takes its measure in precise instances that ache with intelligence. A truly masterful fi rst book.”—Cole Swensen

Seeking to identify the self that straddles both spiritual and physical worlds, Janine Oshiro’s multidimensional poems are borderlands—wild and uncontained—where vision and illusion become crucial to survival. Pier is a place of fren-zied collision where human industry meets feral ocean, a place of arrivals, departures, and transitions. Within these unique architectures, lyric intensity abounds and our identities discover a common landscape.

From “Habitat”:

Here is a paper house to burn.Here are the stones that address the pond.

Now count downthe rings at the top of the temple.

The invasive frogs are said to die uponleaving their original habitat.

A pleading look in the eyes, sun-shined, eclipsed by

a pupil. I want outside.In the wrist is a bone like a boat.

I have been a long time out of water.

Janine Oshiro holds degrees from Whitworth College (now Whitworth University), Portland State University, and the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She is a Kundiman fellow and the recipient of a poetry fellowship from Oregon’s Literary Arts. She lives in Hawaii and teaches at Windward Community College.

Iraqi author Amal al-Jubouri contextualizes America’s occupation of Iraq through a Qur’an parable, portraying life before and after the war.

“Through these poems, Amal al-Jubouri connects us to the earliest known poems, and yet the dialectic tension between them is utterly contemporary. Al-Jubouri writes ‘This is my protest, this is my folly,’ yet these poems are neither simple protest nor in any sense folly. These poems are both essential and eternal.”—Nick Flynn

This translation of Iraqi author Amal al-Jubouri contextualizes America’s occupation of Iraq through the Qur’an’s story of Hagar. Complementary pairs of poems portray life before and after the war. This work simultane-ously mirrors Hagar’s desperate running between Safa and Marwah, as we pace frantically between pre- and post-occupation Iraq—the poet begging in vain for poetry not to abandon her people.

Honor before the occupation

Worship the LeaderLove the PartyCurse America, the siege ~ Honor after the occupation

Curse the DictatorForsake the PartyClap with fl owers in your hand for America, her wall

Amal al-Jubouri , a native of Iraq, is the author of fi ve collections of poetry including Wine from Wounds ; Words, Set Me Free! ; Enheduanna , Priestess of Exile ; and 99 Veils . In 1997 she took asylum in Germany after having been listed fi rst on Uday Hussein’s list of renegade Iraqi writers and was the fi rst Iraqi writer to return to Baghdad, two days after the fall of the regime. The founder and editor-in-chief of al-Diwan , the fi rst and only Arab-German literary magazine, she is president of the East-West Diwan German Cultural Foundation and acts as cultural counselor for the Yemen Embassy in Berlin.

Experimental, stylistically diverse, and musical, me and Nina refl ects an intimate conversation between the author and Nina Simone.

“Monica Hand’s me and Nina is a beautiful book by a soul survivor. In these poems she sings deep songs of violated intimacy and the hard work of repair. The poems are unsentimental, blood-red, and positively true, note for note, like the singing of Nina Simone herself. Hand has written a moving, deeply satisfying, and unforgettable book.”—Elizabeth Alexander

In an intimate conversation with the “High Priestess of Soul,” Monica A. Hand surveys the places and moods of alienation through poems that are as musical and stylistically diverse as Nina Simone’s work. Hand readily embraces a “mass hypnosis” style, putting “a spell on [us]” with her intensely passionate cries and commitment to embracing both tragedy and exuberance in these insightful poems.

POETRY December



Peter Dale’s qualities as a lyric poet are unusual: he marries intimacy of ad-dress with remarkable skill in formal verse. He is interested in his subjects—love, relationships, memory, all kinds of daily exchange—and in bringing them directly to the reader with unassuming craft and conviction. The preci-sion of his writing matches its intensity of feeling.

This book is the product of fi fty years’ elegant, incisive, thoughtful, and moving work by a leading British poet of rare skill. Dale is also the acclaimed translator of Dante’s Divine Comedy and several French poets, including Jules Laforgue, Tristan Corbière, François Villon, and Paul Valéry.

Peter Dale was a secondary school teacher in England for many years and was co-editor of the infl uential journal Agenda. He now lives in Wales.

I saw the tracks of angels in the earth,The beauty of heaven walking by itself on the world.

The great fourteenth-century poet’s lyric and love poems are presented as liv-ing poetry in Nicholas Kilmer’s powerful and moving versions. His selection convinces us that, as he puts it, “Petrarch deserves to be valued as a real man, a careful thinker, a good poet.” Free in form yet holding close to the central impulses of Petrarch’s inspiration, Kilmer’s “readings” in this bilingual edi-tion present Petrarch as a confessional poet, but one who is a humane moral-ist of startling honesty.

Nicholas Kilmer, former dean of the Swain College of Art and Design in New Bedford, Massachusetts, has made his living as an art dealer and curator since leaving teaching in 1982. He also writes mysteries set in the art world.

An updated edition of Poland’s most popular and infl uential poet. Tadeusz Rózewicz is an outstanding fi gure in the generation whose work was marked by Poland’s traumatic war-time experience: “What I produced is poetry for the horror-stricken. For those abandoned to butchery. For survivors.”

“The greatest Afrikaner poet of his generation.”— The New Yorker

Reminiscent of Julio Cortázar’s Cronopios and Famas , this searing collection of lyrical and often nightmarish prose pieces is inventive in both language and vision. At once vulnerable, playful, heart-wrenching, and melancholy, these dreamscapes shed light on the human condition, exile, and death. A feast for the senses and the mind.

Breyten Breytenbach is the author of All One Horse , Intimate Stranger , Mouroir , Voice Over: A Nomadic Conversation with Mahmoud Darwish (Archipelago Books), The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist , A Season in Paradise , and Windcatcher , among many oth-ers. His honors include the Alan Paton Award, the Hertzog Prize, the Prix Max Jacob, and the Mahmoud Darwish Award.

A poignant, very funny novel full of unforgettable characters who reminisce

about their changing country.

“Czechoslovakia’s greatest living writer.”—Milan Kundera

In this moving, absorbing novel, we meet the eccentric residents of a home for the elderly who reminisce about their lives and their changing country. Written with a keen eye for the absurd and peppered with dialogue that cap-tures the poignancy of the everyday, Harlequin’s Millions is a sensual delight.

Bohumil Hrabal (1914–1997) worked as a railway dispatcher during the Nazi occupation of then-Czechoslovakia, a traveling salesman, a steelworker, a re-cycling mill worker, and a stagehand. His novels were censored under the Communist regime and have since been translated into nearly thirty languages.

Praise for Eric Chevillard’s Palafox :

“Beautiful. . . . Very amusing. . . . Chevillard takes real narrative risks. . . . A must for anyone interested in anti-realist fi ction.”— Rain Taxi Review of Books

The characters in Prehistoric Times remind us of the inhabitants of Samuel Beckett’s world: dreamers who in their savage and deductive folly try to modify reality. In an entirely original voice—full of burlesque variations, accelerations, and ruptures—Eric Chevillard asks luminous and playful questions about who we really are.

Winner of the 2003 Prix Wepler for Le Vaillant petit tailleur , Eric Chevillard is one of the most inventive authors writing in French today. He is also the au-thor of On the Ceiling , The Crab Nebula , and Demolishing Nisard .

“Wouldn’t you like to buy a dog?”the angel asked, holding in his armsmy heartbarking,letting blood like a tail.

In Nichita Stanescu’s world, angels and mysterious forces converse with the earthbound while love and a quest for truth remain central. His startling im-ages cut deep and his grappling—making bold leaps—is full of humor. His poems seduce the reader away from the human.

The poems of Nichita Stanescu (1933–1983) are written in clear language while posing profound metaphysical questions.

An astonishing how-to book that elevates embroidery to an art form, by the co-author of the best-selling Yarn Bombing.

Hoopla , by the co-author of 2009’s bestselling Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffi ti , showcases those who take the craft of embroidery where it’s never gone before, in an astonishing, full-color display of embroidered art. Hoopla rebels against the quaint and familiar embroidery motifs of fl owers and swashes, and focuses instead on innovative stitch artists who specialize in unusual, guerrilla-style patterns such as subway maps, feminist Girl Guide badges, and metal band letterforms; it demonstrates that modern embroidery artists are as sharp as the needles with which they work.

Hoopla includes twenty-nine innovative embroidery patterns and profi les of contemporary embroidery artists, including Jenny Hart, author of Sublime Stitching ; Rosa Martyn of the UK-based Craftivism Collective; Ray Materson, an ex-con who learned to stitch in prison; Sherry Lynn Wood of the Tattooed Baby Doll Project, which collaborated with female tattoo artists across the United States; Penny Nickles and Johnny Murder, the self-proclaimed Bonnie and Clyde of embroidery; and Alexandra Walters, a military wife who repli-cates military portraits and weapons in her stitching.

Full-color throughout and bursting with history, technique, and sass, Hoopla will teach readers how to stitch a mythical jackalope; needlepoint nipple doilies, a ransom note pillow, and mean and dainty knuckle-tattoo church gloves; and create their own innovative embroidery projects. If you like anar-chistic DIY craft and the idea of deviating from the rules, Hoopla will inspire you to wield a needle with fl air!

A cookbook and guide to the “preservationists” and locavore afi cionados who are rediscovering the lost art of jams and pickles.

We Sure Can! celebrates the ongoing “Canvolution,” in which urban “preserva-tionists,” local-food afi cionados, rural picklers and jammers, and food blog-gers are rediscovering the lost art of home canning jams, pickles, and other preserves. And we’re not talking your standard strawberry jam here; passion-ate canners are preserving all manner of fruits and vegetables and combining them with unexpectedly exotic spices and ingredients.

The book features over one hundred recipes from an international assem-bly of inventive canners (including the author herself), as well as profi les of those who do it best. The book’s recipes are divided according to the seasons; some of the more tantalizing creations include Lemongrass, Ginger, & Kaffi r Lime Jelly; Blackberry Lime Jam; Dandelion Jelly; Pickled Ramps; Lavender Peach Preserves; and Pickled Watermelon Rinds. The book also features prac-tical and important information and safety tips for those wanting to start can-ning produce at home.

Perfect for fans of the growing locavore movement and those who are em-powered by the idea of “putting up” their own preserves, this book will in-spire readers to start their own jam sessions as soon as the year’s bumper crop of fruits and vegetables becomes available. Can anybody join the movement? We sure can!

Sarah B. Hood is a freelance food writer who has been canning for more than a decade. Her preserves have won prizes from Canada’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and the Culinary Historians of Canada. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.

A study of independent fi lm in seven countries around the world, celebrating the talented renegade fi lmmakers who defy the mainstream.

Shoot It! is a revealing history of how Hollywood, with its eye on the bottom line, arguably lost its ability to support the work of creative fi lmmakers; it is also a passionate portrait of the American independent fi lm scene that has produced some of the best movies of the last two decades and inspired those in other countries to do the same.

The book examines the Hollywood studio system over several decades, from the period when moguls like Harry and Jack Warner and Louis B. Mayer made quality yet commercially viable fi lms, to today, when studios seem only interested in surefi re sequels and comic-book adaptations aimed at a global audience. By the same token, Shoot It! also celebrates today’s great movies pro-duced outside of the studio system, chronicling the international indepen-dent fi lm movement in seven countries (the United States, Canada, Mexico, Britain, France, Romania, and South Korea), from its roots (French New Wave, British kitchen sink, the New York scene) to the revolutionary impact of digi tal technology. It also features commentary from indie fi lm notables such as Gus Van Sant, Mike Leigh, Claire Denis, Atom Egoyan, Catherine Breillat, Sally Potter, John Sayles, and Ken Loach.

While the studios envisage a generic universe, repressing local fi lm cultures along the way, talented independents continue to tell local stories with uni-versal appeal. This book is a celebration of those determined fi lmmakers who, despite it all, overcome all obstacles and just shoot it.

David Spaner is a fi lm critic and freelance journalist in Vancouver, British Columbia.

LITERARY CRITICISM October


Trade Paper US $17.95 978-1-55152-410-8 US

eBook ISBN: 978-1-55152-411-5 W

A book by the acclaimed intellectual historian on the queering of the French literary canon by American writers and scholars.

François Cusset, author of the acclaimed book French Theory , investigates the queering of the French literary canon by American writers and scholars in this thought-provoking and free-minded journey across six centuries of literary classics and sexual polemics.

Cusset presents the foundations and rationale for American queer the-ory, the fi eld of study established in the 1990s and promulgated by writers and scholars such as Judith Butler, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Michael Warner (in the wake of Michel Foucault), which challenges a supposed “hetero-normative” ideology in our culture. He provides an overview of their re-interpretation of the French literary canon from a queer perspective, then deliberately goes further, confronting that same canon with a lively form of general suspicion—seeking gender trouble and sexual ambiguities in the most unexpected corners of French literary classics, in which macho heroes turn out to be homosocial melancholics and the most seemingly submissive house-wives are great vanguards of lesbian liberation.

Cusset’s survey includes medieval and Renaissance literature, works from the Age of Enlightenment, nineteenth-century avant-gardists such as Charles Baudelaire and Honoré de Balzac, and twentieth-century modernists such as Marcel Proust and Jean Genet.

Bold in its themes and propositions, The Inverted Gaze (a translation of the book Queer Critics ) is an extraordinary work about French literature and American queer politics by one of France’s biggest intellectual stars.

François Cusset is a professor of American studies at the University of Paris. He is the author of numerous books including French Theory (2008).

David Homel is an award-winning translator and writer who lives in Montreal, Quebec.

One family’s journey from a comfortable life in the city to living sustainably off the grid in a century-old farmhouse.

Like so many other city-dwellers, Cam and Michelle Mather longed for a sim-pler, quieter life in the country. When they found a century-old farmhouse on 150 acres of land that was in their price range, they jumped at the chance to make their move. The fact that the home was “off -grid” with no power or tele-phone lines connecting it to the outside world seemed like a bonus!

Twelve years later their life in the country is not quite as simple as they had envisioned, but it is peaceful. There were more challenges than they could have anticipated, as well as more rewards.

Along the way they installed more solar panels, erected a wind turbine, and upgraded and replaced all of the major components of their off -grid electri-cal system. They installed a solar-thermal hot water system; fi gured out how to have a phone, internet, and satellite TV; and kept their home heated with wood cut from their own property. They also carved out a garden and began growing much of their own food.

They acquired new skills and knowledge, but, most importantly, they learned to appreciate the value of good neighbors, good books, and good manure.

Cam Mather is a writer, publisher, and video producer who knows how to equalize batteries and pinch suckers off of tomato plants.

Michelle Mather looks after the editing, the website, and the dwindling bank account and keeps Cam calm during times of crisis.

Behler PublicationsLake Forest, CA

Since 2003, Behler Publications has been publishing best-selling and critically acclaimed works chronicling personal journeys with socially relevant themes: stories that deal with how people are infl uenced and changed by their experiences and how they deal with those repercussions. Our books invite introspection: “I’m a better and more thoughtful/smarter person for having read this book.”

We are excited about our upcoming titles, including Throwaway Players: The Concussion Crisis From Pee Wee Football to the NFL by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers president Gay Culverhouse. This is a timely story of the violence and resulting health issues in sports and the NFL in particular. Off the Street explores the downside of the “victimless crime” of prostitution and off ers parents guidance on how to protect their daughters from these predators.

Highlights of our best-selling backlist include KTLA’s News at Ten: 60 Years with Stan Chambers, the Los Angeles news icon and Los Angeles Times bestseller. Stan began his career with the record-breaking twenty-four-hour coverage of Kathy Fiscus in 1949 and, years later, broke the Rodney King beating. CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen made a huge impact on readers with his heartfelt tribute to his wife in Jan’s Story, a Denver Post bestseller, as he details how “forever” suddenly and terrifyingly has an expiration date.

Behler Publications also enjoyed giving the reading public Julie Genovese’s uplifting memoir Nothing Short of Joy, to which Wayne Dyer and Bernie Siegel, MD, gave enthusiastic high-fi ves. Our last season closed with a brilliant, inspirational, and vital book with Kim Michele Richardson’s The Unbreakable Child, which not only covers the only successfully prosecuted case against a Kentucky Roman Catholic orphanage, but includes Kim’s letter to the Pope and his reply. This book received a starred review from Booklist.

We hope you enjoy looking at our upcoming titles and thought-provoking backlist. We’re certain you’ll fi nd them as irresistible as our readers have.

TRUE CRIME / BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY September



A veteran detective reveals the brutal truth of the “victimless” crime of prostitution, sharing his mission to get sex predators off the street.

“I couldn’t put it down, and neither will you.”—John Lescroart, New York Timesbest-selling author of the Dismas Hardy novels and The Hunt Club

Off the Street is detective Christopher Baughman’s true life story of fi ghting to protect a class of women who are too easily forgotten and readily dismissed. Chris and the Las Vegas Pandering Investigation Team (PIT) wage war against the pimps who kidnap, trick, and beat women into submission and into a life of prostitution.

What begins with an attempt to apprehend, arrest, and convict a pimp responsible for beating a woman with a baseball bat over a two-day period quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Chris shares the emotions of the victims, parents, and family members who are involved in this in-vestigation and off ers parents guidance on how to protect their daughters from these predators. Chris ventures back to his own youth, to a memory that served as the momentum for his passion for saving the people and the city he has sworn to protect.

Christopher Baughman heads up the Pandering Investigation Team (PIT) and Human Traffi cking Task Force in Las Vegas, where his team has arrested and convicted several of the city’s wealthiest and most violent criminals. Their success caught the attention of investigative reporter Chris Hansen of NBC’s Dateline Undercover: To Catch a Predator and has been the subject of several episodes, as well as a segment on NBC’s American Greed . Chris teaches the anatomy of pan-dering investigations to other departments across the nation, including mem-bers of the FBI, IRS, and federal parole and probation agencies.

The underbelly of the National Football League: a rare insider’s look into the world of arthritis, dementia, and suicide.

The NFL insists players know they’re playing a dangerous game, but players never see the deteriorated mental capacities of their former heroes. Throwaway Players is former Tampa Bay Buccaneers president Gay Culverhouse’s story of the broken bodies and lost souls of the men who have left the locker room and what remains after the cheering subsides. Focused on making money rather than the well-being of their players, this is the dark side of football the NFL doesn’t want fans to see.

Additionally, high schools, colleges, and independent sports organizations have little oversight when choosing player’s equipment. This breeds a new generation of kids suff ering from multiple concussions and damaged lives. Throwaway Players off ers guidance to parents navigating the world of competi-tive sports as well as advocacy and resources for athletes often left in the dark about appropriate procedures for treating injuries, especially head traumas. Throwaway Players is essential reading for any parent, athlete, and sports fan.

Gay Culverhouse testifi ed before Congress on football head injuries and suc-cessfully changed the policy of including an independent neurologist on the sidelines of every NFL game. Gay’s work with former players has appeared in The New York Times , Sarasota Herald Tribune , St. Petersburg Times , The Tampa Tribune , Time magazine , and many more. She has appeared on several radio shows, includ-ing PBS and ESPN, and is featured in three documentaries that are in post-production (with CNN, ESPN, and an independent fi lmmaker). In November 2009 Gay formed The Gay Culverhouse Players’ Outreach Program, Inc., a nonprofi t organization to further the work nationally for retired players.

The Next 15 Minutes is Kim’s high octane story of how she drew strength from her life among the ski slopes and of the daring world that showed her how to survive and fi ght back.

Kim Kircher has been an EMT with avalanche control at Crystal Mountain, Washington, for twenty years.

The Body Politic is the fi rst comprehensive history of the signifi cance and struggles over science in America.

In her foreword to Science Next , Elizabeth Edwards wrote of science as a tool for social progress: “Innovation is not simply the abstract victory of knowl-edge [or] the research that gave me years to live; the next science can advance human fl ourishing and serve the common good. That’s the kind of world I want to leave for my children, and for yours.” With these words, she joined a tradition that goes back to America’s founders, who saw America itself as a “great experiment.”

Yet while no one can deny that science undergirds the American Dream, it has long been fertile terrain for the “culture wars.” Along with arguing the pros and cons of abortion and healthcare, policymakers must now grapple with advancements that raise questions about what it means to be human: we’ve decoded the genome, but should we modify it to enhance certain “de-sirable” traits? If we can, should we prolong life at any cost? Will we soon be counting robots, cyborgs, and chimeras among our friends and family?

The fi rst book to unpack our love/hate relationship with science from our country’s origins to today, The Body Politic is essential reading for science buff s and concerned citizens alike.

Jonathan D. Moreno is editor of the Center for American Progress’ on-line magazine Science Progress and professor of bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. Author and editor of many seminal books and articles on sci-ence and science policy, he divides his time between Philadelphia, PA, and Washington, DC.

Praise for Melissa Pritchard:

“Melissa Pritchard is one of our fi nest writers.”—Annie Dillard

“Pritchard’s quicksilver ability to blend biting social/political commen-tary with a rueful analysis of relationships makes [her work a] delight.”— Publishers Weekly

“I have admired Melissa Pritchard’s writing for several years now for its wis-dom, its humble elegance, and its earthy comedy.”—Rick Moody

In each of these eight genre-bending tales, Melissa Pritchard overturns the conventions of mysteries, westerns, gothic horror, and historical fi ction to capture surprising and often shocking aspects of her characters’ lives.

In one story, Pritchard creates a pastiche of historical facts, songs, and tall tales, contrasting the famed fi gures of Buff alo Bill’s Wild West Show, in-cluding Annie Oakley and Sitting Bull, with the real, genocidal history of the American West. Other stories are inspired by the mysterious life of Kaspar Hauser, a haunted Victorian hospital where the wounded of D-Day are taken during World War II, and the story of Robert LeRoy Ripley of “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” and his beguiling “odditoriums,” told from the perspective of his lifelong fact checker.

Melissa Pritchard is a Flannery O’Connor, Janet Heidinger Kafka, and Carl Sandburg Award–winning author. She has also been an embedded journalist in Afghanistan, where she befriended Ashton Goodman, a young soldier she memorialized for O, The Oprah Magazine , and authored a biography of Virginia Galvin Piper that US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor called “a delight to read.” Founder of the Ashton Goodman Grant and the Afghan Women’s Writing Project, she teaches at Arizona State University.

Pop culture meets cutting-edge science in this one-volume introduction to the history of science and modern biology.

Praise for Gerald Weissmann:

“The premier essayist of our time, Gerald Weissmann writes with grace and style.”—Richard Selzer

“[Weissmann] bridges the space between science and the humanities, and par-ticularly between medicine and the muses, with wit, erudition, and, most im-portant, wisdom.”—Adam Gopnik

“Weissmann introduces us to a new way of thinking about the connections be-tween art and medicine.”— The New York Times Book Review

Called “an absolutely first-rate writer” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Gerald Weissmann is not merely another popular science writer and intellectual his-torian, but one of our most incisive cultural critics and satirists. Whether contrasting the science of reproductive biology with J-Lo’s view of fertility, engaging in the healthcare debate, or imagining the future prose styling of the scientifi c research paper in the age of Twitter, his writing is always instructive and often hilarious.

Epigenetics, which attempts to explain how our genes respond to our envi-ronment, is the latest twist on the historic nature/nurture debate. In address-ing this and other controversies in contemporary science Weissmann taps what he calls “the social network of Western Civilization,” including the many neglected women of science: from the martyred Hypatia of Alexandria, the fi rst woman scientist, to the Nobel laureates Marie Curie, Christine Nusslein-Volhard, and Elizabeth Blackburn, among other luminaries in the fi eld.

Gerald Weissmann is director of the Biotechnology Study Center at the New York University School of Medicine and editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal . His essays and reviews have appeared in numerous publications worldwide, including the London Review of Books and The New York Times Book Review .

Shortly after completing his sixth novel, Ray Robertson suff ered a depression of suicidal intensity. Central to his recovery was the decision to try to answer two of the biggest questions we can ask. What makes humans happy? And what makes a life worth living?

His answers aren’t what you might expect from a mental illness memoir—but they’re exactly what you’d expect from Ray Robertson. With the vitality of Nick Hornby and a brashness all his own, Robertson runs his hands over life, death, intoxication, and art. Unashamedly working-class and unabashedly lit-erary, Why Not? is a rolling, rocking, anti-Sisyphean odyssey.

Ray Robertson is the celebrated author of eight books and six novels, includ-ing What Happened Later, about Jack Kerouac’s last years. He lives and writes in Toronto, Ontario.

A memoir of the Golden Age of Hollywood and publishing by one of the

When a woman discovers a fortune in the attic, she begins a pilgrimage that takes her to the knife-edge between blessing and curse. Two fatherless children think Mr. Crisander is nothing more than the creepy next-door neighbor—until they nearly kill his pot-bellied pig and learn the secrets of his past. A young girl talks about grade six, stealing cigarettes, and her sister’s no-food diet while being photographed by an Internet pornographer.

The stories of Suitable Precautions are fresh and haunting, resonant with the bitter beauty of lives derailed, reclaimed, celebrated, and questioned. By turns funny and absurd, unexpected and devastating, these stories reveal the strange and tenuous bonds between people in love, marriage, and friendship.

Laura Boudreau’s work has been published in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Switzerland. She lives in London, England, where she works in publishing.

David Hickey is a past recipient of the Milton Acorn Prize, the Ralph Gustafson Prize for Poetry, and was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Award for best fi rst book of poetry in Canada. His work has appeared in magazines and journals across Canada and the United States.

A comprehensive overview of new design methods and techniques that are emerging in the fi eld of architecture.

Inspiration provides a comprehensive overview of new design methods and tech-niques that are emerging in the fi eld of architecture. Many of these design methods make use of digital media and computer algorithms. Some already existed for a long time, but are reinvented in new ways, like design by fold-ing paper materials. These new methodologies have changed the way archi-tects and students design.

The book showcases hundreds of examples, models, sketches, and renderings of architectural designs within dozens of diff erent methodologies, including:

• Designing with basic elements (lines, circles, squares, planes, dots)• Pattern development (texture, axes, grids, symmetry)• Spacial patterns (structure, matrix, modules)• Typography as a design tool (psychological phenomena, composition

theory, color design)• Nonspatial and spatial transformations (fi gure ground relations, addi-

tive spatial design, spatial eff ects)• Basic spatial design, complex spatial design, and parametric design

Argentina: the dictators are on trial, but corruption and violence are still rampant. A crime novel by a former guerrillero.

Praise for Ernesto Mallo’s Needle in a Haystack :

“A vivid and compelling picture of a society riven by corruption, social breakdown, and casual brutality. A pacy, intense, and thought-provoking read.”— Guardian

“Martin Cruz Smith and Philip Kerr fans will be rewarded.”— Publishers Weekly

“A gritty, painful portrait of a dystopian culture spinning further and further out of control. A compelling, blood-stained document of tyranny and brutal-ity told with skill and passion.”— Crime Time

In the second book in the Superintendent Lascano series, Lascano is drawn into a war between the Buenos Aires chief of police and the Apostles, drug-dealing cops who want to control the city. When the chief of police is mur-dered, Lascano becomes the Apostles’ next target. His only way out of the country is to retrieve the loot from a bungled bank robbery.

Ernesto Mallo paints a scathing portrait of Argentina, where the Junta’s generals are paraded in court in civilian clothes and treated like mere petty thieves. Corruption and violence continue to rule, but at the center of the novel lies a touching portrayal of two broken men, a cop and a robber, whose humanity is sorely tested by the troubles racking their beloved country.

Born in 1948, Ernesto Mallo is a published essayist, newspaper columnist, and playwright. He is a former militant, pursued by the dictatorship as a member of the guerilla movement.

A portrait of a wife betrayed, at fi rst desperate to save her marriage but then intent on violent revenge, by an Argentinian best-selling writer.

Praise for Claudia Piñeiro’s Thursday Night Widows :

“An agile novel, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying society.”—José Saramago, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature

“A gripping story. The dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an as-sassin but of Argentina’s class structure and the willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie.”—The Times Literary Supplement

“A fi ne morality tale which explores the dark places societies enter when they place material comfort before social justice, and security before morality.”— Publishers Weekly

Ines is convinced that every wife is bound to be betrayed one day, so she is not surprised to fi nd a note in her husband Ernesto’s briefcase with a heart smeared in lipstick crossed by the words “All Yours” and signed, “Your true love.”

She follows him to a park on a rainy winter evening and witnesses a violent quarrel he has with another woman. The woman collapses; Ernesto sinks her body in a nearby lake. When Ernesto becomes a suspect in the case she pro-vides him with an alibi. After all, hatred can bring people together as urgently as love. But Ernesto cannot bring his sexual adventures to an end, so Ines concocts a plan for revenge from which there is no return.

Claudia Piñeiro , formerly a journalist and playwright, is the author of liter-ary crime novels that are all bestsellers in Latin America and have been trans-lated into six languages. All Yours follows on the success of Thursday Night Widows , published in 2010 in the United States.

Set in Italy during World War II, a German army offi cer investigates the murder of a local Italian fascist amid the horrors of a brutal regime.

Praise for Ben Pastor’s Lumen:

“Pastor’s plot is well crafted, her prose sharp. . . . A disturbing mix of detec-tion and refl ection.”— Publishers Weekly

“Rivets the reader with its twist of historical realities. A historical piece, it faithfully reproduces the grim canvas of war. A character study, it captures the thoughts and actions of real people, not stereotypes.”— The Free Lance-Star

“And don’t miss Lumen by Ben Pastor. . . . An interesting, original, and mel-ancholy tale.”— Literary Review

Italy, September 1943. The Italian government switches sides and declares war on Germany. The north of Italy is controlled by the fascist puppets of Germany; the south liberated by Allied forces fi ghting their way up the peninsula.

Having survived hell on the Russian front, Wehrmacht major and aristo-crat Baron Martin von Bora is sent to Verona. He is ordered to investigate the murder of a prominent local fascist: a bizarre death threatening to dis-credit the regime’s public image. The prime suspect is the victim’s twenty-eight-year-old widow Clara.

Haunted by his record of opposition to SS policies in Russia, Bora must watch his step. Against the backdrop of relentless anti-partisan warfare and the tragedy of the Holocaust, a breathless chase begins.

Ben Pastor , born and now back in Italy, lived for thirty years in the United States, working as a university professor in Vermont. The fi rst in the Martin Bora series, Lumen , was published by Bitter Lemon Press in May 2011.

Black Balloon PublishingBrooklyn, New York

Black Balloon books are risky but not gimmicky, whimsical but never light, intelligent but not precious. We cater to writers who kick conventions curbside, who provoke without sentiment, who make the despicable somehow appealing. We’re in the feeling business. We want jaws dropping, stomachs twisting, eyes brimming. We’re out to horrify and delight, to unleash linguistic elegance that matters.

We cross genres willy-nilly—epic memoirs, stripped of psychology, then fi ctionalized. Food and music expressed in song. Cities profi led with bizarre personalities. Tragedies crafted from a roll call of jokes. We break and build forms, invent new languages, fi nd beauty in violence, humor in paralysis. We’re hyper, happy, and, yes, a bit sick.

We are small, on purpose—two to six books year. Every author enjoys the benefi ts of a personalized publicist, customized sales strategy, interactive websites, book trailers, and all the vanguard media tools available. We’re out to sell books, to verbally seduce—not to make obscure literary statements.

Our commitment to supporting authors extends to eBooks, phone apps, vooks, and interactive collages. We are not Luddites. If folks prefer visual aids—maps of brains, architectural blueprints, animated creatures swinging from jungle gyms—we’re not ones to withhold. We’re just happy people are reading.

As people live longer, we face the challenges that come with caring for, and living as, an aging population. This collection focuses on the sad, funny, mundane reality of life in a nursing home. In her own words, Janice N.

I haven’t forgotten what I saw, heard, felt, or learned.”

The Paris Review has published a dozen poems from this leading Danish poet’s surreal, harrowing prose poetry collection.

“These poems do much more than blur the line between illusion and reality: they evoke that vibrant contradiction of dreaming in which the real and unreal exist in perfect simultaneity.”— The Georgia Review

Theatre

A man performs whole days from his life as a drama, each day at home in his apartment. He goes to great lengths to be as realistic as possible, walking around the apartment and tending to day-to-day business. Only at night, when he sits by himself in the kitchen, does he peek now and then at the win-dow to glimpse his audience. He won’t completely abandon the notion that someone is out there. It’s like when you stand on the landing, in front of a closed door, and you can’t help thinking that some-one is watching through the peephole.

With a dozen poems previously published in The Paris Review , Carsten René Nielsen is already a familiar name to US poetry readers. These dark prose poems— reminiscent of Charles Simic—map out a uniquely European terri-tory with chilling, cinematic clarity.

Award-winning Danish poet Carsten René Nielsen is the author of nine books of poetry, including his US debut The World Cut Out with Crooked Scissors (2007). His poems appear in The Paris Review , Agni , Circumference , Mid-American Review , Mississippi Review , and elsewhere. He lives in Aarhus, Denmark.

David Keplinger ’s poetry awards include the Colorado Book Award, T.S. Eliot Prize, an NEA fellowship, and grants from the Danish Arts Council. He directs the MFA program at American University in Washington, DC.

This is the story of what it takes for young Americans to make it in profes-sional cycling. Only thirty-six Americans have competed in the Tour de France since the world’s greatest bicycle race began in 1903. That’s not too many more than the twelve Americans who have walked on the moon. It’s far fewer than the more than 340 Americans who, as of 2006, had reached the summit of Mount Everest.

For an American cyclist to break into professional European cycling and reach the Tour de France is to scale a lofty mountain and venture into a strange new world. But rising stars such as Lawson Craddock of Texas, Ben King of Virginia, Taylor Phinney of Colorado, Cole House of Wisconsin, and Tyler Farrar of Washington State are doing just that as they endure crashes, cold rain, cobblestones, crosswinds, and culture shock on their road to cycling stardom.

This is the story of the next generation—of riders not yet tainted by drug scandals, of riders still bursting with hope and potential. This is the story American cycling fans need right now.

The cult classic ultramarathon book now available to the trade.

“It won’t matter whether or not you’ve attempted an ultra, or whether or not you even dream of one. If you enjoy running and reading, you’ll want this book.”—David Meyers, Running Journal

The best writers in the sport of running describe the last frontier of long- distance events: races longer than a marathon.

James Shapiro begins by relating with heart-rending detail his experiences in a six-day race in “Swifts on the Wing.” In “To the Limit and Beyond,” Kenny Moore takes you through the Great Hawaiian Footrace, a horrendous six-day ordeal that seemingly changes his life. Don Kardong, one of the wit-tiest and most personable writers in the sport, in “Le Grizz” goes the fi fty-mile distance at the infamous race. Ed Ayres, former editor of Running Times , takes on the Western States 100 in “Wings of Icarus,” and the event turns out to be a kind of catharsis in his life. In “Road Warriors,” Hal Higdon’s report on his group’s attempt to run across the state of Indiana is a lighthearted, self- imposed challenge that turns into a spiritual odyssey. Tom Hart attempts to run a solo thirty-seven-miler on his thirty-seventh birthday, which reveals that an ultra is more than a feat of endurance, it is a journey into self. John L. Parker, Jr. ends with “And Then the Vulture Eats You,” an uproarious analy-sis of ultra runners.

A book for all ultra runners, and for curious “normal” runners.

eBook ISBN: 978-0-934971-27-0 The true story of one woman’s survival of infl ammatory breast cancer written in moving, profoundly humorous, and beautifully expressive prose.

“Katherine Malmo has written an unfl inching, unsentimental, profoundly moving, wickedly funny . . . deeply courageous book detailing one woman’s diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from infl ammatory breast cancer. . . . [She has] the power to reconnect us to that part of ourselves . . . that gritty, hu-mored, resilient, unspeakably beautiful spark in the center of each of us that knows only how to lock its jaws and hang on.”—Pam Houston

Based on autobiographic experiences, Who in This Room is a gripping collection of creative nonfi ction that pushes the boundaries of story and memoir. Kate’s adventurous life is interrupted by a diagnosis of infl ammatory breast cancer, giving her a ten percent chance of living fi ve years. But her story isn’t just about cancer. It is a true tale of survival that is both lived and dreamt. It’s about joy found in lemon trees or fl y-fi shing. It’s about the survival instinct that helps us re-emerge and engage with the world.

In 2005 author Katherine Malmo was diagnosed with infl ammatory breast can-cer. She underwent twenty-seven weekly chemotherapy treatments, a bi lateral mastectomy, and six weeks of radiation with support from family, friends, and the Young Survivor Coalition. Now a fi ve-year survivor, Katherine is the win-ner of the Bellevue Literary Review’s 2009 Goldberg Prize for the chapter “Made of Metal” from Who in This Room .

Released in 1976, Brian DePalma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie was marketed as a low-budget schlock fi lm that garnered two Academy Award nominations and has become a much-studied and much-imitated classic. Joe Aisenberg’s dissection of Carrie is, amazingly, the fi rst book-length criti-cal study on this fi lm ever released. In fact, so little has been written on Carriein a critical fashion that Joe found, to his delight and horror, that he had the fi eld pretty much all to himself. He has conducted new interviews with Brian DePalma, screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen, and cast members, including cult legend P.J. Soles, with an in-depth analysis of plot and infl uence.

This massive new book on The Exorcist covers every aspect

of production, with interviews and essays on all the sequels.

The fi rst comprehensive look at Japan’s otaku collectors, including peeks inside their rooms and visits to their favorite stores.

Otaku —nerd, über-fan, obsessive collector. Since the 1980s, the term has been used to refer to fans of Japanese anime, manga, and video games. The word appeared with no translation on the cover of the premier issue of Wired maga-zine in 1993.

Patrick W. Galbraith has produced a groundbreaking work of reportage that takes us beyond the stereotypes of “weird Japan” and into the private rooms of self-described otaku . Interviews and more than fi fty color photos re-veal a seldom seen side of these reclusive Japanese collectors. They talk frankly about their collections of blow-up dolls, comic books, military parapherna-lia, anime videos, and more.

Galbraith follows the collectors to their favorite shops and shows how pub-lic space in Japan is starting to mimic the look and feel of the otaku ’s private room. He also interviews Japan’s top cultural critics, helping to place otaku culture in wider sociological and economic contexts. Galbraith broadens his interview focus even further to include otaku from the United States and the United Kingdom, forcing those of us who live in any hyper-consumerist cul-ture to admit that we can and do have otaku tendencies.

Patrick W. Galbraith —a self-described otaku with the anime tattoos to prove it—is a PhD student at the University of Tokyo and the author of The Otaku Encyclopedia (Kodansha Limited). He also blogs at the popular Otaku2 and is widely considered one of the foremost American experts on Japan’s pop culture.

From a Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner writing in the tradition of Larry McMurtry comes an epic tale spanning

Yankee America to the Díaz regime in Mexico .

“The novels of James Carlos Blake are reminiscent of Larry McMurtry’s Western novels—only harsher and bloodier. Like Lonesome Dove’s creator, Blake favors straight-talking, unschooled narrators who speak in a vivid, salty vernacular, and his fi ction is so readable—so folksy, action-packed, and earthy—it’s easy to miss the fact that it is also, frequently, brilliant.”— Entertainment Weekly

James Carlos Blake is a master at weaving historical fact into fi ction. Two gener-ations of Wolfe men—begat by an English pirate in New Hampshire in 1828—track their vio lent but manifest destiny through the Díaz regime in Mexico in the early 1800s and back to Gulf Coast Texas. The novel centers on two sets of identical “hero twins,” each with a violent history that mirrors the author’s belief in the primacy of violence in the evolution of civilization. Their lives are inter twined with important events through the history of Mexico, be-ginning in the 1820s. Crucial are the histories of the infamous Saint Patrick’s Battalion (revered in Mexico as “los San Patricios”) who deserted the US Army during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848) and the rise and fall of the Porfi rio Díaz regime (1876–1910), which marked the beginning of the Mexican Revolution.

James Carlos Blake was born in Tampico, Mexico, and grew up in Brownsville, Texas, and Florida. He is the author of nine novels and a collection of short stories. His novel In Rogue Blood won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for fi ction in 1997. Country of Bad Wolfes is a semi-autobiographical novel.

A prose poem written in dictionary form, My Marriage A to Z is a unique chronicle of life within a marriage .

You can put this little book by your bed, in the bathroom, in your pocket or purse, wherever it’s easily at hand so you can consider the bits and pieces of your relationship with your own beloved. The A to Z of this big city romance is like a foamy broth of koans, coff ee, smiles, and aspirin. It can cure a head-ache and sweeten the heart, and the moral of the story is you can do it your-self. The illustrations by Sophy Naess, like the work of Maira Kalman, reveal one last ingredient of Elinor Nauen’s gumbo—quirky joy. Take for instance:

Beginning, in the. One day in 1983, I told my friend I was unable to read any-thing but the tabloids. “Are you in love?” she said.

Sex. I wonder what he thinks about when we make love. One time last week I started thinking about what socks I was going to wear the next day, but usually I only think about him. I mean, I don’t even really think, I think.

Zaftig. This Yiddish word means deliciously plump and juicy, with a conno-tation of, well, stacked. A dish, in other words, which is probably Y Johnny married me (See Sex ).

Elinor Nauen , a poet and journalist, usually focuses her work on cars and baseball and Johnny, her beloved. She lives in New York City where she hangs out at the Poetry Project, the local synagogue, and Yankee Stadium when she can aff ord the tickets.

A ground-breaking anthology that will bring fresh understanding to the American experience of poetry, beauty, the body, and disability.

“We share roots, and many stories, but our diff erent twang, our own breath animates these stories, making them sing as they are compressed against our specifi c bodies. ‘Going home’—who does not long for connection, location, a place? I want foreigners to see how our country lies and fi nd familiar living tales, sung with a diff erent melody.”—Petra Kuppers

From “Beauty and Variations” by Kenny Fries:

How else can I quench this thirst? My lipstravel down your spine, drink the smoothnessof your skin. I am searching for the core:What is beautiful? Who decides? Can the lawsof nature be defi ed? Your body tells me: comeclose. But beauty distances even as it drawsme near. What does my body want from yours?My twisted legs around your neck. You bendme back. Even though you can’t give the bonesat birth I wasn’t given, I let you deep inside.You give me—what? Peeling back my skin, youexpose my missing bones. And my heart, longbefore you came, just as broken. I don’t know whoto blame. So each night, naked on the bed, my bodydoesn’t want repair, but longs for innocence. Ifinnocent, despite the fl aws I wear, I am beautiful.

Tim Wise addresses whites’ anxiety about cultural shifts displacing their power and privilege and offers ideas on how to move forward.

“Sparing neither family nor self . . . he considers how the deck has always been stacked in his and other white people’s favor. . . . His candor is invigorating.”— Publishers Weekly

“One of the most brilliant, articulate and courageous critics of white privilege in the nation.”—Michael Eric Dyson

The old notion that “being white means never having to think about it” is being challenged on all fronts as whites are increasingly having to wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, culturally diverse nation. In Dear White America Tim Wise directly addresses white people’s growing concerns about political, cultural, and community-level shifts displacing their power and privilege. Wise examines the perfect storm of events fueling white anxiety: the election of a black president, economic insecurity at a level unseen by whites as a group in seventy-fi ve years, a popular culture that refl ects the na-tion’s growing multicultural reality, and demographic shifts that make it in-creasingly diffi cult for whites—who have long been able to see themselves as the prototypical American—to continue to view themselves as the norm. Through stories, anecdotes, and analysis, Wise taps current trends and addresses how to move forward as a unifi ed, diverse, and vibrant democracy.

Tim Wise is one of the most prominent antiracist essayists, educators, and ac-tivists in the United States. He is regularly interviewed by A-list media, in-cluding CNN, C-SPAN, The Tavis Smiley Show , The Tom Joyner Morning Show , Michael Eric Dyson’s radio program, and many more.

The Obama presidency represents a major milestone in black history and the struggle for political, economic, and cultural equality in the United States. But how—if at all—has the fi rst black presidency helped move things for-ward for people of color? Has it delivered the “change we can believe in” and “deepen ing of democracy” that communities of color organized around? What lessons from past struggles can be applied to this unique historical mo-ment to advance multicultural democracy in the United States? To explore these questions, BBC journalist Joanne Griffi th interviews black intellectuals, leaders, and activists and holds roundtable discussions in several communi-ties around the country. The result is a rich and wide-ranging exploration of the hot- button issues facing African Americans today, from religion and law to education, the economy, and the ever-shifting meaning of Barack Obama’s contribution and impact. Both timely and rich in personal wisdom, Redefi ning Black Power connects the dots between past civil rights struggles and future of black civic and cultural life in the United States.

Joanne Griffi th is an award-winning broadcast journalist who has reported, produced, and hosted programs for the British Broadcasting Corporation, National Public Radio, and Pacifi ca Radio. Joanne has spent her fi fteen-year career telling the stories of tragedy and triumph throughout the African Diaspora, covering voting rights in the United States, the legacy of slavery in the Caribbean, and the politics of food and power in southern Africa.

Why anti-Muslim sentiment is on the rise in the United States and Europe, and what can be done to stop it.

In his offi cial response to the attacks of September 11, George W. Bush invoked the Crusades, tapping into a centuries-long history of fear and aggression. The West’s longstanding perception of Islam as a threat has taken on new and more complex implications in the twenty-fi rst century, as years of migration and resulting demographic shifts have brought the “enemy” within Western borders. Virulent opposition to the planned construction of an Islamic cen-ter near the 9/11 attack site in New York City reveals much about the intensity of public sentiments simmering just below the surface. As the United States and countries across Europe struggle with a resurgence of unexamined fear and antagonism, often directed against their own citizens, the imperative for better understanding could not be greater.

Crusade 2.0 examines the resurgence of anti-Islamic sentiment in the West and its global implications. John Feff er discusses the infl uence of three “un-fi nished wars”—the Crusades, the Cold War, and the current “war on terror.” He presents a timely, concise, and provocative look at current events in the context of historical trends and goes beyond a “clash of civilizations” critique to off er concrete ways to defuse the ticking bomb of Islamophobia.

John Feff er is co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC. He is the author of several books, including North Korea, South Korea . His essays have been published in The New York Times , The Boston Globe , and elsewhere; he has been interviewed by CNN, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, Democracy Now! and other international news media.

A God whose powers are reduced to petty acts of destruction attempts to reclaim his lost seat in the heavens.

Praise for Ben Ehrenreich’s fi rst novel The Suitors :

“Smart and postmodern in a puckish, Calvino-like sense. . . . Ehrenreich writes with an ease and pure line-by-line skill that’s rare.”— The New York Times Book Review

“Ehrenreich blends Tom Robbins’ sly humor with Steve Erickson’s bubbling sense of the subconscious and Voltaire’s irreverent twists of plot.”— Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Ehrenreich shows the stirrings of an original talent.”— Publishers Weekly

“Brilliant, and at the same time moving. It’s a relief to know that literature ex-ists yet.”—Juan Goytisolo

A bearded man in a badly soiled suit known only as The Stranger wanders an apocalyptic landscape on the fringes of a dying metropolis, looking for a way to “get back on top.” Thwarted and rejected at every turn by old friends and strangers alike—even by the author of this novel, whom he visits repeatedly in unsuccessful attempts to determine his own narrative—his impotence and rage are expressed in acts of seemingly senseless violence. The various characters he encounters on his journey—a pack of sadistic boys, skinheads who beat him senseless, a deaf-mute woman who tries to heal him, a sidewalk preacher, and a deranged man who identifi es him as The One—avoid or abuse him, or at-tempt to follow him.

Entertaining, disturbing, and wildly intelligent, written with sinister humor and great compassion, Ether refl ects on the possibilities and consequences of forgiveness, the problems of faith, and the trials of creation.

Ben Ehrenreich is an award-winning journalist and fi ction writer. Ether is his second novel.

A Paperback Original City Lights Noir 5¼ x 8 | 224 pp


eBook ISBN: 978-0-87286-549-5 USC World-famous musician Ry Cooder publishes his fi rst collection of

stories, with a nod to Raymond Chandler and Nathanael West.

Los Angeles Stories is a collection of loosely linked, noir-ish tales that evoke a by-gone era in one of America’s most iconic cities. In post-World War II Los Angeles, as power was concentrating and fortunes were being made, a do-it-yourself culture of cool cats, outsiders, and oddballs populated the old down-town neighborhoods of Bunker Hill and Chavez Ravine. Ordinary working folks rubbed elbows with petty criminals, grifters, and all sorts of women at foggy end-of-the-line outposts in Venice Beach and Santa Monica.

Rich with the essence and character of the times, suff used with the pa-tois of the city’s underclass, these are stories about the common people of Los Angeles, “a sunny place for shady people,” and the strange things that happen to them. Musicians, gun shop owners, streetwalkers, tailors, door-to-door salesmen, drifters, housewives, dentists, pornographers, new arrivals, and hard-bitten denizens all intersect in cleverly plotted stories that center around some kind of shadowy activity. This quirky love letter to a lost way of life will appeal to fans of hard-boiled fi ction and anyone interested in the city itself.

Ry Cooder is a world-famous guitarist, singer, and composer known for his slide guitar work, interest in roots music, and more recently for his collabo-rations with traditional musicians from many countries, including The Buena Vista Social Club. He has composed soundtracks for more than twenty fi lms, including Paris, Texas . Two recent albums were accompanied by stories Cooder wrote to accompany the music. This is his fi rst published collection of stories.

In this sequel to his most famous book, More Notes of a Dirty Old Man reprints rare Charles Bukowski columns unseen in decades.

After toiling in obscurity for years, Charles Bukowski suddenly found fame in 1967 with his autobiographical newspaper column, “Notes of a Dirty Old Man,” and a book of that name in 1969. He continued writing this column, in one form or another, through the mid-1980s. More Notes of a Dirty Old Man gath-ers many uncollected gems from the column’s twenty-year run. Drawn from ephemeral underground publications, these stories and essays haven’t been seen in decades, making More a valuable addition to Bukowski’s oeuvre. Filled with his usual obsessions—sex, booze, gambling— More features Bukowski’s off beat insights into politics and literature, his tortured, violent relation-ships with women, and his lurid escapades on the poetry reading circuit. Highlighting his versatility, the book ranges from thinly veiled auto biography to purely fi ctional tales of dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians, and down-and-out sports promoters, climaxing with a long, hilarious adven-ture among French fi lmmakers, “My Friend the Gambler,” based on his expe-riences making the movie Barfl y . From his lowly days at the post offi ce through his later literary fame, More follows the entire arc of Bukowski’s colorful career.

Edited by Bukowski scholar David Stephen Calonne, More Notes of a Dirty Old Man features an afterword outlining the history of the column and its eff ect on the author’s creative development.

Born in Andernach, Germany in 1920, Charles Bukowski came to California at age three and spent most of his life in Los Angeles. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994.

Coach House BooksOntario, Canada

There’s a laneway in downtown Toronto named after a poet: bpNichol Lane. Tucked away on that back alley is a crumbling old garage—a coach house—and inside it are two Heidelberg printing presses, an Autominabinda binder, and a big guillotine-like cutter. Passing through those machines is a gorgeous, antique-colored laid paper called Zephyr. And on that paper sits some of the most intriguing lines and sentences you’ll ever encounter.

“To say that Coach House ‘publishes’ books would be to diminish the magic of what really happens within the old brick walls on bpNichol Lane,” says The Globe and Mail of our publishing program. It’s true. Our books are handsome, but they’ve got personality and wit too—they are, like our building, a little off the beaten path: innovative poetry, brazen fi ction, provocative nonfi ction.

Every one of our books is a little portable piece of bpNichol Lane’s magic. For a taste, try out Christian Bök’s bestselling, Griffi n Prize–winning Eunoia, or a New York Times’ Top 100 selection, Lisa Robertson’s Magenta Soul Whip. Or the internationally acclaimed All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman. Or My Winnipeg, by visionary fi lmmaker Guy Maddin. We’ve got a swath of award nominations to our name—Griffi ns, Trilliums, Commonwealths, Lambdas, and more—and a stockpile of laudatory press, like NewPages’ claim that our books off er “a reason to read. A reason to write. A reason to believe in poetry.” Heck, Bookforum called us “the most esteemed literary house in Canada.” But we don’t let it go to our heads; we, and our Heidelbergs, just keep on beavering away in our little coach house to bring you the most unexpected, delicious, carnival-ride-like books we can fi nd.

Unicorns, Ethiopian food, a Wonder Woman drag queen: Monoceros offers a funny, heartbreaking look at the tragedy of

teen suicide and the timely topic of bullying.

Praise for Suzette Mayr:

“Venous Hum never fails to impress. Brash, macabre, and irreverent, it’s the kind of story you want to hear from a latter-day Scheherazade: so intoxicating you crave more.”—Vancouver Sun

A seventeen-year-old boy, bullied and heartbroken, hangs himself. And al-though he felt terribly alone, his suicide changes everyone around him.

His parents are devastated. His secret boyfriend’s girlfriend is relieved. His unicorn- and virginity-obsessed classmate Faraday is shattered; she wishes she had made friends with him that time she sold him an iced cappuccino at Tim Hortons. His English teacher, mid-divorce and mid-menopause, wishes she could remember the dead student’s name, that she could care more about her students than her ex’s new girlfriend. Who happens to be her cousin. The school guidance counselor Walter feels guilty—maybe he should have made an eff ort when the kid asked for help. Max, the principal, is worried about how it will refl ect on the school. Walter, who’s secretly been in a relationship with Max for years, thinks that’s a little callous. He’s also tired of Max’s obsession with some sci-fi show on TV. And Max wishes Walter would lose some weight and remember to use a coaster.

And then Max meets a drag queen named Crêpe Suzette. And everything changes.

Suzette Mayr is the author of three previous novels: Moon Honey , The Widows , and Venous Hum . The Widows was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book in the Canada-Caribbean region, and has been trans-lated into German. Moon Honey was shortlisted for the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction and the Henry Kreisel Award for Best First Book. Mayr lives and works in Calgary, Alberta.

An argument over a black rose begins this mischievous novel about anarchism, fi re-breathing, murder, money, backhoe wars, and family secrets.

Praise for Sean Dixon:

“Energetic. . . . Full of sound and fury.”—Kirkus Review

“Reminiscent of the kind of irrepressibly mischievous and literary novels that John Barth used to write. Call it populist poindexterism.”—Quill & Quire

It all started with a black rose and a rich young man. And a house with a creek running through it. And then there she was, Kip Flynn, standing beside her boyfriend’s dead body and agreeing to take a large sum of money from the young man’s father to keep quiet. As if she could have done anything else, being so scared and grief-stricken and maybe pregnant.

But that’s not the end of it. You see, there’s some kind of connection be-tween Kip and this rich developer’s son that keeps them tight in one another’s orbit. So when Kip awakens from her grief, intent on revenge, they fi nd themselves pursuing one another with a ferocity they can barely understand, one that spirals outward, with subway accidents and arson and drainpipes and backhoe wars, to envelop roommates, two guilty fathers, a window-cleaner or two, landlords, family secrets, a Vietnamese gangster, a stand-up bass player and an activist tour guide. And concluding in the subterranean heart of Toronto itself, which, like Kip, is torn between vengefulness and growth.

Sean Dixon is a novelist, playwright, and banjo player. He’s the author of the novel The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal ; two novels for young readers, The Feathered Cloak and The Winter Drey ; and several plays, including those collected in AWOL: Three Plays for Theatre SKAM .

“McGimpsey displays erudition, clever insights and a knack for the wickedly funny wisecrack.”— The Washington Post

Melding the deeply personal and the culturally popular, Li’l Bastard is confes-sional poetry as written by a chronic trickster and a committed liar. Written in part as an homage to John Berryman and Robert Lowell, this sequence of sixteen-line poems—“chubby sonnets”—explores the poet’s obsessions (food, aging, baseball, beer, and Barnaby Jones ) and map his midlife crisis on a wild fl ight through Montreal, Chicago, Nashville, Texas, and Los Angeles. Poignant and often achingly funny, Li’l Bastard will cement David McGimpsey’s status as a beloved original.

David McGimpsey is the author of four acclaimed collections of poetry, in-cluding Lardcake and Sitcom . He teaches at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec.

Poetry and science: twin arts separated at birth? Leigh Kotsilidis' debut puts the

scientifi c method’s feet to the fi re. Author Hometown: Montreal, QC

POETRY January


Trade Paper US $16.95 978-1-55245-249-3 US

Science is a useful metaphor for understanding our lives, but it is often shown to be as fallible as the fl awed humans who lean on it. This lively, thoughtful, and refreshingly speculative debut collection turns scientifi c method around to question science’s faith in certainty, exploring the alternate meaning of “hypothetical” as something that is merely “supposed to be true.” Under the poet’s wide-angled, open-hearted gaze, scientifi c investigation begins to mir-ror the dark art of poetry, reinforcing what we believe about ourselves one minute, then abruptly throwing everything into question.

Leigh Kotsilidis lives in Montreal, Quebec, where she works as a freelance graphic designer while completing her MFA in studio arts.

It ain’t easy being green: Croak is a poetic negotiation between

a species in crisis and its many cultural markers.

Croak is a frog-and-girl opera in three parts, played out like a YouTube mashup of mid-century cartoons set to a contemporary pop song. It parades, muti-lates, and reacquaints Kermit the Frog with Girl 00010111, Michigan J. Frog with Aristophanes, and biblical plagues with caged canaries in a vaudevillian play of time, culture, gender, and narrative. Combining vivisection and classical literature, empirical observation and philosophical speculation, Jenny Sampirisi’s grotesque characters splash and sparkle before moving toward their inevitable narrative end.

Jenny Sampirisi is the managing editor of BookThug and co-director of the Toronto New School of Writing. She is the author of the novel is/was .

The Brave Never Write Poetry Daniel Jones

First published in 1985, The Brave Never Write Poetry , the lone collection of poems by critic/novelist Daniel Jones (1959–1994), was a cult hit. Written in a di-rect, plainspoken, autobiographical, and at times confessional style in the tra-dition of Charles Bukowski and Al Purdy, these confrontational poems about sex and boredom, drugs and suicide, document Jones’ depressive, alcoholic years as an enfant terrible .

A Complete Encyclopedia of Diff erent Types of People is not your average reference book. It turns a series of sociological case studies into a functional encyclopedia that doubles as an achingly funny collection of poems. “Bridesmaids,” “Day Traders,” and “Number Crunchers” are all dutifully cataloged in a series of lu-minously strange, compellingly original lyric and prose poems.

EunoiaChristian Bök

Longlisted for the 2010 Scotiabank Giller Prize, Lemon is the story of a teen-aged girl with the numbers against her: three mothers, one deadbeat dad, one cancer-riddled protege, two friends, one tree-hugging stepbrother and a sixty percent average. The adults in her life are all mired in self-centeredness and the other kids are busy getting high, and she just can’t be bothered to fi t in.

Winner of the Griffi n Poetry Prize.

“Jaw-droppingly powerful, a mythology of sound.”—Publishers Weekly

“Eunoia,” which means “beautiful thinking,” is the shortest English word to contain all fi ve vowels. Each chapter of Eunoia is a univocal lipogram—the fi rst chapter has A as its only vowel, the second chapter E, etc. Stunning in its im-plications and masterful in its execution, Eunoia has developed a cult following.

When the iconoclastic auteur of The Saddest Music in the World decided to tackle the subject of his hometown, it could only have become a “docufantasia,” a mé-lange of personal history, civic history, and mystical hypothesizing. This book companion includes the text of his narration wantonly annotated with an ava-lanche of marginal digressions, stills, outtakes, family photos, e-mails, essays, deoculations, animations, notebook pages, collages.

From the best-selling, award-winning author of Firmin—a widow tells her side of the story.

“Sam Savage has become one of America’s funniest, cleverest, and most vital writers of fi ction.”—Michael Schaub, Bookslut

Tasked with writing a preface to a reissue of her late husband’s long-out-of-print novel, Edna is unexpectedly asked to take care of a vacationing neigh-bor’s pet rat, fi sh, and potted plants. Sitting at her typewriter day after day, Edna becomes lost in a Proustian marathon of introspection, mixing philo-sophical refl ection and humor with minute accounts of her daily life. What unfolds, as if by accident, is the story of a marriage and a portrait of a mind pushed to its limits by the emptiness of the hours and the pain of memory.

The reader is never certain if Edna’s preface is an homage to her late hus-band or an act of belated revenge. Is she the cultured victim of a crass and bru-tally ambitious husband, or is Edna neurotic and delusional?

The unforgettable characters in Sam Savage’s two previous hit novels Firminand The Cry of the Sloth garnered worldwide critical acclaim. In Edna, once again Savage has created a character marked by contradiction—simultaneously appealing and exasperating, comical and tragic.

Sam Savage is the best-selling author of Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlifeand The Cry of the Sloth. A fi nalist for the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award, Savage holds a PhD in philosophy from Yale University and resides in Madison, Wisconsin.

FICTION September



Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and his relationship to art. Instead of following the dictates of his fellowship, Adam’s “research” becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in the arts and beyond: are his relationships with the people he meets in Spain as fraudulent as he fears his poems are? Is poetry an essential art form, or is it merely a projection of our desired interpretations? A witness to the 2004 Madrid train bombings and their aftermath, does he participate in historic events or merely watch them pass him by?

In prose that veers between the comic and tragic, the self-contemptuous and the inspired, Leaving the Atocha Station is a portrait of the artist as a young man in an age of Google searches, pharmaceuticals, and spectacle.

Born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979, Ben Lerner holds a BA in political sci-ence and an MFA in creative writing from Brown University and teaches at Brooklyn College. The author of three books of poetry, The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw, and Mean Free Path, Lerner has been a fi nalist for the National Book Award and the Northern California Book Award and was a Fulbright Scholar in Spain. Leaving the Atocha Station is his fi rst novel.

Leaving the Atocha Station Ben Lerner

From a National Book Award fi nalist, this hilarious and profound fi rst novel captures the experience of the young American abroad.

Sisters Lark and Clef have spent their lives honing their bodies for sleight, an interdisciplinary art form that combines elements of dance, architecture, acrobatics, and spoken word. After being estranged for several years, the sis-ters are reunited by a deceptive and ambitious sleight troupe director named West who needs the sisters’ opposing approaches to the form—Lark is tor-mented and fragile, but a prodigy; Clef is driven to excel, but lacks the spark of artistic genius.

When a disturbing mass murder makes national headlines, West seizes on the event as inspiration for his new performance, one that threatens to destroy the very artists performing it.

In language that is at once unsettling and hypnotic, Sleight explores ideas of performance, gender, and family to ask the question: what is the role of art in the face of unthinkable tragedy?

Kirsten Kaschock has earned degrees from Yale University, the University of Iowa, Syracuse University, and the University of Georgia. The author of two collections of poetry, Unfathoms and A Beautiful Name for a Girl , she resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she is currently a doctoral fellow in dance at Temple University.

Award-winning poet, Hollywood author, and Miles Davis confi dante Quincy Troupe evokes a sheer love of invention.

“Troupe is an innovator of form and tone who shifts quickly from a lofty, ele-giac mode into burlesque or smoky, jazzed-down pop phraseology.”—Publishers Weekly

“Troupe’s poems are exuberant and passionate outpourings with driving, syn-copated rhythms and improvisatory riff s of colorful language.”—Star Tribune

Coined with the French word errance (to wander) in mind, these poems rove from ancient Yoruba to the streets of Harlem to the tropical heat of Guadeloupe and emerge with a new vocabulary for the transformations of the physical, phil-osophical, and musical worlds. Known for his long, lyrical narrative poems and invocation of the oral tradition, Quincy Troupe captures the histories and deaths of Michael Jackson and Miles Davis, celebrating both their accomplish-ments and contradictions. This collection embraces the improvisation of a soul as it off ers a paean to the possibilities of poetry.

The author of eight volumes of poetry, Quincy Troupe has also collaborated with Chris Gardner on The Pursuit of Happyness, which was made into a major motion picture, and with Miles Davis on Miles: The Autobiography. His friendship with Miles Davis is chronicled in Miles and Me. Troupe has also recently pub-lished children’s books on Magic Johnson and Stevie Wonder. He divides his time between New York and a countryside village in Guadeloupe.

Throughout his career, Paolo Pellegrin received innumerable international prizes and awards that are indicative of how the strength and intelligence of his works can live through time as parts of a greater, coherent, and univer-sal picture.

Pellegrin represents a new generation of photographers aware of the mod-ern means of production and distribution of images at their disposal. They off er a new way to look at the facts they document, always maintaining their ethics in the form and methods of their job.

Pellegrin always uses a metaphor to speak about his job: photography to him is like a language we wish to learn; an unfamiliar language, perhaps of an unknown stock, whose mystery fascinates and draws us towards it. Little by little the mystery reveals its features, allowing those who work with it (the pho-tographers) to use it as a prop to tell stories. Pellegrin has narrated many of them. At times these stories were harsh, even tragic, and spoke of war, deten-tion, and natural disasters. He approached each and every one of them with-out judging, following with his eyes what was happening around him in order to interpret it in the light of his extensive experience as a journalist.

Jim Harrison’s compelling and provocative Songs of Unreason explores what it means to inhabit the world in atavistic, primitive, and totemistic ways. “This can be disturbing to the learned,” Harrison admits. Using inter-connected suites, brief lyrics, and rollicking narratives, Harrison’s passions and concerns—creeks, thickets, time’s eff ervescence, familial love—emerge by turns painful and celebratory, localized and exiled.

From “Broom”:

To remember that you’re alivevisit the cemetery of your fatherat noon after you’ve made loveand are still wrapped in a mammalianodor that you are forced to cherish.Under each stone is someone’s inevitablesurprise, the unexpected deathof their biology that struggled hard as it must.Now go home without looking backat the fading cemetery, enough is enough,but stop on the way to buy the best wineyou can aff ord and a dozen stiff brooms.Have a few swallows then throw the furnitureout the window and begin sweeping . . .

Jim Harrison , one of America’s most versatile and celebrated writers, is the author of over thirty books of poetry, fi ction, and nonfi ction—including Legends of the Fall , Dalva , and The Shape of the Journey .

“Something Hayden Carruth does as well as any writer is to treat the reader as a friend, and to provide, through his poetry, hours of good company.”— The New York Times Book Review

“One of the lasting literary signatures of our time.”— Library Journal , starred review

“Carruth, like Whitman, like Chaucer, is large—he contains multitudes. Dip into his work anywhere, and there is life—and death—as stirringly felt and cogi tated as in some vast, Tolstoyan novel.”— Booklist , starred review

Hayden Carruth’s Last Poems is a triumph—a morally engaged, tender, and fear-less volume that combines the last poems of his life with the concluding poems from each of his previous volumes. Introduced by Stephen Dobyns, Last Poems is a moving tribute to a towering and beloved fi gure in American poetry.

From “Father’s Day”:

I don’t know what fathers areSupposed to do, although the calendar saysThis is “Father’s Day.” But the day is gloomyAnd not at all conducive to visiting orCelebrating. I know the best thing fathers inTheir prime can do is to make daughters andMore daughters; we can never have enough.Daughters are our best protection againstLoneliness and the absurd atrocities ofForeign policy . . .

Hayden Carruth (1921–2008) lived for many years in northern Vermont, then moved to upstate New York, where he taught at Syracuse University. He won the National Book Award for Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey , and his Collected Shorter Poems received the National Book Critics Circle Award.

In her signature style, Wright inter-weaves oral histories, hymns, lists, interviews, newspaper accounts, and personal memories—especially those of her incandescent mentor, Mrs. Vittitow—with the voices of witnesses, neighbors, police, and activists. This history leaps howling off the page.

“Tiger Tracks”

Red Pine’s commentary: “The Chinese liken the north wind that blows down from Siberia in winter to a roaring tiger. China is home to both the Siberian and the South China tigers. While both are on the verge of extinc-tion, the small South China tiger still appears as far north as the Chungnan Mountains, where hermits have shown me their tracks.”

Sung Po-jen was a Chinese poet of the thirteenth century.

Red Pine (a.k.a. Bill Porter) is one of the world’s foremost translators of Chinese poetry and religious texts. His published translations include The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain , Lao-tzu’s Taoteching , and Poems of the Masters . He lives near Seattle, Washington.

Nitro Nights is a Book of Fortune about sexual love, dying, city scruff, racial unease, and American conscience.

“With language that’s as simple as it is musical, Di Piero sets dazzling moments amid plainsong.”— The New York Times Book Review

“Di Piero’s poems throb with the intensity of urban life, buried anger, and old griefs that still ache.”— San Francisco Chronicle

“Di Piero hopes to evoke something of the true mystery of present and re-called experience, and his poems powerfully enact this desire.”— The Philadelphia Inquirer

W.S. Di Piero marries a streetwise, working-class sensibility to an intellec-tual rigor and precise language in poems that stare down depression, failed love, and urban nightlife. In a fast-paced, half-cracked/half-sane style rem-iniscent of bebop solos, Di Piero forges masterful poems that “keep it close, loose, and sweaty,” and restore life’s intensity while showing where real hope might be found.

From “Only in Things”:

Some days, who can stare at swathes of sky,leafage and bad-complected whale-gray streets,tailpipes and smokestacks orating sepia exhaust,or the smaller enthusiasms of pistil and mailbox key,and not weep for the world’s darks on lights, lights on darks,how its half-tones stay unchanged in their changings,or how turning wheels and wind-trash and revolving doorsweave us into wakefulness or dump us into distraction?

W.S. Di Piero was born in south Philadelphia and grew up in an Italian working-class neighborhood. He received a master’s degree from San Francisco State University. His honors include a Guggenheim fellowship and the Raiziss/de Palchi Book Prize for Italian translation. He teaches at Stanford University and lives in San Francisco, California.

Waltzing Through the Endtime David Bottoms



“David Bottoms’s poems just get better and better.”— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Evocative images, searching irony, and meditative poise.” — Library Journal

Rooted in the customs of Southern families and peopled with undertakers, bluegrass musicians, daughters practicing karate, and elderly parents, David Bottoms’ poems are generous, insightful, and lean headlong into familial wis-dom. Past and present interweave with grandmothers spitting tobacco juice, ponds “fi lled with construction runoff ,” and the boyhood home-site paved over for a KFC. This is Bottoms’ most personal and heartbreaking book.

From “My Daughter Works the Heavy Bag”:

A bow to the instructor,then fi ghting stance, and the only girl in karate class faces the heavy bag.Small for fi fth grade—willow-like, says her mother—sweaty hair tangled like blown willow branches.The boys try to ignore her. They fi dget against the wall, smirk,practice their routine of huff and feint.Circle, barks the instructor,jab, circle, kick, and the black bag wobbles on its chain.Again and again, the bony jewels of her fi stjab out in glistening precision,her fl awless legs remember arabesque and glissade.Kick, jab, kick, and the bag coughs rhythmically from its gut.The boys fi dget and wait . . .

A favorite of Garrison Keillor, David Budbill continues his popular ruminations on a “chop wood, carry water” life in Vermont .

“Budbill . . . is, in short, a delight and a comfort.”—Wendell Berry

“[Budbill] can be hilarious, as when he gripes, ‘What good is my humility / when I am / stuck / in this obscurity?’”— Booklist , starred review

David Budbill continues his popular poetic ruminations on life in remote New England—an outward survey of a forested mountain and an introspec-tion of self-reliance, anonymity, and the creative life. Inspired by classical Chinese and Japanese poets, Budbill contemplates the seasons, ambition, his questionable desire for fame and fortune, and simple, focused contentment: “Weed the beans. Pick the peas.”

“Out in the Woods”

The only time I’m really free is when I’m out in the woodscutting fi rewood, stacking brush, clearing trails. Just the chain saw, the dog and me.Heave and groan, sweat and ache. Work until I can’t stand it anymore.Take a break. Sit on the needle-strewn ground up against a big pine tree,drink some water, stare out through the woods, pet the dog. Stretch out on the ground, take a nap,dog’s head on my lap. Ah, this would be the time and place and wayto die.

David Budbill is the author of many books and served as a commentator on NPR’s All Things Considered . He lives in the mountains of northern Vermont where he tends his garden and website.

Winner of the 2011 American Poetry Review/APR Honickman First Book Prize.

Selected by Marie Howe from over one thousand submissions, Nine Acres is the winner of the American Poetry Review /APR Honickman First Book Prize. Taking their titles from chapters of a 1930s small-scale farming handbook, the fi fty-two poems in this cycle create a handbook for living and explore sustainability on many levels—on the land, in the family, and in the spirit.

As Marie Howe writes in her introduction to the book, “Nathanial Perry has collected poems into this book as one plants a fi eld, as an act of husbandry: each line a furrow where seeds fl ourish or fail. Husbandry—to create a dwell-ing place and to care for it—these are the ancient acts.”

“Soil Surface Management”

I spent the afternoon breakingground. The tiller bucked and groanedat the job, but with each pass I sawa perfect blankness, like I’d been loaneda second life in which to growa third. The sun sat on its porchand smiled. I wondered if the dirtwould be enough, a kind of torchto set inside our lives to say,we’ll grow our food like this, our planswill look like this —like soil squaredand measured into beds by a mansweating through his shirt with eff ort.In dirt is one life we can chooseto make. I spent the afternoonbreaking what I knew we’d use.

The landscapes are harsh and unwelcoming, but it is the anguish of individuals that stirs us most deeply—their expressions of distress and confu-sion, their unfi nished gestures, the sense of damage. These are people who appear to live in the ruins of a drama. It is as if their whole bodies were given over to a scream.

Edgar Martins was initially commissioned by The New York Times to photograph the fallout from the US subprime mortgage crisis. Extending the project, he photographed across the United States in eight separate states and across six-teen diff erent locations. These carefully researched sites exposed the extent and impact of the crisis on the US construction industry. Approaching the project as a photographic intervention into a crisis, the resulting images go be-yond pure formal investigation or documentation. His interest is in summon-ing a disquieting conjunction of realism and fi ction—“cutting in to the real.”

A scathing analysis of six decades of American foreign policy drawing on new archive material and research, America and the Imperialism of Ignorance off ers a unique perspective on the recent wars in Iraq and Afganistan. Journalist and historian Andrew Alexander demonstrates how America’s war-like reaction to global events since the end of World War II have been knee-jerk, unneces-sary, and largely counterproductive. He argues that the entire Cold War was a red herring—the United States and her puppet states setting out to counter a Russian expansionism that never truly existed.

Using newly translated Russian archive documents and material from the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars, Alexander dissects this “shoot fi rst” tendency in American foreign policy through US involvement and intervention in wars throughout the second part of the twentieth cen-tury and up to the present day situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. He argues that American attitudes have proved wretchedly consistent since 1945. War is no longer the last resort of diplomacy but an early option. Nothing has been learnt from Vietnam with all its parallels with Afghanistan.

This book chronicles the activities of Soviet military counterintelligence just before and during World War II.

In the early James Bond novels 007 is pitched against Smersh, a top secret Soviet agency dedicated to the subversion of the West and the assassination of Western spies. Bond’s creator Ian Fleming took his inspiration from life, but the real Smersh was far more savage than Bond’s fi ctional nemesis.

An abbreviation for the Russian words “Death to spies,” Smersh was the Soviet counterintelligence organization dedicated to the elimination of anti-communist activity during World War II. Smersh was Stalin’s wartime terror apparatus—a collection of torturers and killers unleashed with brutal aff ect in 1943 to cut a bloody swath of death across Eastern Europe. Its job was to “fi l-ter” the Red Army for spies. It was responsible for the arrest, torture, and exe cution of many thousands of innocent servicemen and citizens of coun-tries occupied by the Red Army. Among its victims was Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish businessman who saved as many as 100,000 Jews from the Holocaust. Vadim J. Birstein reveals new evidence suggesting Wallenberg was shot as a spy in 1947.

Despite its signifi cant role during and after the war (it was charged with fi nding Hitler and did so), Smersh is almost unknown outside Russia. Partly because its savagery casts a shadow even today, partly because of the complete secrecy that surrounded its existence. In Smersh: Stalin’s Secret Weapon , Birstein makes comprehensive use of recently released Russian military archives in Moscow and speaks to survivors and victims of Smersh to tell, for the fi rst time, one of the darkest stories in Soviet Russia’s history.

Vadim J. Birstein, PhD, is a historian, human rights activist, and molecu-lar geneticist. He is the author of The Perversion of Knowledge: The True History of Soviet Science .

Franco’s Friends is the untold tale of MI6’s involvement in the rise of Spanish fascism. It is known that a British plane took Francisco Franco from the Canaries to Morocco at the start of the coup. What is not known is that the plane was chartered by an MI6 agent and that British secret services con-tinued working behind the scenes in Spain through to World War II to en-sure British interests were maintained. Crucially, MI6 paid bribes to Spanish generals to keep Spain neutral, thus reaping the benefi ts for Britain from 1939–45. Franco’s Friends reveals how Britain made a dubious moral choice that would have repercussions on the outcome of the Second World War.

In the struggle against terrorism post 9/11, the United States developed ren-dition as an instrument of policy. Rendition became associated with the use of coercive interrogation techniques that often crossed the threshold of torture, in violation of international standards to which successive American adminis-trations committed themselves. To a degree yet to be fully established, Britain was implicated in that policy.

Account Rendered is an analysis of the facts and history of rendition intended to get to the truth and to ensure that the United Kingdom will not be involved in extraordinary rendition in the future.

Roger Gough, Stuart McCracken, and Andrew Tyrie are British politicians with inside access to documents pertaining to the role of the United Kingdom and United States in carrying out extraordinary rendition.

When the British military commandeered Bletchley Park in 1939 no one would have guessed that by 1945 its inmates would have contributed deci-sively to the Allied war eff ort.

A melting pot of Oxbridge dons and maverick oddballs worked night and day at Station X to decode the Enigma cypher used by the Germans for high-level communications. That they succeeded, changing the course of the war, is testament to an indomitable spirit that wrenched British intelligence into the modern age, as World War II segued into the Cold War.

RELIGION November



Everything that holy men of all stripes don’t want you to know about religions major and minor.

If you’re waiting for the world’s “Holy Men” to tell you the truth about their religions, do you suppose they’ll mention that:

• The Tao Te Ching was only created because Lao Tzu was thrown in jail by a disciple who didn’t want to let him leave town without writing down his teachings?

• “Passover” celebrates God killing all fi rstborn Egyptian kids while Jewish homes were “passed over” by the angel of death?

• Shinto, a nature-loving, mellow religion, was transformed by the Japanese government into a nationalistic ideology promoting “holy” war?

Adding to its popular 50 Things You’re Not Supposed To Know series, Disinformation has teamed with Daniele Bolelli—writer, professor of com-parative religion, and renowned martial arts practitioner and philosopher—to tackle an ever more serious and important topic: popular misconceptions about religion. Among other revelations:

• Carpocrates, an early Christian, argued that sex orgies were a key to heaven.

• Prostitution was a religious duty in Mesopotamian temples.• The two major Chinese religions (Taoism and Confucianism) are

completely at odds with each other and yet are often practiced together.• Despite having persecuted Jews for 2,000 years, Christian fundamen-

talists are Israel’s biggest supporters.

Capturing just the right balance of in-depth knowledge, respect, humor and irreverence, Bolelli takes an ecumenical approach to the task, revealing surprising, shocking, and little-known facts about the “big three” religions but also many more, including Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and, of course, the increasingly popular non-religion: atheism.

The defi nitive account of America’s mysterious megaliths, from crazy conspiracy theories to the enigma of their

anonymous creator, RC Christian.

The Georgia Guidestones are a collection of standing stones near Elberton, Georgia. Built in 1980, they are primarily composed of six slabs of granite: one central pillar, four “major” stones that fan out from the center, and a capstone. The capstone has engravings on all four of its sides in four diff er-ent ancient languages, all of which read, “Let these be guidestones to an Age of Reason,” when translated. The major stones are each engraved on both sides, and each side contains text in one of eight modern languages asserting the same ten guidelines.

Those guidelines have proven extremely controversial, causing speculation and rumors of conspiracy that go far beyond northeast Georgia.

Conspiracy theorists surmise a global plot on the part of a group of shadowy men to subjugate and oppress the world’s population and create a “new world order.” Others believe that the man behind the monument was a Rosicrucian, and that the stones are representative of that group’s magical manifesto. Some people even believe that it is a landing site for an alien spacecraft of some kind. At the heart of this confusion is the missing piece of the puzzle: who was the mystery man who started the entire chain of events?

Georgia native Raymond Wiley was interviewed for The History Channel’s Brad Meltzer’s Decoded program about the Guidestones and is a principal expert for a feature length documentary currently in production. With local writer KT Prime he has written the defi nitive account of America’s most famous megalithic monument.

“This thick volume is both beautiful and intriguing—artist’s portfolio, con-cept book, and word book rolled into one.”—The Horn Book Magazine

Mother and father, dancers and warriors, gardener and farmer, hypnotist and genie. . . . All sorts of people appear in People , linked together in ways that begin to emerge page after page. Real, mythic, and imaginary types in-habit this extraordinary, gorgeously rendered world, referring to each other through form and function. Like Blexbolex’s earlier book Seasons , this is a con-ceptual book, where the connections between the images are both clear and subtle.

Stunningly illustrated with retro-looking silkscreened images, People is a sumptuously produced volume, with a lavishly illustrated jacket that folds out into a poster. The manner of the realization and the quality of the book are so strong that People (as did Seasons ) serves to reminds us once again what a book can be at its very best.

Seasons was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2010 and a Best Book of the Year for School Library Journal.

Blexbolex lives in Leipzig, Germany. He is an enormously talented silkscreen artist who has large followings in the worlds of comics, art, and children’s books.

The key role played by Canadian Communist Fred Rose in atomic espionage is explained here for the fi rst time. Born in Lublin, Poland, in 1907, he came to Montreal with his parents, joined the Young Communist League, and was elected National Secretary in 1929. A secret member of Gaik Ovakimyan’s North American NKVD network, he worked with Jacob Golos, Elizabeth Bentley’s employer, in securing Canadian passports for Soviet agents. In 1943 Rose was elected to the federal Canadian parliament from a working class dis-trict in Montreal.

In September 1945, Soviet embassy clerk Igor Gouzenko defected with documents that revealed an elaborate espionage operation to acquire American atomic research. Fred Rose was a major player in the scheme. Rose was found guilty of conspiring to turn over information about the explosive RDX to the Soviets and was sentenced to a six-year prison term.

He returned to his native Poland in 1953 and died in Warsaw in 1983, a disillusioned witness to the collapse of the Leninist vision he’d lived by.

Fascist Italy has received far too little attention in the military history of the Axis partnership. This is the fi rst comprehensive study of Benito Mussolini’s military eff orts to build an empire during World War II.

It details the fascist dictator’s attempt to build both a Mediterranean em-pire and Balkan empire, as well as a narrative history of his tragically fl awed illusions; Italy’s disastrous military performance; the heroism of Italian sol-diers, sailors, and airmen; and the brutal counterinsurgency programs. Italy’s various war theaters are discussed singly, with major battles outlined, military aptitude and results judged, and relations with the Axis partner described. Fascist ideology and the Italian army’s conduct in the occupied territories—France, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Russia, East Africa, and North Africa—are also analyzed. Mussolini was the single individual most responsible for Italy’s failure during World War II.

Alphabet of Masks is a collection of short stories and poems written on a mobile phone. It is an imaginative foray into the modern-day Russian experience. Dmitri Birman shows us how today’s Russians straddle their Soviet past and their capitalist future in order to survive.

The stories are wry, humorous, and sexually frank; the poems lyrical and elegiac about the narrator and his friends. The anti-Semitic reality of school bullies and army conscription, the adolescent yearning for classmates and teaching assistants, the Soviet dream of world travel and luxury consumption—all are part of the book, while the poetry resonates as variations on a theme.

Dmitri Birman became a new Russian businessman after Communism fell. A prize-winning poet, he is a member of the Russian PEN.

Violent death stalks the ruins of the wounded capital.

FICTION / MYSTERY February



eBook ISBN: 978-1-936274-34-5 USC

Two people disappear in the ruins of the former German capital and body parts suddenly surface in both the eastern and western half of the city. An in-visible curtain divides the ruins.

Competing administrations struggle with mounting ferocity. The ruined buildings and devastated landscape provide a perfect backdrop to more vio-lence and cruel brutality.

Based on true facts and extensive sociological research, Cold Angel is a chill-ing tale. Amid this chaotic landscape, can perpetrators be found, let alone brought to justice? In 1944 Berlin is a city divided by rubble.

Horst Bosetzky has published over thirty-eight crime novels and several screenplays and is a retired professor of sociology. Berlin is his chosen haunt.

978-0-9832944-1-2 USC

Using the stage and the bedroom, Renée E. D’Aoust interweaves dance history with the stories of contemporary dancers’ muscle and desire.

“Renée D’Aoust’s writing is sharp and funny, twisting and turning through the mind’s eye like the many dancers she so adroitly conjures. Her sentences thrum with life, propelled by felicities of tone, rhythm, and pacing. The woman throws a mean sucker punch.”—Claudia La Rocco, dance critic

“A remarkably clear-eyed descent into New York’s surreal world of modern dance peopled by the obsessed, dispossessed, sexy, suicidal, brutal, broke, and absurd.”—Lance Olsen, author of Nietzsche’s Kisses

The award-winning writer Renée E. D’Aoust draws from her experiences as a modern dancer in New York during the nineties. Her luminous prose spot-lights this passionate, often brutal world. Trained at the prestigious Martha Graham Center, D’Aoust intertwines accounts of her own and other dancers’ lives with essays on modern dance history. A dancer’s body, scarred, strained, and tough, bears witness to the discipline demanded by the art form. Body of a Dancer provides a powerful, acidly comic record of what it is to love, and even-tually leave, a life centered on dance.

Renée E. D’Aoust ’s essays have been featured as notable essays in Best American Essays in 2006, 2007, and 2009. Her nonfi ction work has been included in the anthology Reading Dance , edited by Robert Gottlieb and nominated for the Pushcart Prize. D’Aoust is the recipient of an NEA’s Dance Criticism fellow-ship and grants from The Puffi n Foundation and the Idaho Commission on the Arts.

“The most interesting American poet writing today, the least predictable and most challenging.”—David Caplan, Pleiades

Our work (as writers) is not the pursuit of fame and fortune, not self-expression, not creativity, not therapy, not publication, unless and exactly insofar as those further rational discourse. Our work is to recognize and declare the equal standing of all persons before the truth.

In his explorations into matters both minute and vast, H.L. Hix further en-riches the poetic discourse through this distinctive, lucid volume.

FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS September



eB ook ISBN: 978-1-935259-12-1 W

The heartbreaking, hilarious, and inspiring story of one man’s quest to create a better life for three abandoned children—and himself.

It was no mystery why California had 98,000 children stuck in foster care. There were not 98,003 because I was stubborn.

When David Marin fell in love with three children desperately in need of a home, there was only one thing he could do. Give up the life of a single guy and learn about parenting—from how to carve a Halloween pumpkin to what makes up a Happy Meal. In the process, he found the future he had always wanted, but he also learned some hard lessons about single-parent adoption, the Kafkaesque side of Social Services, and America’s anti-immigrant senti-ment: “All facts aside, I wanted to help my children see through the darkness, past their past. I’d give them a chance to rebound, like me. After all, it’s never too late to have a happy childhood.”

His journey, and the deeply moving story behind the children’s lives, il-lustrates that even if society isn’t colorblind, love can be. It also proves that fathers love their children as much as mothers do and that families like his—happy, secure, and multi-ethnic—represent our single greatest hope.

David Marin (pronounced “marine”) is half Puerto Rican, half Irish, and all American. A media company executive by profession, he has traveled to eleven countries and visited thirty-six of our fi fty states. He has skydived in Arizona, water-skied on the Caribbean, and rescued olive ridley sea turtles in Costa Rica. By far the greatest adventure of his life is fatherhood.

This is US The New All-American Family

eBook ISBN: 978-1-55861-757-5 USC A powerful account of the woman who made abortion her business.

Merle Hoff man’s life story is riveting. A former classical pianist, a self-made millionaire, and a feminist who found her life’s work providing abortions, she has been a fearless crusader for women’s right to choose.

Over the years, Hoff man has used her entrepreneurial spirit to build one of the most comprehensive women’s medical centers in the country. In 1971 (two years before the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion nationally), Hoff man founded Choices, an abortion clinic in New York. As a medical provider, she pioneered “patient power,” encouraging women to par-ticipate in their own health care decisions. And going against even her own expectations for her life after fi fty, she adopted a child and writes about her experience as a mother.

Whether addressing the murder of abortion providers like Dr. George Tiller or challenging women to understand their own power over their bod-ies and the language used to wield such power, Merle Hoff man has been on the front lines of the feminist movement, a fi erce warrior in the battle for choice.

Merle Hoff man is an award-winning journalist, activist, and women’s health care pioneer. In 1971, she founded Choices, one of the fi rst ambulatory abor-tion centers, which has become one of the nation’s largest and most com-prehensive women’s medical facilities in the United States. She is also the publisher of On the Issues , an online feminist magazine.

Is there a gender diff erence between women and men when it comes to bad smells? It turns out there is. And what happens when you secretly experiment on a group of scientists during a dinner eaten completely in the dark? Read and fi nd out. A food writer for the The Wall Street Journal, Diane Fresquez spent a year on the trail of obsessive scientists and entrepreneurs who are trying to titillate our taste buds.

In this lively sprint through foods and fl avors, she explores the passionate young people working to uncover the truths about taste, including a brewery owner/scientist who’s developed a banana-fl avored beer meant to appeal to young women, and another who won’t rest until he develops the perfect mead, the ancient liquor that has been called the ancestor of all fermented drinks. In between we meet a young mother and PhD student whose research shows that what a mother eats can infl uence the fl avor of her breast milk, and possibly aid weaning; and a scientist in the Netherlands who does research on fl avor and memory at an Orwellian university lab called the Restaurant of the Future.

Diane Fresquez is a food and arts journalist based in Brussels, Belgium. She was for many years a special correspondent to The Wall Street Journal , contrib-uting to and editing the newspaper’s Weekend section in Europe. There she wrote on cuisine, home and garden, culture, and travel. She also contributes to Science|Business news service and other publications.

A moving and hilarious coming-of-age story about love, sex, and attention defi cit disorder.

“Bond’s fabulosity is matched by a trenchant wit, and [V’s] over-the-top stories are smartly edged with politics, sexual or otherwise.”—The New York Times

Hailed as “the greatest cabaret artist of [V’s] generation” in The New Yorker , Mx. Justin Vivian Bond makes a brilliant literary debut with this candid and hilari-ous novella-length memoir.

With a recent diagnosis of attention defi cit disorder, and news that Bond’s fi rst lover from childhood has been imprisoned for impersonating an un-dercover police offi cer, Bond recalls in vivid detail coming of age as a trans kid. Always haunted by the knowledge of being “diff erent,” Bond was fur-ther confused when the bully next door wanted to meet secretly. Their trysts went on for years, and made Bond acutely aware of sexual power and vulner-ability. With inimitable style, Bond raises issues about LGBTQ adolescence, homophobia, parenting, and sexuality, while being utterly entertaining.

Singer, songwriter, and Tony-nominated performer Mx. Justin Vivian Bondis an Obie, Bessie, and Ethyl Eichelberger Award winner. As one half of the performance duo Kiki and Herb, Bond has toured the world, head lining at Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, and starring in Kiki and Herb Alive on Broadway . Film credits include a role in John Cameron Mitchell’s feature Shortbus . Bond is currently releasing a record, Dendrophile, and is writing a play with Sandra Bernhard.

eBook ISBN: 978-1-55861-769-8 W From orthodoxy to chaos, a major artist wrestles with her infl uences .

Helène Aylon was a good Jewish girl raised in orthodox Brooklyn, married to a rabbi, and mother of two when her world split apart. A widow at thirty, she broke free of tradition to become an eco-feminist artist whose work deals in transgressive images about war and peace, women’s bodies, women and god, and the deeply religious world that continues to infl uence her work to this day.

This memoir is a charming dash through the years of a structured ortho-dox life and the artistic life that freed her to question the misogyny of her be-loved religion. It is also a tell-all about the art world, with fascinating details about luminaries such as Ana Mendieta, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, and Betty Parsons.

Examples of Aylon’s work included are her early doors for the Jewish cha-pel at JFK airport, her peace pillowcases (including one worn by Grace Paley), and her current search for the links between feminism and Judaism.

Helène Aylon is a visual, conceptual, and installation artist and eco- feminist whose work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum and the Jewish Museum in New York, the Aldrich Museum in Connecticut, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, among many others. She has up coming exhibitions at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. Aylon turned eighty this year.

A modern literary masterpiece, Women Without Men creates an evocative and power-fully drawn allegory of life in contemporary Iran. Internationally acclaimed writer Shahrnush Parsipur follows the interwoven destinies of fi ve women— including a prostitute, a wealthy middle-aged housewife, and a schoolteacher—as they arrive by diff erent paths to live together in a garden in Tehran.

Shortly after the 1989 publication of Women Without Men in her native Iran, Parsipur was arrested and jailed for her frank and defi ant portrayal of wom-en’s sexuality.

This volume is the fi rst author-approved translation of Women Without Men .

“One of the greatest writers of our time.”—Toni Morrison

“This well-made collection of her work . . . should give momentum to the re-discovery of Hurston as ‘the intellectual and spiritual foremother of a gener-ation of black women writers.’”— The Washington Post Book Review

Known for her audacity and inimitable style, Zora Neale Hurston is widely acknowledged as the forerunner for writers such as Toni Morrison and Alice Walker. This anthology draws together superb selections from her essays, short stories, journalism, folklore, and autobiography.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960) was a novelist, folklorist, and anthro-pologist whose fi ctional and factual accounts of black heritage remain un-paralleled. Her many books include Dust Tracks on a Road ; Their Eyes Were Watching God ; Jonah’s Gourd Vine ; Moses, Man of the Mountain ; Mules and Men ; and Every Tongue Got to Confess .

Alice Walker changed the course of the American literary canon when she published her novel The Color Purple in 1982. As an anthologist, she lifted from obscurity the writings of Zora Neale Hurston and introduced Hurston to a new generation of readers in this FP Classic, fi rst published in 1979.

POETRY October



Ariana Reines returns with more of her elegant, blisteringly direct attention to culture, lovers, and the deep image.

“This astonishing young poet—still in her twenties—is surely destined to be one of the crucial voices of her generation.”—Michael Silverblatt, Bookworm

Composed in the direct, accessible, consciousness-piercing style readers of Ariana Reines’ fi rst two books are wildly enamored of, Mercury comprises a group of long poems. These interlocking works speak to the substance and es-sence of what is said, transmitted, transacted, “communicated” between per-sons. Reines proposes that substance and essence are opposites, and explores this in contexts including commercial cinema and internet porn.

Your music makes me feel lonelyYour music makes me feel lonelyYour musicMakes me feel lonelyPicking a lemonLate at nightMy heart tightensI fear natureYour music makes me feel lonelyI must be responsible for itI’m aliveI have this hair helmet onI’m so aliveI say yes to the megaplexYou say it’s awful isn’t it awfulI say yeahSo what.

Ariana Reines is author of The Cow (2006) and Coeur de Lion (2007). Her play Telephone was produced at the Cherry Lane Theater and won several Obie awards. Reines was 2009 Roberta C. Holloway Lecturer in Poetry at the University of California Berkeley; she has taught master classes at Pomona College, the University of California Davis, and the University of Pittsburgh.

An engaging, humorous, and startling look at how fraternal orders and secret societies shaped American life.

“Adam Parfrey is one of the nation’s most provocative publishers.”—Seattle Weekly

“Secret society historian Craig Heimbichner follows the Middle Path to wis-dom. He works the graveyard shift in the secret lodge.”—Joan d’Arc, Paranoiamagazine

Secret societies—now a staple of bestseller novels—are pictured as sinister cults that use hooded albinos to menace truth-seekers. Some conspiracy books claim that fraternal orders are the work of serpentine aliens and interbred humans who wish to supplant earth of its energy, and later, its very existence.

On the other side of the aisle, books by high-ranked Freemasons— skeptical in tone but no less partisan in approach—protect their organization’s public image by denying the existence of its most contentious ideas.

Ritual America reveals the biggest secret of them all: that the infl uence of fra-ternal brotherhoods on this country is vast, fundamental, and hidden in plain view. In the early twentieth century, as many as one-third of America be-longed to a secret society. And though fezzes and tiny car parades are almost a thing of the past, the Gnostic beliefs of Masonic orders are now so much a part of the American mind that the surrounding pomp and circumstance has become faintly unnecessary.

The authors of Ritual America contextualize hundreds of rare and many never-before printed images with entertaining and far-reaching commentary, making an esoteric subject provocative, exciting, and approachable.

Adam Parfrey is the author of Cult Rapture: Revelations of the Apocalyptic Mind and It’s a Man’s World: Men’s Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps. He is editor of the infl uen-tial Apocalypse Culture series Love, Sex, Fear Death: The Inside Story of the Process Church of the Final Judgment.

Craig Heimbichner has recently appeared on a National Geographic docu-mentary about the Bohemian Grove, contributed to the Feral House compila-tion Secret and Suppressed II, and wrote about the famous occult order the O.T.O. in Blood and Altar.

The birth of the 1970s’ punk movement as seen through the eyes of Chicana feminist and punk musician Alice Bag.

The proximity of the East L.A. barrio to Hollywood is as close as a short drive on the 101 freeway, but the cultural divide is enormous. Born to Mexican-born and American-naturalized parents, Alicia Armendariz migrated a few miles west to participate in the free-range birth of the 1970s punk move-ment. Alicia adopted the punk name Alice Bag, and became lead singer for The Bags, early punk visionaries who starred in Penelope Spheeris’ documen-tary The Decline of Western Civilization .

Here is a life of many crossed boundaries, from East L.A.’s musica ranch-era to Hollywood’s punk rock; from a violent male-dominated family to female-dominated transgressive rock bands. Alice’s feminist sympathies can be understood by the name of her satiric all-girl early Goth band Castration Squad.

Violence Girl takes us from a violent upbringing to an aggressive punk sensi-bility; this time a diffi cult coming-of-age memoir culminates with a satisfying conclusion, complete with a happy marriage and children. Nearly a hundred excellent photographs energize the text in remarkable ways.

Alice Bag ’s work and influence can be seen this year in the traveling Smithsonian exhibition “American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music.”

J.R. Mathews interviews and photographs one hundred graffi ti artists nationally for this one-of-a-kind testament to

this subversive and infl uential culture.

We’ve seen the folk art form of graffi ti derided by police and civic leaders as pure vandalism. In the ’90s some of it was upgraded to art museums, and today the political “street art” of Banksy and Shepard Fairey recontextualize graffi ti art yet again. In Graffi ti Underworld , J.R. Mathews bypasses the art galler-ies and travels across the United States to rediscover the original outlaw van-dals for no-bullshit interviews about their risky and exciting outlaw creations.

Graffi ti Underworld interviews nearly two hundred artists, all of them pseud-onymous, and includes over three hundred images of their work through the barbed-wire fences, multi-story walls, railroad tracks, and other rough-and-tumble surroundings.

Graffi ti artists and lawbreakers interviewed include: Ader, Anoy, Apes, Arek, Aser, Asic, Aware, Beer, Begr, Bone, Byas, Cern, Chek 1, Clown, Colt 45, Cope, Cornbread, Coupe, Crow, Dark, Dekay, Demer, Den, Denz, Desism, Dyer, Else, Ender, Ether, Evict, Fishe, Flash ABC, Flyos, Ghouls, Gime, Glue, Goner, Graves, GSouth, Hael, Harsh, Heat, Helz, Hert, Hour, Huge, Indecline, Isto, Jaber, Jase, Jee, Jel, Jive, Joey TPA, Kerse, King 157, KR, Kuhr, Lead, Lost, Lyes, Met, Mise, Nark, Neks, Nekst, Neo, Nerose, Omens, Ouija, People, Pepe, Phone, Phrite, Poet, Popmaster Fabel, Prae, Ree2, Resek, Ridl 1, RJay, RVee, Saber, Sachem, Saer, Sake, Sexer, Sicks, Sight, Sinek, Size 21, SMK, Snatch, Space, Spade, Syms, Taco, Takt, Teel, Temp, Then, Timber, Toomer, Tork, Trixter, Typoe, Untold, Urine, Vogue, Voice, Vos, Waste, Yukon, Zek 156, and Zem.

J.R. Mathews has spent the past decade ducking in and out of dangerous situ-ations in railroad yards, tops of buildings, and ghetto walls, pursuing the most notable proponents of the folk art form of graffi ti. This is his fi rst book.

Full reproductions of the magazine of the most notorious cult of the twentieth century.

The celebrated thematic magazines of the notorious Process Church of the Final Judgment cult were created to be hawked on the street in order to raise money and attract like-minded adherents to their unorthodox Gnostic theology.

Printed in order of their fi rst appearance, the Sex , Fear , and Death issues are here reproduced in their entirety in a handsome clothbound book.

The Feral House release Love, Sex, Fear, Death: The Inside Story of The Process Church of the Final Judgment by Timothy Wyllie and other ex-members explored the his-tory and aftermath of the notorious organization and the accusations lodged against it. Soon after its publication, Feral House received dozens of requests for full reproduction of the original magazines that are now sold online (when they can be found) for over one thousand dollars apiece.

The magazines reproduced in this book are lionized as being decades ahead of their time in terms of the sophistication of its art and design. The cult was also attacked for including in its Death issue a contribution by Charles Manson. This inclusion led the dark-robed cult to be characterized as a sin-ister death cult.

This book provides an introduction by Adam Parfrey and by the magazine’s original art director, Timothy Wyllie. Adam Parfrey contextualizes the mean-ings and impact of the magazines on the world at large.

Where They Create documents thirty studios where creativity takes place by showing the work of interior photographer Paul Barbera.

The successful weblog Where They Create documents studios where crea-tivity takes place by showing the work of interior photographer Paul Barbera. Now it’s time to make a book. Where They Create captures thirty studios from all around the world; studios of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, adver-tising agencies, and many others, some very well known, others only starting out. The studios of Wallpaper* magazine, Clive Wilkinson Architects, Jeremiah Goodman, and Opening Ceremony are included. Important to Barbera is that the photographed studios are somehow connected to someone Barbera knows and that he likes the creative space or the work they do.

Where They Create is also a break from the work Barbera does for several inte-rior magazines, where everything is styled and considered. Instead the images for this book are as Barbera fi nds the spaces, un-styled and raw. Just the way they are. Each project is described with personal information from the owner of the studio and Barbera himself.

Alexandra Onderwater has written for many international magazines, in-cluding Wallpaper* , i-D , and Frame .

Paul Barbera was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now works between Melbourne and Amsterdam, living in various locations that include Berlin, Prague, Singapore, and Rome. During this time, Paul established himself as an interiors and fashion photographer, working with publications like View on Colour , Bloom , and Vogue Living .

An explanation of nature’s strategies to fulfi ll needs such as air conditioning, self-cleaning, and camoufl age, with

application examples for the design industry.

Although information on ecology and sustainability is published and posted daily, it’s obvious that most people feel powerless when faced with the state of our environment today. Materials and technologies claim a dominant posi-tion with regard to ecological problems, but we sometimes forget that these may not always be the key to good, comprehensive solutions. The use of ma-terials is only one approach to the larger ecological issue, which clearly has philo sophical, metaphysical, economical, and social implications.

The world of nature, on the other hand, is an amazing arena fi lled with smart models of simple and sustainable behaviors. Nature undeniably ques-tions the pretentiously authoritative status that humans have allocated them-selves, and nature is the best example of a wholly sustainable and autonomous industry. Industry of Nature explains seventy-fi ve of nature’s strategies to fulfi ll needs such as protection, temperature regulation, bonding, air conditioning, self-cleaning, anti-collision, transmission of information, camoufl age, and many more. By describing these strategies and adding practical application examples, the book provides creative professionals with inspiration and tools for augmenting their work, expanding their imaginations, and improving the world in which we live. Interviews with various specialists, a chapter cover-ing the history of biomimicry, and a bibliography deepen the subject and pro-vide the reader with handles to further delve into the subject. A profusion of photo graphs and illustrations brings the ideas and relevant information to life.

According to the authors, “whenever American minorities have raised voices of protest, they have been admonished to work within the legal system that seek its abolition.” This essential work examines the historical evolution of the legal rights of various groups in America and the relationship between these rights and the philosophical intent of the founders.

Vine Deloria Jr. was named by Time magazine as one of the greatest religious thinkers of the twentieth century. He was a leading scholar who authored many acclaimed books, including God is Red: A Native View of Religion.

In this entertaining and thought-provoking book, noted historian and mu-sician Bobby Bridger explores the impact of Native American culture on the American psyche. The book also examines the impact of indigenous American mythology on contemporary identity and the development of mod-ern popular entertainment, particularly the Hollywood fi lm industry.

Renowned for “A Ballad of the West,” Bobby Bridger has written three books and has had a career in show business that spans the rockabilly to the cosmic cowboy scene in Austin, Texas; the fl owering of folk music; and Broadway theater. His multifaceted talents have found expression in singing, acting, writing, painting, and sculpting.

For forty years they fl ooded Colorado—gold diggers, silver miners, outlaws, gamblers, and pioneers—looking for another Golden Fleece. Colorado comes alive in this classic overview of the gold and silver rushes, where fortunes were won and lost. Phyllis Flanders Dorset has re-created a lusty frontier sce-nario of one of the most exciting chapters in American history. Crammed with color ful characters and unforgettable incidents, The New Eldorado races through lawless, thrilling, turn-of-the-century Colorado with the fascination of a novel and fi delity of scholarly history.

GLAS New Russian WritingMoscow, Russia

Praise for GLAS New Russian Writing:

“GLAS specializes in exposing the best of new Russian literary fi ction to English-speaking readers. GLAS plays an important role in giving people an opportunity to enjoy Russian literature that isn’t necessarily a classic text.”—Publishing Trends

“Thanks to GLAS many of the new Russian writers are now available to the Western reader.”—The New Yorker

“These stories, which are amusing and unique, act like a playground swing, each one fl inging itself in directions diff erent from the others.”—Boston Review

GLAS New Russian Writing is an ongoing series of contemporary Russian literature in English translation aiming to introduce more Russian authors to the American reader. A small independent publisher based in Moscow, Russia, GLAS has become the premier showcase for contemporary Russian writing available in English.

Since 1991 GLAS has been discovering new writers (Victor Pelevin, Ludmila Ulitskaya, Asar Eppel, Arkady Babchenko) and rediscovering underappreciated past masters (early Mikhail Bulgakov and Andrei Platonov, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky, Andrei Sinyavsky, Anatoly Mariengof). Begun as a series of anthologies of diverse writers grouped around a unifying theme (such as revolution, fear, childhood, or women’s views), GLAS has taken to publishing single-author books so as to give readers a better sense of the author’s work. Our book-length translations have twice won the Rossica Prize for the best translation from Russian.

In 2010 GLAS launched a sub-series featuring winners of the Debut Prize for young authors. Free of the Soviet legacy, this generation is now declaring itself with increasing confi dence in life and literature.

With more than one hundred names represented, GLAS is indeed the most comprehensive English-language source for Russian letters today: a must for libraries, students of world literature, and all those who love good writing.

“The book will surely fi nd its way into the classroom.”—Publishing Trends

A quirky, opinionated, sometimes hilarious yet always thoughtful and authori-tative guide, Michele A. Berdy looks at Russia’s changing culture, politics, and daily life through language and the art of translation. She explores the lan-guage of popular and youth culture, politics, the workplace, culture (high and low), and the comical struggle of expats trying to cope with a foreign language and culture. The entries in this book are grouped thematically and, with the forty-eight page index, it can be used as a dictionary.

The Russian Word’s Worth is essential reading for students and teachers of Russian, translators, Russia-watchers, and anyone who wants to understand Russia today.

Michelle A. Berdy is a columnist at The Moscow Times and author of four books about Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Russia. She specializes in intercultural communication.

Boris Yampolsky’s The Old Arbat is a visceral portrait of fear under the Soviet re-gime: the inner state of a hunted man as he wanders around Moscow trying to escape the secret police. Finally, he overcomes fear by accepting the inevi-table. In Vasil Bykov’s The Manhunt , a dispossessed peasant secretly returns from his Siberian exile to his native village in Belarus. The local Cheka, headed by his own son, hunts him down. Given the current situation in both Russia and Belarus, this is as relevant as ever.

Boris Yampolsky (1912–1972) was a noted literary fi gure in the late 1950s. His major novel was banned by censors and only published in the 1990s.

Vasil Bykov (1924–2003), a major Byelorussian author of the Solzhenitsyn stamp and winner of top literary prizes, investigated the problem of moral choice versus personal safety.

Young Russians explore their country’s remote regions and make

“Today an unusually gifted generation is entering Russian literature. . . . Literature has not seen such an infl ux of energy in a long time.”—Olga Slavnikova, director of the Debut Prize

By and about Russian hitchhikers, these stories take the reader along the end-less roads of central Russia, the Urals, the Altai, Siberia, and beyond. In en-ergetic and vivid prose they depict all sorts of curious Russian types: exotic adventures in far-fl ung places, the complex psychological relationships that develop on the road, and these hitchhikers’ inexplicable passion for tramping. “In via veritas” is their motto. The authors are all winners of the Debut Prize, and will present the book at BEA in 2012 in New York.

Irina Bogatyreva lives in Moscow. She has won several prizes, including the Debut, for her novel AUTO-STOP. She has several published books to her credit.

“All of Krzhizhanovsky’s stories depict something aberrant, which is strongly rooted in something true.”— Bookforum

“It is now clear that Krzhizhanovsky is one of the greatest Russian writers of the last century.”— Financial Times

“A natural storyteller, striking intellect, and deeply creative soul are found all in one—a rare combination.”— Complete Review


Squaring the Circle is Russian prose by a new generation of authors from various parts of Russia who never lived in the USSR and who, unlike older writers, are not fi ghting the Soviet past. Young people have no algorithms for build-ing their lives and careers. There are no guarantees, but anything is possible.


Uprooted by the collapse of the USSR, some disillusioned young men take to drink and drugs. In contrast, their parents are depicted as survivors against all odds, although that means abandoning their professions and growing their own food. Roman Senchin provides almost photographic portrayals and abundant ethnographic details you won’t fi nd in guidebooks.

Army stories (War) versus women’s stories (Peace) make a compelling portrait of post-post-perestroika Russia. The message is that any war inevitably sows hatred among otherwise peaceful people.

The women’s stories immerse you in the world of basic human values but also cover aging, the generation gap, and violence against women.

This novel, which critics have likened to William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez, is a philosophical parable in which the hero’s unique abilities and alienation underscore the distinctive Caucasian culture and their strict code of honor. It is told from within an endemic culture threatened by the advance of modern civilization.


Winner of four prizes, Hurramabad describes the eviction of Russians from Tajikistan and the national strife following the collapse of the USSR. A resi-dent of Dushanbe, Andrei Volos witnessed the civil war with its insane de-struction, ethnic hatred, bloody vengeance, ruthless struggle for power, and violent demonstrations instigated by cynical politicians.


Sea Stories depicts the realities of life inside the army. Alexander Pokrovsky’s cycle of satirical stories about the trials and trivialities of life on a nuclear sub-marine are both funny and frightening. Alexander Terekhov relates his trau-matic fi rst-hand experiences in the army without losing sight of man’s better nature.


This collection answers the questions most often asked by people in the West about the incomprehensible ways of the artifi cial and inhuman Soviet system: How was it possible that an entire country could live in mute fear? Why did Soviet intellectuals denounce each other and conspire with the authorities to brainwash ordinary people?

A groundbreaking series of innovative biographies telling the stories of the men who tried to create “the peace to end all war.” The far-reaching conse-quences of the agreements reached at the Paris Peace Conference were mo-mentous and played an unrivalled role in shaping the world we live in today.

The legacy of what they did or did not achieve is examined in these thirty-two volumes.

The current confl ict in the Middle East is not presented from one perspective but approached from a transnational angle.

TG Fraser presents a comprehensive analysis of how the decisions taken at the end of World War I forged a new Middle East. These decisions set in place a pattern which formed the political shape of the region as we know it today, in-cluding the popular uprisings witnessed in Egypt and Tunisia in 2011. From the Paris Peace Conference right up to the 2011 clashes in Tahrir Square and Hosni Mubarak’s resignation, Fraser gives a relevant and complete overview in this critical time for the Middle East and its people.

This book explores the complex interactions of the high politics of the conferences with how Arabs, Jews, and Turks created new realities on the ground, often confounding what the statesmen had decided. With events in the Middle East rarely absent from the world’s headlines, this book offers a scholarly and objective analysis of a critical phase in its development.

TG Fraser is professor emeritus of the University of Ulster. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a mem-ber of the Royal Institute of International Aff airs.

Andrew Mango is the author of the defi nitive biography of Atatürk (2002) as well as The Turks Today (2004).

Nicholas Woodsworth sets out to satisfy a lifetime curiosity—the true nature, beyond the headlines and the historical clichés, of the city of Jerusalem. While the author himself is deeply skeptical of religion, this book is a portrait of a spiritual Jerusalem that questions the values and examines the beliefs that have sustained Jerusalem’s populations through centuries of confl ict and division. At a time when people across the Middle East are calling for greater freedom, Crossing Jerusalem is now especially relevant, off ering an unusual and penetrating perspective of the city.

This is a perfect book for those wanting to under stand how Bhutan’s history, recent political change, and drive to become the world’s fi rst smoking-free nation have shaped the enigmatic Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon.

Though he died almost unacknowledged, Franz Kafka is now recognized as one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century and the creator of some of modern literature’s most unsettling and memorable images. Every one of his forty years was spent in his hometown of Prague; this book is the story of his life and the city whose infl uence infuses every aspect of his works.

The success of his fi rst novel This Side of Paradise gave F. Scott Fitzgerald both ce-lebrity and fi nancial independence, enabling him to marry his “golden girl,” Zelda Sayre. They became the quintessential couple of the Jazz Age, the heady and exciting years of the twenties before the Wall Street crash. Tragically the glamor and decadence of their early years would dissolve into Zelda’s alcohol-induced schizophrenia and, for Fitzgerald, a precarious life in Hollywood that would end in early death. This introductory biography, part of the Life&Times series, is a comprehensive account of Fitzgerald’s literary triumphs and per-sonal misfortune.

Keeping up with the American elite can be tiring. This is the layman’s guide to how the wealthy maintain their rule.

“Social criticism at its scorching-hot best.”—Barbara Ehrenreich

“Think H.L. Mencken crossed with Jon Stewart.”— The Phoenix

In Rich People Things , Chris Lehmann lays bare the various dogmas and delu-sions that prop up plutocratic rule in the post-meltdown age. It’s a humorous and harrowing tale of warped populism, phony reform, and blind deference to the nation’s fi nancial elite. As the author explains, American class privi-lege is very much like the idea of sex in a Catholic school—it’s not supposed to exist in the fi rst place, but once it presents itself in your mind’s eye, you real-ize that it’s everywhere.

A concise and easy-to-use guide, Rich People Things catalogs the fortifi cations that shelter the opulent from the resentments of the hoi polloi. From ideo-logical stanchions such as the Free Market through the castellation of media including The New York Times and Wired magazine, to gatekeepers such as David Brooks, Steve Forbes, and Alan Greenspan, Lehmann covers the vast array of comforting and comprehensive protections that allow the über-privileged to maintain their iron grip on almost half of America’s wealth. With chapters on Malcolm Gladwell, the Supreme Court, the memoir, and more, no one is spared from Lehmann’s pointed prose.

Chris Lehmann is employed, ever precariously, as an editor for Yahoo! News, Bookforum , and The Baffl er , while dissecting the excesses of his social betters for his column Rich People Things at TheAwl.com. He lives in Washington, DC, with his wife Ana Marie Cox and a quartet of excellent pets.

L-vis lives in this poetic narrative on the use and misuse of contemporary black culture.

“A new, glowing voice in the world of literature.”—Studs Terkel

“ L-vis is an unstinting excavation of race and culture, art and ownership. Though dubbed ‘post-racial,’ Coval reminds us America is a country in which race is always receding but ever returning to the center of our consciousness. With poignancy, humor, and no small amount of soul, Coval has fashioned poetry for the present.”—Adam Bradley, co-editor, The Anthology of Rap

L-vis Lives is the tale of an archetype, an American anomaly that has become cli-ché: the white boy reared by black music. In this original poetry collection, Kevin Coval combines and re-imagines Elvis Presley, Eminem, the Beastie Boys, and other artists who have used and misused black culture into a con-temporary “L-vis” character.

L-vis loves the music. He is both a sincere artist and a thief, naïve and poor. L-vis represents what is possible in cross-cultural understanding, and what is problematic. L-vis lives at the center of the American experiment. This is his story.

Kevin Coval is the author of Slingshots and Everyday People , and co-founder and artistic director of Louder Than a Bomb: The Chicago Teen Poetry Festival. A regular contributor to Chicago Public Radio, and a four-time HBO Def Poet, Coval teaches in schools around Chicago.

With piercing wit and brutal insight, Tom Engelhardt tours the future ruins of the American empire.

“A tour de force.”—Jeremy Scahill

“Tom Engelhardt is the I. F. Stone of the post-9/11 age.”—Andrew J. Bacevich

In 2008, when the US National Intelligence Council issued its latest report meant for the administration of newly elected President Barack Obama, it predicted that the planet’s “sole superpower” would suff er a modest de-cline and a soft landing fi fteen years hence. In his new book The United States of Fear , Tom Engelhardt makes clear that Americans should don their crash hel-mets and buckle their seat belts, because the United States is on the path to a major decline at a startling speed. Engelhardt off ers a savage anatomy of how successive administrations in Washington took the “Soviet path”— pouring American treasure into the military, war, and national security—and so helped drive their country off the nearest cliff .

This is the startling tale of how fear was profi tably shot into the national bloodstream, how the country—gripped by terror fantasies—was locked down, and how a brain-dead Washington elite fi ddled (and profi ted) while America quietly burned.

Think of it as the story of how the Cold War really ended, with the trium-phalist “sole superpower” of 1991 heading slowly for the same exit through which the Soviet Union left the stage twenty years earlier.

Tom Engelhardt created and runs the TomDispatch website, a project of The Nation Institute, where he is a fellow. He is the author of the critically ac-claimed The American Way of War and The End of Victory Culture .

In a wide-ranging conversation, fi lmmaker Oliver Stone and writer Tariq Ali discuss world history from the seventh century to today.

In working together on two challenging new documentaries— South of the Border and the forthcoming thirteen-part, thirteen-hour Forgotten History of the United States series for Showtime—fi lmmaker Oliver Stone engaged with author and fi lmmaker Tariq Ali in a probing, hard-hitting conversation on the politics of history.

Their dialogue brings to light a number of forgotten—or deliberately buried—episodes of American history, from the US intervention against the Russian Revolution to the dynamic radicalism of the Wobblies; how Henry Wallace’s nomination for the vice presidency was deliberately thwarted by Demo cratic Party machine insiders, to the ongoing close connections between various US presidents and the Saudi royal family.

For Stone and Ali—two of our most insightful observers on history and popular culture—no topic is sacred, no orthodoxy goes unchallenged.

Tariq Ali is an internationally acclaimed Pakistani writer and fi lmmaker. He has written more than two dozen books on world history and politics and seven novels (translated into over a dozen languages) as well as scripts for the stage and screen. He is an editor of New Left Review and lives in London.

Oliver Stone has directed, among other fi lms, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps , W. , World Trade Center , Any Given Sunday , Nixon , Natural Born Killers , Heaven and Earth , JFK , The Doors , Born on The Fourth of July , Talk Radio , Wall Street , Platoon , Salvador , and the documentaries Looking for Fidel , Comandante , Persona Non Grata , South of the Border , and the upcoming Forgotten History of the United States series for Showtime.

All empires spin self-serving myths, and in the United States the most potent of these is that America is a force for democracy around the world. Yet there is a tradition of American anti-imperialism which gives the lie to this mythology. Richard Seymour examines this complex relationship from the Revolution to the present-day.

Despite their best attempts to declare them dead at every opportunity, es-tablishment critics have failed to relegate Karl Marx’s ideas to the dustbin of history. Alex Callinicos argues that Marx’s ideas have an enduring relevance and provides an engaging and accessible introduction to one of the West’s most recognizable social critics.

Alex Callinicos is professor of European studies at Kings College London. He has written widely about Marxism and social theory. His most recent books are Social Theory, Equality , Imperialism and Global Political Economy , and Bonfi re of Illusion , all published by Polity.

The most comprehensive collection of Antonio Gramsci’s writings on the

relationship between culture and politics available in the English language.

One of the world’s most infl uential cultural critics, Antonio Gramsci’s writ-ings on the interconnection between culture and politics fundamentally changed the way that scholars view both. Among the fi rst to argue that art is not the product of “men of genius” but rather particular historical and so-cial contexts, Gramsci remains one of the most widely read theorists of mod-ern culture.

Antonio Gramsci was a founding member of the Italian Communist Party and spent most of his adult life imprisoned by Benito Mussolini. After his death and the subsequent publication of his Prison Notebooks, he came to be known as one of the twentieth century’s foremost cultural critics.

HISTORY / POLITICAL SCIENCE September



eBook ISBN: 978-1-60846-166-0 W

Uncritically lauded by the left and impulsively denounced by the right, the Cuban Revolution is almost universally viewed one dimensionally. Samuel Farber, one of its most informed left-wing critics, provides a much needed critical assessment of the Revolution’s impact and legacy.

Samuel Farber was born and raised in Marianao, Cuba, and came to the United States in February 1958. His scholarship on Cuba includes two pre-vious books, Revolution and Reaction in Cuba, 1933–1960 and Origins of the Cuban Revolution Reconsidered . Farber was active in the Cuban high school student move-ment against Fulgencio Batista, and has been involved in socialist politics for more than fi fty years.

NATURE / SOCIAL SCIENCE October



eBook ISBN: 978-1-60846-167-7 W

Too Many People? provides a clear, well-documented, and popularly written refu-tation of the idea that “overpopulation” is a major cause of environmental de-struction, arguing that a focus on human numbers not only mis understands the causes of the crisis, it dangerously weakens the movement for real solutions.

No other book challenges modern overpopulation theory so clearly and comprehensively, providing invaluable insights for the layperson and envi-ronmental scholars alike.

By examining “green” products and industries, Green Washed shows why we cannot shop our way to sustainability.

The message that our environment is in peril has fi ltered from environmen-tal groups to the American consciousness to our shopping carts. Every day, millions of Americans dutifully replace conventional produce with organic, swap Mr. Clean for Seventh Generation, and replace their bottled water with water bottles. Many of us have come to believe that the path to environmen-tal sustainability is paved by shopping green. Although this green consumer movement certainly has many Americans consuming diff erently, it raises an important and rarely asked question—“is this consumption really any better for the planet?”

By examining the major economic sectors of our society, including in-frastructure (green housing), consumer goods (green clothing and jewelry), food (the rise of organic), and energy (including solar power and the popu-larity of the hybrid car), Green Washed: Why We Can’t Buy Our Way to a Green Planet ex-plains that, though greener alternatives are important, we cannot simply buy our way to sustainability. Rather, if it is the volume of our consumption that matters, can we as a society dependent on constantly consuming ever be con-tent with buying less?

A new and unique take on green consumption, Green Washed shows how buy-ing better is only the fi rst step toward true sustainability.

Kendra Pierre-Louis is the sustainable development editor for Justmeans.com. She holds a master’s degree in sustainable development from the SIT Graduate Institute in Vermont. She has created outreach material for the United Nations Environment Programme’s Convention on Biological Diversity and worked as a researcher for Terrapin Bright Green, an environ-mental consulting and strategic planning fi rm.

An exposé of “the systematic attempt of business to make us wasteful, debt-ridden, permanently discontented individuals.”

Includes an introduction by Bill McKibben.

An exposé of “the systematic attempt of business to make us wasteful, debt-ridden, permanently discontented individuals,” The Waste Makers is Vance Packard’s pioneering 1960 work on how the rapid growth of disposable con-sumer goods was degrading the environmental, fi nancial, and spiritual char-acter of American society.

The Waste Makers was the fi rst book to probe the increasing commercialization of American life—the development of consumption for consumption’s sake. Packard outlines the ways manufacturers and advertisers persuade consum-ers to buy things they don’t need and didn’t know they wanted, including the two-of-a-kind of everything syndrome—“two refrigerators in every home”—and appeals to purchase something because it is more expensive, or because it is painted in a new color. The book also brought attention to the concept of planned obsolescence, in which a “death date” is built into products so that they wear out quickly and need to be replaced. By manipulating the pub-lic into mindless consumerism, Packard believed that business was making us “more wasteful, imprudent, and carefree in our consuming habits,” which was using up our natural resources at an alarming rate.

A prescient book that predicted the rise of American consumer culture, this all new edition of The Waste Makers features an introduction by best-selling author Bill McKibben.

Vance Packard (1914–1996) was an American journalist, social critic, and best-selling author. Among his other books were The Hidden Persuaders , about how advertisers use psychological methods to get people to buy the prod-ucts they sell; The Status Seekers , which describes American social stratifi cation and behavior; and The Naked Society , about the threats to privacy posed by new technologies.

Your wife is killed by a cashew (anaphylactic shock), but there isn’t time to grieve because your toddler son is always at your heels—wanting to be fed, to be played with, or to sleep next to you all night long. A change of pace seems necessary, so you decide to visit your parents in order to attend your twenty-year high school reunion. What begins as a weekend getaway quickly becomes a theater for dealing with the past—a past that you will have to re-imagine in order to have any hope of a future for you and your son.

Told in second person, A Meaning for Wife is the story of a man trying to come to terms with the sudden death of his wife, the aging parents he has long avoided, and the tribulations of single parenthood.

Mark Yakich is the author of two poetry collections, Unrelated Individuals Forming A Group Waiting to Cross (Penguin Books, 2004) and The Importance of Peeling Potatoes in Ukraine (Penguin Books, 2008). He lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he teaches English at Loyola University.

“This is a terrific story, beautifully written, and completely enthralling.”—Dorothy Allison

In post-Katrina New Orleans, dying wishes can cure cancer, eliminate cats, bring back Elvis (1968 vintage), and turn the clouds orange. Divorced and disgraced up north, Victor hopes to live a carefree, drunken existence in the French Quarter, making capes and corsets and lusting for the girl who lives across the street—until the hysteria surrounding “death wishing” changes his world in ways he never imagined.

Laura Ellen Scott teaches fi ction writing at George Mason University. Her work has been selected for The Wigleaf Top Fifty of 2009 and Barrelhouse maga-zine’s “Futures” issue. She has twice been nominated for Dzanc’s Best of the Web 2010 anthology.

“Barbara Traub fi rst photographed the effi gy of a man set ablaze every year at Burning Man in 1994. Her fi rst shots became the iconic image on her book cover.”—Time

“Barbara Traub made her fi rst trip to Burning Man and she and the rest of the world have never been the same. Over the next decade, Traub became one of the festival’s most prominent photographers [and thus one of its unoffi cial publicists], having her shots from the desert transmitted back to civilization via Mondo 2000, Wired, and numerous other outlets.”—The Onion

“Desert to Dream is an unprecedented photographic record of a decade of Burning Man celebrations. . . . Traub worked on assignment for Wired’s cover story on Burning Man, was chief photographer for HardWired’s book Burning Man . . . and shot for Wired News in 2001 [and 2006].”—Wired.com

This groundbreaking photo collection now features twelve years of Burning Man. In the beginning, it was a display of alternative art. Today it infl uences contemporary culture around the globe. Celebrated photographer Barbara Traub captures the zeitgeist in a cornucopia of amazing structures, ingenious artifacts, and eye-popping costumes.

Contributions from fi lmmaker Les Blank; Burning Man founder Larry Harvey; Star Trek’s Spock, Leonard Nimoy; and poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti help illuminate Traub’s unique perspective on this singular festival that attracts more than fi fty thousand people annually.

11⅛ x 9¼ | 128 pp 70 color photographs


In his photo series German photo artist Thomas Wrede juggles with real-life content versus constructedness in photography construed as a mirror of real-ity. His invented spaces start out as actual views of nature, landscapes, and cit-ies, and are then taken to the threshold of absurdist surrealism and ambiguity. By adding and staging his images with little models, Wrede disturbs our per-ception of reality and the image.

Wrede creates in his photographic worlds room for longings and utopias located somewhere beyond time and space. This catalog covers two of the art-ist’s outstanding photo series in recent years, Real Landscapes and Seascapes .

Thomas Wrede (born 1963) is based in Muenster, Germany, and has won nu-merous German photography awards. Art in America named his seascape photos a highlight of the 2004 Scope art fair in New York.

Chernobyl: once just an old-fashioned town in the Ukraine, one hundred ki-lometers from Kiev, today synonymous with the biggest nuclear disaster in human history. 2011 marks the twenty-fi fth anniversary of the accident that took hundreds of lives and forced thousands of people to leave their homeland.

Award-winning photographer Andrej Krementschouk (winner of the 2010 PDN Photo Annual Award) took several trips to Chernobyl, venturing into the restricted thirty-kilometer zone of alienation around the reactor. He took haunting pictures of the rural landscape, alongside touching portraits of people who refused to leave their homes despite the danger of radiation.

Andrej Krementschouk’s fi rst book, No Direction Home, was a 2010 German Photo Book Award and PDN Photo Annual Award winner. His work has been exhibited at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg; the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; and the Galerie Clara Maria Sels, Dusseldorf.

It explores the recently growing society of the “Nouveau Riche” in which chil-dren are raised to become the “Elite.” Photographing children of Russia’s oli-garchs refl ects the extreme contrast between social hierarchies and touches on the control of family aspirations, ideas of normality, the loss of childhood, and the constant desire for fame.

Anna Skladmann works between New York and Moscow and has exhibited in Europe and the United States. She has been published in The New York Times and BusinessWeek, among others.

Traditionally, the Chinese burn joss paper (ghost money) for their ancestors so that they can enjoy their afterlives. Houses, cars, and gold bars made out of paper were burnt in the weeks following a person’s death. However, in recent times, as consumer culture takes hold of the Chinese culture, joss paper prod-ucts have become more elaborate, refl ecting the desires of those who are alive. In an increasingly westernized society, designer handbags, laptop computers, iPods, and fast food made out of paper are burnt for the recently deceased.

Abul A’la Mawdudi laid down the foundations of modern Islamic economics. Drawing upon Islamic sources, Mawdudi spelled out a new paradigm for eco-nomic analysis and policy, wherein economic pursuits take place in the con-text of moral values and are directed towards the achievement of personal and social objectives. Integral to this approach is the concept of an interest-free economy that attempts to make effi ciency and equity inseparable and inter dependent. The creation and distribution of wealth thus become instru-mental in promoting individual and social wellbeing, opening up pathways to development, social justice, and human welfare. This comprehensive anthol-ogy collects all of his major writings and provides a historic as well as an essen-tial introduction to Islamic economics.

Abul A’la Mawdudi (1903–1979) was a leading Muslim intellectual and a chief architect of the Islamic revival in the twentieth century. In 1941 he founded Jama’at-i-Islami, a political party in Pakistan, which he led until 1972. He au-thored more than a hundred works on Islam, both popular and scholarly, and his writings have been translated into some forty languages.

Looking for love after forty: comic, dark, brassy, intelligent.

Winner of the 2010 Leapfrog Fiction Contest.

“Excellent and lively. A sharp wit, the apt metaphor, the turn of phrase that pleases and surprises.”—Marge Piercy, contest judge

“Bright, brassy, spunky, intelligent. Ingenious writing. . . . Quirky and fi lled with metaphoric twists that often startle.”—Michael Mirolla, contest judge

“Smart, funny, biting, and, above all, touching. A collection to savor over and over.”—Michael White, author of Beautiful Assassin

Praise for Joan Connor’s previous collections:

“Brilliantly quirky wit and wordplay.”—Syndey Lea, author of A Little Wilderness

“A deeply talented writer.”—Alyce Miller, author of Water

“Candor, bracing wit, and skewering insight that could kill if she let it.”—Rosellen Brown, author of Half a Heart

Joan Connor’s collection investigates love and loss, sex, family, and the ways they echo back through memory, sometimes to comfort and sometimes to bite. Some comic, some dark, the stories range from lyrical to laugh-out-loud funny. The title story is a mock self-help manual on how to fall out of love. “Men in Brown” is a rollicking account of a woman infatuated with her UPS man. “Aground” is a dark account of male lust and violence on a lonely is-land in Maine.

Joan Connor is a professor at Ohio University and at Fairfi eld University’s low residency MFA program. She received the AWP award for her collection History Lessons , and the River Teeth Literary Nonfi ction Prize for The World Before Mirrors .

An ancient manuscript and the hidden bones of St. Thomas Becket lead a historian into unexpected danger.

Praise for Mary Malloy’s The Wandering Heart:

“An impressive fi ction debut. . . . Malloy mixes history and fantasy with fl air and delivers a wonderfully satisfying puzzler.”—Publishers Weekly

“A fabulous thriller. . . . A modern psychological tale with strong implications of horror.”—The Bookwatch

“Mystery à la Gothic. . . . Historian Malloy does her research proud.”—Mystery Scene

The second book in the Lizzie Manning trilogy.

Following the path of a medieval pilgrimage, historian Lizzie Manning fi nds unexpected danger. Chaucer may have based his Wife of Bath on a real woman, whose descendant holds certain artifacts, but will the investigation lead to something more sinister? Are the bones of St. Thomas Becket, believed to have been destroyed nearly six hundred years ago, hidden in Canterbury Cathedral, and is someone willing to kill to protect the secret?

Mary Malloy is the author of four maritime history books, including Devil on the Deep Blue Sea , which won the 2006 John Lyman Book Award for best maritime biography. Her fi rst historical mystery The Wandering Heart introduced historian Lizzie Manning. Malloy has a PhD from Brown University and teaches mari-time history at the Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Museum Studies at Harvard University.

SOCIAL SCIENCE / POLITICAL SCIENCE September



Inspired by the likes of Studs Terkle, this book documents the opinions and beliefs of one hundred diverse Americans.

Psychologist Mary M. Clare hit the highways to survey Americans of all ages and backgrounds for their thoughts on the state of the country. Beginning with the prompt, “What does change mean to you?” this book is a journey to listen to the opinions and beliefs that stretch across a nation. Clare scribes with the hope of opening a door for dialogue across our diff erences, allow-ing each of her subjects the space to tell their stories. Each one proves com-pelling in itself, while showing that the concept of change is a shared hallmark of American identity.

Themes come to the foreground via chapter titles and introductions and the result is homegrown defi nitions and ideas based fi rmly in the interests of everyday citizens. In the tradition of Studs Terkel, the book remains true to the people that compose it.

In a time of manic politics and the acute distortion of democracy, this book points back at us—the people of the United States. These one hundred voices call for the radical act of listening to one another. Here is a book that arises di-rectly from the cultural zeitgeist to guide the reclaiming of democracy.

Mary M. Clare, PhD, is the psychological and cultural studies program di-rector at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Her research and scholarship have focused on applications of psychology in schools with par-ticular emphasis on indentifying and correcting institutionalized systems of oppression.

Seemingly an intimate travelog, Níjar Country actually scrutinizes Franco’s rural society, culminating in condemnation, precipitating

Juan Goytisolo’s designation as persona non grata.

“Juan Goytisolo is one of the most rigorous and original contemporary writ-ers.”—Mario Vargas Llosa

“One of the most brilliant of living writers.”— Los Angeles Times

An intimate account of travel in Andalusia during the 1950s, Juan Goytisolo’s early, short narrative grimly revisits the province of Almería, still under Franco’s rule. The critic Ramón Fernández Palmeral writes: “More than a mere travelog, Goytisolo bravely chose to report the social and economic life in the Almería of those Franquista years.” He adds: “Brave, most of all, because by publishing it, even at fi rst in France, Goytisolo risked being sent to jail.”

To this day, the Andalusian tourist bureau highly recommends Níjar Countryfor its keenness and accuracy of observation—human, botanical, linguistic, geographical—so tourists on site and in armchairs may superimpose those still haunting walls graffi tied FRANCO, FRANCO, FRANCO on what Níjar Countryalso indicts as “postcard Spain.”

Juan Goytisolo , Spanish novelist and essayist, was born in Barcelona in 1931. He now lives in Marrakech Morocco. His most famous novels are Marks of Identity (1966), Count Julian (1970), and Juan the Landless (1975), each of which was banned in Spain until after Franco’s death.

98 Wounds contains improbably linked stories re-imagining and reconciling the abject, the outlaw, the ostracized,

and the cranky contrarians among us.

“A gay, punk-rock Chinese American in the age of AIDS, Chin confronts all manner of hypocrisy.”— San Francisco Chronicle

98 Wounds is a series of improbably linked stories that reimagines and recon-ciles the abject, the outlaw, the ostracized, the misfi ts, and the cranky contrar-ians among us.

Gay people have never been as free—or divided—as in today’s society. As the gay majority surges into the mainstream, a social construct has emerged depicting “Good Gays” and “Bad Gays.” Endless mythmaking goes into de-humanizing the Bad.

Barebackers, poz sexpigs, meth-users, sexual libertines, and fetishists have been blamed, shamed, and disdained. Any vicious untruth or loathsome rumor about them—even those contrary to science or common sense—is ac-cepted without question.

The characters populating 98 Wounds run roughshod in a city spiraling to-wards collapse. They broker urgent desires in constant pursuit of identity, obsession, rituals of hope, even the simplicity of an ordinary life. They un-waveringly root for their own understanding of belonging, contentment, pleasure, and love.

In 98 Wounds , either we are all damned, or we are all saved: a sentiment that speaks to all cultures in these uncertain times.

Award-winning writer Justin Chin is the author of six books, including Bite Hard (Manic D Press) and Mongrel (St. Martin’s Press). His works have been widely anthologized. Born in Malaysia, raised and educated in Singapore, shipped to the United States by way of Hawaii, he currently lives in San Francisco, California.

A groundbreaking anthology exploring radical frontiers of love, sex, and relationships within gender-variant experiences .

“This is where sex and gender collide, then ricochet like fragments of heart rending shrapnel. Rarely has a book about lust been full of so much love, con-fl ict, and intelligence. If you think you already know what’s in these stories, or you think you don’t need to know, you’re wrong.”—Patrick Califa, author of Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism

Exploring the crossroads of gender and sexuality, Trans/Love: Radical Sex, Love & Relationships Beyond the Gender Binary off ers unusually engaging narratives that cre-ate a raw and honest depiction of dating, sex, love, and relationships among members of the gender variant community. FTM, MTF, thirdgender, gender-queer, and other non-traditional identities beyond the gender binary of traditional male and female are included in this often heartwarming, occa-sionally heartbreaking, always heartfelt groundbreaking anthology. From monogamous love and marriage to anonymous sex and one-night hook-ups (and everything in between), these stories off er readers insight into the pre-carious emotional and practical mechanics of intimacy among gender- variant experiences.

Features contributions from award-winning authors including Julia Serano, Sassafras Lowery, and Max Valerio, alongside outstanding new writing by Tribe 8 guitarist and acclaimed fi lm director Silas Howard, activist Joelle Ruby Ryan, fi lmmaker Ashley Altadonna, SisterSpit alum Cooper Lee Bombardier, and many other unique and talented voices.

Morty Diamond is the editor of the critically acclaimed anthology From the Inside Out: Radical Gender Transformation, FTM and Beyond . His performance work in-cludes My Year In Pink and Ask A Tranny , a public performance piece on acceptance of and education about the trans experience.

Absurdity abounds when a curious teenage dweeb longing to be cool meets a charismatic Jesus-freak barefoot hippie in 1975 California.

“There will never be a shortage of funny writers, but Alvin Orloff is in an-other category altogether: the stylist. Like Armistead Maupin before him, Orloff knows how to do things with the absurd and the transitory that make a perfect dollhouse for his absurdly huge heart.”—Kevin Killian, author of Impossible Princess

When fourteen-year-old Leonard decides to quit being a Dweeb and instead joins the Burnouts, his “good boy” persona is abandoned as he embarks on a comically painful journey of self-discovery through his unconventional friendship with Rick, an older Jesus-freak barefoot hippie. The farcical par-allel story of how Irving Mandelbaum from Los Angeles transmogrifi es into rag-tag cult leader Rick of The Forever Family paints an indelible portrait of California during one of its most preposterous eras. Growing up in the 1970s has never before been portrayed with such delightful ludicrousness and heart-rending tenderness as in Why Aren’t You Smiling?

Alvin Orloff , a California native, began writing as a teenager in the 1970s, a decade from which he has never fully recovered. He is the author of I Married An Earthling (Manic D Press), a genre and gender-bending sci-fi send up, and Gutter Boys (Manic D Press), a novel of decadent romance with ghosts. Orloff is also the co-author of The Unsinkable Bambi Lake, a transsexual showbiz mem-oir, and his short work has appeared in Pills, Chills, Thrills, and Heartache (Alyson Books) as well as the journal Instant City. He holds an MFA in creative writing from San Francisco State University.

Red-Robed Priestess A Novel

Elizabeth Cunningham

After a long, eventful life that has brought her through slavery to the Resurrection garden, through the controversies of the early Church to a her-mit cave in southern Gaul, Maeve, the Celtic Magdalen, comes full circle. With her daughter Sarah, Maeve returns to the British Isles to seek her fi rst-born daughter taken from her by the druids more than forty years ago. The night before her channel crossing, Maeve encounters a man she fi rst mistakes for Jesus’ ghost. He is equally haunted, and the two are drawn into a moon-struck liaison that will entwine their lives in “an impossible Celtic knot.” He is none other than General Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, the newly appointed Governor of Britain, destined to defeat the Iceni Queen Boudica in one of the bloodiest battles in history.

And Boudica is none other than Maeve’s lost child. Fully accessible to new readers, Red-Robed Priestess will be deeply satisfying

to fans who have accompanied Maeve on her journey, reuniting them with beloved characters from the earlier novels, especially Magdalen Rising. At sixty something, Maeve is as feisty as ever with her distinctive sense of irreverent humor very much intact, but she has also grown—and so has the author. In this fi nal volume of the acclaimed Maeve Chronicles, Elizabeth Cunningham con-fronts a political and emotional complexity that speaks to our times. Maeve’s courageous and compassionate witness of an epic tragedy she cannot prevent will challenge and comfort all of us who have ever faced intractable circum-stances of our own.

The Mulamadhyamakakarika (MMK) was written by Master Någårjuna, an Indian Buddhist philosopher of the second century. Mahåyåna Buddhism had ar-rived at its golden age and Någårjuna was considered its highest authority. The MMK is revered as the most conclusive of his several Buddhist works. Its extra ordinarily precise and simple expression suggests that it was written when Master Någårjuna was mature in his Buddhist practice and research.

In the process of telling her story, she explores our common cultural inheritance of a shame-based sexuality and illuminates the way to healing and wholeness.

This timely book argues that no major movement has ever been successful without counterpower, or the power that the “have-nots” use to remove the power of the “haves.”

Investigating the history and tactics of major movements of the past and to-day’s global justice and human rights movements, Tim Gee demonstrates what works and what doesn’t work. In showing how counterpower can be strategi-cally applied, Gee has created an inspiration for activists and an invaluable re-source for teachers and students of social change.

Economics has failed us . . . but there is life after growth!

Economists insist that recovery is at hand, yet unemployment remains high, real estate values continue to sink, and governments stagger under record defi cits. The End of Growth proposes a startling diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in its economic history. The expansionary trajec-tory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.

Richard Heinberg’s latest landmark work goes to the heart of the ongoing fi nancial crisis, explaining how and why it occurred, and what we must do to avert the worst potential outcomes. Written in an engaging, highly readable style, it shows why growth is being blocked by three factors:

• Resource depletion, • Environmental impacts, and • Crushing levels of debt.

These converging limits will force us to re-evaluate cherished economic theories and to reinvent money and commerce.

The End of Growth describes what policy makers, communities, and families can do to build a new economy that operates within Earth’s budget of energy and resources. We can thrive during the transition if we set goals that promote human and environmental well-being, rather than continuing to pursue the now-unattainable prize of ever-expanding GDP.

Richard Heinberg is the author of nine previous books, including The Party’s Over , Peak Everything , and Blackout . A senior fellow of Post Carbon Institute, Heinberg is one of the world’s foremost peak oil educators and an eff ective communicator of the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels.

How collaborative groups can harness their ideals, passion, skills, and knowledge .

A Transition Town group involved in preparations for peak oil and climate change; an intentional community, founded with the highest ideals; a non-profi t dedicated to social change—millions of such voluntary groups exist around the world. These collaborative organizations have the unique poten-tial to harness their members’ ideals, passions, skills, and knowledge—if they can succeed in getting along together.

The Empowerment Manual is a comprehensive manual for groups seeking to organize with shared power and bottom-up leadership to foster vision, trust, accountability, and responsibility. This desperately needed toolkit provides keys to:

• Understanding group dynamics• Facilitating communication and collective decision-making• Dealing eff ectively with diffi cult people

Drawing on four decades of experience, Starhawk shows how collabora-tive groups can generate the cooperation, effi cacy, and commitment critical to success. Her extensive exploration of group process is woven together with the story of RootBound—a fi ctional ecovillage mired in confl ict—and rounded out with a series of real-life case studies. The included exercises and facili-tator’s toolbox show how to establish the necessary structures, ground rules, and healthy norms. The Empowerment Manual is required reading for anyone who wants to help their group avoid disagreement and disillusionment and be-come a wellspring of creativity and innovation.

Starhawk is the author of eleven previous books including the award- winning Webs of Power . A highly infl uential voice for global justice and the environment, she is deeply committed to bringing the creative power of spiri tuality to po-litical activism.

Permanent agriculture—abundance by design .

The urban landscape has swallowed vast swaths of prime farmland across North America. Imagine how much more self-reliant our communities would be if thirty million acres of lawns were made productive again. Permaculture is a practical way to apply ecological design principles to food, housing, and energy systems, making growing fruits, vegetables, and livestock easier and more sustainable.

The Permaculture Handbook is a step-by-step, beautifully illustrated guide to cre-ating resilient and prosperous households and neighborhoods, complemented by extensive case studies of three successful farmsteads and market gardens. This comprehensive manual casts garden farming as both an economic oppor-tunity and a strategy for living well with less money. It shows how, by mimick-ing the intelligence of nature and applying appropriate technologies such as solar and environmental design, permaculture can:

• Create an abundance of fresh, nourishing local produce • Reduce dependence on expensive, polluting fossil fuels• Drought-proof our cities and countryside• Convert waste into wealth

Permaculture is about working with the earth and with each other to re-pair the damage of industrial overreach and to enrich the living world that sustains us. The Permaculture Handbook is the defi nitive practical North American guide to this revolutionary practice, and is a must-read for anyone concerned about creating food security, resilience, and a legacy of abundance rather than depletion.

Peter Bane is a permaculture teacher and site designer who has published and edited Permaculture Activist magazine for over twenty years. He helped cre-ate Earthaven Ecovillage in North Carolina, and is now pioneering suburban farming in Bloomington, Indiana.

to reduce her toxic body burden.

Most of us turn a blind eye to the startling array of chemicals lurking in every-thing from shampoo to baby bottles to the money in our wallets, choosing to believe that government agencies ensure the safety of the products we wear, use, ingest, and breathe in daily. Yet the standards for product safety in North America lag far behind those of other countries. We frequently hear that a substance we’ve relied on for years turns out to have serious eff ects on our health, the environment, or both.

After coming to terms with the fact that the autism and cancer which had impacted her family were most likely the result of environmental toxins, au-thor Deanna Duke undertook a mission to dramatically reduce her family’s chemical exposure. She committed to drastically reducing the levels of all known chemicals in both her home and work environments, using the help of body burden testing to see what eff ect, if any, she was able to have on the level of toxins in her body.

Follow Deanna’s journey as she uncovers how insidious and invasive envi-ronmental toxins are. Learn about your day-to-day chemical exposure, the im-plications for your health, and what you can do about it. And fi nd out whether the author’s quest is mission impossible, or whether she is ultimately able to improve her family’s health by taking steps towards leading a chemical-free life.

A joyous romp through the fringes of sustainability .

Activists striving for any type of social change often fi nd themselves operating on the fringes of legal and social norms. Many experience diffi culties when their innovative ideas run afoul of antiquated laws and regulations that favor a big business energy- and material-intensive approach. Tales From the Sustainable Underground is packed with the stories of just some of these pioneers—who care more for the planet than the rules—whether they’re engaged in natural build-ing, permaculture, community development, or ecologically based art. Ride along and meet courageous and inspiring individuals such as:

• Solar guru Ed Eaton• Radical urban permaculturists Scott Kellogg and Stacy Pettigrew• Artist, eco-architect, and intuitive builder Matt Bua

Equally entertaining and informative, the profi les in this highly original book provide a unique lens through which to view deeper questions about the societal structures that are preventing us from attaining a more sustain-able world. By examining such issues as the nature of property rights and the function of art in society, the author raises profound questions about how our social attitudes and mores have contributed to our current destructive paradigm.

Tales From the Sustainable Underground is a must-read for sustainability activists in any fi eld, or for anyone who wants to learn about more radical forms of sus-tainability activities in an entertaining way.

Stephen Hren is a restoration carpenter, builder, and teacher who special-izes in sustainable design and passive and active solar heating technologies. He is co-author of The Carbon-Free Home and A Solar Buyer’s Guide for the Home and Offi ce .

Imagine never paying a utility bill again.

Zero energy homes produce at least as much energy as they consume through a combination of energy effi ciencies, passive design, and renewable energy pro-duction. California has adopted zero net energy as the new residential stan-dard for 2020; many other governments are considering similar policies. Developing zero energy homes is the fi rst step towards making all buildings zero energy—a critical step in mitigating climate change, since buildings ac-count for forty percent of material and energy use worldwide.

Home Sweet Zero Energy Home is the fi rst practical guidebook that clearly shows how zero energy homes can be good, livable, aff ordable homes. The author identifi es all the pieces of the zero energy puzzle and how they fall into place, and explains how homeowners and buyers can also take smaller steps towards sharply reducing the energy use of existing buildings. Focusing on real costs and savings, this book takes an in-depth look at:

• Site selection and passive design• Insulation, windows, doors, and building materials• Heating and cooling• Appliances and electronics• Financial resources and incentives

Whether you are a prospective buyer, owner, or developer, Home Sweet Zero Energy Home is your complete guide to creating a more comfortable, effi cient, environmentally friendly home without breaking your back or your bank account.

How to build community, reduce waste, and create affordable, unique homes .

Housing is a fundamental human right. For most of human history, our homes were built by hand from whatever local materials were available. However, since the Industrial Revolution, most housing has become little more than quickly constructed, mass-produced, uniform boxes. At the same time, the invention and standardization of the thirty-year mortgage and our ever- increasing reli-ance on credit has come to mean that most of us never own our homes outright.

Housing Reclaimed is a call to arms for nonconventional home builders. It ex-amines how technological advances, design evolution, and resourceful, out-of-the-box thinking about materials and effi ciency can help us meet the challenge of building aff ordable, environmentally friendly, beautiful, and unique homes. Focusing on the use of salvaged and reclaimed materials, this inspirational vol-ume is packed with case studies of innovative projects including:

• Phoenix Commotion—working together towards low-income home ownership through sweat equity and 100 percent recycled materials

• HabeRae—revitalizing neighborhoods by creating urban infi ll using modern technology and sustainable and reclaimed materials

• Builders of Hope—rescuing and rehabilitating whole houses slated for demolition

These projects and others like them demonstrate that building one’s own home does not have to be an unattainable dream. This beautifully illustrated guide is a must-read for anyone interested in creating quality zero- or low-debt housing, reducing landfi ll waste, and creating stronger communities.

Jessica Kellner is the editor of Natural Home and Garden magazine and a passion-ate advocate of using architectural salvage to create aesthetically beautiful, low-cost housing.

Planning cities as if food matters .

Our reliance on industrial agriculture has resulted in a food supply riddled with hidden environmental, economic, and health care costs and beset by ris-ing food prices. With only a handful of corporations responsible for the lion’s share of the food on our supermarket shelves, we are incredibly vulnerable to supply chain disruption.

The Urban Food Revolution provides a recipe for community food security based on leading innovations across North America. The author draws on his politi-cal and business experience to show that we have all the necessary ingredients to ensure that local, fresh, sustainable food is aff ordable and widely available. He describes how cities are bringing food production home by:

• Growing community through neighborhood gardening, cooking, and composting programs

• Rebuilding local food processing, storage, and distribution systems• Investing in farmers markets and community supported agriculture• Reducing obesity through local fresh food initiatives in schools,

colleges, and universities.• Ending inner-city food deserts

Producing food locally makes people healthier, alleviates poverty, creates jobs, and makes cities safer and more beautiful. The Urban Food Revolution is an es-sential resource for anyone who has lost confi dence in the global industrial food system and wants practical advice on how to join the local food revolution.

Peter Ladner has served two terms as a Vancouver city councilor. With more than thirty-fi ve years of journalistic experience, he is a frequent speaker on community issues and has a special interest in the intersection of food policy and city planning.

Dive into home aquaponics with this defi nitive do-it-yourself guide.

Aquaponics is a revolutionary system for growing plants by fertilizing them with the waste water from fi sh in a sustainable closed system. A combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, aquaponic gardening is an amazingly pro-ductive way to grow organic vegetables, greens, herbs, and fruits, while pro-viding the added benefi ts of fresh fi sh as a safe, healthy source of protein. On a larger scale, it is a key solution to mitigating food insecurity, climate change, groundwater pollution, and the impacts of overfi shing on our oceans.

Aquaponic Gardening is the defi nitive do-it-yourself home manual, focused on giving you all the tools you need to create your own aquaponic system and enjoy healthy, safe, fresh, and delicious food all year round. Starting with an overview of the theory, benefi ts, and potential of aquaponics, the book goes on to explain:

• System location considerations and hardware components• The living elements—fi sh, plants, bacteria, and worms • Putting it all together—starting and maintaining a healthy system

Aquaponics systems are completely organic. They are four to six times more productive and use ninety percent less water than conventional gardens. Other advantages include no weeds, fewer pests, and no watering, fertiliz-ing, bending, digging, or heavy lifting—in fact, there really is no downside! Anyone interested in taking the next step towards self-suffi ciency will be fas-cinated by this practical, accessible, and well-illustrated guide.

Sylvia Bernstein is the president and founder of The Aquaponic Source. An internationally recognized expert on aquaponic gardening, Sylvia speaks, writes, and blogs extensively about this revolutionary technique.

HOUSE & HOME October



eBook ISBN: 978-1-55092-490-9 W

An old-fashioned approach to modern homesteading—no farm required.

Our food system is dominated by industrial agriculture and has become eco-nomically and environmentally unsustainable. The incidence of diet-related diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and heart disease, has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. Whether you have forty acres and a mule or a condo with a balcony, you can do more than you think to safeguard your health, your money, and the planet.

Homegrown and Handmade shows how making things from scratch and growing at least some of your own food can help you eliminate artifi cial ingredients from your diet, reduce your carbon footprint, and create a more authentic life. Whether your goal is increasing your self-reliance or becoming a full-fl edged homesteader, it’s packed with answers and solutions to help you:

• Take control of your food supply from seed to plate• Raise small and medium livestock for fun, food, and fi ber• Rediscover traditional skills to meet more of your family’s needs than

you ever thought possible

This comprehensive guide to food and fi ber from scratch proves that at-titude and knowledge is more important than acreage. Written from the per-spective of a successful self-taught modern homesteader, this well illustrated, practical, and accessible manual will appeal to anyone who dreams of a sim-pler life.

Deborah Niemann is a homesteader, writer, and self-suffi ciency expert who presents extensively on topics including soapmaking, bread baking, cheese-making, composting, and homeschooling. She and her family raise sheep, pigs, cattle, goats, chickens, and turkeys for meat, eggs, and dairy prod-ucts, while an organic garden and orchard provides fruit and vegetables.

The essential guide to understanding and confronting institutionalized racism—now completely revised and updated .

In 2008 the United States elected its fi rst black president, and recent polls show that only twenty-two percent of white people in the United States believe that racism is a major societal problem. On the surface, it may seem to be in decline. However, the evidence of discrimination persists throughout our so-ciety. Segregation and inequalities in education, housing, health care, and the job market continue to be the norm. Post 9/11, increased insecurity and fear have led to an epidemic of the scapegoating and harassment of people of color.

Uprooting Racism off ers a framework for understanding institutional racism. It provides practical suggestions, tools, examples, and advice on how white people can intervene in interpersonal and organizational situations to work as allies for racial justice. Completely revised and updated, this expanded third edition directly engages the reader through questions, exercises, and sugges-tions for action, and takes a detailed look at current issues such as affi rmative action, immigration, and health care. It also includes a wealth of information about specifi c cultural groups such as Muslims, people with mixed heritage, Native Americans, Jews, recent immigrants, Asian Americans, and Latinos.

Previous editions of Uprooting Racism have sold more than fi fty thousand cop-ies. Accessible, personal, supportive, and practical, this book is ideal for stu-dents, community activists, teachers, youth workers, and anyone interested in issues of diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice.

Paul Kivel is an award-winning author and an accomplished trainer and speaker. He has been a social justice activist, a nationally and internationally recognized anti-racism educator, and an innovative leader in violence preven-tion for over forty years.

A powerful and insightful critique of modern techno-optimism .

Nanotechnology! Genetic engineering! Miracle drugs! We are promised that new technological developments will magically save us from the dire con-sequences of the three hundred-year fossil-fueled binge known as modern industrial civilization, without demanding any fundamental changes in our behavior. There is a pervasive belief that technological innovation will enable us to continue our current lifestyle indefi nitely, and will prevent social, envi-ronmental, and economic collapse.

Techno-Fix shows that negative unintended consequences of technol-ogy are inherently unavoidable and predictable, techno-optimism is com-pletely unjustifi ed, and modern technology, in the presence of continued economic growth, does not promote sustainability, but hastens collapse. The authors demonstrate that most technological solutions to social and technol-ogy created problems are ineff ective. They explore the reasons for the uncriti-cal acceptance of new technologies, show who really controls the direction of technological change, and then advocate extensive reform.

This comprehensive exposé is a powerful argument for why we can and should put the genie back in the bottle. An insightful and powerful cri-tique, it is required reading for anyone who is concerned about blind techno- optimism and believes that the time has come to make science and technology more socially and environmentally responsible.

Michael Huesemann, PhD , is a research scientist with a special interest in sustainability and critical science. He has specialized in environmental bio-technology for more than twenty-fi ve years.

Joyce Huesemann, PhD , is an activist and academic who has taught at several universities and participates actively in a number of environmental, wildlife protection, and companion-animal organizations.

Preparing for a future of economic contraction .

The fi nancial crisis that has blighted the world’s richest countries since 2008 was a turning point in human history because it ushered in an era in which economies will tend to shrink rather than grow. Incomes will decline because the natural resources required for growth—particularly oil, the lifeblood of the world economy—can no longer be extracted in growing quantities. Indeed, as this book shows, the fi nancial crash itself was due to an irresistible force—the rising global demand for cheap fossil fuels—meeting an immoveable object—a static supply.

Fleeing Vesuvius is a collection of twenty-seven essays by well-known interna-tional authors, all leading thinkers in their fi elds. Luminaries such as David Korowicz, Richard Douthwaite, Nate Hagen, Dmitry Orlov, and Dan Sullivan weave together the threads of peak oil, resource depletion, economic instabil-ity, and climate change, and off er far-reaching solutions including:

• Concrete strategies for personal adaptation• Workable models of self-reliant local communities• Frameworks to support international action on fi nancial and economic

reform

Timely, practical, and fundamentally optimistic, Fleeing Vesuvius is a must-read for anyone concerned with reducing our risk of environmental and so-cietal collapse.

Gillian Fallon is a writer, journalist, and editor with a particular interest in food security and systems thinking.

Richard Douthwaite is an economist, journalist, and author specializing in energy, climate, and sustainability issues.

Provocative essays that challenge our understanding of Western history.

Praise for Touraj Daryaee’s Sasanian Persia :

“Touraj Daryaee’s Sasanian Persia . . . is a masterpiece of research and will be that last word on Sasanian Iran in all of its aspects, from political history to religion, society, and commerce.”—Richard N. Frye, professor emeritus of Iranian studies, Harvard University

Renowned historian Touraj Daryaee ignites a controversial debate over what it means to be Western. Through a collection of introspective and provocative essays, Daryaee challenges us to rethink much of what we learned in history class, from the idea that ancient Greece was a “Western country” to the justi-fi cations used to engage in wars today. The Myth of Western Civilization is a journey of intellectual discovery, showing us how our cultural identity was created and what purpose it continues to serve.

Touraj Daryaee is Howard Baskerville professor in the history of Iran and the Persianate world and associate director of the Dr. Samuel M. Jordan Center for Persian Studies at the University of California, Irvine. He works on the history of ancient and early medieval Iran, and is the editor of the International Journal of Ancient Iranian Studies . His book Sasanian Persia: The Rise and Fall of an Empire was awarded the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BSMES) book prize.

The fi rst volume of Fidel Castro’s long-awaited memoirs describing the two-year guerrilla war against the Batista dictatorship.

Here at last is the fi rst volume in Fidel Castro’s long-awaited memoir, a proj-ect he has been working on since he retired from public offi ce in 2006.

Opening with an extensive chapter on his childhood and youth, this is Fidel Castro’s never-before-published account of the guerrilla movement that led to the Cuban revolution in 1959. Besides being a lively and absorbing memoir and the most authoritative history of the period, this is also destined to be a classic of military history.

A keen student of great military tacticians, Fidel Castro led three hundred young guerrillas who pitted themselves against General Fulgencio Batista’s ten thousand troops that were supported and trained by the United States.

Including 270 pages of photographs and color maps, as well as facsimiles of key documents, this is an unprecedented source of documentary material. Among some of the most fascinating documents in this book is the unpub-lished correspondence between Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.

This book should be read in conjunction with Che Guevara’s memoir of this period: Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War (Ocean Press), on which Steven Soderbergh based the fi rst part of his epic movie Che , starring Benicio del Toro.

A must-read for those who want to understand Cuba then and now and the fi fty-year confl ict between the island and its mighty neighbor.

Che Guevara and leading Marxist economists discuss political economy and the challenges of the revolutionary

transformation of a capitalist society.

“This debate has a special place in the history of Marxist thought.”—Ernest Mandel, author of Marxist Economic Theory and Late Capitalism

In the post-Soviet era, what is the relevance of Marxist economics? In the early years following the 1959 Cuban revolution, Ernesto Che Guevara initi-ated an unprecedented and highly controversial debate on the economic chal-lenges of the “transition to socialism.”

Without making it explicit, the model Che proposed for Cuba was clearly counterposed to what existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, of which he was highly critical.

Internationally prominent Marxist economists such as Ernest Mandel and Charles Bettelheim participated in what became known as “The Great Debate.” This historic debate is now published in English with recent commentaries by current day Marxist economists off ering a unique resource for a new genera-tion discussing alternatives to capitalism.

The publication of this book is particularly timely as Cuba today confronts an economic crisis and seeks to make dramatic changes to its economic sys-tem. This book adds an entirely new dimension to Che Guevara, beyond the young adventurer on a motorcycle or as a guerrilla icon, as a profound student of economic theory and practice.

Although trained as a doctor, Ernesto Che Guevara assumed two key posts after the 1959 revolution as Minister for Industry and President of the National Bank. In those roles he took primary responsibility to industrialize Cuba and transform its economy and immediately immersed himself in the study of political economy.

Ruth Stone’s award-winning poems captured on a rare and inspiring CD recording of her reading from two groundbreaking collections.

Look to the Future presents ninety-six-year-old Ruth Stone, National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award–winning poet, in a rare “salon” recording of NBCC Award–winning Ordinary Words with Simplicity (the collec-tion that many of Stone’s most ardent admirers consider her “perfect” book). The CD includes a moving new introduction by Ruth Stone’s beloved grand-daughter, poet Bianca Stone. Capturing the world of Stone’s “Poetry House,” Look to the Future off ers the multidimensional genius, originality, and beauty of Ruth Stone—in her own voice, as she reads her favorite poems from both vol-umes, with a fi nch occasionally singing beside her.

Ruth Stone is the author of thirteen books of poetry, including the Pulitzer Prize fi nalist What Love Comes To: New and Selected Poems , National Book Award–winning In the Next Galaxy , National Book Critics Circle Award–winning Ordinary Words , and Simplicity . She is recipient of the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets, the Shelley Memorial Award, the Cerf Lifetime Achievement Award, a Whiting Award, and others. Stone is professor emeri-tus of poetry at Binghamton University. She lives in Vermont, where she re-cently served as Poet Laureate.

Bianca Stone , Ruth Stone’s granddaughter, is a poet and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York. She is the creator of the Ladder Poetry Reading Series in New York City, an editor at Monk Books, and the author of the chapbook Someone Else’s Wedding Vows and the blog Poetry Comics.

Sit in the jury box, then observe the deliberations, as Norma Thompson takes you inside a real-life murder trial.

“Part detective story, part social commentary, part intellectual autobiography, part philosophical analysis, this is a jury book unlike any other.”—Anthony Kronman, Sterling Professor of Law and former dean, Yale Law School

“[Norma Thompson] teaches us, brilliantly and painlessly, why judging, as opposed to simply knowing, is an essential part of a responsible human exis-tence, recounting the trials and crimes and moral dilemmas of antiquity and classical tradition in a stunningly original reading.”—Abraham D. Sofaer, se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution and former United States district judge

In 2001, Norma Thompson served on the jury in a murder trial in New Haven, Connecticut. In Unreasonable Doubt , Thompson dramatically depicts the jury’s deliberations, which ended in a deadlock. As foreperson, she pondered the behavior of some of her fellow jurors that led to the trial’s termination in a hung jury. Blending personal memoir, social analysis, and literary criticism, she addresses the evasion of judgment she witnessed during deliberations and relates that evasion to contemporary political, social, and legal aff airs. She then assembles an imaginary jury of Alexis de Tocqueville, Plato, and Jane Austen, among others, to show how the writings of these authors can help model responsible habits of deliberation.

Norma Thompson is senior lecturer in humanities and associate director of the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale University. She is the author most re-cently of The Ship of State: Statecraft and Politics from Ancient Greece to Democratic America .

“A serene, lucid, and stylish essay in intellectual autobiography that at the same time commemorates a vanished world.”— The Times Literary Supplement

From Berlin to Jerusalem portrays the dual dramas of the author’s total break from his middle-class German Jewish family and his ever-increasing dedication to the study of Jewish thought. Played out during the momentous years just be-fore, during, and after World War I, these experiences eventually led Gersham Scholem to immigrate to Palestine in 1923.

Gershom Scholem was professor of Jewish mysticism at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem until his death in 1982.

Essays, letters, and articles written by the distinguished Jewish

scholar over a fi fty-year period. Includes three essays on Walter Benjamin.

“Gershom Scholem is a historian who has remade the world. . . . He is com-ing to be seen as one of the greatest shapers of contemporary thought, pos-sibly the boldest mind-adventurer of our generation.”—Cynthia Ozick, The New York Times Book Review

On Jews and Judaism in Crisis presents Gershom Scholem confronting, studying, and judging the important ideas, events, and fi gures of twentieth-century Judaism. It includes essays on Martin Buber, S. Y. Agnon, and Scholem’s friend Walter Benjamin; also his famous 1964 letter to Hannah Arendt. In a 1975 interview, Scholem provides fascinating information about his own life.

“The title essay . . . is a miniature masterpiece, one of the most seminal writings of our time on Plato’s Republic.”—John Sallis

“It is a wonder and a delight to be led by Eva Brann through the Socratic con-versations. She begins from fi rst impressions and moves through perplexity to clarity, without losing the thread. Those who do not know the Republic , will be initiated into its treasures. Those who believe that it is a great book will understand better what they already know. And all who teach the dialogues will fi nd their souls expanded in the presence of this most generous teacher.”—Ann Hartle, Emory University

In this collection of essays, Eva Brann talks with readers about the conversa-tions Socrates has with his fellow Athenians. She shows how Plato’s dialogues and the timeless matters they address remain important to us today. From in-troductory pieces on the Republic , the Phaedo , and the Sophist to an account of the less well known Charmides , each essay starts where Plato starts, without pre-supposing a critical theory. In the title essay’s brilliant account of the Republic , Brann demonstrates its central importance in Plato’s work. Other essays con-sider Plato’s notion of time, discuss how to teach Plato to undergraduates, and contend that a thoughtful text-based study of Plato can have a very personal impact on a reader. Encouraged to befriend the dialogues, readers will join in the great Socratic conversations.

Eva Brann is a member of the senior faculty at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland, where she has taught for more than fi fty years.

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / PSYCHOLOGY October



eBook ISBN: 978-1-934170-28-1 USC

A gifted young writer heals her soul from devastating and sadistic brand of schizophrenia.

With the skill of a gifted novelist, twenty-three-year-old Whitney Robinson recounts the harrowing true story of her descent into mental illness soon after she arrived at college. Her doctor labeled the illness schizophrenia, but Whitney felt that she became possessed by a malevolent, seductive entity that attempted to infl uence her into harming herself and others.

Institutionalized and heavily medicated, Whitney encounters other hor-rors and mysteries within the walls of a psychiatric hospital. Determined to release herself from pharmacological shackles, Whitney fi nally confronts and expels her demon through sheer will and alternative methods, including an attempted exorcism and shamanic healing.

Whitney’s saga parallels current discussions in the media regarding Ameri-can psychiatry’s dependence on drug-based treatments and the renewed in-terest in alternative healing methods of eastern and indigenous cultures, which, according to a recent New York Times article “The Americanization of Mental Illness,” have been revealed to be at least as eff ective as pharmaceuti-cally driven treatments.

Whitney’s story of survival and personal growth will serve as a living model for others on radio and television programs.

“You have no choice but to read this important book.”—Hanif Kureishi

We are encouraged from all sides to view our lives as being full of choices. Like the products on a supermarket shelf, our careers, our relationships, our bod-ies, our very identities seem to be there for the choosing. But paradoxically, this seeming freedom to choose can create extreme anxiety and feelings of in-adequacy. Choice explores how late capitalism’s shrill exhortations to “be one-self” can be a tyranny which only leads to ever-greater disquiet.

Why do children do the things they do? What can teachers do to manage it all? While there is not a simple method for understanding and managing all be-haviors or all children, teachers can give young children the social and emo-tional tools needed to grow and thrive on their own. Developed and tested in the classroom, Beyond Behavior Management is a strength-based approach to guid-ing and managing young children’s behavior by helping them build and use essential life skills—attachment, collaboration, self-regulation, adaptability, contribution, and belonging—into the daily life of the early childhood class-room. As a result, children will learn to exhibit more pro-social behaviors, work better as a community, and become excited and active learners.

This edition includes two new chapters and content refl ecting early learn-ing standards, new research, cultural diversity, and strategies to strengthen the home-school connection. Discussion and reflection questions, exer-cises, journal assignments, child profi le templates, a planning worksheet, and sample scripts are also included.

published for the fi rst time in book form.

“Whatever the subjects . . . Halliday’s knowledge, imagination, and intellec-tual independence illuminate them all.”—Francis Wheen

“Fred Halliday’s Political Journeys range over wide intellectual and political land-scapes, with brilliant insights, absorbing narratives, lucid writing, and subtle humour.”—Sami Zubaida

Fred Halliday always combined the broad sweep of modern history, its cur-rents and ideas, with a profound knowledge of modern revolutions, the Middle East, and national movements. This collection of articles written for openDemocracy between 2004 and 2009 is proof of a subtle worldview that continues to generate questions: what is the relation between religion, nationalism, and progress? Is a new international order possible? When is inter vention a force for progress?

From the big headline topics like the Iraq War or the Danish cartoons, to the unexpected comparisons of Tibet and Palestine, or Afghanistan and the Falklands, Halliday is a perennially surprising and enlightening guide to the major issues of international politics.

Fred Halliday (1946–2010) was a leading authority on superpower relations, the Middle East, and international relations theory. He was professor emeri-tus of international relations at the London School of Economics from 1985 to 2008 and a research professor at the Barcelona Institute for International Studies.

An engaging novel about Egyptian society, and, at its heart, the broken relationship between mother and illegitimate daughter.

“More than any other woman, Nawal El Saadawi has come has come to em-body the trials of Arab feminism.”— San Francisco Chronicle

“The leading spokeswoman on the status of women in the Arab World.”— Guardian

“El Saadawi writes with directness and passion.”—The New York Times

Bodour, a distinguished literary critic, carries with her a dark secret. As a young university student, she fell in love with a political activist and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, Zeina, whom she abandoned on the streets of Cairo.

Zeina grows up to become one of Egypt’s most beloved entertainers, de-spite being deprived of a family name and a home. Bodour in turn remains trapped in a loveless marriage, pining for her daughter and lost love. In an at-tempt to fi nd solace, she writes a fi ctionalized account of her life, which then mysteriously gets stolen.

Set against the backdrop of revolution in Cairo, Zeina is a tale about regret, loss, and the courage it takes for a mother to face up to the mistakes of her past.

Nawal El Saadawi is an internationally renowned Egyptian writer, femi-nist, and psychiatrist. Her works have been translated into more than thirty languages.

A landmark anthology of the fi nest literature produced by Arab writers from the past 1,500 years.

The Literary Heritage of the Arabs samples some of the fi nest literature produced by Arab writers across the past 1,500 years. The selection of poetry and prose spans virtually all genres and styles, conveying the full range of Arab experi-ence and perspectives on the myriad circumstances of life—from the tragic to the comic, the wistful to the mystical, the courtly to the lowly, and the Arab East to Andalusia.

The reader of this anthology will become aware of the extent to which this vibrant and distinctive literary heritage has always been both receptive to the currents from neighboring cultures and infl uential in the evolution of these other venerable literary traditions, from South Asia to Western Europe and beyond. Thus, the reader will also come to discover, behind the local color and literary convention, our common humanity.

Authors included are Al-Mutanabbi, Al-Ghazzali, Ibn Arabi, Ibn Battuta, Ibn Khaldun, Kahlil Gibran, Taha Hussein, Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmoud Darwish, Adonis, Salma, Khadra al-Jayyusi, Fudwa Tuqan, and Nizar Qabbani.

Suheil Bushrui is a distinguished author, poet, critic, and translator, particu-larly revered as an authority on the works of W.B. Yeats and Kahlil Gibran. He is a senior research scholar at the Center for International Development and Confl ict Management at the University of Maryland.

Parastou Forouhar’s work has a great emotional range, from the macabre to the darkly humorous and the often purely joyful.

“Her response to the horrors of our times gives her work pupose and en-ergy. . . . In her depiction of everyday mental and physical brutality, she cre-ates images of aesthetic appeal but disturbing ambiguity.”—Lutz Becker

The Iranian artist Parastou Forouhar expresses her reaction to the perplexing situations in her homeland through a wide variety of techniques, from pho-tography to digital drawings and multi-media installations.

This publication presents a selection of her most startling work so far, cre-ated in response to the dramatic social and political upheaval that she expe-rienced after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the murder of her parents in Tehran.

Though the inspiration behind Forouhar’s subject matter may be tragic, her work has a great emotional range: the results are sometimes macabre, oc-casionally darkly humorous, and often purely joyful.

Parastou Forouhar was born in 1962 in Tehran, and since 1991 has lived and worked in Germany. She received her BA in art from the University of Tehran (1990) and her MA from the Hochschule für Gestaltung Off enbach am Main, Germany (1994).

The hajj , the fi fth pillar of Islam, is a religious duty to be performed once in a lifetime by all Muslims who are able. The Prophet Muhammad set out the rit-uals of hajj when he led what became known as the Farewell Hajj in 10 AH (632 AD). This set the seal on Muhammad’s career as the founder of a religion and the leader of a political entity based on that religion.

The convergence of the Prophet with the politician infuses the hajj with political, as well as religious, signifi cance. For the caliphs who led the Islamic community after Muhammad’s death, leadership of the hajj became a posi-tion of enormous political relevance as it presented them with an unrivaled opportunity to proclaim their pious credentials and reinforce their political legitimacy.

This unique study analyzes information provided by contemporary sources about the leadership of the hajj in Islam’s formative period, between the seventh and tenth centuries, and assesses the pilgrimage from a political perspective.

Published in advance of a major British Museum exhibition, The Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam , opening in London in January 2012.

M.E. McMillan earned a PhD in Islamic history at the University of St Andrews, and has worked for the UN Security Council as a translator. The author lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The New Post-Oil Arab Gulf Managing People and Wealth

Edited by Nabil Sultan, David Weir, and Zeinab Karake-Shalhoub

The sharp increase in oil revenues since 2002 has left the Arab Gulf States with billions of petro-dollars. But how will these countries fare in the post-oil era? The rulers of these states are taking serious measures to ensure the survival of their economies, and indeed their regimes, in a world with scarce mineral resources.

This book explores the extent to which these countries have been and will be able to prepare for the future by transforming themselves into seri-ous international destinations for tourism, fi nance, healthcare, and educa-tion. It also considers the implications of failure for the future survival of their regimes.

Topics covered include sovereign funds, Islamic fi nance, new technolo-gies, higher education, and the role of women.

A timely study into this vibrant and important region, this book will pro-vide food for thought for academics, policy makers, and general readers.

Nabil Sultan is a senior lecturer at Liverpool Hope University.

David Weir is a professor at Liverpool Hope University.

Zeinab Karake-Shalhoub is director of research at the Dubai International Financial Centre in the United Arab Emirates.

Lyric essays that examine the smallest things imaginable—beach glass, the color “gunmetal,” a mushroom—as well as states of being .

Praise for Lia Purpura:

“Lia Purpura is fi erce. She creates a kind of word origami, folding phonemes and inquiries into intricate paper delights. Then she holds a magnifying glass over them, focusing her rapturous attentions through the lens, until twists of smoke appear, and geometries of fl ame and sparks rain. If language is, as she suggests in one essay, ‘a game we all [agree] to play,’ then Purpura is at once a master of the game and a soulful, wild playmate.”—Leah Hager Cohen

“Purpura’s sense of the intricate rhythms of language, her carefully con-structed imagery, her leaps of association and symbols all recall the language of a poet. Her seductive, confessional voice, her need to be plain about her own experiences as a mother, a writer, and an observer of the world call to mind the works of the memoirist. And her fi nely tuned critical mind . . . suggest[s] the work of the critic and aesthetic philospher. . . . In these essays, Lia Purpura brings a nuanced, highly intelligent, critical eye to our most ca-sual moments of perception.”—Kevin Prufer, Critical Mass

In Rough Likeness , the follow-up to the National Book Critics Circle fi nalist On Looking , Lia Purpura’s essays take a conversational turn to examine the small-est things imaginable—beach glass, the color “gunmetal,” a mushroom—as well as states of b eing . Czesław Miłosz said, “nothing but gifts on this poor, poor earth,” and Purpura, in her excursions, fi nds worlds in the minute, crafting monuments to sentience.

978-1-936747-05-4 USC Michael J. Lee writes like a redneck Samuel Beckett, sketching

dystopias of life along the margins in contemporary New Orleans.

“I was drawn to Michael J. Lee’s line-up of loners and drifters, imperiled chil-dren, and haunted psychos neither because I want to hang out with these bad boys, nor because I plan to cross the street when I see them coming, but be-cause the invitation to inhabit their minds, to see the world through their eyes, and to watch their often unsettling stories play out in space and time enables Lee to do all sorts of extremely interesting things with consciousness and language.”—Francine Prose, judge for the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction

These are hyper-stylized fables of exiles—under bridges, holed up in bars before the hurricane hits, and cast among the uncomprehending innocent. Linking back to an eighteenth century grammar of predestination and for-ward to a twenty-fi rst century resignation to forces beyond our understand-ing, Something in My Eye makes visible those we’d rather not see, according them all the tenderness the world withholds. Winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction.

Michael J. Lee lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he earns his living as a typist, waiter, and nightclub singer. A frequent contributor to Conjunctions,he is also an associate fi ction editor at the New Orleans Review . He is at work on a novel.

Praise for Sallie Bingham:

“Sallie Bingham binds her collection together with sheer talent. The title novella is absolutely fi rst-rate—a skillfully suggestive amalgam of Katherine Mansfi eld and Eudora Welty. This same unblinking gaze is hard at work on the essential weakness and dependence of men (‘The Banks of the Ohio’ and ‘The Ice Party’), the illusion of freedom that comes with divorce (‘Bare Bones’), and the desperate terror of adolescent love (‘Winter Term’).”—James R. Frakes, The New York Times Book Review

“Sallie Bingham’s characters scrutinize their relationships with children, lov-ers, and their own treacherous souls. . . . Nearly every one of these fl inty sto-ries is a tiny masterpiece.”— Entertainment Weekly

“Hardened but not compromised by adult life, these luminous stories . . . fea-ture narrators who fi nd mature, often solitary forms of reckoning, and even happiness. . . . There is not a false note in Bingham’s striking collection.”— Publishers Weekly , starred review

“These engaging tales span landscape, gender, and age, and readers will trea-sure Bingham’s strikingly perceptive composition and refi ned, clever fl ashes of detail and clarity.”— Booklist

Sallie Bingham published her fi rst novel with Houghton Miffl in in 1961. Since then she has published four collections of short stories, four novels, and a memoir. She was book editor for The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, and has been a director of the National Book Critics Circle. She is the founder of The Kentucky Foundation for Women.

POLITICAL SCIENCE / SOCIAL SCIENCE March



In a world proclaimed post-racial, do black bootstrap politics defang demands for equity, or mobilize energy to attain it?

We can do it ourselves, yes we can! If we go fl uorescent and pull up our boots (along with our pants), we can prevent global warming, halt the cradle to prison pipeline, even outwit global capital. We are DIY. And have to be; it’s clear the government won’t do it for us.

Such is the rallying cry taken up, both in earnest and tongue-in-cheek, by organizers, activists, and politicians of many stripes. Such also is the rheto-ric of those who preach racial uplift, among whose boosters are NPR’s Tavis Smiley, black megachurches, and the iconic Bill Cosby. It’s this tradition that Stand Up! The Shifting Politics of Racial Uplift interrogates.

Bound for controversy, Stand Up! rigorously examines the re-emergence of racial uplift politics, identifying its possibilities and its paradoxes: Have the new advocates of self-help—including but not limited to those championing “the politics of respectability”—been able to transcend the anti- democratic politics, class elitism, misogyny, and homophobia that have often plagued such movements? Moreover, can politics with allies like Wal-Mart truly pro-mote social justice? How and why have corporate and governmental insti-tutions jumped on this bandwagon? Does a politics preaching self-reliance inherently further politically and economically conservative aims?

Ultimately, Stand Up! reveals where help helps and where it hurts, so that all those invested in collective uplift can demand policies that democratize power and wealth, instead of being satisfi ed with black fi rsts and post-race millionaires.

Kenyon Farrow , the co-editor of Letters from Young Activists, is a founding board member of FIERCE.

978-0-89608-799-6 USC

Sensual and revelatory, this groundbreaking memoir reveals what normally goes unseen as boys are made into men—and at what cost.

Tim’m T. West has been hailed by James Earl Hardy for “merging the fl oetry of Jay-Z and Nikki Giovanni” and by Jan Clausen for “[carrying] forward Audre Lorde’s practice of poetry as the ‘light by which we scrutinize our lives.’”

Now an underground classic, Red Dirt Revival introduced a stunning talent in the tradition of poet-truthtellers such as Audre Lorde, Cherríe Moraga, and Adrienne Rich, and helped build Tim’m T. West’s loyal fan base among music lovers, academics, poets, activists, and anyone who has experienced alienation even in the place they call home. A Gen-X remix of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man , it tells the story of a burgeoning artist growing up poor, black, and queer in the rural south, and coming of age in the halls of feminist academe and the world of underground hip hop. In a voice that trembles with both vul-nerability and swagger, West’s sharply observed memoir is charged with love, anger, eroticism, betrayal, forgiveness, and more love still, and demands that we radically expand our notions of what critical theory and liberation might look like.

Like fragments from a radical notebook or a broken heart that refuses to stop beating, Red Dirt Revival disinters—from “commonsense” understand-ings of how men are made from boys—the senseless violence that patriarchal visions of gender, race, sexuality, family, and the world requires. Now in an expanded, critical tenth-anniversary edition, this important contribution to feminist thought reads like a working artist’s lyric journal, all while bearing the terror, grace, and radical imagination of an entire generation.

Tim’m T. West is a nationally recognized writer, emcee, poet, educator, and POZ activist. Co-founder of the acclaimed hip hop group Deep Dickollective, which helped launch the homo hop movement, West is the author of three books and has released three solo albums, including Songs of Red Dirt .

A searching work of poetic and political vision by one of the most respected writers of our time, now available in Spanish.

“Vulnerable and wise, [ The Last Generation ] sets us yearning with the author ‘to be fully known and loved.’”— Library Journal

“I adore Cherríe Moraga’s work. . . . She is absolutely essential.”—Junot Díaz

At last available to US audiences in Spanish, Cherríe Moraga’s classic work La última generación (The Last Generation) is an electric mix of prose and poetry that continues conversations started in the beloved books This Bridge Called My Backand Loving in the War Years . Highly politicized and intensely personal, Moraga’s work dares to imagine the mythic nation Queer Atzlán: a brave vision for gen-der, sexuality, race, art, nationalism, and the politics of liberation.

Moraga crosses literary genres to ruminate on the paradox of being at once inside and outside the myriad struggles and communities—interlocking and often at odds—that spur her art and activism. Speaking from her experience as a queer Chicana activist/artist, Moraga is committed to building a broad poli-tic of solidarity and justice for all dispossessed people.

With fi erce honesty and incisive political analysis, Moraga off ers more than an inspiring portrait of the struggle of an activist artist—she helps us see the world as it is and dream it up anew.

One of the most infl uential feminist thinkers of her generation, Cherríe Moraga is the award-winning author of Loving in the War Years and co-editor, with Gloria Anzaldúa, of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color . A renowned playwright, Moraga is currently artist-in-residence at Stanford University.

TalonbooksVancouver, Canada

Talon was founded as a high-school poetry magazine in Vancouver in 1963, moving to the University of British Columbia with its graduating students in 1965. By 1967, Talon Magazine had published the fi rst works of so many young writers, it decided to become their book publisher.

Starting with poetry, including the fi rst book (Sticks & Stones) of Canada’s fi rst poet laureate George Bowering, Talonbooks diversifi ed into drama with Beverley Simons’ Crabdance, George Ryga’s The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, and James Reaney’s Colours in the Dark in 1969; into fi ction with Jane Rule’s Desert of the Heart and Audrey Thomas’ Songs My Mother Taught Me in 1973; into Quebec literature in translation with Robert Gurik’s The Trial of Jean Baptiste M. and Michel Tremblay’s Les Belles Soeurs in 1975; and into nonfi ction with the collected works of ethnographer Charles Hill-Tout, The Salish People, Volumes I–IV, in 1979.

In the early 1980s, the press experimented with publishing several highly successful commercial titles, but returned to its original, exclusively literary mandate in 1985.

Over the past two decades, Talon has diversifi ed its literary list to include critical works on fl ashpoints in the Middle East and on global socioeconomic issues and politics.

Talon’s dedication to the publication of over four decades of excellent Canadian literary work, published through an unbroken line of internal mentorship and succession of ownership in the company, has earned our publishing house the privilege of being one of the preeminent independent Anglophone literary presses in Canada. The largest independent publisher of drama in the country, we publish more translations from Quebec than anyone else, more Native voices than any other Canadian publisher, and our diverse list has come to include numerous works from the Japanese, Chinese, African, and South Asian Canadian communities.

Our current books in print have garnered over three hundred awards.

This delightful unpublished work by Jane Rule showcases the origins and contexts that gave shape to her rich intellectual life .

Discovered in her papers as a handwritten manuscript in 2008, Jane Rule’s autobiography is a rich and culturally signifi cant document that follows the fi rst twenty-one years of her life.

In writing about her formative years, she is indeed “taking” the measure of her life, assessing its contours of pleasure and pain, and accounting pre-cisely for how it evolved, with great discretion and consideration for those who might have been aff ected by being represented in her work. She appre-ciated the ambiguity of the title she chose, with all its implications of suicide: at the end of her writing life, she was submitting herself to critical scrutiny, allowing herself to be vulnerable as a person to not only the literary and cul-tural, but also the moral and ethical critique of her readers.

At turns deeply moving and witty, Taking My Life probes in emotional and in-tellectual terms the larger philosophical questions that were to preoccupy her throughout her literary career, and showcases the origins and contexts that gave shape to Rule’s rich intellectual life. Her autobiography will appeal to avid followers of her work, delighted to discover another of her works that has, until now, remained unpublished.

Jane Rule was born in New Jersey in 1931 and emigrated to Canada in 1956. She emerged as one of the most respected writers in Canada with her many novels, essays, and short story collections. She passed away in 2007.

Linda Morra is a professor of English at Bishop’s University.

Teenagers Miles and Chateaugue have run away from home and soon form a suicide pact to preserve their fl eeting innocence. Written in a style that echoes Arthur Rimbaud and William S. Burroughs, Réjean Ducharme’s vision is darkly prophetic of a world that has lost its way, on which “our lady of good help” only gazes with an inscrutable Mona Lisa smile.

Réjean Ducharme is one of Quebec’s most infl uential authors, and also one of the province’s enigmas: the man has not been seen in public for over a decade.

Will Browning is currently a professor of French literature at Boise State University.

Steve Galluccio’s newest stage triumph is a comedy set in 1952 Naples. It re-counts how one broken engagement ripples throughout friends and family, aff ecting all of their respective lives in diff erent ways. In a world confl icted by traditional values and postwar-era thinking, theatrical archetypes evolve into stereotypes that became hallmarks of the Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni fi lms in the early 1960s.

A favorite of the Montreal Fringe Festival, Steve Galluccio is a playwright with a delightful fl air for comedy. His fast-paced plays are full of populist art, local references, and camp sensibility.

M.A.C. Farrant’s spare, stimulating writing is a philosophical tonic for the brain:

blurring genres, deconstructing form, and pricking bubbles of complacency .

“Anthropologist of the absurd” and “brave iconoclast,” M.A.C. Farrant posi-tively bristles in this three-part novel-length work of prose fragments, snip-pets, questions, speculations, and meditations, by turns philosophical, dark, comedic, and lyrical in its attempts to imagine a multitude of possible futures for our accelerated age. It off ers her readers nothing less than The Strange Truth About Us .

M.A.C. Farrant is the acclaimed author of nine previous collections of sa-tirical and humorous short fi ction, and two works of non-fi ction. Her work is infused with acerbic wit and innovation, and her surrealistic visions of every-day life are startlingly precise.

A Native girl full of hope and aspiration leaves her reservation for the promise of the city, only to die on skid row—a victim of white bigotry, racism, violence, and paternalism. This best known, most translated, and perennially successful Canadian play is a poetic drama of enormous theatrical power.


Raucous, reckless, and ribald, Les Belles Souers celebrates the working-class lives of fi fteen Montreal women. The fi rst play written in joual, the vernacular French of Quebec, ever to achieve both popular success and critical acclaim, it established Michel Tremblay’s enduring literary reputation as “the father of the québécois language” in 1968.


Consistently among Talonbooks’ best-selling books for the past three decades and adapted into a fi lm by the CBC in 2010, this Governor General’s Award–winning musical documents the often self-proclaimed glorious exploits of World War I Canadian fl ying ace Billy Bishop with its exquisitely balanced mix of nostalgia and sardonic irony.


This play by one of Canada’s best-loved Native playwrights raises powerful questions that transcend issues of culture, race, and history, cutting to the ethical quick of what it means to be human in a chaotic world stripped of the comfortable security of identity politics. It is a 2006 Governor General’s Drama Award fi nalist.

In this fast-paced, sophisticated, hilarious play, a man contemplating suicide on a seventh-story ledge of a building engages the lives of the people who live there. Their “seven stories,” which alternately strengthen and undermine his resolve, lead to a charming surprise ending. CBC has called it “one of the best plays of the 1980s.”


This volume collects three interrelated plays by celebrated playwright and screenwriter George F. Walker, all set in the “East End” of the North American urban jungle—the bad side of town. Included here are the Governor General’s Award–winning Criminals in Love (1984), Better Living (1986), and Escape from Happiness (1987).


Grounded in his encounter with the smashed and broken doors along the hurricane-devastated waterfront of Telchac Puerto on the north coast of the Yucatàn peninsula, characteristically innovative and compositionally musical, Fred Wah’s prizewinning poetry watches both sides of the doorway—for the sudden question, the sudden turn, the sudden opening.


In December 2005, stalled on a novel he was writing, Canada’s fi rst Poet Laureate made a New Year’s resolution: write a poem for every day of 2006. The result of this uncompromising personal and formal discipline has be-come one of the most fascinating books ever written in the English language.

On the run, Michel must use his spy-craft to shake off his pursuers and stay one step ahead.

“Hiller recalls the cool detachment and compelling eye for the ordinary detail that characterised the early thrillers of Graham Greene.”—Independent on Sunday

“Hiller’s fi ction joins great Arabic novels such as Love in Exile by Bahaa Taher and Elias Khoury’s Gate of the Sun.”—Guardian

“Powerful and thought-provoking, this is a book that stays with the reader. Mr Hiller’s Shake Off is hard to shake off .”—The Economist

London 1989: Michel is an undercover PLO operative hooked on painkillers and posing as a student. He is tasked by mentor Abu Leila to fi nd a venue for secret Palestinian–Israeli talks. But fellow student Helen, forbidden fruit in this clandestine world, is proving to be a distraction.

Michel is forced to go on the run when he takes possession of a package smuggled out of the Occupied Territories and linked to an assassination in Berlin—a package that both the Israelis and the Palestinians are desperate to get hold of.

From the streets of London, Cambridge, and Berlin to the remotest areas of Scotland, Michel must use his KGB training and Helen’s help to shake off his pursuers and stay one step ahead.

Mischa Hiller was born in England in 1962 and grew up in London, Dar El-Salaam, and Beirut. His fi rst novel, Sabra Zoo, won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book (Europe and South Asia) in March 2011. He lives in Cambridge, England.

“Achingly brilliant, an epic made mad, made extraordinary.”—Junot Díaz

“Hallucinatory, lyrical, by turns comic and tragic, this extraordinary novel should make Sjón an international name. His evocation of seventeenth cen-tury Iceland through the eyes of a man born before his time has stuck in my mind like nothing else I’ve read in the last year.”—Hari Kunzru

The year is 1635. Iceland is a world darkened by superstition, poverty, and cruelty.

Men of science marvel over a unicorn’s horn, poor folk worship the Virgin in secret, and both books and men are burnt.

Jónas Pálmason, a poet and self-taught healer, has been condemned to exile for heretical conduct, having fallen foul of the local magistrate. Banished to a barren island, Jónas recalls his gift for curing “female maladies,” his ex-orcism of a walking corpse on the remote Snjáfjöll coast, the frenzied massa-cre of innocent Basque whalers at the hands of local villagers, and the deaths of three of his children.

Sjón was born in Reykjavik in 1962. He won the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize (the equivalent of the Man Booker Prize) for The Blue Fox, which was also longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2009. Sjón was nomi-nated for an Oscar for the song lyrics he wrote for Björk in the fi lm Dancer in the Dark. His work has been translated into twenty-three languages.

Maggie Gee’s memoir paints a fi ne, honest, complex portrait, chronicling the successes and pitfalls of a writer’s life.

“A wise and beautiful book about what it feels like to be alive—I really loved it.”—Zadie Smith

“Maggie Gee’s account of her life as a writer cuts to the bone as she relives tri-umphs, rejections, despair, and renewal. It’s a wonderful book, for its bold-ness and vigor, and for its piercing honesty.”—Claire Tomalin

How do you become a writer, and why?Maggie Gee’s journey starts in a small family in post-war Britain, a long

way from the literary world. At seventeen, Maggie goes, a lamb to the slaugh-ter, to university. From the 1960s onwards she lives the defi ning events of her generation: the coming of the Pill and sexual freedom, tremors in the British layer-cake of class and race. In the 1980s, Maggie fi nally gets published, falls in love, marries, and has a daughter—but for the next three decades and be-yond, she survives, and sometimes thrives, by writing. This frank, bold mem-oir dares to explore the big questions: success and failure, sex, death, and parenthood—our animal life.

Maggie Gee was chosen as one of Granta’s original Best Young British Novelists. She has published many novels to great acclaim, including The White Family , shortlisted for the Orange and IMPAC prizes; My Cleaner ; The Flood , longlisted for the Orange Prize; and The Ice People . She was the fi rst female chair of the Royal Society of Literature from 2004–2008 and is now one of its vice presidents.

A beautifully poignant paean to lost love and the passing of time.

“A thing of beauty. . . . You must read it.”—Nadeem Aslam

“A shower of pleasures.”—Julia O’Faolain

“Sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and seductive, the novel engages mind and senses alike.”—The Times Literary Supplement

Like his parents, he too spent many hours sending cloud messages to other places, messages of longing for something that he knew existed otherwhere.

London, that distant rainy place his father lived in once, is where Mehran fi nds himself after leaving Karachi in his teens. And it is there that his adult life unfolds: he discovers the joys of poetry, faces the trials of love and work, and spends his dreaming hours “sending cloud messages to other places,” hoping, one day, to tell his own story.

A feeling of not quite belonging anywhere pursues Mehran as he travels to Italy, India, and Pakistan. But the relationships he forms—with wounded, pas-sionate Marvi, volatile Marco, and the enigmatic Riccarda—and his power of recollection fi nally bring him some sense, however fl eeting, of home.

Aamer Hussein was born in Karachi in 1955 and moved to London in his teens. He lectures at the University of Southampton and the Institute of English Studies and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. His no-vella Another Gulmohar Tree was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize Europe and South Asia 2010.

A major new play by the acclaimed author of Angels in America .

“The clear successor to Kushner’s masterpiece, Angels in America , picking up many of the same arguments about love, sexuality, and politics while adding many more.”— Minnesota Monthly

“Sprawling, yearning . . . packed with a level of complexity, sophistication and understanding that distinguishes it as a potentially important new American work.”— Variety

Tony Kushner returns to his big topics with trademark humor and passion in a play titled after two nineteeth-century treatises: George Bernard Shaw’s The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism and Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures .

In the Sumer of 2007, Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman and cousin of the late congressman Vito Marcantonio, summons his three adult children to the family’s Brooklyn brownstone to vote on the question of his committing suicide.

Originally commissioned and produced by the Guthrie Theater, the play will premiere in the spring of 2011 in a co-production between New York’s Public and Signature theaters.

Tony Kushner ’s plays include A Bright Room Called Day ; Angels in America, Parts One and Two ; Slavs! ; Homebody/Kabul ; and the book and lyrics for Caroline, or Change . His honors include the Pulitzer Prize, two Tony Awards for Best Play, and three OBIE Awards for Playwriting.

A new play by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Topdog/Underdog .

“[Suzan-Lori Parks’] dislocating stage devices, stark but poetic language and fi ercely idiosyncratic images transform her work into something haunting and marvelous.”— Time

“An original whose fi erce intelligence and fearless approach to craft subvert theatrical convention and produce a mature and inimitable art that is as excit-ing as it is fresh.”—August Wilson

Named one of the “100 Innovators for the Next New Wave” by Time magazine, Suzan-Lori Parks is a truly original voice of the American theater. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur “Genius” Award, Parks is renowned for her groundbreaking language, theatricality, and an aesthetic that continues to evolve in unexpected ways. Her fi rst full-length play since her award-winning Topdog/Underdog , The Book of Grace is a scorching three-person drama in which a young man returns home to south Texas to confront his father, unearthing deep-seated passions and ambition. The play premiered in spring 2010 at the Public Theater, where Parks is in the midst of a three-year residency as the fi rst recipient of the theater’s master writer chair.

Suzan-Lori Parks is a playwright, screenwriter, songwriter, and novelist. Her plays include Topdog/Underdog (winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize), In the Blood (a 2000 Pulitzer Prize fi nalist), Venus (OBIE Award winner) and Imperceptible Mutabilities in the Third Kingdom (OBIE Award, Best New American Play).

A new play by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Ruined .

“Nottage is one of our fi nest playwrights, a smart, empathetic and daring sto-ryteller who tells a story an audience won’t expect.”— Time Out New York

“Lynn Nottage’s work explores depths of humanness, the overlapping com-plexities of race, gender, culture, and history—and the startling simplicity of desire—with a clear tenderness, with humor, with compassion.”—Paula Vogel, winner of the Pulitzer Prize

In her fi rst new play since the critically acclaimed Ruined , Lynn Nottage ex-amines the legacy of African Americans in Hollywood in a dramatic stylistic departure from her previous work. Fluidly incorporating fi lm and video ele-ments into her writing for the fi rst time, Nottage’s comedy tells the story of Vera Stark, a headstrong African American maid and budding actress who has a tangled relationship with her boss, a white Hollywood star desperately grasp-ing to hold onto her career. Stirring audiences out of complacency by tack-ling racial stereotyping in the entertainment industry—a topic that remains largely unexplored in mainstream arts and entertainment—Nottage highlights the paradox of black actors in 1930s Hollywood while jumping back and for-ward in time and location in this uniquely theatrical narrative.

Lynn Nottage ’s plays include the Pulitzer Prize–winning Ruined ; Intimate Apparel , the most widely produced play of the 2005–06 theater season in America; Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine ; Crumbs from the Table of Joy ; Las Meninas ; Mud, River, Stone ; Por’knockers ; and POOF!

This Pulitzer Prize–winning play is now a major motion picture.

“David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that’s not just a departure but a revelation—an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, in-sightfulness, compassion, and searing honesty.”—Variety

“The sad, sweet release of Rabbit Hole lies precisely in the access it allows to the pain of others, in its meticulously mapped empathy. This anatomy of grief doesn’t so much jerk tears as tap them, from a reservoir of feelings common to anyone who has experienced the landscape-shifting vacuum left by a death in the family.”—The New York Times

David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize–winning play, a thoughtful and pene-trating rumination on grief and mourning, is now a major motion pic-ture. This movie tie-in edition of the fi lm from Lionsgate starring Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, and Dianne Wiest is a story of loss, heartbreak, and forgiveness—told through daily moments and emotional hurdles—as a fam-ily moves on after the accidental death of their four-year-old son. Following a critically acclaimed Broadway premiere in 2006, Rabbit Hole has been hailed as an artistic breakthrough for the highly regarded playwright. A drama of the aftermath of tragedy, it captures “the awkwardness and pain of thinking people faced with an unthinkable situation—and eventually, their capacity for sur-vival” (USA Today).

David Lindsay-Abaire is the author of Fuddy Meers, Kimberly Akimbo, A Devil Inside,and Wonder of the World, in addition to the books for the musicals High Fidelity and Shrek. His latest play Good People premiered on Broadway in March 2011 and was published in the summer of 2011.

Adaptations of two classic works through the unique lens of playwright Sarah Ruhl.

“[Ruhl’s Orlando ] captures both the intellectual spirit and the literary bril-liance of Woolf’s work. . . . Ruhl writes with the imaginative sweep that allows Woolf’s poetry to soar.”— Variety

“Sarah Ruhl’s smart new translation [of Three Sisters ] feels just right to contem-porary American ears—lean, colloquial, and conversational for us and true to Chekhov’s original work.”— The Cincinnati Enquirer

In her stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s gender-bending, period-hopping novel, award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl “is her usual unfailingly ele-gant, unbeatably witty self, cleverly braiding her own brand-name wit with Woolf’s” ( New York magazine ). Preserving Woolf’s vital ideas and lyrical tone, Ruhl brings to the stage the life of an Elizabethan nobleman who’s magically transformed into an immortal woman. In her fresh translation of Three Sisters , the Anton Chekhov classic of ennui and frustration, Ruhl employs her signa-ture lyricism and elegant understanding of intimacy to reveal the discontent felt by fretful Olga, unhappy Masha, and idealistic Irina as they long to leave rural Russia for the ever-alluring Moscow.

Sarah Ruhl ’s other plays include the Pulitzer Prize fi nalists In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) and The Clean House , as well as Passion Play , Dean Man’s Cell Phone , Demeter in the City , Eurydice , Melancholy Play , and Late: a cowboy song . She is the re cipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award, a PEN/Laura Pels Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. Her plays have premiered on Broadway, Off -Broadway, and in many theaters around the world.

Two new plays by Nilo Cruz, the fi rst Latino honored with a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

“The words of Nilo Cruz waft from the stage like a scented breeze. They sparkle and prickle and swirl, enveloping those who listen in both specifi c place and time . . . and in timeless passions that touch us all.”—The Miami Herald

One of the United States’ most-produced Cuban American writers, Nilo Cruz employs his signature poetic imagery and vivid language to tender and humorous eff ect in this pair of his newest works. The Color of Desire , set in 1960 Havana, revolves around a passionate romance between an American busi-nessman and an out-of-work Cuban actress. As the relationship becomes a metaphor for their countries’ ruptured love aff air, Cruz artfully weds magical realism to a familial story that is touching, harrowing, and funny. In Hurricane , a damaged family—a fi re-and-brimstone missionary; his wife, who he saved in more than the spiritual sense; and their adopted son, who seems to have mate-rialized from the ocean—face a shocking crisis when a hurricane ravages their Caribbean town. A celebration of humility, generosity, and kindness, Cruz’s play explores the nature of identity, faith, and the redemptive power of love.

Nilo Cruz is the author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Anna in the Tropics , as well as A Park in Our House , A Bicycle Country , Dancing on Her Knees , Night Train to Bolina , Two Sisters and a Piano , and other works.

PSYCHOLOGY / SELF-HELP February



eBook ISBN: 978-1-930650-14-5 USC

Unique to titles on bipolar disorder, many individual voices provide powerful stories of support, insight, and hope.

“The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is an opportunity, not a life sentence.”—Robert E. Soper, MD, Diplomate, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology

Excerpt from “Jinny’s Story”:

That’s the hardest endeavor most days—fi nding balance.I really wish everyone could understand it is a physical problem in my brain due to chemical im-

balances. I don’t want to be thought of as crazy or weak.I’m scared. I’m harsh enough on myself and I don’t need others judging me as well.

Millions of lives are aff ected by bipolar disorder. Unique among thousands of titles on the subject, Being Bipolar presents powerful stories of those living with the disorder and from loved ones’ perspectives. Individual personal sto-ries are written in their own words, unlike other books with their focus on medical information or one person’s life story. Personal experiences of pain, growth, fear, and hope are shared, seeking to give support and break through the misinformation and stigma associated with the disorder.

Rachel Ellen Koski , an award-winning editor, is the story collector and edi–tor. She tells of more than thirty years of learning, accepting, and growing through her own challenges of being bipolar. “This is the book I wanted when fi rst diagnosed and all along my journey, for myself and for my loved ones.”

A passionate, heartbreaking story of authority and revenge, alcoholism and futile redemption set in south Boston in the late 1990s.

“In Edward J. Delaney’s South Boston little is lost, nothing forgotten. Old sins, old wounds haunt his characters, young and old, and reverberate throughout his wonderfully complicated plot. Broken Irish is an enthralling, sat-isfying novel.”—Margot Livesey

“An entire community is on the brink. Hope is the only hope. And faith can-not scrub the grime off its hands. With Broken Irish , Edward J. Delaney delivers a gripping epic.”—Adam Braver

Broken Irish is a passionately written novel about revenge, redemption, and al-coholism. It’s a story driven by character, community, and coincidence set in south Boston in the late 1990s, a time when even the local parish church is party to a scandal about to unravel. With tight control and a powerful narrative drive, Edward J. Delaney’s Broken Irish off ers a vantage point from which to view the sad workings of an entire deteriorating society. The author tells his mov-ing story in short chapters that are fi lled with incident and drive—jump cuts that can compete with any cleverly written HBO weekly series.

Edward J. Delaney is the winner of a 2008 Literary Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, the 2005 L.L. Winship/PEN New England Award for fi ction, and a past winner of the O.Henry Prize for short story writing. His work has been included in Best American Short Stories (edited by Jane Smiley) and he has been a fi nalist for the National Magazine Award. He has published short stories and essays in The Atlantic . In addition to a novel, Warp and Weft , and The Drowning and Other Stories , Delaney co-authored Born to Play by Boston Red Sox second baseman and 2008 American League Most Valuable Player Dustin Pedroia.

eBook ISBN: 978-1-933527-52-9 W* A mirthful novella about a whimsical, hapless young Brooklyn

writer who moves to Los Angeles to write for the movies.

“Baldwin’s characters search for fame in the shape-shifting landscape of Hollywood. He has a voice that follows the mirage even after it disappears. The Wilshire Sun is a surreal, giddily original debut that plumbs the myth of Los Angeles.”—James Frey

The Wilshire Sun is a mirthful novella about a whimsical, hapless, over- aspiring, under-achieving young writer from Brooklyn who moves to Los Angeles hoping to write for the movies. With understated deadpan humor and dy-namic, sly, original language and off -kilter imagery, Joshua Baldwin has cre-ated a novella that may remind readers of an improbable roundtable meeting of Tao Lin, James Thurber, S.J. Perelman, and Jack Benny. The elements of the novella’s constitution—clipped pieces of fast-paced immediate narra-tive interspersed with epistolary matter and off -the-cuff riff s on junk food, screenwriting, Walt Whitman, big brothers, bum grandfathers, and crackpot friends—magically hang together and off er a delightfully absurd portrait of the artist as a young man for our times in the City of Angels.

Joshua Baldwin was born in New York in 1984. He graduated from the col-lege at the University of Chicago in 2006. He is the author of the chapbook Poems and Fake Book Reviews . His poetry and reviews have appeared in The Brooklyn Rail , Chicago Review , and Publishers Weekly . An excerpt from The Wilshire Sun appeared in Or 5 , Otis College of Art and Design.

eBook ISBN: 978-1-933527-53-6 W*

The collection that David Trinidad fans have been anticipating for years—soulful works of tenderness, wit, and formal ingenuity.

“This magnum opus confi rms David Trinidad’s place in the poetic fi rmament: he is simply the best we have. A worthy successor to James Schuyler, Trinidad writes soulfully and sometimes photorealistically about the melancholy thresh-old where dolls and stars become inner objects—dirty, glamorous, destruc–tible. Jacqueline Susann meets Sei Shonagon? Trinidad manages to combine neo-formalist abstraction with dripping gorgeous fi guration: Bonnard’s wet dream.”—Wayne Koestenbaum

“This is a volume celebratory in tone, panoramic in scope, funny, and genu-inely moving. Trinidad is at the center of what’s relevant in his art. And this collection is more vital and more enjoyable than any single performance he has given thus far.”—D.A. Powell

“Trinidad attends to the present to see into the past with such needle point precision it’s like encountering a perfectly appointed movie set where personal memory crosses intimately with cultural memory. Poetic form in Trinidad’s hands is a metaphor for staking a claim on the material world even as it slips away in a shimmery Hollywood dissolve—a desperate, doomed reclamation of all that can never be held long enough.”—Robyn Schiff

“Utterly deadpan and astonishingly fi ne” is how Publishers Weekly described the poems of David Trinidad. And here is the collection all David Trinidad fans have been waiting for—the fi rst book to have works from all his previous books along with forty new poems: Dear Prudence: New and Selected Poems .

David Trinidad, whose previous books include The Late Show, Plasticville, By Myself(with D.A. Powell) and Phoebe 2002 (with Lynn Crosbie and Jeff ery Conway) teaches at Columbia College, Chicago, where he founded the journal Court Green. He is the editor of the recently released Collected Poems of Tim Dlugos as well as the co-editor (with Denise Duhamel and Maureen Seaton) of A Half-Century of Collaborative American Poetry.

James Schuyler on Charles North: “To me, he is the most stimulating poet of his generation.”

“Charles North is the master of multitasking—all experience opens to him at every moment—as well as the master tout court . He belongs on the summit of the American Parnassus.”—Harry Mathews

“North is a younger compatriot of O’Hara and Ashbery, and his nonchalance aspiring to greatness fi nds the same ‘risks inside art’ that other poets found in the city. Juggling a satiric self-consciousness with a ‘strange mischief,’ North pulls death-defying propositions and playful mockeries from thin air.”— Publishers Weekly

“The business of examining exactly what one means is central to North’s con-cept of the role of the poet, and he is especially alert to the way particulars and ideas interact in our constructions of meaning. The urge to hold out ‘particu-lars’ to the reader is mediated through an alert, sophisticated consciousness insistently aware of convention and genre.”—Mark Ford

“The challenge of writing about the sensual qualities of New York City which seems so tired, by North’s pen becomes transcendent again. And that’s only one of the things his poetry accomplishes. He is witty when wit seems all but lost, gorgeous when gorgeousness is supposed to have crawled off to wherever Frank O’Hara’s odes come from.”—Ange Mlinko

Charles North ’s poetry has received high praise from a wide variety of aes-thetic camps. Among his awards are a Foundation for Contemporary Arts grant, two National Endowment for the Arts grants, four Fund for Poetry Awards, and a Poets Foundation Award.

An ambitious, uplifting, and vital new work that underlines Joshua Mohr’s relevance as a major American voice.

“[Mohr] has a generous understanding of his characters, whom he describes with an intelligence and sensitivity that pulls you in.”— The New York Times Book Review (editors’ choice) on Termite Parade

It’s 2003 and the country is divided evenly for and against the Iraq War. Damascus, a dive bar in San Francisco’s Mission District, becomes the un-likely setting for a showdown between the opposing sides.

Tensions come to a boil when Owen, the bar’s proprietor who has recently taken to wearing a Santa suit full-time, agrees to host the joint’s fi rst (and only) art show by Sylvia Suture, an ambitious young artist who longs to take her act to the dramatic precipice of the high-wire by nailing live fi sh to the walls as a political statement.

An incredibly creative and fully rendered cast of characters orbit the bar. There’s No Eyebrows, a cancer patient who has come to the Mission to die anonymously; Shambles, the patron saint of the hand job; Revv, a lead singer who acts too much like a lead singer; and Owen, donning his Santa costume to mask the most unfortunate birthmark imaginable.

Damascus is the place where confusion and frustration run out of room to hide. By gracefully tackling such complicated topics as cancer, Iraq, and is-sues of self-esteem, Joshua Mohr has painted his most accomplished novel yet.

Joshua Mohr is the San Francisco Chronicle best-selling author of Some Things That Meant the World to Me and Termite Parade , a New York Times Book Review editors’ choice selection.

Eye-popping stories that showcase an assured and exceptionally stylish talent.

“If fi ction were a giant transporter, I’d want to go to Trinie Dalton’s world.”— Los Angeles Times on Wide Eyed

Baby Geisha is a collection of thirteen sexually-charged stories that roam from the Coney Island Ferris wheel to the Greek Isles.

True to Trinie Dalton’s form, the stories in Baby Geisha are distinctly imag-ined while also representing a more grounded approach in the author’s style. There’s the Joan Didion-obsessed starving journalist of “Pura Vida ,” strug-gling to maintain a relationship with her performance artist sisters (or any-one, for that matter), on assignment in Costa Rica to write an article on sloth-hugging. “Millennium Chill” is about a woman who discovers that her body heat is mysteriously linked to that of an elderly beggar.

The story “War Foods” begins with these memorable lines: “‘Let’s go down-town and get some government cheese,’ my father used to say to my brother and I. He thought that was entertainment enough for the weekends he had us in his custody.”

Baby Geisha serves to support Dalton’s reputation as a remarkable stylist and a very original artist.

Trinie Dalton has authored and edited fi ve books. Wide Eyed , Sweet Tomb , and A Unicorn Is Born are works of fi ction. Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is and Mythtym are art compilations. She writes articles and reviews about books, art, and music. She teaches book arts and writing at Pratt and New York University, and is on the MFA fi ction faculty at Vermont College of Fine Arts.

A witty, creative, and seductive mystery.

Praise for Barbara Browning’s The Correspondence Artist:

“Intelligent. . . . A pleasure to read.”— Bookslut

I was in Zagreb the day that Michael Jackson died. When I heard the news, the fi rst thing I thought was, That’s it. That’s the fi rst line of my novel. “I was in Zagreb the day that Michael Jackson died.”

First Michael Jackson, then Pina Bausch. Next is Merce Cunningham.Gray Adams, a former dancer with the Royal Swiss Ballet at work on his

dissertation at NYU, has a theory spurred by countless hours of YouTube-based procrastination: someone is killing these famous dancers! (And he may bear an uncanny resemblance to Jimmy Stewart, circa Vertigo .)

I’m Trying to Reach You is a moving and candid contemporary look at how we process grief, as well as how we love and communicate with one another.

In the author’s consideration of gender, race, and class, she also attempts to relate what it truly means to be an American in this modern age.

Barbara Browning is the author of The Correspondence Artist . She teaches in the Performance Studies department at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. She’s also a poet and dancer who lives in Greenwich Village with her son.

With its topical themes (immigration), shades-of-gray characters, and charged canvas, El Gavilan is a noir novel for our uncertain times.

“The competition for the future of crime fi ction is fi erce, as it should be, but don’t take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He’s wily, talented and—rarest of the rare—a true original. He writes melancholy poetry that actually has melancholy poets wandering around, but don’t turn your backs on them, either. I am al-ways eager to see what he’s going to do next.”—Laura Lippman

The news is full of it: escalating tensions from illegal immigration, headless bodies hanging off bridges, and bounties placed on lawmen on both sides of the border. New Austin, Ohio, is a town grappling with waves of undocu-mented workers who exert tremendous pressure on schools, police, and city services. In the midst of the turmoil, three very diff erent kinds of cops scram-ble to maintain control and impose order.

But the rape and murder of a Mexican American woman triggers a bru-tal chain of events that threatens to leave no survivors. El Gavilan is a novel of shifting alliances and whiplash switchbacks. Families are divided and careers and lives threatened. Friendships and ideals are tested and budding love af-fairs challenged. With its topical themes, shades-of- gray characters, and dark canvas, El Gavilan is a novel for our charged times.

Craig McDonald , author of the internationally acclaimed Hector Lassiter series, is an award-winning journalist, editor, and fi ction writer. His short fi ction has appeared in literary magazines and anthologies. His fi ction and nonfi ction have earned him nominations for the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, and Gumshoe awards.

“The biggest mysteries in our genre are why Reed Coleman isn’t already huge, and why Moe Prager isn’t already an icon.”—Lee Child

At a pre-wedding party for his daughter Sarah, Moe Prager is approached by his ex-wife and former PI partner Carmella Melendez. It seems Carmella’s es-tranged sister Alta has been murdered, but no one in New York City seems to care. Why? Alta, a FDNY EMT, and her partner had months earlier refused to give assistance to a dying man at a fancy downtown eatery. Moe decides to help Carmella as a means to distract himself from his own life and death struggle. Making headway on the case is no mean feat as no one, including Alta’s part-ner Maya Watson, wants to cooperate. Moe chips away until he discovers a cancer roiling just below the surface, a cancer whose symptoms include bu-reaucratic greed, sexual harassment, and blackmail. But is any of it connected to Alta’s brutal murder?

Reed Farrel Coleman has won or been nominated for nearly every major award in crime fi ction. His Moe Prager series was selected by NPR’s Maureen Corrigan for inclusion in her Best Of list.

In modern, spare and elegant portraiture, artist Cindy Hwang (CYJO) high-lights the diversity, identity, and immigration of the global kyopo, those of Korean descent that reside outside of the Korean Peninsula. CYJO decon-textualizes her subjects to emphasize a sense of forced unity, allowing their spectrum of experience to contradict the apparent sameness of identity. Juxtaposed are the graduate student, the novelist, the activist, the architect. Through photographs and profi les, KYOPO challenges the idea of a mono-lithic, “authentic” Korean identity while stimulating exploration and a re-newed perception of what it means to be both Korean and a citizen of the world.

Starkly powerful portraits depict those who suffered greatly both

during Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979 and under the

Sarah E. Truman explores a lifelong affi nity with Guan Yin in a two-year jour-ney through China fi lled with unexpected encounters. She portrays China as a country where life is rooted in raw, street-level survival, and where Guan Yin can only be experienced after all concepts, preconceived notions, and spiri-tual illusions are abandoned.

Three Hundred Tang Poems is one of the key twentieth century primers for western

“The road to Shu is hard, but harder still is to convey the spirit with which these poems were fi rst written over a thousand years ago. And yet the transla-tors have given us translations that feel alive, as if they were more like a dance between poet and translator, both of whom live on through the beauty of these poems. The night is young, and this book is full of music.”—Red Pine

“There is nothing ‘still’ in the remarkably visceral poems of Alexander Long’s third collection, Still Life , and nothing is at rest in these restless and edgy poems. Conversational and kinetic, these poems chart the traces left by the shifting overlays of the templates of literature, rock-and-roll, and con-temporary culture. As each poem in Still Life attempts to fi x a focus upon a scene or subject, the protean natures under view draw the poet into the ed-dies and complexities of refl ection. This is a powerful and moving collection of poems.”—David St. John

This compelling selection is the fi rst to span fi fty years of H.E. Sayeh’s bear-ing witness to a turbulent Iranian century, especially the national crises which followed the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the CIA-led coup d’état of 1953. Sayeh shows tremendous range, from the inward, spare lyric to bardic incan-tations that roll off the tongue and resonate with the voice of the whole nation, blending traditional Persian verse in the spirit of Rumi and Hafez with issues of contemporary Iranian society. Chad Sweeney and Mojdeh Marashi have de-livered exquisite translations of this important Iranian poet.

HISTORY September



A personal survey of China’s “Lost Decade” between the death of Mao and Tiananmen Square.

The period in China’s recent history between the death of Mao and the de-bacle of 1989 can be seen as a long decade, but also historically as a “lost” de-cade. It is “lost” in the sense that the political engagement of intellectuals and makers of culture was erased by China’s offi cial history makers; it is also “lost” in that its memory has been abandoned even by many who lived through it; “lost” also in the embarrassed silence of those who prefer to focus on the sub-sequent economic miracle of the 1990s that gave rise to today’s more pros-perous China; and “lost” as a time of opportunity for cultural and political change that ultimately did not happen. The relevance of the lost decade to China’s living, if untold, history was once more made clear by the conferral of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize on Liu Xiaobo, a political activist since 1989, and by the awarding of the 2010 Neustadt literature prize to the poet Duoduo whose poetry and personal trajectory loom large in Gregory B. Lee’s book.

Gregory B. Lee was educated in London and Peking. He has taught at the uni-versities of Cambridge, London, Chicago, Hong Kong, and Lyon, and is cur-rently chair professor of Chinese and transcultural studies at City University of Hong Kong. He is the author of Dai Wangshu: The Life and Poetry of a Chinese Modernist ; Troubadours, Trumpeters, Troubled Makers: Lyricism, Nationalism and Hybridity in China and Its Others ; and Chinas Unlimited: Making the Imaginaries of China and Chineseness .

The fi rst major selection of the mainland Chinese poet in an English translation.

In a 1989 interview, Han Dong declared that he wrote poetry for nobody, not even himself. He likens the poet to a roofer: “I write poetry for the constitu-tion of poetry, just as a roofer gives no thought to who lives in the house whose roof he is covering—he builds to meet the criteria of what a house is. Poetry is not subordinate to purposes beyond itself: its highest purpose is to be with-out purpose.”

So–and–so’s come to a sad end . . .”In the gloom, he smiles gently, lovinglyAs if to say I can rely on him in this world of nothingness“But the thing is, we could never be sure. . .”“We probably should” and “Possibly”. . .Earnest words like the thread in a foster mother’s handAs she darns a monk’s ragged robeThat’s a story that can’t be darned“Poor man!”—The thread is knottedBut the knot in my heart tries to pass through the needle’s eyeThe tree leaves at dusk have an oily gleam

Han Dong was born in 1961 in Nanjing, where he continues to work as a full-time writer. He is also a respected novelist—his fi rst, published in translation as Banished! by University of Hawai‘i Press, was longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize 2008.

Nicky Harman lives in the United Kingdom. Besides translation work, Harman is active on the Chinese translated fi ction website Paper Republic and in liter-ary translation organizations in the United Kingdom.
