Miniature
For Suzanne Buffam
Every dollhouse should have a mirror so its inhabitant (in this case you) can see herself or at least one eye peering like Alice into the tiny keyhole every book should have a poem small enough to slip through on the flood of her tears

2011 Nobel Prize in Literature: Tomas Transtrmer The Sorrow Gondola

Tomas Transtrmer Translated by Michael McGriff and Mikaela Grassl
Through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality.2011 Nobel Prize in Literature citation The Sorrow Gondola is Swedish poet Tomas Transtrmers first collection of poems after his stroke in 1990. Translated by Michael McGriff and Mikaela Grasssl, Transtrmers great work is available here in its first single-volume English edition. The Light Streams In Outside the window, the long beast of spring the transparent dragon of sunlight rushes past like an endless commuter trainwe never caught a glimpse of its head. The beach houses moving sideways they are proud as crabs. The sun makes the statues blink. The Sorrow Gondola

The sea of fire rages out in space becomes a soft touch on the earth. The countdown has begun. Born April 15, 1931, Tomas Transtrmer attended secondary school at Stockholms Sdra Latin School, graduating from Stockholm University as a psychologist in 1956. Influenced by Expressionist and Surrealist poetics, Transtrmers work has been criticized for not dealing directly with political issues. But his concerns are the mythic and imaginative aspects of human life, influenced, in part, by his role as a psychologist and his work with juveniles in prisons. In 1990 he suffered a stroke which affected his speech, but did not diminish his writing ability. As one of Swedens most notable poets, he has received numerous awards, including the Bonnier Award for Poetry, the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, the Oevralids Prize, the Petrarca-Preis (Germany), and the Swedish Award from International Poetry Forum. In 2007 he received the distinguished Lifetime Recognition Award from the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry.
Congratulations to all our award winners!

Go the Fuck to Sleep
Adam Mansbach Illustrated by Ricardo Corts
Go the Fuck to Sleep has become a cultural phenomenon!

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 sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Awardwinning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiarand unspokentribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.

AK Press The Peoples Pension

TheStruggletoDefendSocialSecuritySinceReagan
Eric Laursen
Laursen has given us a comprehensive account of the three decade long war against Social Security. . . . This is a fascinating history that progressives must learn, not only to protect Social Security but also to understand the dynamics behind an effective long-term strategy.Dean Baker, author of False Profits: Recovering From the Bubble Economy This magnificent history documents the hydra-headed campaign to cut and kill Social Security, conducted over decades by rightwing bankers, foundations, economists, and politicians. [The Peoples Pension] is utterly urgent. James K. Galbraith, author of The Predator State The Peoples Pension is both groundbreaking history and an indispensable guide for anyone concerned about one of the biggest issues in the upcoming election. With 95 percent of Americans participating in the program either as beneficiaries or through their payroll tax contributions, Social Security is quite literally the glue that binds Americans together as a community. Yet in the aftermath of the debt reduction deal between Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, the 2012 election promises to be a kind of referendum on the size and role of governmentincluding economic support programs like Social Security. Arguing to democratize, not disable the program, Eric Laursen suggests that the only solution for Social Security is taking it out of the governments hands altogether. Eric Laursen is an independent financial and political journalist, activist, and commentator. The co-founder and former managing editor of Plan Sponsor, a magazine for pension fund executives, Laursen is also the co-author of Understanding the Crash (2010). His work has appeared in a wide variety of publications, including The Huffington Post, The Nation, Institutional Investor, The Village Voice, and Investment Dealers Digest.

AK Press Hopeless
BarackObamaandthePoliticsofIllusion
Edited by Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank

Those who feel that like lemmings they are being led over a cliff would be well-advised not to read this book. They may discover that they are right. Noam Chomsky Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank have skillfully smoked out the real Barack Obama . . . the technofascist military strategist disguised as a Nobel Peace Laureate, but owned, operated, and controlled by Wall Street, Corporate America, and the Pentagon.Thomas H. Naylor, co-author of Affluenza, Downsizing the USA The writers assembled here hit hard, with accuracy, and do not pull punches.Marcus Rediker, author of The Slave Ship: A Human History The Barack Obama revolution was over before it started, guttered by the politicians overweening desire to prove himself to the grandees of the establishment. From there on, other promises proved ever easier to break. Heres the book that dares not let Obama off the hook. Its all here: the compromises, the backstabbing, the same old imperial ambitions. Covering all major Obummer categories since he took office, this fast-paced collection will delight the critical and offer food for thought for those contemplating the 2012 electoral circusand beyond. Jeffrey St. Clair is co-editor of CounterPunch, author of Born Under a Bad Sky and Been Brown So Long it Looked Green to Me, and co-author of Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs, and the Press. Joshua Frank is an environmental journalist and co-editor of Red State Rebels: Tales of Grassroots Resistance in the Heartland. His investigative reports and columns appear in CounterPunch, Chicago Sun-Times, Common Dreams, and AlterNet.

AK Press Arab Spring, Libyan Winter

Vijay Prashad
The Arab Spring captivated the planet. Mass action overthrew Tunisias Ben Ali and Egypts Hosni Mubarak. The revolutionary wave spread to the far corners of the Arab world, from Morocco to Bahrain. It seemed as if all the authoritarian states would finally be freed, even those of the Arabian Peninsula. Peoples power had produced this wave, and continued to ride it out. In Libya, though, the new world order had different ideas. Social forces opposed to Muammar Qaddafi had begun to rebel, but they were weak. In came the French and the United States, with promises of glory. A deal followed with the Saudis, who then sent in their own forces to cut down the Bahraini revolution, and NATO began its assault, ushering in a Libyan Winter that cast its shadow over the Arab Spring. This brief, timely analysis situates the assault on Libya in the context of the winds of revolt that swept through the Middle East in the Spring of 2011. Vijay Prashad explores the recent history of the Qaddafi regime, the social forces who opposed him, and the role of the United Nations, NATO, and the rest of the worlds superpowers in the bloody civil war that ensued. Vijay Prashad is the George and Martha Kellner Chair of South Asian History, and professor and director of international studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He is the author or editor of over a dozen books, including Karma of Brown Folk and, most recently, The Darker Nations: A Peoples History of the Third World.
The world watched as the bud of the Arab Spring was buried under the cold darkness of the Libyan Winter.

It aint easy being a kid these days. For the first time in generations, todays teens have worse prospects ahead of them than their parents did, and the pressure to toe the line and be a success is heavier than ever . . . and so is the temptation to just give up. But there are things in the world worth fighting for! This scrapbook-style collection of essays, excerpts, explanations, and images pushes back against a culture that relentlessly demands that kids give up their best ideals, abandon their hopes, forget their ethical objections to dominant life, soothe their rage, and accept their fates. From dealing with the cops to dealing with your peers, from school and community to drugs and sex, from race and class to money and mental health, Stay Solid! provides essential support for radically inclined teens who believe that its possible for all of us to hang on to our values and build a life we believe in. Compiled and edited by radical urbanist and educator Matt Hern, with the assistance of the youth community at Vancouvers Purple Thistle Center, Stay Solid! is for kids everywhere, and for anyone who considers themselves an ally parents, teachers, neighbors, friends, relatives, and beyond. Contributors include Noam Chomsky, Patricia Hill Collins, The Guerilla Girls, Derrick Jensen, Grace Llewellyn, Margaret Killjoy, Dan Savage, Astra Taylor, and more.
Growing up doesnt mean giving up! The quintessential guide to staying true to you in a fucked up world.

AK Press Truth and Revolution

AHistoryoftheSojournerTruthOrganization,19691986
Michael Staudenmaier
PrefacebyJohnH.Bracey,Jr.
Founded in Chicago in 1969 from the rubble of the recently crumbled SDS, the Sojourner Truth Organization (STO) brought working-class consciousness to the forefront of New Left discourse, sending radicals back into the factories and thinking through the integration of radical politics into everyday realities. Through the influence of founding members like Noel Ignatiev and Don Hamerquist, STO took a Marxist approach to the question of race and revolution, exploring the notion of white skin privilege, and helping to lay the groundwork for the discipline of critical race studies.

A phenomenon that has stunned the publishing world and may just redefine the modern parenting market.The Washington Post The one shortcoming of the instant international bestseller and cultural phenomenon Go the Fuck to Sleep is that children cannot join in the fun.

Akashic Books Letters to Kurt

Eric Erlandson
Letters to Kurt is an anguished, angry, and tender meditation on the octane and ether of rock and roll and its many moons: sex, drugs, suicide, fame, and rage. Its part The Dream Songs, part Charles Bukowski, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, and The Clash. Rants, reflections, and gunshot fill these fifty-two prose poems. They are raw, funny, sad, and searching. This will make a beautiful book for anyone who loved Nirvana and Hole and the time and place when their music changed everything. Ultimately, its an elegy for Kurt Cobain and the suicide idols who tragically fail to find salvation in their amazing music. Eric Erlandson is a musician best known as the co-founder (with Courtney Love), songwriter, and lead guitarist of alternative rock band Hole. In 1991 Hole released its debut album Pretty on the Inside and quickly achieved underground success in the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe. Erlandson and Love then signed a contract with Geffen/DGC, and with new band members they wrote and recorded their major label debut Live Through This. The album, ranked by Time magazine as one of the top one hundred albums of all time, received tremendous critical acclaim and sold over a million copies. Following the deaths of Loves husband Kurt Cobain and Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff, the band toured the world in support of Live Through This. In 1998 Hole released the album Celebrity Skin, which also received rave reviews. In 2002 Erlandson and Love officially disbanded Hole. Since then, Erlandson has been involved in a number of musical projects including producing, touring, and songwriting. He has studied creative writing and occasionally reads at various poetry events in Los Angeles, California, where he lives.
A poetic elegy for Kurt Cobain from the man who created the band Hole with Cobains wife Courtney Love.

New York Press The Dewey Decimal System is proof positive that the private detective will remain a serious and seriously enjoyable literary archetype.PopMatters Larsons voice is note-perfect in this tour-de-force.Mystery Scene Magazine After a series of large-scale terrorist attacks, New York City is reduced to a shadow of its former self. As the city struggles to dig itself out of the wreckage, a nameless, obsessive-compulsive veteran with a spotty memory, a love for literature, and a strong if unique moral code has taken up residence at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library. Dubbed Dewey Decimal for his desire to reorganize the librarys stock, he gets by as bagman and muscle for unscrupulous politicians and underworld figuresas detailed in the first book in this series, The Dewey Decimal System. In The Nervous System, Decimal, attempting to clean up loose ends after the violent events in the first book, stumbles upon information concerning the gruesome murder of a prostitute and a prominent US senators involvement. Immediately he finds himself chasing ghosts and fighting for his life, pursued by Blackwater-style private military contractors and the ever-present specter of his own past. Decimal confronts a twilight world of Korean hostess bars, childhood bogeymen, and the face of the military-industrial complex gone haywireall framed by a city descending toward total chaos.

Akashic Books The Jesus Lizard Book

The Jesus Lizard
The Jesus Lizard Book is a coffee table affair of exclusive photography, art, and other imagery with written pieces by all four members of the seminal indie rock band The Jesus Lizard. The layout is stylish and elegant, particularly in contrast with the harshness of much of the bands music. Included are many Polaroids by David Wm. Sims, a delicious recipe by David Yow, a concise list of every show The Jesus Lizard played, and writings by the three producers who recorded the bandSteve Albini, Andy Gill, and Garth Richardson. There is biographic material of each member that covers childhood to the demise of the group. Other contributors include, but are not limited to, Mike Watt, Alexander Hacke, Steve Gullick, Krist Novoselic, Shelley Leopold, Jeff Lane, KRK, Bernie Bahrmasel, and more. The Jesus Lizard (19881999) hailed from Chicago by way of Austin, Texas. They released seven records on the independent record label Touch and Go, and a few more on different major labels. Many have called them the best live band of the 1990s. Unlike most of their contemporaries, The Jesus Lizard managed to create a beast, an entirely autonomous being, an entity that outgrew and is very likely to also outlive their makers. While each and every personality in the group is an integral part of its mentality and thus ultimately irreplaceable, it is the rapport and friction between them which makes the music possible; allows it to blossom and eventually break free. The Jesus Lizard is: David Yow (vocals), David Wm. Sims (bass), Duane Denison (guitar), and Mac McNeilly (drums).
Legendary indie rockers The Jesus Lizard present an idiosyncratic, impassioned book document of their rock and roll conquests.

Jane Springer
Jane Springers poems are dazzling, devastating, and utterly original sound-rich, sensual, sensationalyou will be carried away.Naomi Shihab Nye On one hand Murder Ballad is a fierce critique of Jane Springers Southern inheritance, on the other these poems quickly reveal the enigmatic beauty and sharply ironic humor contained in the still-relevant colloquialisms that often shape her characters. Her loose definitions of Southern-isms are the jumping-off place for the masterful poet as she leaps, narrates, and redefines the American South. From Pretty As You Please: Then when youre nightfishing the Mississippi & catching a bucket of nothing, lonely as a single barge weeping its rust in the wateryou see themon a bridge above you, hair slick as frogskin& glittering from skinny dipping as in bucknaked & necking& suddenly the moon is an empty jar of mayo. Jane Springers first book Dear Blackbird (University of Utah Press, 2007) won the Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize. Her other awards include an AWP Intro Prize, the Robert Penn Warren Prize for Poetry, an NEA fellowship, and a Whiting Writers Award. She teaches poetry at Hamilton College in upstate New York, where she lives with her husband, son, and two dogs. Her poems have appeared in or are forthcoming from such places as Fugue, Oxford American, and The Southern Review.
If David Sedaris was a Southern female poet, this is the book he would writecertainly he would read it.

If twentieth century California artists established a tradition of speculative innovation, then Western Practice ushers visionary West Coast poetics into the twenty-first. Motikas ingenious ear renders place prosodic; his baroque leaps tender a sprung rhythm that turns history into a theory at maps edge. The mystic / gather of this music gives Motikas ambitious projective praxis visual beauty and structural rigor. Open this bookcrawl inside & lie down against the future.Brian Teare Shaped by Californias cultural and political landscape, Western Practice reflects on the rituals of artistic activity, including an obsessive scrutinizing of the founders of Los Angeles postwar art scene, from composer Harry Partch to painter Richard Diebenkorn.

Alice James Books Sudden Dog

Matthew Pennock
Its only America, writes Matthew Pennock. We watch it unravel like a fourth act without direction. And so in Pennocks fine first collection, we find a country of war and surveillance, an economy of boom and collapse and a consciousness built of fragments assembled, admired, broken again. Sudden Dog is a troubling, moving, and memorable book, that returnsstrangely and via estrangementto love.Mark Wunderlich Honest and vulnerable, Sudden Dogs speaker ardently engages the self as drunken romantic, or even as domesticated animal in the loud realm of the real. We follow Matthew Pennock because he convinces us of his singular and lyrical voice, because he shows us how to be reckless yet stoic, dignified yet sardonic, quick to joke yet on the verge of tears. From Colorwheel: Sick, smug little bastards like the lindens I sit under every Monday, which were, a few weeks ago, slashes of ink against boring grey overcast. Now variations of green on blue, the little fuckers think theyre so hot, Ive got color too, Color Safe Tide colors wrapped in citrus and sex against the sky that clears the bottom line of anything less than sublime Matthew Pennock received his MFA from Columbia University. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in literary journals including Western Humanities Review, LIT, Denver Quarterly, New York Quarterly, and American Literary Review. He lives in Manhattan, New York. He teaches at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and works at Yeshiva University.
This post-modern Romantic struggles against the frenetic torpor of modernity and gives us poems that make us feel more alive. Marketing Plans

Karl O. Knausgaard
TranslatedbyDonBartlett
Winner of the 2009 Brage Prize, the 2010 Book of the Year Prize in Morgenbladet, the 2010 P2 Listeners Prize, and the 2004 Norwegian Critics Prize and nominated for the 2010 Nordic Council Literary Prize. No one in his generation equals Knausgaard.Dagens Nringsliv A tremendous piece of literature.Politiken (Denmark) To the heart, life is simple: it beats for as long as it can. Then it stops. Sooner or later, one day or another, this thumping motion shuts down of its own accord. . . . The changes of these first hours happen so slowly and are performed with such an inevitability that there is almost a touch of ritual about them, as if life capitulates according to set rules, a kind of gentlemans agreement. Almost ten years have passed since Karl O. Knausgaards father drank himself to death. He is now embarking on his third novel while haunted by self-doubt. Knausgaard breaks his own life story down to its elementary particles, often recreating memories in real time, blending recollections of images and conversation with profound questions in a remarkable way. Knausgaard probes into his past, dissecting strugglesgreat and smallwith great candor and vitality. Articulating universal dilemmas, this Proustian masterpiece opens a window into one of the most original minds writing today. Karl O. Knausgaard was born in Norway in 1968. His debut novel Out of This World won the Norwegian Critics Prize and his A Time for Everything was nominated for the Nordic Council Prize.
A Norwegian Marcel Proust. This nerve-striking, addictive piece of hyper-realism has created a phenomenon throughout Scandinavia. Written as though his very life were at stake. Marketing Plans

She made up her mind to close them again and return to her dream. She saw a small white candle whose wan light trembled and flickered in the fog . . . Milias response to her new husband Mansour and to the Middle East of 1947 is to close her eyes and drift into parallel worlds where identities shift, where she can converse with the dead and foresee the future. As the novel progresses, Milias dreams become more navigable than the strange and obstinate reality in which she finds herself, and the two worlds grow ever more entangled.

Miljenko Jergovic
TranslatedbyStelaTomaevic
Jergovic is an enormously talented storyteller.Aleksandar Hemon A masterful collection of stories that draws the reader into a boys episodic, profoundly personal recounting of his war-torn homeland and childhood. Dazzling, rhapsodic, and above all compassionate, these linked stories, deeply rooted in place and history, break down stereotypes and humanize a complex cultural conflict. Miljenko Jergovic, born in 1966, is a poet, novelist, and journalist. He was awarded the Ivan Goran Kovacic Award and the Mak Dizdar Award for Warsaw Observatory and the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Prize for Sarajevo Marlboro (Archipelago Books, 2003), now in its third printing.

Book of My Mother
Albert Cohen
TranslatedbyBellaCohen
One of the most beautiful love stories ever written.Paris Match Shortly after Albert Cohen left France for London to escape the Nazis, he received news of his mothers death in Marseille. Unable to mourn her, he expressed his grief in a series of moving pieces for La France libre, which later grew into Book of My Mother. Achingly honest, intimate, moving, it is a tribute to all mothers. Albert Cohen (18951981) is the author of Solal (1930); Mangeclous (1938); Belle du Seigneur (1968), which was awarded the French Academys Grand Prix du Roman; and Les Valereux (1969).

Archipelago Books Mister Blue

Jacques Poulin
TranslatedbySheilaFischman
This is a great and very beautiful novel.Le Devoir One of my favorite writers in the world is Jacques Poulin.Rawi Hage Poulin shares a mix of detached humor, fantasy, and compassion with Vonnegut and Salinger.The StarPhoenix Spring had arrived. The day was so mild that I came down from the attic earlier than usual. I went out on the beach with Mr. Blue and walked to the end of the bay. I was taking a little rest, sitting on a rock that faced the river, when suddenly I noticed some footprints in the sand. Arguably Jacques Poulins masterpiece, this tender and perceptive tale explores the textures of solitude, compassion, language, fear, and the imagination. Meet Jim: a writer suffering from vivid dreams and bouts of writers block. Meet Mister Blue, a dignified and prophetic cat and Jims sole companion that spring on the Ile dOrlans. That is, until the day they discover a copy of The Arabian Nights in a cave along the beach. Tinged with heartbreak as well as joy, Mister Blue is a novel of subtle shadows and emotions, of wide-open blue skya ballet of the possible. Born in the Beauce region of Qubec, Jacques Poulin is the author of fourteen novels. Among his many honors are the Governor Generals Award, the 1990 and 2000 Molson Prize for the Arts, the Gilles-Corbeil Prize, and the France-Qubec Prize. He lives in Qubec City, Qubec.
By the Governor General's Awardwinning writer, a tender and perceptive novel exploring solitude, empathy, and the art of writing.

Arsenal Pulp Press The Tastes of Ayurveda

MoreHealthful,HealingRecipesfortheModernAyurvedic
Amrita Sondhi
Ayurveda, the five thousand-year-old healing tradition from India linked to the development of yoga, is based on the concept that ones physical, mental, and spiritual well-being comes from a number of sources, including a healthful diet based on ones individual constitution. In this vegetarian cookbook, Amrita Sondhi, author of The Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook (now in its fourth printing), provides new twists on traditional Ayurvedic recipes that are also inspired by the growing popularity of whole grains (quinoa, bulgur, and barley) and raw foods. The Ayurvedic diet is based on the concept of three doshas: vata (air), pitta (fire), and kapha (earth). Each of us has a primary dosha that we can strive to maintain at a healthy balance, but which can cause problems if excessive. The book includes a questionnaire so readers can determine their own primary dosha and then look for recipes that will help them to maintain or reduce it for optimal health. Recipes include modern interpretations of Indian cuisine (spinach feta and green chili samosas and mango and coconut kulfi), and Ayurvedic spins on vegetarian fare (sprouted barley rainbow pilaf and raw zucchini hummus). The book also includes yoga and breathing exercises that one can easily do at home or at work, full-color recipe photographs, and information on sprouting/fermenting techniques and backyard gardening. The Tastes of Ayurveda offers simple and delicious ways to achieve a more healthful and serene life. Amrita Sondhi is a yoga instructor, Ayurvedic cooking teacher, and the owner of Movement, a sustainable fiber clothing line.

First published in 1979, Crossings was revolutionary for its frank, unsettling portrayal of Vicky, an educated and intelligent woman in the 1960s who becomes embroiled in an emotionally abusive relationship with Nick, a violent ex-con. The book caused a furor upon publication and in fact was banned from some feminist bookstores until other writers came to its defense, including Jane Rule, who wrote: This portrait of an artist as a young woman should stand as a testimony of the courage and cost of being a woman and a writer. Crossings was playwright Betty Lamberts only novel; she died in 1983.

Aunt Lute BooksCelebrating Thirty Years Borderlands / La Frontera

The New Mestiza Fourth Edition
Gloria Anzalda
Introduction by Norma Cant and Ada Hurtado
Rooted in Gloria Anzaldas experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the essays and poems in this volume profoundly challenged, and continue to challenge, how we think about identity. Borderlands / La Frontera remaps our understanding of what a border is, presenting it not as a simple divide between here and there, us and them, but as a psychic, social, and cultural terrain that we inhabit, and that inhabits all of us. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition features a new introduction by scholars Norma Cant (University of Texas at San Antonio) and Ada Hurtado (University of California at Santa Cruz) as well as a revised critical bibliography. Gloria Anzalda was a Chicana-tejana-lesbian-feminist poet, theorist, and fiction writer from south Texas. She was the editor of the critical anthology Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras (Aunt Lute Books, 1990), co-editor of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, and winner of the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award. She taught creative writing, Chicano studies, and feminist studies at University of Texas, San Francisco State University, Vermont College of Norwich University, and University of California Santa Cruz. Anzalda passed away in 2004 and was honored around the world for shedding visionary light on the Chicana experience by receiving the National Association for Chicano Studies Scholar Award in 2005. Gloria was also posthumously awarded her doctoral degree in literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz. A number of scholarships and book awards, including the Anzalda Scholar Activist Award and the Gloria E. Anzalda Award for Independent Scholars, are awarded in her name every year.

TheStoryofAnnMeyersDrysdale
Ann Meyers Drysdale with Joni Ravenna

ForewordbyJuliusDr.JErving
Annie was one of the best players ever. I didnt say male or female; I said ever.Bill Russell, former Boston Celtics player Ann Meyers Drysdale is one of the greatest stars in the history of basketball. But her rise wasnt without controversy. Her 1979 NBA bid to play with the Indiana Pacers brought a barrage of criticism. But Ann simply wanted to play among the best. She had always competed with the guys, and she never let anyone keep her down. In You Let Some Girl Beat You? she shares her inspirational story for the first time. A female first in many categories, Meyers Drysdale was the first woman ever signed to a four-year athletic scholarship to UCLA, where she remains the only four-time Bruin basketball All American, male or female. Ann was also the only woman ever asked to compete in ABC Sports Superstars, pitting her against elite athletes like Mark Spitz, Joe Frazier, O.J. Simpson, and Mark Gastineau. After her athletic career Ann Meyers Drysdale went on to do color commentary on all the national stations. She also married Don Drysdale, legendary pitcher and announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, making them the first ever married couple enshrined in their respective sports Hall of Fame. Today Ann continues to break through barriers. She is the only female vice president in the NBA (she is vice president of the Phoenix Suns), and is also the general manager of the WNBAs Phoenix Mercury, which has won two WNBA championships since she took over four years ago. The New York Times featured her prominently in a piece in August 2011 called Pioneers Continue to Shepherd Womens Basketball. Time magazine recently named her one of the ten greatest female athletes of all time.

Grief is Amanda Adams constant companion, both her oppressor and her guide, as she gropes her way through a heart-rending experience.Kristin Henderson, author of While Theyre at War: The True Story of American Families on the Homefront Five months pregnant, Amanda Rose Adams and her husband were given two abysmal choices regarding her pregnancy: force her baby to fight for his life through countless invasive and dangerous surgeries, or perform a late term abortion. Despite the fact that Liam was missing half his heart, Amanda chose life. Amandas emotional plate was full as she found herself redefining the usual expectations a mother has for her child. Instead of wondering where hed go to college, she wondered if he would survive his first birthday. The eventual acceptance of Amandas grief helped her accept her new role as a powerful advocate. Over the course of seven years, together, as a family, Amanda and her husband helped Liam endure twelve heart surgeries, each time taking him to the brink of death. Heart Warriors is Amandas personal and emotional story that initiates a powerful dialogue about infant mortality and hope. Amanda Rose Adams is a Heart Mom and a powerful voice within the coronary heart disease (CHD) community by working closely with cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and nurses from Harvard University, Baylor University, University of Southern California, University of Illinois, and CU Boulder Medical. She founded two CHD organizations, organizes medical conferences for Hypoplastic Right Hearts, attends medical advisory board meetings and national chapter presidents meetings for the Childrens Heart Foundation, and chaired the Congenital Heart Walk in Colorado. As a pioneer of CHD advocacy, she is also firmly rooted in the social network of CHD parents and survivors.
A family conquers grief and lost expectations raising their son born with half a heart while navigating complex medical challenges.

Bellevue Literary Press Inukshuk

Gregory Spatz
A gifted writer.Alan Cheuse, NPRs All Things Considered [Spatz offers] what I look for in any book: people I can dream myself into and be remade in the process.Dorothy Allison, author of Trash and Bastard Out of Carolina One of the most innovative and unusual fictional incarnations Ive ever read of the persistent allure of Sir John Franklins final, fatal Arctic voyage. Its a remarkable accomplishment.Russell Potter, author of Arctic Spectacles John Franklin has moved his fifteen-year-old son to the remote northern Canadian town of Houndstitch to make a new life together after his wife, Thomas mother, left them. Mourning her disappearance, John writes poetry and escapes into an affair, while Thomas, isolated and bullied, withdraws into a fantasy recreation of the infamous Victorian-era arctic expedition led by British explorer Sir John Franklin. Artistically gifted yet dangerously obsessive, Thomas gives himself scurvy so that he can sympathize with the characters in the film of his mindand is almost lost himself. A poignant tale of the vulnerability of adolescence interspersed with powerfully evoked scenes of the legendary Franklin crews descent into despair, madness, and cannibalism on the Arctic tundra, Inukshuk offers readers a modern family drama as well as a compelling historical adventure. Gregory Spatz is the author, most recently, of the novel Fiddlers Dream. His stories have appeared in many publications, including The New Yorker. A graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop and recipient of a Washington State Book Award, he teaches at Eastern Washington University in Spokane and plays the fiddle in the JUNO-nominated bluegrass band John Reischman and the Jaybirds.
The gripping tale of a young mans obsession with an Arctic explorers doomed quest to find the Northwest Passage.

Bellevue Literary Press Understories

Tim Horvath
Horvath seems to be channeling, all at once, Borges and Calvino and Kevin Brockmeier. And it all works.Rebecca Makkai, author of The Borrower The Understory is a terrific reach through history from the pre- and postNazi era in Germany up to the present. . . . This is a wonderful story, a first-rate creation by a fine writer.Bill Henderson, president and editor of Pushcart Press, in his judges statement for the Raymond Carver Short Story Award What if there was a city that consisted only of restaurants? What if Paul Gauguin had gone to Greenland instead of Tahiti? What if there was a field called Umbrology, the study of shadows, where physicists and shadow puppeteers worked side by side? Tim Horvath explores all of this and more as he blends the everyday and wondrous to contend with age-old themes of loss, identity, imagination, and the search for human connection. Full of speculative daring though firmly anchored in the tradition of realism, these stories easily stand in the company of contemporary masters such as Steven Millhauser and Jim Shepard. Whether making offhand references to Mystery Science Theater, providing a new perspective on Martin Heideggers philosophy and forays into Nazism, or following the imaginary travels of a library book, Horvaths writing is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Tim Horvath teaches creative writing at Chester College of New England and Bostons Grub Street writing center and works part-time as a counselor in a psychiatric hospital, primarily with autistic children and adolescents.

Bellevue Literary Press Mind Wars

BrainScienceandtheMilitaryinthe21stCentury
Jonathan D. Moreno
There has been virtually no debate on the ethical questions raised by the brave new brain technologies. . . . The time to speak up is before the genie is out of the bottle.The Wall Street Journal One of the most important thinkers describes the literally mind-boggling possibilities that modern brain science could present for national security. Lawrence J. Korb, former US Assistant Secretary of Defense The first book of its kind, Mind Wars covers the ethical dilemmas and bizarre history of cutting edge technology and neuroscience developed for military applications. As the author discusses the innovative Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the role of the intelligence community and countless university science departments in preparing the military and intelligence services for the twenty-first century, he also charts the future of national security. Fully updated and revised, this edition features new material on deep brain stimulation, neuro hormones, and enhanced interrogation. With in-depth discussions of psyops mind control experiments, drugs that erase both fear and the need to sleep, microchip brain implants and advanced prosthetics, supersoldiers and robot armies, Mind Wars may read like science fiction or the latest conspiracy thriller, but its subjects are very real and changing the course of modern warfare. Jonathan D. Moreno has been a senior staff member for three presidential advisory commissions and has served on a number of Pentagon advisory committees. He is an ethics professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the editor-in-chief of the Center for American Progress online magazine Science Progress.

Biblioasis Malarky
Anakana Schofield
Malarky spins and glitters like a coin flipped in the airnow searingly tragic, now blackly funny. The language is joyful and exuberant, the characters thoughtful and deeply felt. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.Annabel Lyon Good writing and dark wit always excite me and they come together thrillingly in this book. It has a quiet grip on the strangeness of the interior and exterior worlds of love and politics. I delighted in the writing and the scope. Jenny Diski With Malarky, Anakana Schofield has delivered a character as extraordinary as Bertolt Brechts Mother Courage, and a domestic situation that rivals Samuel Becketts Endgame for its stagnant and sorrowful absurdity. Our Woman Philomena has just caught her son in the fields with another man. Shes been accosted by Red the Twit, who energetically discloses the infidelitiesreal, imagined, or in any event peculiarof Our Womans husband. Swamped by a confusion she refuses to let overcome her, Philomena embarks on a rural odyssey that skirts madness, passes through grief, and returns her to the remarkable resilience of spirit that will make Our Woman the character of the decade. Schofields wicked humor is everywhere apparent, and Malarky, brilliantly drawn in the cadences of contemporary Ireland, is an absolutely peerless tour-de-force. Anakana Schofield is an Irish Canadian writer of fiction, drama, essays, and criticism. She contributes to the London Review of Books and The Globe and Mail (among others). She has lived in London, Dublin, and Vancouver; Malarky is her first novel.
What happens when a woman loves her boy so intensely she destroys him? A striking new voice in Irish fiction.

BIS Publishers Ridiculous Design Rules Series

Anneloes van Gaalen
Anneloes van Gaalen never stops researching ridiculous rules in creative sectors and we are thankful for that because it produces more of these wonderful and best-selling Ridiculous Design Rules books, which make perfect gifts for creative people and those who love creative work. Five books have been published and reprinted so far, and BIS is now pleased to announce the next three new titles: Never Sleep with the Director (ridiculous film rules), Never Photograph People Eating (ridiculous photography rules), and Never Touch a Painting When Its Wet (ridiculous art rules). These three fields of creativity will attract the interest of the general public, besides of course appealing to the professionals working in these sectors. In this series, ridiculous is a relative term, because what is nonsense for one can be an important guideline for another. These pleasing and educational books are not about laying down the law. For each of the fifty-one rules covered in each book, van Gaalen refers to quotes by famous fellow creators, who either think there is something to the rule or have made a personal variation on it. Whether you agree with them or not, the Ridiculous Design books sharpen your own thoughts about the rules and the assumed truths within the creative disciplines. Each rule is convincingly illustrated, with the illustrations either confirming or disproving the rule in question.

Bitter Lemon Press Nights of Awe

Harri Nyknen
TranslatedbyKristianLondon
An outstanding plot, an entertaining read. Give us more Inspector Kafka novels from the far North.Frnkische Zeitung Nyknen writes clever dialogue and his laconic humor is an enjoyment for every reader.Aamulehti Unlike his Scandinavian contemporaries, Nyknen delights with an eccentric hero and a wonderful sense for dialogue. This is a tight thriller with an unexpected, explosive end.Hamburger Nachrichten During the period known as the Days of Awe that lead up to Yom Kippur, Ariel Kafka, inspector in the Violent Crime Unit of the Helsinki police and one of two Jewish policemen in Finland, is confronted with the most difficult case of his career. Two Arabs are killed near the capital and shortly after Kafka discovers two more bodies at an Iraqi-owned garage. Are these deaths evidence of gang warfare or international terrorism? When it transpires that an Israeli minister will make an unofficial visit to Helsinki, matters become truly complicated. The Finnish Security Police and Mossad all have a role to play and Kafka is on a trail that leads back to his youth. Harri Nyknen, born in Helsinki in 1953, was a well-known crime journalist before turning to fiction. He won the Finnish crime writing award The Clue in 1990 and in 2001. His fiction exposes the local underworld through the eyes of the criminal, the terrorist, and, most recently, from the point of view of an eccentric Helsinki police inspector.

Page after page of rich prose, reflecting the essence of lifea wonderful meditation on death.LExpress A disturbing novel, a poignant juxtaposition of life and death, landscapes and short thoughts, obsessed by the fathers role in a sons life. A novel to be devoured in one go.Le Monde American readers of A Jew Must Die will quickly understand why Chessex was honored with the Goncourt. Read him for the historical context and for the sheer beauty of his prose.Booklist A haunting work, reminiscent of Albert Camus, that portrays with exquisite psychological detail the emotional crisis in the life of Jean Calmet, a young Swiss schoolteacher. As we watch the fathers cremation in the opening chapter, we sense that, even though his fathers body has been reduced to ashes, his spirit survives to haunt Jean. His fathers prodigious vitality and virility had crushed his family and ruined his sons childhood. Even after his fathers death, Jean cannot be free. The parental ogres actions continue to suck Jean into a vortex of despair. Jacques Chessex, a giant of Swiss literature, won the Grand Prix de la langue franaise and was awarded the Grand Prix Jean Giono for his entire work. Bitter Lemon Press published his novels The Vampire of Ropraz and A Jew Must Die to high acclaim. He died in 2009 at age seventy-five.
Semi-autobiographical and Jacques Chessexs bestselling novel to date, The Tyrant describes a tyrannical fathers destruction of a young teachers life.

Bitter Lemon Press No Sale

Patrick Conrad
TranslatedbyJonathanLynn
Praise for Patrick Conrads Limousine: Unremitting black humour.Literary Review Exquisite, exciting, stomach-churning, sombre, gruesome, hilarious.De Morgen The punishment has rarely been made to fit the crime with such horrifying literalism as in this novel.The Times For Victor Cox, a professor of film history, the Hollywood films noirs of the 1940s and 1950s are more real than his daily life. When his wife is found drowned, Cox is the first murder suspect. He falls in love with a student who looks like the 1920s film star Louise Brooks, but she disappears at a Belgian seaside resort. Smeared in lipstick in their hotel room are the words No Sale, the same words Elizabeth Taylor wrote on a mirror in Butterfield 8. Subsequently, a series of gruesome killings of young women, all modeled on violent deaths in films that he knows and loves, lead the police back to Cox, who starts to doubt his own sanity and innocence. With its stylish writing, pointed references to cinema classics, and blend of horror and humor, this is a powerful psychological thriller. It won the Diamond Bullet Award, the Edgar Award for Belgium. Patrick Conrad, born in 1945 in Antwerp, is a Flemish poet, screenwriter, film director, and novelist. He lives in Provence, in the south of France. Limousine, a previous novel, is being made into a film with Kelsey Grammar, to be released in 2012.
A series of young womens murders, all based on violent deaths in classic Hollywood film noirs, baffles the Antwerp police.

Black Rose Books Community of Rights Rights of Community

Daniel Fischlin and Martha Nandorfy
This book is a major contribution to a new discourse on the notion of rights in relation to community.Roger Clark, former Secretary General of Amnesty International This important book on the recovery of community rights shows how we lost our collective freedoms and how we can reclaim them.Vandana Shiva, author Why has the individual largely superseded community as the privileged focus of rights discourse? How have contemporary notions of community betrayed the very origins of the term in the name of exploitative economic and political practices? Is it possible to re-conceive rights discourse in ways that acknowledge the diverse communities from which they arise? Following on the dialogue they initiated in Eduardo Galeano: Through the Looking Glass and The Concise Guide to Global Human Rights, Daniel Fischlin and Martha Nandorfy examine the assumptions made about community and expose the impact they have on human rights debates. This final volume of the trilogy looks beyond the framework that bankrupts rights of any real meaning and thus reaffirms the power and agency of communities in the face of neo-liberal discourses of privatization. This book will be on the shelves of rights activists everywhere as an inspiration to their own work in building better communities. Daniel Fischlin and Martha Nandorfy both teach at the University of Guelph.
Examines community and human rights in a realistic way by talking with those most affected.

BOA Editions, Ltd. The Innocent Party

Aimee Parkison
Aimee Parkison most often begins softly, slowly stripping away each layer of social interaction to get at what is numinous and frightening and necessary about living in the real world. These are stories both about the difficulty and the intense suddenness of human connection, about the profound link that exists between being in love and being alone.Brian Evenson From The Glass Girl: On certain evenings in dark motels, she could transform her lip into the edge of the bottle, imagining her face was made of amber glass and the men paused above her only to take a drink of breath. Over the years, men drank and drank until there were only two sips left inside. They began sucking the air out of the glass that grew warm in the wrong places because of heat radiating off their hands. The mens breath along with white feathers fell over autumn winds drifting through open windows. In this collection, Kurt Vonnegut Fiction Prizewinner Aimee Parkisons characters struggle to understand what happens when the innocent party becomes the guilty party. With magical realist flair, secrets are aired with dirty laundry, but the stains never come clean. Carol Anshaw writes, Aimee Parkison offers a distinct new voice to contemporary fiction. Her seductive stories explore childhood as a realm of sorrows, and reveal the afflictions of adults who emerge from this private geography. Aimee Parkison has an MFA from Cornell University. She is associate professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where she teaches creative writing.

FindingBalanceOnAndOffTheBicycle
Joe Kurmaskie
David Sedaris trapped in the body of Lance Armstrong.Akron Beacon Journal The fifth book in the Metal Cowboy series hits the open road in high gear and never looks back. Whether hes outsprinting African elephants and dictators in Zimbabwe or confounding Mexican freedom fighters in Copper Canyon with nothing more than broken Spanish, questionable geopolitical skills, and the magic of a bicycle, Joe Metal Cowboy Kurmaskie has mastered the painful art of falling down and the flat-out rush of getting back up again. He celebrates beautiful wrecks on five continents, the extraordinary people met along the way, and all the awe-inspiring, sweat-soaked miles ridden in between. This collection, a kaleidoscope of bicycle touring adventures told through exuberant stories spanning four decades and thirty countries, with many illustrations, embraces the absurdity of living at any speed, the fragility in each of us the world over, and simple wonders waiting just up the road.
The latest in the popular Metal Cowboy series of bicycle touring adventures.

Breakaway Books The Lola Papers

Marathons,Misadventures,andHowIBecameaSeriousRunner
Amy Marxkors
Amy Marxkors The Lola Papers are amazingly insightful and thought-provoking. John L. Parker, Jr., author of Once A Runner and Again to Carthage A simple request for training advice turned into a year of high-intensity coaching, unexpected adventure, unlikely friendships, and the realization that life, like the marathon, isnt about the finish line. Through the journal of Lola, a nom de plume created to embody the spirit of all runners, Amy Marxkors chronicles her journey of self discovery as she decides to find out just how good she could be if she really tried. Humorous and endearingly candid, The Lola Papers reveals the universal truths and profound humanity hidden in the miles, showing that sometimes the greatest gift in life is getting more than what you bargained for. Each chapter in The Lola Papers serves a twofold purpose. On the topmost level, it is the direct account of a specific running experiencea training run, a blown workout, a solitary trail, or a grueling race. On a deeper level that reaches beyond running and into the soul of humanity, Lolas stories are a reflection of the struggles and emotions of life, the supreme test of endurance. Dedication. Fatigue. Failure. Victory. Monotony. Adventure. Sorrow. Joy. Redemption. And the unshakeable determination to keep on going. The Lola Papers uses the sport of distance running as a lens to examine self, relationships, and the world around us.

Breakaway Books MoonWind at Large

SailingHitherandYon
Matthew Goldman
Matthew Constant Waterman Goldman and MoonWind constantly roam the waters of southeast New England, where these stories are centered. Each tale is short and sweet and possessed of an ineffable bemusement. MoonWind is a twenty-six foot sloop with an eight foot beam. This means that she was designed for close dancing, close encounters, moderate winds, six-day weekends, and numerous fabulous voyages. Her anchor holds her most of the time, her tiller seldom breaks in adverse conditions, and her bronze bell on the bulkhead rings only as her rail dips to the brine. For anyone who enjoys the art of sailing, join MoonWind and learn the exquisite relevance of the wind upon the water. Constant Waterman early in life acquired that pernicious habit of messing about in boats, for which the only cure is to move to the top of Mount Washington. Having rejected the landlubber lifestyle, he has managed to waste the past sixty years of his boyhood messing about in boats. The alternative, to grow up and work for a living, never did appeal to him.
Further adventures of the Constant Waterman, whose wry, joyful voice makes his insane love of boats quite contagious.

Chin Music Press Subduction

Todd Shimoda
ArtbyL.J.C.Shimoda
Shimoda is a consummate storyteller with a clean, relaxed, graceful style. Shelf Awareness Subduction is a timely, electrifying thriller set on a tiny, earthquake-plagued island. Endo, a young physician unjustly charged with a patients death, is banished to the island to care for the few remaining elderly residents. Determined to remain on their crumbling island and resuscitate their defunct fishing industry, the aging islanders plot against all outsiders. After a mysterious death and attacks on Endo and fellow newcomers, he discovers why the islanders dont wish to leave: years ago, jealousies, lust, and violence ripped apart their lives, and the wounds havent healed. The aftershocks of the islanders past, as well as Endos own troubled history, replay violently in the present just as a massive earthquake strikes. Exquisitely designed with L.J.C. Shimodas artwork throughout, Subduction also features a sixteen-page illustrated retelling of the myth of Kashima, the god who controls a giant, thrashing catfish that causes earthquakes. The myth offers clues to the mysterious motives of the islands denizens. Todd Shimoda won the 2010 Elliot Cades Award for Literature from the Hawaii Literary Arts Council. His previous novel Oh! was an NPR Best Summer Read. The Fourth Treasure was translated into six languages and named a notable book by the Kiriyama Prize. L.J.C. Shimoda is an accomplished artist, illustrator, and book designer. Her artwork and illustrations have appeared in her husband Todd Shimodas novels 365 Views of Mt. Fuji, The Fourth Treasure, and Oh!
Art and narrative collide in this psychological thriller set around mysterious earthquakes off Japans coast.

Cinco Puntos Press Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club
Benjamin Alire Senz
Benjamin Alire Senzs stories reveal how all bordersreal, imagined, sexual, human, the line between dark and light, addict and straightentangle those who live on either side. Take, for instance, the Kentucky Club on Avenida Jurez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. Its a touchstone for each of Senzs stories. His characters walk by, they might go in for a drink or to score, or they might just stay there for a while and let their story be told. Senz knows that the Kentucky Club, like special watering holes in all cities, is the contrary to borders. It welcomes Spanish and English, Mexicans and gringos, poor and rich, gay and straight, drug addicts and drunks, laughter and sadness, and even despair. Its a place of rich history and good drinks and cold beer and a long polished mahogany bar. Some days it smells like piss. Im going home to the other side. Thats a strange statement, but you hear it all the time at the Kentucky Club. Benjamin Alire Senz is a highly regarded writer of fiction, poetry, and childrens literature. Like these stories, his writing crosses borders and lands in our collective psyche. Poets & Writers Magazine named him one of the fifty most inspiring writers in the world. Hes been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and PEN Centers prestigious award for young adult fiction. Senz is the chair of the creative writing department of University of Texas at El Paso.
Sometimes the border is a mirror, sometimes an escape, and sometimes its just the bridge you cross to go home.

GrowingUpinaWarzone: AnAnthologyofEssaysfromAroundtheGlobe
Edited by J.L. Powers

Whats it like to grow up during war? To be a victim of violence or exiled from your homeland, culture, family, and even your own memories? When Americas talking heads talk about war, children and teenagers are often the forgotten part of the story. Yet who can forget images of the Vietnam baby lift, when Amer-Asian children were flown out of Vietnam to be adopted by Americans? Who can forget the horror of learning that Iranian children were sent on suicide missions to clear landmines? Who wasnt captivated by stories of the lost boys of Sudan, traveling thousands of miles alone through the desert, seeking shelter and safety? From the cartel-terrorized streets of Jurez to the bombed-out cities of Bosnia to Afghanistan under the Taliban, from Nazi-occupied Holland to the middle-class American home of a Vietnam vet, this collection of personal and narrative essays explores both the universal and particular experiences of children and teenagers who came of age during a time of war. J.L. Powers is the editor of Labor Pains and Birth Stories and the author of two young adult novels, most recently This Thing Called the Future, an alternative fantasy set in post-apartheid South Africa. She began collecting essays on children and war while pregnant with her first child and says, The experience was both painful and uplifting, not unlike giving birth. The most memorable aspect of these essays is their stark portrayal of both survival and hope in the midst of incredible suffering.
Coming of age during a time of war: fighting, dying, surviving. First-person accounts from around the globe.

City Lights Publishers I Must Resist

BayardRustinsLifeinLetters
Bayard Rustin
EditedwithanintroductionbyMichaelG.Long
Bayard Rustin has been called the lost prophet of the civil rights movement. A master strategist and tireless activist, he is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhis protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence. Despite these achievements, Rustin often remained in the background. As a gay man convicted of a morals charge, and as a socialist with a background in the Communist Party, he was well aware of the possibility that opponents would use him as fodder in their denunciations of the movement. He was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. Here we have Rustin in his own words, a collection of over 150 of his letters, some of them breathtakingly personal, remarkable for the insights they offer. His correspondents include the major progressives of his day as well as family and friends, and each letter is prefaced by a short, informative introduction. Bayard Rustin stands at the confluence of the great struggles for civil, legal, and human rights. In a nation still torn by racial hatred and violence, bigotry against homosexuals, and extraordinary divides between rich and poor, his eloquent voice is still essential today.
Bayard Rustins life story told in his own words through his intimate correspondence, published on the centennial of his birth.

He knows whos spinning, whos pandering, and whos putting money in his own pocket at the expense of logic, reason, and the public good.Michael Wolff, Vanity Fair media critic Theres a revolution going on, as ever-accelerating developments in digital information technologies change nearly every aspect of how we live, work, play, do business, and engage in politics.

City Lights Publishers The Historic Unfulfilled Promise

Howard Zinn
IntroductionbyNoamChomsky ForewordbyMatthewRothschild
Howard Zinns life and work are the stuff of legend. His Peoples History of the United States has sold over two million copies and has altered how we see and teach history. A hero in word and deed, Zinns views on freedom, fairness, history, democracy, and our own human potential are educational and transformative. In few places is the genius of his voice more crystallized and accessible than in the dozens of articles he penned for The Progressive magazine from 1980 to 2009, offered together here in book form for the first time. Whether critiquing the Barack Obama White House, the sorry state of US government and politics, the tragic futility of US military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, or the plight of working people in an economy rigged to benefit the rich and powerful, Zinns historical clarity, unflappable optimism, and unshakable questions reverberate throughout The Historic Unfulfilled Promise: Have our political leaders gone mad? What kind of country do we want to live in? What is national security? Do we have a right to occupy a country when the people of that country obviously do not want us there? Is not war itself terrorism? Should we not begin to consider all children, everywhere, as our own? Has the will of the people been followed? The Historic Unfulfilled Promise is a genuine work of conscience, rich in ideas, charged with energy; an invaluable introduction for the uninitiated and a must-have for Zinns fans.
Howard Zinns articles for The Progressive (19802009) offer timeless analysis and advocacy for freedom, democracy, and social change in the United States. Marketing Plans

AndOtherDifficultDialogues
Angela Y. Davis
IntroductionbyRobinD.G.Kelley
Davis arguments for justice are formidable. . . . The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied.The New York Times What is the meaning of freedom? Angela Y. Davis life and work have been dedicated to examining this fundamental question and to ending all forms of oppression that deny people their political, cultural, and sexual freedom. In this collection of twelve searing, previously unpublished speeches, Davis confronts the interconnected issues of power, race, gender, class, incarceration, conservatism, and the ongoing need for social change in the United States. With her characteristic brilliance, historical insight, and penetrating analysis, Davis addresses examples of institutional injustice and explores the radical notion of freedom as a collective striving for real democracynot a thing granted by the state, law, proclamation, or policy, but a participatory social process, rooted in difficult dialogues, that demands new ways of thinking and being. It is not too much, writes Robin D.G. Kelly in the introduction, to call her one of the worlds leading philosophers of freedom. The Meaning of Freedom articulates a bold vision of the society we need to build and the path to get there. This is her only book of speeches and her first full-length book since Are Prisons Obsolete? (2003). Angela Y. Davis is professor emerita at the University of California and author of eight books. She is a much sought after public speaker and an internationally known advocate for social justice. Robin D.G. Kelley is the author of many books and a professor at the University of Southern California.

Julian Talamantez Brolaski

Inspired by Ovids instructional Ars Amatoria, with overtones of Renaissance sonnet cycles, Advice for Lovers is a highly wrought volume of poems. Intricately formal but saucy and contemporary in diction, Advice for Lovers walks a fine line between the anything-goes orthography of the Elizabethans and the shifting etymologies of James Joyce. Sexy, kinky, disquieting, Advice for Lovers blazes an erotic trail into the twenty-first century. Author of gowanus atropolis (2011) and editor at Aufgabe and Litmus Press, Julian Talamantez Brolaski studied with Nathaniel Mackey, Elizabeth Willis, and Robert Hass. Xe rejects gendered pronouns and lives in Brooklyn, New York, and teaches at The New School.

A great novel that captures the loneliness and absurdity of the 1990s suburban experience. Dense and imaginative writing that often borders on the uncomfortable, but the edge of your seat is the best place to be.Joel Plaskett It is the summer of 1999, and the Sweltham family is leading an ordinary suburban existence. Former childhood volleyball champ Parker crisscrosses the continent as a sales rep for DynaFlex Sporting Goods, while his wife, Trixie, serves as the managing editor of Record of Truth, an unsuccessful journal for genocide studies. Their son Owen has just returned from juvenile prison to the vast horrors of high school. Heath, Parkers brother, has vowed to cut down on the weed and fried chicken for a regimen of self-improvement, obeying his AbDestroyer routine and crafting a screenplay that will dismantle the universe. All appears normal. Yet in the summers swelter, as Y2K anxiety grows, grim truths are revealed. Trixie is rocked by the discovery of an undiagnosable cerebral defect, rendering her toils at the journal trivial. Cataloging crunches and ignoring his Gulf War vet ex-girlfriend, Heath fights to reconcile confusions of the past with hopes for a meaningful future. Owens religious fixations feed his Robitussin binges and fantasies of self-destruction. And while peddling his wares at the annual Empowerment Expo, Parker forges an uneasy friendship with Adam, an African political refugee harboring his own violent aspirations. Sprawling yet scalpel-sharp, Maintenance, like some twenty-first-century White Noise, takes the suburbs to a geography you wont quite recognize. Rob Benvie has recorded and performed with the rock bands Thrush Hermit, Camouflage Nights, and The Dears. He is the author of the novel Safety of War.
Suburban malaise goes postal in this off-kilter look at modern life and our need to make a mark upon it.

New Theatre
Susan Steudel
New Theatre represents a lively foray into spaces geographical and utopian that investigate the process of meaning. Coolly cerebral poems about Vladimir Ilyich Lenins later life muse on power and identity, while an intimate autobiographical long poem counterpoints several quieter, equally surprising pieces that spike and bloom. Autumn. The sky streaked with silk parachutes or by tears. A sparkling epidemic. I think if the world truly tore in half it would seep blue. Susan Steudel is the recipient of several awards for her poetry, including a Vancouver Mayors Arts Award for emerging artist. New Theatre is her first book.

Judith Kitchen is a gifted writer of immense humanity, grace, and depth. Travel with her, trusting where she takes you.Naomi Shihab Nye Half in Shade is mysterious and brave, written with wit, humor, stabbing insight, and in prose that reverberates long after you turn the last page. Dinah Lenney When Judith Kitchen discovered boxes of family photographs in her mothers closet, it sparked curiosity and speculation. Piecing together her memories with the physical evidence in the photographs, Kitchen explores the gray areas between the present and the past, family and self, certainty and uncertainty. The result is a lyrical, ennobling anatomy of a heritage, family, motherdaughter relationships, and the recovery from an illness that captures with precision the forces of the heart and mind when none of us knows what lies beyond the moment, outside the frame. Judith Kitchen is the award-winning author of several works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Her work has won the Lillian Fairchild Award, a Pushcart Prize, and the S. Mariella Gable Fiction Prize. She has served as judge for the AWP Nonfiction Award, the Pushcart Prize in poetry, the Oregon Book Award, and the Bush Foundation fellowships, among others. The recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, Kitchen lives in Port Townsend, Washington, and serves on the faculty and as codirector of the Rainier Writing Workshop at Pacific Lutheran University.
A treasure trove of lost family photographs illuminates a singular perspective on family, memory, and history.

Coffee House Press Boarded Windows

Dylan Hicks
Do yourself a favor and read this smart, tender book. The characters will haunt you with their longing and inspire you with their sweet, caustic wit. Dylan Hicks knows his music and his prose is a song in itself.Sam Lipsyte A continually hilarious, hopes-dashed account of an indelible American character: the con man.Greil Marcus Wade Salem is a charismatic aesthete, drug dealer, and journeyman country musician. Hes also a complicated father figure to this novels narrator, whose cloudy childhood becomes both clearer and more confusing through Wades stories, jokes, and lectures. Through the eyes of a keenly observant, underemployed record collector, Wade emerges as a sly, disruptive force, at once seductive and maddening. Shifting between flashbacks from the seventies and nineties, Boarded Windows is a postmodern orphan story that explores the fallibility of memory and the weight of our social and cultural inheritance. Stylistically layered and searchingly lonesome, Dylan Hicks debut novel captures the music and mood of the fading embers of Americas boomer counterculture.

Amanda Nadelberg is the author of Isa the Truck Named Isadore, which won the Slope Editions Book Prize. She lives in the Bay Area, California.
Reminiscent of Gertrude Stein and James Schuyler, these poems build a playful and heartbreaking universe from ordinary moments, weather, landscape, and memory.

Ralph Nader
Ralph Naders Getting Steamed will make you repeat that phrase from the movie Network: Im as mad as Hell, and Im not going to take it anymore! His compendium of corporate crime, greed, and exploitation of honest people everywhere will raise your temperatureto the boiling point. Among Naders stories: Health insurance companies working to stop doctors from delivering care Nuclear power companies demanding loan guarantees out of your wallet Pharmaceutical companies putting your life on the line Bank bailouts galore Corporate profits soaring on the backs of Wal-Mart wages
Nader knows from his own experience that getting you steamed will work. As he writes: Our democracy is in decay, with no end in sight unless there is a sustained response from an aroused citizenry to stop the corporatists from blocking so many proven solutions for our countrys problems. First, we need to raise our expectations to realistically attainable levels so we can believe that a better country is possible soon. Back in the 1950s I, like many others in that era, lost several friends and classmates to motor vehicle crasheshorrific fatalities and injuries. I learned the truth about the auto industry bosses, who, in favor of styling priorities, restrained their safety engineers and scientists from installing long-known safety devices like seat belts, better brakes and tires, collapsible steering columns, and interior padding. And, I got steamed. As Jim Hightower put it, you wont read and weep; youll read and leap.

Photos of Atlanta by Martin Parr
Martin Parr
In this volume, which accompanies a massive exhibition scheduled for July 2012 at the High Museum of Art of Atlanta, Martin Parr explores his fascination with concepts such as leisure, consumption, communication, and how these themes play out in America. Martin Parr was born in Britain in 1952. Parrs early works in the 1970s are solely black and white photography, but after 1980 he switched to color film and continued his focus in color photography. His inspiration for color photography originated from the American photo-documentarists. In 1994 Parr became a member of Magnum Photographic Corporation.

Uncle Charlie was my favorite uncle. Hes my godfather. My grandfather was a grade-A hood, hustling, pimping women, abusive. My mother got out, but Uncle Charlie never did. My mother made sure I had an education. I went to art school. In 1981, I started realizing that my uncle was an interesting person to take pictures of, and it became my family album.
Charlie is fifty-one years old now and his life is a mess. He blames his kids, he blames his ex-wife, he blames my motherhe thinks he is the ultimate victim. I know enough about his life to know how he got there, but emotionally I cant cut him any slack. I know its because he had an abusive childhood, but that doesnt give you the right to fuck up your kids. Still, you know, I feel for him. Hell always be my Uncle Charlie.
Marc Asnin has been photographing his Uncle Charlie for eleven years. Charlie and his five children (Charles, Joe, Brian, Mary, and Jamie) lived together in Bushwick, Brooklyn. This is the story of his tattos, his guns, his unemployment, his illness, his poverty, and his drug problems.

Contrasto Francesca Woodman

The Roman Years Between Skin and Films
Isabella Pedicini
This volume analyzes, from a new and innovative point of view, the life and works of Francesca Woodman through the photographs and writings that belong to her Roman sojourn. A precocious artist, a border-line personality between the American culture and the Italian culture, Francesca Woodman reaches the acme of her artistic parable in Rome that, to her, is the place and the moment where her aesthetics and style are developed to the fullest. By tracing back the authors Roman itineraries and by gathering the stories told by her friends, this study reconstructs Woodmans most significant encounters that happened between the Maldoror bookshop in Via del Parione and the ateliers of the Nuova Scuola Romana at the ex Pastificio Cerere in San Lorenzo. Through the writings and accounts recorded over a long period of research, this book highlights the echoes and references to Surrealism that can be found in Francesca Woodmans photos; her use of the body as a proper language; and the topic of the metamorphosis as a sequel of life, where death is no longer seen as a final lap. In her pictures the observer discretely approaches the images and timidly takes part in the private and precious conversation that takes place inside each shot. This essay shows a new and intimate side of this great photographer, taking the reader by the hand through an intimate journey where words and images intertwine to trace the contours of Francesca Woodmans universe. Isabella Pedicini was born in Benevento, Italy, in 1983. A journalist and a writer, she moved to Rome where she graduated, first with a BA and then with an MA, in art history at La Sapienza University. She collaborates on a regular basis with the gallery book shop Il Museo del Louvre and she writes for Artribune, a magazine of contemporary art.

Lucia Perillo
Perillos poetic persona is funny, tough, bold, smart, and righteous. A spellbinding storyteller and a poet who makes the demands of the form seem as natural as a handshake, she pulls readers into the beat and whirl of her slyly devastating descriptions.Booklist Whoever told you poetry isnt for everyone hasnt read Lucia Perillo. She writes accessible, often funny poems that border on the profane.Time Out New York The poetry of Lucia Perillo is fierce, tragicomic, and contrarian, with subjects ranging from coyotes and Scotch broom to local elections and family history. Formally braided, Perillo gathers strands of the mythic and mundane, of media and daily life, as she faces the treachery of illness and draws readers into poems rich in image and story. When you spend many hours alone in a room you have more than the usual chances to disgust yourself this is the problem of the body, not that it is mortal but that it is mortifying. When we were young they taught us do not touch it, but who can keep from touching it, from scratching off the juicy scab? Today I bit a thick hangnail and thought of Schneebaum, who walked four days into the jungle and stayed for the kindness of the tribe who would have thought that cannibals would be so tender?

Copper Canyon Press When My Brother Was an Aztec

Natalie Diaz
I write hungry sentences, Natalie Diaz once explained in an interview, because they want more and more lyricism and imagery to satisfy them. This debut collection is a fast-paced tour of Mojave life and family narrative: A sister fights for or against a brother on meth, and everyone from Antigone, Houdini, Huitzilopochtli, and Jesus is invoked and invited to hash it out. These darkly humorous poems illuminate far corners of the heart, revealing teeth, tails, and more than a few dreams. I watched a lion eat a man like a piece of fruit, peel tendons from fascia like pith from rind, then lick the sweet meat from its hard core of bones. The man had earned this feast and his own deliciousness by ringing a stick against the lions cage, calling out Here, Kitty Kitty, Meow! With one swipe of a paw much like a catchers mitt with fangs, the lion pulled the man into the cage, rattling his skeleton against the metal bars. The lion didnt want to do it He didnt want to eat the man like a piece of fruit and he told the crowd this: I only wanted some goddamn sleep . . .

Copper Canyon Press After the Point of No Return

David Wagoner
Wagoners words are a living link to the world, enacting it so vitally that they feel like natural facts.The Seattle Times In his twenty-fourth book of poetry, David Wagoner reflects on youth, love, regret, and expectation versus reality. Here a master writes at top form, backdropped by lifes curious moments and imagining Jesus as an untidy roommate or considering our final destination in Beginners Guide to Death. After the Point of No Return After that moment when youve lost all reason for going back where you started, when going ahead is no longer a Yes or No, but a matter of fact, youll need to weigh, on the one hand, what will seem, on the other, almost nothing against something slightly more than nothing and must choose again and again, at points of fewer and fewer chances to guess, when and which way to turn. Thats when you might stop thinking about stars and storm clouds, the direction of wind, the difference between rain and snow, the time of day or the lay of the land, about which trees mean water, which birds know what you need to know before its too late, or whats right here under your feet, no longer able to tell you where it was you thought you had to go. David Wagoner is the author of two dozen books of poetry and ten novels. A longtime teacher at University of Washington, he was the editor at Poetry Northwest. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

Copper Canyon Press Selected Poems

Robert Bringhurst
Robert Bringhurst may well be the poet we have all been waiting for, one who can reclaim for poetry the dignity, wit, brilliance, and wisdom it has recently appeared to have mislaid. He is without doubt a major poet, not only in the context of Canadian letters, but in that of all writing of our time.Poetry Inspired by Eastern, pre-Socratic, and Native American art and ideas, Robert Bringhursts Selected Poems gathers work from fifteen volumes and embodies music, ecology, mythology, and philosophy. As he writes, When you think intensely and beautifully, something happens. Bringhursts passion for books and words extends to the design and typography of this gorgeous volume. Essay on Adam There are five possibilities. One: Adam fell. Two: he was pushed. Three: he jumped. Four: he only looked over the edge, and one look silenced him. Five: nothing worth mentioning happened to Adam. The first, that he fell, is too simple. The fourth, fear, we have tried. It is useless. The fifth, nothing happened, is dull. The choices are these: he jumped or was pushed. And the difference between them is only an issue of whether the demons work from the inside out or from the outside in: the one theological question. Robert Bringhurst is a poet, typographer, and linguist, well known for his award-winning translations of Haida storytellers. His manual The Elements of Typographic Style is one of the worlds most influential texts on typographic design. He lives on Quadra Island, British Columbia.
Robert Bringhurst is one of the worlds foremost mythologists and typographers, and without doubt a major poet (Poetry).

Whether tender or hard-hitting, McGriff juxtaposes natural images of deep forests, creeks, coyotes, and crows against the harsher oil-grease realities of bluecollar life, creating poems that read like folk tales about the people working in grain mills, forests, and factories. New Civilian The new law says you can abandon your child in an emergency room, no questions asked. The young father carries the sleeping boy through the hospital doors. Later, alone, parked at the boat basin, he takes a knife from his pocket, cuts an unfiltered cigarette in two, lights the longer half in his mouth. He was a medic in the war. In his basement are five bronze eagles that once adorned the walls of a dictators palace.

Cassells is a passionate poet whose poems touch the core of human connection through which can flow union with the infinite. Highly recommended. Library Journal Cyrus Cassells fifth book commemorates the blazing integrity of young people caught in the vise of World War II. In its journey through the anti-miracle of Europes embattled past, The Crossed-Out Swastika follows the lives of historical and semi-fictional characters to unearth and amplify moments of almost impossible music, bravery, beauty, and redemption, illuminating the human spirit against unspeakable tyranny. Poet, from cellar to cellar, I remember I held onto, of all things, a picture book about a magical goat, inscribed by my witty father: This storybook belongs to Mademoiselle Sabine the way Paris once belonged to Marie Antoinette Somehow having that book helped me to endure . . . Cyrus Cassells grew up in the Mojave Desert. He graduated from Stanford University and has worked as a translator, film critic, and actor; he currently teaches poetry in the MFA program at Texas State UniversitySan Marcos. He lives in Austin, Texas.

The project was conceived as a collaborative venture with Burke across time. Norfolks new work from Kabul and Helmand is presented alongside Burkes original portfolios. The echoing images that result from the partnership highlight points of continuity and change from either side of the twentieth-century in the warravaged country. Exhibited at Tate Modern, London, 2011.

Dialogue The Besieged

AStoryofSurvival
Caroline Walton
On June 22, 1941, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and German troops advanced towards Leningrad, Russias second city with a population of three million. On June 27 the people of Leningrad began constructing fortifications around the city and steeled themselves for a defensive struggle which was to continue until January 1944. So fervent was the peoples resistance that German forces, frustrated by their inability to take the stronghold, encircled the city in a nine hundred-day-long siege, beginning on September 8, 1941, during which around five hundred thousand troops and up to a million civilians died. Published to mark the seventieth anniversary of the beginning of the siege of Leningrad on September 8, 1941, The Besieged takes us inside the fortifications and into the homes and lives of those trapped in Leningrad. The history of the siege is recounted here by survivors who, in the summer of 1999, disclosed their memories of that time to writer Caroline Walton. Their stories describe humanity at its utter limitencompassing desperation, fear, grief, famine, murder, and even cannibalism. But these are also stories of courage, camaraderie, fortitude, music, passion, and pride, and of an elusive, not quite describable but ineffably human quality that allows hungry people to survive the worst that human experience can yield. Harrowing, yet uplifting, The Besieged is history in the broadest and best sense. Caroline Walton is the author of Ivan PetrovRussia through a Shot Glass, Little Tenement on the Volga, and The Voice of Leningrad, which won the New London Writers Award. She is a fluent Russian speaker.

Dialogue Let Them Eat Carbon

ThePriceofFailingClimateChangePolicies,andHow GovernmentsandBigBusinessProfitfromThem
Matthew Sinclair
Ordinary people are paying a ruinous price for the attempts politicians make to control greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change policies dramatically raise electricity bills, make it much more expensive to drive to work or fly on holiday, put manufacturing workers out of a job, and sometimes even make your food more expensive. Climate change is big business. Much of the money so-called green policies cost us goes straight into the pockets of a bewildering range of special interests. Around the world companies are making billions out of the schemes governments have put in place saying they will curb global warming and protect us from the threat of climate change. There is little evidence that those policies are an efficient way to cut emissions. They simply do not represent good value, and the public are right to be sceptical. In Let Them Eat Carbon Matthew Sinclair looks at the myths perpetuated by the burgeoning climate change industry, examines the individual policies and the potentially disastrous targets being put into place by ambitious politicians, and proposes a more realistic alternative.

The Meat Fix

HowaLifetimeofHealthyLivingNearlyKilledMe!
John Nicholson
The Meat Fix is the story of how eating meat again after twenty-six vegetarian years changed John Nicholsons life powerfully for the better, and his quest to understand why the supposedly healthy diet he had existed on was actually damaging him. He is not a scientist and this is not your standard diet book. Rather, it is an explanation of how Nicholson discovered what works for him and why we should all look at nutritional advice through a clear lens, not the warped prism of what has become conventional dietary advice. This is a surprising, often hilarious, and shocking journey of discovery.

ACautionaryTaleofaLifeWithoutReservations
Paul Carr
Bored, broke, and struggling to survive in one of the most expensive cities on earth, Paul Carr comes to the surprising realization that it would actually be cheaper to live in a luxury hotel in Manhattan than in his tiny one-bedroom London apartment. Inspired by that possibility, he sells his possessions, abandons his old life, and starts living entirely without commitments as a modern-day nomad. Thanks to Pauls ability to talk his way into increasingly ridiculous situations, what begins as a one-year experiment soon becomes a permanent lifestylea life lived in luxury hotels and mountain-top villas. A life of fast cars, Hollywood actresses, and Icelandic rock stars. Of 6,000-mile booty calls, of partying with eight hundred female hairdressers dressed only in bedsheets, and of nearly dying at the hands of Spanish drug dealers.

Yet, as word of Pauls exploits starts to spreadfirst online, then through a national newspaper column and eventually a book dealhe finds himself forced constantly to up the stakes in order to keep things interesting. With his behavior spiraling to dangerousand sometimes criminallevels, he is forced to ask the question: is there such a thing as too much freedom? Paul Carr is a writer, columnist, and professional failure. He lives permanently in hotels.

Guido Mina di Sospiro and Joscelyn Godwin
A multi-faceted mystery that incorporates the most serious and sensitive issue of our time: religious extremism. The evocative setting of Venice and the Veneto dominates the action, supplemented by vivid scenes in Santiago de Compostela, Provence, Washington, and the Vatican. Occult beliefs and practices fuel the action as the main characters become embroiled in an aristocratic sex magick plot.

Underlying the fast paced action, the reader will find a profound treatment of moral and political dilemmas, the conflict of religions, and the frightening possibilities of the occult. Guido Mina di Sospiro is an award-winning, internationally published novelist born in Argentina, raised in Italy, and educated in the United States. A graduate of the University of Southern California, he lives in the Washington, DC, area with his wife and their three sons.

This poetry is dangerous in the way that weve always suspected poetry might be: poetry as truth-teller, poetry as seductress. Theres enough narrative to keep anyone who loves stories hooked; experimental spaces for the innovative reader to co-create in; fierce honesty that does not give way to any trend; lyricism that can be set to music. Once youve entered the silken tent of Charlotte Pences poetry, you will want to stay inside the intelligence and beauty for a long time, to resist the ordinary.Marilyn Kallet Charlotte Pences poetry has received the Discovered Voices award, an individual artist commission from Tennessee.

Enigma Books My Fault

HowMussolinisJewishLoverHelpedCreateFascism ThenEscapedtoSaveHerOwnLife
Margherita Sarfatti
EditedbyBrianSullivan
Margherita Sarfatti first met Benito Mussolini in 1911 at the socialist daily Avanti! In what became a turbulent love affair she emerged as an important writer, art critic, and major adviser to the founder of the Fascist party. Even though she converted to Catholicism, she was cast aside once Hitler came to power and fled to South America in 1938. During her long exile where she constantly feared for her children who had remained in Italy and were in danger during the war, Sarfatti decided to tell the story of her relationship with Mussolini and the role she played in many important Fascist artistic, cultural, and ideological issues until 1934. Most of Italys modern architecture and many of its painters owe Sarfatti both their success and lasting legacy. At first she wrote her memoir in English under the title My Fault. But in 1945 a daily newspaper in Buenos Aires, Critica, published a Spanish version in fourteen installments. In the full text Sarfatti bares all about her stormy relationship with the intensely womanizing dictator whom she knew was quite incapable of any kind of monogamous relationship. Yet the attraction remained long irresistible and that passion jumps off these pages with unrelenting strength. Brian Sullivan is Americas foremost authority on Fascist Italy. After earning a PhD at Columbia he taught at Yale University and at the War College. With the late Phil Cannistraro he is the co-author of Il Duces Other Woman (William Morrow, 1993) a major biography of Margherita Sarfatti. He lives in Rockville, Maryland.
Benito Mussolinis Jewish mistress confesses: How she educated a rough uncultured man to become a politician and consolidate the fascist regime.

Enigma Books American Police A History: 19452012

TheBlueParade,Vol.II
Thomas Reppetto
Postwar America saw few changes to law enforcement in one hundred years. The little known San Francisco riot of August 1945 announced the violent events of the next half century. Most of the methods remained unchanged until the 1953 kidnapping of Bobby Greenlease in Kansas City, Missouri, that shook the country. The 1960s were dominated by civil rights struggles and major riots. Watts, Detroit, and Newark demonstrated how local police departments were unable to handle the disorders that engulfed those cities. The anti-war protest at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention is important to this narrative since the author was in charge of convention security. The police department was split on how to deal with the protestors: a major revelation of this book. The author also turned down an offer to become part of a unit later known as the plumbers made to him personally by Attorney General John Mitchell. The 1970s and 80s are the lowest points in modern American law enforcement until the emergence of zero tolerance by New York Commissioner William Bratton and Mayor Rudy Giuliani. 9/11 changes the landscape with the new focus on counter terror and new challenges to law enforcement. Thomas Reppetto began as a police officer, rising to Commander of Detectives in the Chicago Police Department. In 1970 he received a PhD in public administration from the Harvard School of Government. He taught at the John Jay College of the City University of New York and became dean of graduate studies, then vice president. He is retired and lives in the New York City area.
The only new history of the American police forces since 1945 touches on all the major issues of police history.

TheTurningPoint SecondEdition
Dennis D. Wainstock, PhD

The 1968 election saw the return of the Republican party to the White House and major changes in the political landscape. It was one of the most contentious and unpredictable contests in American history.

Vietnam was the main issue but also civil rights and George Wallace, who captured an astounding thirteen percent of the vote. The author interviewed some thirty-five politicians and players, most of them previously unpublished. Dennis D. Wainstock, PhD, is the author of Malcolm X: The Life and Times of an African-American Revolutionary, The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb, and Truman, MacArthur and the Korean War. He teaches history at Fairmont State University and lives in Salem, West Virginia.

Exterminating Angel Press A Galaxy of Immortal Women

TheYinSideofChineseCivilization
Brian Griffith
Howard Zinn meets Joseph Campbell and Gloria Steinem in a book written for the omnivorous readeranyone curious about China, world mythology, and womens history. Touching on the whole story of Chinafrom Neolithic villages to a globalized Shanghaithis book ties mythology, archaeology, history, religion, folklore, literature, and journalism into one great, evolving story of how Chinese womenand the goddess traditionfostered a counterculture that flourishes and grows stronger every day. As Brian Griffith charts the stories of Chinas founding mothers, shamanesses, goddesses, and ordinary heroines, he also explores the largely untold story of womens contributions to cultural life in the worlds biggest society. He presents their history as one of action, not, as it is so often, cheerleading for the powerful. These arent just stories, he says. These are expressions of what have been a peoples hopes, and a sign of what can be a future world. Impeccably researched, Griffiths enlightening, conversational history reveals the female-oriented world view that evolved within Daoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Chinese folk religion, and how that venerable counterculture is reshaping modern ideas about nature, power, equality, community, health, and spirituality. Brian Griffith grew up in Texas, studied history at the University of Alberta, and now lives just outside of Toronto, Ontario. He is an independent historian who views historical research as a means to understanding how cultural history influences our lives and can point toward contemporary solutions for the worlds biggest problems.
The goddess tradition remakes China and the world.

How many times have you heard (or said), Do these pants make me look fat? Fatshionista extraordinaire Lesley Kinzel gives advice, tells stories, and challenges stereotypes about being and feeling fat in this powerful debut book. With the war on obesity shining a spotlight on the prevalence of fatness, our culture has become acutely critical of big sizes and the women who wear them. But are all fat people unhealthy?

Lesley Kinzel says no to diet fads and pills, shows by example how to stop hating your body, and celebrates the possibilities of fat acceptance and smart fashion at any size. Lesley Kinzel, who co-founded and moderated the blog Fatshionista, is an online celebrity in the communities of size acceptance, fashion, and womens issues. She now has her own popular blog on body politics in the media, Two Whole Cakes, which gets seventy thousand hits per month.

The Feminist Press at CUNY Testo Junkie

Beatriz Preciado
TranslatedbyBruceBenderson
For one year Beatriz Preciado gave doses of testosterone to herself every day. She writes I dont take testosterone to transform myself into a man but to betray what society has wanted to make of me . . . to feel a form of pleasure that is post-pornographic, to add a molecular prostheses to my low-tech transgendered identity. On one level, this book is a diary of transgressionPreciados record of the use of herself as a lab rat. It recounts the defiant misuse of a pharmaceutical product normally monitored under the strictest conditions by medical professionals. On another level, Testo Junkie is a penetrating investigation into identity itself and how much of it is mediated, controlled, and, indeed, produced, by medical and pharmacologic pressures. Pulsing with ideas that come from Preciados unique perspectives on queer politics and theory, Testo Junkie develops into an analysis of the cultural signification of the human body in an era that she refers to as pharmaco-pornographic. Beatriz Preciado has become one of the leading thinkers in the study of gender and sexuality. A professor at the Universit de Paris VIII, she is also the author of Manifesto contra-sexual, a queer theory classic, and Pornotopa: Architecture and sexuality in Playboy during the Cold War, which has been named a finalist for the Anagrama Essay Prize. She received her PhD at Princeton and her masters in contemporary philosophy and gender theory at the New School for Social Research in New York.
A transgressive philosopher takes testosterone every day for one year and will never be the same.

The Feminist Press at CUNY Mother Finds a Body

Gypsy Rose Lee
ForewordbyErikLeePreminger
Pure ozone to those tired of ordinary oxygen.The New Yorker One of the greatest mysteries ever written.The Philadelphia Daily News Our most famous burlesque queen may raise the temperature with a strip tease, but she chills the blood when she goes into her detective routine. The Boston Post In this steamy sequel to The G-String Murders, Gypsy Rose Lees noir thriller reads as if its ripped from her own diary pages. When her mother finds a dead body in Gypsys trailer during her honeymoon, Gypsy realizes that no one is who they seem to be, and everyone is worthy of suspicion. Gypsy Rose Lee (19111970) was born Louise Hovick in Seattle, Washington, and became the most famous burlesque actor and striptease artist of her day, renowned as much for her witty repartee on stage as for removing her clothes. First performing with her sister on the vaudeville circuit and later in striptease routines, Rose soon landed star billing in a top New York burlesque theater, and following her wild success there, became a popular fixture in Broadway theaters. In 1937 she moved to Hollywood. She went on to appear in twelve films and have her own television show. Roses writing career included contributing regularly to The New Yorker, reporting on the New York social scene, and publishing two novels. She also wrote her memoir Gypsy (1957), which later became the inspiration for the hugely popular Broadway musical, Gypsy: A Musical Fable and the 1962 film version of the play.

The Feminist Press at CUNY Stranger on Lesbos

Valerie Taylor
AfterwordbyMarciaGallo
Frances, a 1950s housewife, becomes bored with her suburban life and enrolls in a class at the local community college. When she meets Bake, a butch lesbian, her life completely changes. In thrall to a forbidden world of martini lunches, late nights at queer bars, and a sexual passion she never knew was possible, Frances must chose between the safety of heterosexual marriage or the dangers of life on the edge of society. In this age of Mad Men fever, the re-issue of Stranger on Lesbos comes at the perfect moment, invoking an era we cant help but romanticize yet despise. Valerie Taylor is the pen name of Velma Young (19131997), author of the lesbian pulp classics Whisper Their Love (1957), The Girls in 3-B (1959), World Without Men (1963), Journey to Fulfillment (1964), and Ripening (1988). With the $500 proceeds of her first novel, Hired Girl (1953), Taylor bought a pair of shoes, two dresses, and hired a divorce lawyer. After leaving her husband, she kicked off a prolific career as the author of pulp fiction novels, poetry (under the name Nacella Young), and romances (under the name Francine Davenport). A longtime activist for gay and lesbian rights, she was a co-founder of Mattachine Midwest and the Lesbian Writers Conference in Chicago.
Sexy, beautiful, but frustrated . . . a neglected housewife finds the delights and degradations of forbidden love.

Edited by Patricia Clough and Jasbir Puar
When we think of something as viral, we often think of the transit of electronic information at an intensified speed and reach. Viral also refers to indiscriminate exchanges, often linked with notions of bodily contamination, uncontainability, and unwelcome transgression of border and boundaries. In this issue of WSQ, the editors invite a rethinking of institutions of education, family, religion, health, military, media, and law to inaugurate an inventive cultural criticism on topics ranging from social media, hacking, clouding, and financial markets to pollution, genetics, and robotics. Viral will also include interdisciplinary artists projects, each exploring the technological, political, and biological registers of viral culture. These include a meditation on the US militarys use of PowerPoint slides and an experiment involving the artists own hepatitis C-infected blood and plant life. An ongoing social media campaign is being created with input from media maven Johanna Blakley, managing director and director of research at the Norman Lear Center, University of Southern California, and will continue after the issue is published.

Fence Books Percussion Grenade: Poems & Plays

Joyelle McSweeney
Music and drama as weapons of productive destruction. This collection by prize-winning, massively influential literary star Joyelle McSweeney explodes the twinned and dangerous notions that images are pretty, and that they land predictably. Power struggles in all contexts and the driving ever-presence of a lexicon of puissance make this a bracing read, not for the faint of heart or mind. From Guadaloop: Just inside the cutters pavilion Just at the peak of the oxygen tent Just on the inner lid of the hairline coma Just on the inner thighs of the medical canal Just up under the gesso of lubrication Just up to the hairline of the hairline crack Just there where the adolescent girl eyes the camera Just under the burden of her fishscale hair Just where one sister shoulders the other Just why should one sister have to shoulder the other Just while out of the frame the globe unshouldered rolls around like a boulder in the mouth Just the whole world like a wadded-up burden in the mouth Joyelle McSweeney is the author of five books, including The Red Bird, chosen by Allen Grossman to inaugurate the Fence Modern Poets Series in 2001. McSweeney is a co-founder of Action Books and Action, Yes, a press and webquarterly for international writing and hybrid forms, and a contributing editor of the culture blog montevidayo.com. She holds degrees from Harvard, Oxford, and the Iowa Writers Workshop, and is an associate professor in the creative writing program at the University of Notre Dame.
Rat-a-tat prosody and scattershot, hallucinatory cultural critique, replete with grotesqueries, spit baroquely from the necropastoral ground of Joyelle McSweeneys third collection.

ConfessionsofaConflictedMedium
Mark Edward
ForewordbyJamesRandi
Mark Edward is an equivocator, fibber, and mountebank. Which begs the question: if a liar admits to lying, can he be telling the truth? He is a literate, informative intellectual, a student of the psychology of humans, a foe of those who would defraud the public for personal gain, and as an author and practicing psychic, he is first and foremost an entertainer. Joel Moskowitz, International Brotherhood of Magicians Mark Edward admits that for years he exploited believers who wished to connect with supernatural ideas and sad family members who missed dead loved ones. Now Edward is a magician who works the Haunted Castle in Hollywood and is also on the editorial board of Skeptic magazine, where he reveals the means of psychic scamsters. This entertaining book is at once a confessional and instructional regarding human belief and those who exploit it. Though Edward believes that most practitioners of the psychic business are out-and-out scam artists, he also counters the skeptic belief that the supernatural is a lie.

Feral House Future Primitive Revisited

EnlargedEdition
John Zerzan
IntroductionbyMichaelBecker
Zerzans writing is sharp, uncompromising, and tenacious.Derrick Jensen John Zerzans importance does not only consist in his brilliant intelligence, his absolute clearness of analysis and his unequalled dialectical synthesis that clarifies even the most complicated questions, but also in the humanity that fills his thoughts of resistance. Future Primitive Revisited is one more precious gift for us all.Enrico Manicardi, author of Liberi dalla Civilt (Free from Civilization) Anyone who travels with his eyes open understands the sense of much of what you have written, and the longer I live the greater my contempt for the opportunists who run governments and dictate our lives with technology. Paul Theroux Of course we should go primitive. This doesnt mean abandoning material needs, tools, or skills, but ending our obsession with such concerns. Declaring for community, our true origin: personal autonomy, trust, mutual support in pursuit of all the joys and troubles of life. Society was a trap massive, demanding, impersonal and debilitating from day one. So hurry back to the community, friends, and welcome all the consequences of such an orientation. The reasons for fear and despair will only multiply if we remain in this brutal and dangerous state of civilization.Blok 45 publishing, Belgrade As our society is stricken with repeated technological disasters, and the apocalyptic problems that go with them, the neo-primitivist essays of John Zerzan seem more relevant than ever. Future Primitive, the core innovative essay of Future Primitive Revisited, has been out of print for years. This new edition is updated with never-beforeprinted essays that speak to a youthful political movement and influential writers such as Derrick Jensen and Paul Theroux. An active participant in the contemporary anarchist resurgence, John Zerzan has been an invited speaker at both radical and conventional events on several continents. His weekly Anarchy Radio broadcast streams live on KWVA radio in Eugene, OR. Feral House has published three of Zerzans other books, including Against Civilization, Running on Emptiness, and Twilight of the Machines.

Feral House Pure Filth

Jamie Gillis and Peter Sotos
Jamie Gillis appeared in over one hundred films, and as such was a primary performer in pornographys Golden Age. Gillis is also known for inventing the Gonzo genre of pornography, played out in the film Boogie Nights by Burt Reynolds character. Pure Filth appears as transcripts from the films Jamie produced during these early years of radical and highly personal pornography. Completed just before his death in February 2010, Gillis contributed an introduction to each transcript to shed light on his ideas and plans, as well as anecdotal details and personal commentary. The book has more to do with an artists understanding of sex than the mere views of a flesh peddler. The careful language and brutal intelligence that Jamie brought to interviews are what separates the conversations from any other work that might have more academic or prurient pretensions. Extreme novelist Peter Sotos, perhaps better known and appreciated in France and the United Kingdom than his home country, was a good friend of Jamie Gillis, and Sotos unusual perspective makes this volume possible.

Fulcrum Publishing Let Them Paddle

ComingofAgeontheWater
Alan S. Kesselheim
When paddlers Alan S. Kesselheim and his wife were starting their family, each of their three kids unintentionally experienced, before birth, a major river expedition. Later, Eli, Sawyer, and Ruby grew up on other river trips, joining the Kesselheims in canoes as infants and toddlers and becoming adept paddlers and campers before the age of ten. Recognizing a unique opportunity to celebrate their childrens transitions to adulthood, the family returned to those birth rivers and repeated each of the three original paddling trips. Over a period of four years, as each child reached the age of thirteen, and across a span of geography from the Arctic Circle to Mexico, the family of five shared inspirational travel adventures on the water. A moving testimonial for allowing children to experience nature firsthand, Let Them Paddle is a captivating tale of a family coming of age. Alan S. Kesselheim has worked as a freelance writer for thirty years. He is the author of ten books and hundreds of magazine articles in a handful of publications, including Canoe & Kayak magazine. In addition to his writing work, Kesselheim has taught writing workshops throughout North America and teaches occasional classes at Montana State University. He is best known for his exploits as a wilderness adventurer and canoeist and is a veteran of many extended expeditions, including two year-long canoe journeys across Canada. Kesselheim has incorporated his three children into his wilderness adventure lifestyle and has every expectation that they will carry on the tradition. He lives in Bozeman, Montana, with his wife and children.
A beautiful collection of essays describing the different river adventures one family undertook for each childs coming of age celebration.

Fulcrum Publishing Rebuilding Justice

CivilCourtsinJeopardyandWhyYouShouldCare
Rebecca Love Kourlis and Dirk Olin

WiththeInstitutefortheAdvancementoftheAmericanLegalSystem ForewordbySandraDayOConor
We are blessed with many excellent judges and court staff . . . but they and all the rest of us have an obligation to work hard to improve the system so that it is both impartial and accountable.From the foreword by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day OConnor Over the past several decades, the civil justice process has become alarmingly expensive, politicized, and time-consuming. Though the court system lies at the heart of American democracy, it often does not meet the legitimate needs of the people, resulting in a rift between citizens and their own legal system. With a system that hasnt seen major reform since 1938, its inevitable that there are shortcomings and misunderstandings. The situation is precarious, but not hopeless. In Rebuilding Justice, Rebecca Love Kourlis and Dirk Olin illuminate why the courts are critical and how they are being eroded, defaced, and undermined. While covering complex issues such as civil justice reform, judicial selection and performance evaluation, and domestic relations, Kourlis and Olin propose practical solutions to improve the efficiency, accessibility, and integrity of Americas civil courts. An important portrait of the American judicial system, Rebuilding Justice is a call to action for citizens and civil servants alike to take the steps necessary to fix, support, and protect this crucial cornerstone of our democracy. Rebecca Love Kourlis is the founder and executive director of the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System, a former justice of the Colorado Supreme Court, a former District Court Judge, and a former trial judge. She holds undergraduate and law degrees from Stanford University. Dirk Olin is a legal affairs journalist who currently serves as editor and publisher of Corporate Responsibility Magazine. He holds a bachelors degree from Dartmouth College and a masters degree from Northwestern Journalism School.
This book is a civics lesson for the court system, a call to action, and a manning of the ramparts.

GLAS New Russian Writing What the Emperor Cannot Do

Tales and Legends of the Orient
Vlas Doroshevich
Translated by Rowen Glie and Ronald Landau with John Dewey
Styled as Oriental tales, these parables are unexpected, exciting, colorful, and tremendously readable. Vlas Doroshevich could not stand tyranny in any form and in his tales he availed himself of complete freedom to mock, to despise, and to accuse the authorities for their wickedness, hypocrisy, and stupidity. These tales could be written by and for rebellious anti-establishment youth of today. Doroshevichs works were often banned during the tsarist times and then finally banned completely under the Bolsheviks. This great Russian writer, who was a friend of Anton Chekhov, is only now being resurrected from oblivion. This is the first English translation of his tales. Vlas Doroshevich (18641922) was widely known as the king of journalism in his time. He was also a novelist, drama critic, and short story writer.

Revised to reflect the latest research about how children learn, the new edition of this classic bestseller offers explanations on how and why these activities help the brain develop.

Gryphon House Many Languages, Building Connections

SupportingInfantsandToddlersWhoAre DualLanguageLearners
Karen N. Nemeth
All infants and toddlers need experiences that nurture, support, and teach their home language and culture. Language is a vital component of early experiences well before the child can say his first word. Infants and toddlers whose families come from diverse backgrounds and speak different languages are appearing in all kinds of early care and learning settings in growing numbers. Even the most experienced caregiver can feel a bit unsure about meeting the unique needs of infants and toddlers from different language backgrounds. Many Languages, Building Connections outlines adaptable strategies that caregivers of children younger than the age of three need to feel confident that they know how language develops, how cultural differences can come into play, and how to assess an individual childs situation to provide appropriate support. From welcoming diverse families and engaging them to participate in a child care program to creating nurturing communities that value and support each childs home language while also fostering English acquisition, the helpful strategies included in Many Languages, Building Connections will prepare caregivers for the diverse reality they encounter in their work. Karen N. Nemeth has been a teacher and a teacher educator for more than twenty-five years. She is a sought-after speaker on topics related to first- and second-language development. This is her second book.

The twenty-five year old Christopher Columbus, shipwrecked off the Portuguese coast, makes his way to Lisbon and is reunited with his younger brother Bartolomew, a gifted cartographer. The Genoese brothers spend the next eight years drumming up support for Christophers great venture, the westward voyage in search of a quicker route to the Spice Islands and India. Unaware that the North American continent lies in their way, they call it the Indies Enterprise. rik Orsennas fascinating novel is the tale not of a voyage of exploration, but of the years preceding it and the many discoveries of a period of enlightened awakening and scientific curiosity.

Despite its scientific spirit, the period witnessed the Inquisition and the savage persecution of Jews. The contradiction slowly dawns on Bartolomew through the Indios whose land has been taken, and who are now enslaved to the Europeans. Was the worm of mans inhumanity to man present in the fruit of their great enterprise all along?

Haus Publishing 1919

ATurningPointinWorldHistory
Alan Sharp and TG Fraser
1919 was a pivotal year. While the Paris Peace Conference dominated the headlines, events elsewhere in the world would have a major impact on the twentieth century and beyond. In Ireland, Egypt, India, China, and the Middle East, Britain, France, and Japan faced gathering resistance to their rule. Nationalist leaders like Gandhi, Saad Zaghlul, and Ho Chi Minh rose to prominence, while the leaders of the Irish rebellion against Britain enjoyed more immediate success. In 1919 the world was poised between triumphant imperialism and emerging nationalism. 1919 also witnessed fear of communism on a global scale, fuelled by Bolshevik success in Russia, a short-lived revolutionary government in Munich, and Bela Kuns seizure of power in Hungary. In Italy and Germany, Fascism and National Socialism emerged as alternatives to both Communism and the bourgeois status quo, while in the United States Attorney General Mitchell Palmers attempts to quell radicalism and enforce Prohibition launched the career of J. Edgar Hoover. By looking beyond Europe and the first six months of 1919, including the Third Afghan War, this book gives a global perspective of the events and upheavals explored in Margaret Macmillans seminal history of the peace conferences of that year, Paris 1919. Alan Sharp and TG Fraser bring together their renowned knowledge of what happened when four empires collapsed simultaneously; a historical constellation unique to the aftermath of World War I.

The people of Kosovoboth the cleansed Albanians and the demagogically exploited Serbsnow know who their political and humanitarian friends were. One of the most outstanding European and parliamentary advocates has been Dr. Denis MacShane. This will surprise none who know of his record on human rights. The book will stand as a monument to a harsh time and to the fortitude that overcame it.Christopher Hitchens This polemical appeal by Denis MacShane calls for policy makers to re-engage with the Western Balkans before it is too late. MacShane has written a vivid and forceful account, showing that the Western Balkans are a symbol of Europes weakness to transform one of its key regions and the choice we face is now stark: either the Balkans become European or Europe becomes Balkanized.

Haus Publishing Shakespeare in Kabul

Stephen Landrigan and Qais Akbar Omar
In 2005, a group of actors in Kabul performed Shakespeares Loves Labours Lost to the cheers of Afghan audiences and rave reviews from foreign journalists. For the first time in years, men and women had appeared on stage together. The future held no limits, the actors believed. In this fast-moving, fondly told, and frequently very funny account, Qais Akbar Omar and Stephen Landrigan capture the triumphs and foibles of the actors as they extend their Afghan passion for poetry to Shakespeares. Both authors were part of the production. Qais, a journalist, served as assistant director and interpreter for Parisian actress, Corinne Jaber, who had come to Afghanistan on holiday and returned to direct the play. Stephen, himself a playwright, assembled a team of Afghan translators to fashion a script in Dari as poetic as Shakespeares. This chronicle of optimism plays out against the heartbreak of knowing that things in Afghanistan have not turned out the way the actors expected. Yet. Stephen Landrigan is a former journalist who has reported for The Washington Post and BBC Radio, among others. He went to Afghanistan in 2004 and now lives in Massachusetts where he works with the School of Leadership, Afghanistan (SOLA) that prepares young Afghan women to study at major American universities. During the Taliban era Qais Akbar Omar ran a carpet factory in his home, providing illegal employment for forty young women. He is the author of A Fort of Nine Towers.
The uplifting story of bringing Shakespeare to Afghanistan, with men and women appearing together on stage for the first time since liberation.

Haus Publishing Dickenss London

Peter Clark
No writer can lay claim to making a city the principal character of their novels as Charles Dickens did with London. A near photographic memory made his contact with London indelible from a young age. Though these early hardships required the filter of literature to numb the humiliation he felt about his humble origins. From his Camden Town landlady Elizabeth Roylance finding her way into literary characterization as Mrs. Pipchin in Dombey and Son to the way in which his working day as a young clerk at Grays Inn informed Bleak House and the appropriation of his colleague Bob Fagins name to his notorious villain in Oliver Twist, the people and places of Dickenss London are a constant and pervading presence through his novels. From the coaching inns to the lower reaches of the Thames, London was the inexhaustible character he was drawn back to again and again. Published amid the two-hundredth anniversary celebrations of Charles Dickens birth in 1811 and in the wake of the major Dickens at 200 exhibition at the The Morgan Library and Museum, New York, Dickenss London is a remarkable study of how a city can inform and ignite the imagination. Five walks with maps through Dickensian London make this the perfect accompaniment for a trip to the British capitol. Peter Clark has written books on Henry Hallam, Marmaduke Pickthall, and Wilfred Thesiger. He is a translator from the Arabic and a founder trustee of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction.
Published on the two hundredth anniversary of Charles Dickens birth, this is a celebration of the London he created in his fictional works.

Haymarket Books My People Are Rising

MemoirofaBlackPantherPartyCaptain
Aaron Dixon
This book is a moving memoir experience: a must read. The dramatic life cycle rise of a youthful sixties political revolutionary, my friend Aaron Dixon.Bobby Seale, founding chairman and national organizer of the Black Panther Party, 1966 to 1974 My People Are Rising: A Memoir of a Black Panther Party Captain is the most authentic book ever written by a member of the Black Panther Party. Aaron Dixon does a superb job of presenting life in the party from the perspective of a foot soldiera warrior for the cause of revolutionary change and black power in America. He pulls no punches and holds nothing back in writing honestly about those times (late 1960s and during the 1970s) as he successfully presents a visual picture of the courage, commitment, and sometimes shocking brutality of life as a Panther activist. This is an unforgettable must read book! Larry Gossett, chair, Metropolitan King County Council In an era of stark racial injustice and decisive action, Aaron Dixon dedicated his life to the struggle for change, founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 at age nineteen. Through his eyes, we see the courage of a generation that stood up to injustice, their political triumphs and tragedies, and the unforgettable legacy of Black Power. Aaron Dixon was co-founder and captain of the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party. He has since founded various non-profits for Seattle youth and run as a Green Party candidate in the 2006 Senate race. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
A compelling look at the inspiring Black Panther generation, through the eyes of a founding member in Seattle.

C.L.R. James

Admirers of C.L.R. James have long known that he developed a theory of the Soviet Union as a state capitalist society. But his most important writings on the topic have long been unobtainable. This volume aims to change that. C.L.R. James (19011989) was a novelist, activist, and political theorist who worked with Leon Trotsky, Richard Wright, and Kwame Nkrumah. He wrote The Black Jacobins, helped create a network of pan-African organizers, and served as a delegate to the founding congress of the Fourth International.

Lenin19171923(Vol.3)
Tony Cliff
When Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik party led the first successful workers revolution in history, they were under no illusions that their work was finished with the overthrow of capitalism in Russia. As the fledgling workers state was gripped by a civil war, the revolutions leaders remained steadfast in their commitment to spreading their successes across all of Europe. Tony Cliff (19172000) spent his life developing revolutionary Marxism against Stalinism. From his early days as a revolutionary in British-occupied Palestine to the high points of struggle in post-war Britain, Cliff worked to restore lost ideas and traditions and fan the flames of resistance.

Alex Katz is one of the foremost representatives of American painting in the international art world. In New York in the 1950s, his large-format, stencillike portraits and landscapes set a striking counterpoint to abstract expressionism. Katz developed a signature pictorial language early on, characterized by outlined forms, clear colors, and flatness influenced by the imagery of the cinema, advertising, and fashion. The catalog presents for the first time an overview of Katz nude paintings from three decades and recent work and is released to coincide with the eighty-fifth birthday of the artist.

Edited by James Meek and Robert Claus Text by James Meek
These images, reminiscent of the vision of Andrei Tarkovsky, are distilling six years of travel across the former Soviet Union. The book is divided into a quiet series of black and white photographs, which won the Leica Oskar Barnack Award in 2003, and color images that crystallize the intensity of Moscow in winter.

Tewodros Fekadu
An affirmation of life and the indestructibility of one mans will to make the most of it.Ian Wynne, author of The Pawn and Shadows by My Side, former editor of Human Rights Defender, Amnesty International Born in the midst of the EthiopianEritrean Civil War, Tewodros Teddy Fekadu survives abandonment and famine as his family flings him unwanted across borders and regions, into orphanages, and finally onto the streets of Addis Ababa. Spanning five countries and three continents, the Catholic Church, and Japanese detention centers, this is a tale of defiance and triumph, and also of family loveunacknowledged by his wealthy father, abandoned by his desperately poor mother, Teddy is nurtured along the way by staunch individuals despite his ambiguous place in rigid family tradition: his fathers mother, a maternal aunt, a Catholic priest, and even his fathers wife. In 2003, after three years in a Japanese detention center, Tewodros Teddy Fekadu won a hard-fought immigration battle, and his visa to Australia was approved. He now resides on the Gold Coast, where he founded an association that shares African traditions and heritage through performance and educational programs. He also works with organizations to resettle African refugees to the Gold Coast. He is an inspirational speaker, presenting to such diverse audiences as adoptive families, human rights groups, and East African immigrants. Tewodros company, Moonface Entertainment, produces films and documentaries on East Africa. He regularly returns to Africa to shoot footage for his projects, and travels to the United States to promote his work.
An abandoned Ethiopian boy fights for more than mere survival: acceptance, education, and a life beyond poverty and war.

Leapfrog Press Youre Married to Her?

Ira Wood
As the anti-Vietnam War movement drew to a close, a twenty-six-year-old unknown playwright began an affair with a glamorous older woman, a feminist activist and acclaimed poet/novelist at the height of her career. What she saw in a neurotic, sexually nave, poorly educated but very sweet guy was apparent to no one, especially him. Using a wildly self-skewering but oddly sympathetic narrative voice that fulfills The New York Times assessment of his special gift for heartwarming comedy, Ira Wood re-imagines his early years with Marge Piercy in a series of chronologically linked essays, never failing to raise the question that few have failed to ask: Youre married to Her? With the brazen candor of Toby Youngs How to Lose Friends and Alienate People and the wicked lunacy of David Sedaris, Wood tells tales of his first true love, who he told his parents were dead; his disastrous affair with a promiscuous single mother, while he was involved with Piercy; his childhood dependence on speed; and running for public office on a larkand winningonly to find himself responsible for the government of a small town. Thirty years later hes still married to Her, confident enough to share, and laugh at, what men do when their behavior slips to the level of their self-esteem.

Long River Press Selections From the Book of Songs

Yuanzhong Xu
In seventh moon Fire Star west goes; In ninth we make dresses all day long. By and by warm spring grows And golden orioles sing their song. The lasses take their baskets deep And go along the small pathways To gather tender mulberry leaves in heap When lengthen the vernal days, They pile in heaps the southernwood, Their heart in gloomy mood, For they will say adieu to maidenhood. The Book of Songs, also known as the Confucian Odes, is one of the main pillars of the Chinese classical literary canon. This accessible version of the Book of Songs is designed for general readers and contains historical notes and anecdotes. The Book of Songs is divided into four parts: the Book of Lyrics (Guofeng), the Book of Odes (Xiaoya), the Book of Epics (Daya), and the Book of Hymns (Song). The songs contained herein were collected from the fifteen city-states of the Zhou dynasty (1046256 BC) and were created not only by the noble classes, but also by working peoplefarmers, soldiers, and minor government officials; men as well as women. What emerges from this collection is a dynamic and intimate window on traditional life in ancient China.
A new, general interest version of one of the greatest works of Chinese classical prose.

ANovelofWartimeChina
Ba Jin
TranslatedbyHailiKongandHowardGoldblatt
A triumph of humanism in war-ravaged China of the 1940s, this work of autobiographical fiction not only shows Ba Jin at his best, but also demonstrates why he is rightly viewed as the conscience of China.Michelle Yeh, department of East Asian languages, University of California, Davis A major work by a towering figure in twentieth century Chinese literature, Ward Four intimately reveals the frailties and strengths of the human spirit and the will to survive. Set in a hospital in rural China during World War II, it provides a haunting window into the isolation and displacement faced by ordinary citizens. Ba Jins hospital ward is a dark corner where life and death intersect and the absurd is transformed into the comic. Amid the uncertainties of war are the foundations of strength and the will to survive during one of the darkest periods of Chinese history. Ba Jin (19042005) is widely considered one of Chinas greatest literary figures. Haili Kong is professor of Chinese literature at Swarthmore College. Howard Goldblatt is professor of Chinese literature at Notre Dame University.

MCCM Creations
Hong Kong, China
From MCCM Creations entry into the world of book publishing in 2001, its aspirations have remained consistentto bring readers original and inspiring books from authors and designers who share a passion for books as objects, as well as a strong desire to explore hybrid concepts. Many of our collaborators are local Hong Kong Chinese citizens or long-time foreign residents who have strong connections with Hong Kong and Asia. MCCM titles are concerned with the visualization of experiences, stories, and perceptions through the printed word, images, and sound. In todays world people move freely across boundaries and inhabit areas of virtual space that intertwine to create new concepts and ways of living. These crossdisciplinary realities are at the core of MCCMfusing illustration, visual art, design, architecture, photography, sociocultural criticism, and literature. As a result, our published titles do not fit neatly into any single book category, but reflect the growing presence of a reader profile that is both sophisticated and progressive. Our titles fall into two broad categories: visual culture books related to architecture, art, and design in Hong Kong and neighboring regions of East Asia, and illustrated fiction and picture books for children and young adults to nurture intellectual and aesthetic development beyond traditional school syllabi. As part of this educational goal, most of our titles are published in English or in bilingual (ChineseEnglish) editions.

A critical examination of the evolving changes in Chinese treaty ports over the past 150 years, this study illustrates, through essays and over 230 sketches, the imprints on modernizing cities of older urban spaces which have left physical traces through city plans, streets, and buildings. Noted architect and urban planner Peter Cookson Smith was one of the first specialists involved in planning, urban design, and landscape consultancies in Southeast Asia. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Centre of Asian Studies, the University of Hong Kong, and is vice president of the Hong Kong Institute of Planners and the Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design.

The Urban Design of Impermanence

Streets, Places and Spaces in Hong Kong
Peter Cookson Smith

A companion to The Urban Design of Concession, this volume collects sketches and essays that reflect the evolving character and personality of Hong Kong. Impermanence underlies the urban design language of Hong Kong. Arguably this is a reflection of the embedded philosophy of change inherent in Chinese culture, which tends to impart rather transient values that promote a strong link between the spiritual and the human condition. The idea of using sketches to illustrate the array of street attributes and their collective impact on urban design emerged through a perceived need to add some visual life to a research project on urban regeneration.

Monkfish Book Publishing God of Love

AGuidetotheHeartofJudaism,ChristianityandIslam
Mirabai Starr
Though greatly influenced by modern teachers of Eastern spirituality such as Ram Dass, Mirabai Starr has spent her life responding to the call to honor the diversity and celebrate the unity between all paths that lead us home to love. Best known for her translations of the Spanish mystics, in God of Love Starr explores the spiritual roots of Western religion. She provides not only an excellent introduction to the basic beliefs, scriptures, and practices of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, but also a new emerging context called InterSpiritual with which to understand our religiously pluralistic world. Unlike its precursor movement, interfaith, which is largely focused on cooperation between religious institutions, an interspiritual approach is one that tends to the personal and spiritual dimensions of religion. An interspiritual approach sees and participates in the common roots found in all religious expression. Author of critically acclaimed new translations of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, Mirabai Starr uses fresh, lyrical language to help make timeless wisdom accessible to a contemporary circle of seekers. As a teenager, Starr lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community that has honored all the worlds faith traditions since its inception in 1967. Starr has been an adjunct professor of philosophy and world religions at the University of New MexicoTaos since 1993. Her emphasis is on making connections between the perennial teachings found at the heart of all the worlds spiritual paths. Starr speaks and teaches nationally and internationally.
Champions the underlying unity of peace and justice teachings in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

WhyandHowtoEatLessMeat
Eleanor Boyle
Each year the average North American ingests well over two hundred pounds of animal protein. Meanwhile the global appetite for meat has increased dramati cally. But feeding our meat addiction comes at tremendous cost. Maintaining our current level of consumption is ecologically impossible in the long term and undermines our personal health and community wellbeing. High Steaks documents the disastrous consequences of modern largescale industrial meat production and excessive consumption, including: The loss of vast tracts of arable land and fresh water to intensive live stock production Increased pollution, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and accelerat ing climate change The environmental and health impacts of too much animal fat, and of antibiotics and other chemicals in our food Timely and compelling, this powerful book offers a modest, commonsense approach to a serious problem, suggesting strategies for all of us to cut back on our consumption of animal products and ensure that the meat we do con sume is produced in a sustainable, ecologically responsible manner. At the same time, High Steaks describes progressive food policy shifts that will discour age factory farming and encourage people to eat in ways that support eco systems and personal health. Eleanor Boyle has been teaching and writing for twentyfive years, with a focus on food systems and their social, environmental, and health conse quences. As well as working with organizations aiming for better food pol icy, she holds an MSc in food policy and is an instructor at the Centre for Sustainability at the University of British Columbia.

New Society Publishers The Interfaith Alternative

EmbracingSpiritualDiversity
Steven Greenebaum
Whatever your spiritual path, chances are that the primary tenets of your faith include universal love, acceptance, and compassion. Yet three thousand years after Moses, twentyfive hundred years after the Buddha, two thousand years after Jesus, and fifteen hundred years after Muhammad, we are still divided by our differences. Religious intolerance, discrimination, even persecution and violence make up the notsogolden rule. The Interfaith Alternative shows us how we can celebrate each other without fear of losing our own identity. It illuminates the path to creating a nurturing spiritual community that honors and includes all religious languagesan al ternative to Jews worshiping only with Jews, Christians with Christians, and Muslims with Muslims. In doing so, it demonstrates that through coming together in a mutually supportive environment we can concentrate on our shared desire to remake the world into a compassionate, loving place. At its core, Interfaith is about community and justice. Once we truly em brace diversity, we embrace our common humanity. A powerful antidote to the current climate of fear and mistrust, The Interfaith Alternative argues that it is not how we encounter the sacred, but what we do about it that countsthere are positive alternatives to religious lines in the sand. Steven Greenebaum is an Interfaith minister whose experiences directing choirs of different faiths and denominations have helped him to understand the profound wisdom of many spiritual traditions. Steven has dedicated his life to working for social and environmental justice. He is the founder of the Living Interfaith Church in Lynnwood, Washington.
There is no themthere is only us, celebrating our common humanity.

America stands at a precipice; limitless consumption, reckless economics, and disregard for the environment have put the country on a collision course with disaster. Its up to a younger generation to rebuild according to new forms of organization, and Share or Die is a collection of messages from the front lines. From urban Detroit to central Amsterdam, and from worker cooperatives to nomadic communities, an astonishing variety of recent graduates and twentysomething experimenters are finding (and sharing) their own an swers to negotiating the new economic order. Their visions of a shared fu ture include: Collaborative consumption networks instead of private ownership Replacing the corporate ladder with a lattice lifestyle Doityourself higher education As a calltoaction, share or die doesnt only refer to resource depletion, disappearing jobs, or stagnating wages. It refers to social death too, and to find ing the common sense ideas and practices needed to not only merely survive, but to build a place where its worth living. A series of forays into uncharted territory, this graphically rich collection of essays, narratives, and howtos is an intimate guide to the new economic order and a mustread for anyone at tempting to understand what it means to live as part of Generation Y. Malcolm Harris is the Life/Art channel editor and a writer at Shareable and managing editor at The New Inquiry, a criticism site devoted to collecting and promoting the work of young, unaffiliated writers.

These postcards from beyond the leading edge of todays green thinking are bold, audacious, extravagantly hopeful, and profoundly inspiringthe perfect antidote to the despair brought on by too many doom and gloom scenar ios. Nothing less than a complete reinvention of contemporary environmen talism, Mobilizing the Green Imagination belongs in the back pocket of anyone who dares to dream of a brighter future and a better world. Anthony Weston is professor of philosophy and environmental studies at Elon University in North Carolina, where he teaches ethics, environmental studies, and Millennial Imagination.

Nobrow Press
London, England
Nobrow Press was set up in November 2008 to provide a vibrant and innovative publishing platform for comics, illustration, and the graphic arts. We champion the very best talent in the field and nurture artist-led content like no other publisher in the market. Our library is representative of a wide variety of subject matter and narrative content using only the best illustrators, cartoonists, and artists from around the globe. We see books as things to be enjoyed, not only for their didactic or recreational content, but as beautiful objects: to be cherished, coveted, and collected. This has led to a very distinctive house style that combines a deep knowledge of traditional printmaking with the industrial processes widely used today. We have perfected a spot color printing technique that is unique to a handful of publishers worldwide: a process that uses hand mixed Pantones, as opposed to the more conventional CMYK printing method. This gives the books a unique artisanal quality that harkens to a time when printing was in its very prime. Our books are as beautiful in the flesh as the stories they tell and this, together with the collaboration of an ever-expanding community of internationally renowned artists, makes us one of the leading proponents of the book as object, artwork, and collectors item. In keeping with our commitment to an environmentally responsible future in print we also aim to manufacture our books with high ethical production standards, going the extra distance to use sustainable paper and inks.
Nobrow Press Nobrow 6: The Double

Edited by Alex Spiro and Sam Arthur
Reports of prints demise have been greatly exaggerated, as proven by Nobrows alluring, jewel-like publications, truly special books to treasure and caress.Paul Gravett, author of Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life This will be an entirely new incarnation of our biannual journal as we double the number of pages to include comics and graphic short stories. At 120 pages it not only presents the very best of illustration talent out there, but also devotes half of its pages to the world of comics, where we showcase talent from the established as well as the new, all the while keeping true to our Nobrow spot color aesthetic. The theme of this issue The Double explores the sinister concept of the doppelganger, one that has appeared in literature and mythology since our earliest written records. From Greek and Norse mythology to Percy Bysshe Shelley, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, John Donne, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the idea has held the human imagination, fascinating and terrifying us in equal measure. Now we turn it over to sixty illustrators and graphic storytellers to interpret as they wish, each taking on one double page spread. Includes illustrations from: Andrea Kalfas, Katja Spitzer, Gwenola Carrere, Viviane Swartz, Golden Cosmos, Chuck Groenink, and many more. Includes comics from: Kevin Huizenga, John Martz, Gemma Correll, Matthew Forsythe, Michael DeForge, Roman Muradov, Scott MacDonald, Malachi Ward, Luc Melanson, Ana Albero, and many others. With a cover by award-winning cartoonist and illustrator Tom Gauld. Alex Spiro and Sam Arthur are creative directors of Nobrow Press, based in London, England.
The new format for our critically acclaimed magazine combines comics and illustration in a collectible 120-page volume.

Edited by Alex Spiro
Introduction by Paul Gravett
A Graphic Cosmogony is the first anthology from publishers Nobrow Press. This is a Nobrow equivalent of McSweeneys albeit with a very deliberate theme. The twenty-four artists in A Graphic Cosmogony tackle creation in a fitting seven pages eacheach one becoming that shamanic presence, creating their own wild, imaginative versions to answer that perennial question: how did we get here? . . . A damn fine read!Forbidden Planet International The Biblical creation myth proposes that God created the world in seven days, or six plus one day off to chill out, so in that spirit the two-dozen cartoonist-shamans corralled into this compendium were given just seven pages to devise their own version of how we all got here. . . . Entire world faiths have been built on equally unlikely accounts. Perhaps if enough readers of this volume start believing in certain stories, they might cause a spate of new religions to spring up based upon them. Pull up a rock and gather round the flickering firethe universe is about to be born again.From the introduction by freelance journalist, curator, and lecturer Paul Gravett, co-author of Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life (Laurence King Publishing, 2005) Features contributions from artists such as Stuart Kolakovic, Ben Newman, Mike Bertino, Brecht Vandenbroucke, and Luke Pearson.

Nobrow Press Quodlibet

Katja Spitzer and Sebastian Gievert
Inspired by the late, great Georges Perec, who is famous for writing a book whose sole subject was the letter E, illustrator Katja Spitzer and freelance writer Sebastian Gievert teamed up to tackle the letter Q. Katja explains that in the German language, as in English, Q is a rather peculiar letter. One of the rarest in the German language, Q is only given a fleeting position in the Brockhaus Lexicon (an equivalent to our Encyclopaedia Britannica), a mere forty-five pages of Q words, falling somewhere in the middle of a volume entitled PESRAC, in spite of granting an individual volume to every other letter in the alphabet. Feeling that the letter was given undue negligence, Katja took it upon herself to create the missing Q volume of the lexicon and thus Quodlibet was born. Translated from the German, this edition contains several new Q letter entries to replace those from the original text that didnt have direct English language equivalents. Quodlibet covers everything from famous Grindhouse movie directors, to obscure eighteenth century dances, to natures marvels and ancient Chinese mythological beasts, each illustrated with mastery in four unique spot colors.

Richard Short
One part Peanuts, one part Jim Woodrings Frank, Klaus transplants the myogenic spirit of the classic strip comic into a new, slightly stranger yet similarly robust body. Like a Hunt 102-weilding Victor Frankenstein, Short isnt afraid to experiment, and readers may soon find themselves absorbed in the witty, contemplative, and warped world of cat-people, humanoid rodents, and metaphysical ruminations.Martin Steenton Visually informed by Richard Shorts love of classic comic strips, Charles Schulz Peanuts, and Tove Janssons Moomins, Klaus explores the un-adventures of the eponymous character, a pensive anthropomorphic cat; the inappropriately specie-d romantic interests of a vexatious supporting cast of anthropomorphic rats; and Klaus libertarian doppelganger Otto. This sixty-page collection includes the best of Shorts short self-published comics together with all-new never seen before material. Richard Short, originally a wills lawyer based in the northeast of England, recently made the unlikely but successful transition to cartoonist and illustrator. He lives in London, United Kingdom.

Nobrow Press Everything We Miss

Luke Pearson
Everything We Miss is Luke Pearsons breakthrough graphic novella, in which he brilliantly wrong-foots your every expectation, fluttering between surreal humor and deep pathos and proving the unique visual-verbal alchemy of comics to capture the ephemeral and symbolize the rawest emotions. Paul Gravett, editor of 1001 Comics To Read Before You Die On the dawn horizon, a pine tree all too briefly uproots itself. It dances . . . and nobody sees. The low drone of the cars engine is heard and ignored from sleepy bedroom windows for miles around. Have you ever wondered what goes on in your life when youre looking the other way? Perhaps youre so drawn into whats going on with you that you fail to notice the events taking place in your peripheryor even right under your nose? In Everything We Miss, Luke Pearson explores the dying days of a failing relationship through the infinitesimal unseen moments that surround itand us. Pearsons most ambitious project to date is a poignant and empathetic graphic novella from one of the most exciting young creators in British comics. As well as an essential showcase of Pearsons astonishing visual storytelling ability, this is a book for anyone whos ever experienced loss, or agonized about what they have yet to find. Luke Pearson, a comic book artist, author, and illustrator, lives in Tamworth, United Kingdom.

Ocean Press Remembering Che

My Life with Che Guevara
Aleida March
For the first time, Aleida March evokes the memories of her partner, Ernesto Che Guevara. She describes their great romance and life together from the days when they first met as fellow guerrillas in Cubas revolutionary war up to the tragic moment when she learned of Ches assassination in Bolivia less than a decade later. As Ches widow, Aleida writes with passion and poignancy of their shared political dreams for the future and their family. Never before have readers been offered such an intimate insight into the man behind one of the great political symbols of our time. Includes one hundred intimate photographs taken from the private family albums of Che with his children and his wife, including the last photographs of Che and Aleida together when Che had disguised himself in preparation for his secret mission to Bolivia. Also includes facsimiles of postcards and letters Che sent to his family from abroad, as well as poems written to Aleida and a moving short story sent from Africa. This book reveals Aleidas own great strength and courage as she came to terms with her private loss while under the international spotlight of millions of others who also mourned the death of a world-famous revolutionary, perhaps comparable to Yoko Ono after the death of John Lennon. She also describes her efforts to raise her four children as ordinary children despite their fathers legendary status in Cuba and abroad. Aleida March is currently the director of the Che Guevara Studies Center, Cuba.
Che Guevaras widow reveals the story of a great revolutionary romance, tragically cut short by Ches assassination in Bolivia.

The publication of this title by Ocean Sur in Spanish in July 2011 provoked considerable international attention (including CNN). This never-beforepublished diary (comprising a dozen small notebooks) Ernesto Che Guevara kept during the guerrilla war in Cuba when he joined the struggle to overthrow the Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 revolution has now been meticulously transcribed by his widow, Aleida March. Why did it take over fifty years for this diary to be published? Maybe because of some caustic comments Che makes in his usual brutally frank style. Maybe it was felt appropriate to wait until Fidel Castro had produced his own memoirs (now published by Ocean Press as The Strategic Victory). In launching the book in Havana in July 2011, editor Mara del Carmen Ariet marked that it was never clear whether or not Che wanted these diaries published as he had reworked several pieces into his famous Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, on which Steven Soderbergh based part one of his epic movie Che, starring Benicio Del Toro. Nevertheless, all Ches diariesfrom his early Motorcycle Diaries and its sequel, Latin America Diaries, through to his last diary from Boliviaare extraordinary examples of his literary gift and his political incisiveness, in terms of his personal reflections, his criticisms and self-criticism, and his observations about others and events. Other features of this new book are fifty-eight unpublished photographs from Ches personal archive and unpublished letters (including correspondence between Che and Fidel), an index, and extensive glossary.

Process Get Your Pitchfork On!

TheRealDirtonCountryLiving
Kristy Athens
For hard-working office workers Kristy Athens and husband Michael, farming was a romantic dream. After purchasing farm land in Oregons beautiful Columbia Gorge, Athens and hubby were surprised to learn that the realities of farming were challenging and unexpected. Get Your Pitchfork On! provides the hard-learned nuts-and-bolts of rural living from city folk who were initially out of their depth. Practical and often hilarious, Get Your Pitchfork On! reads like a twenty-first century Egg and I. Get Your Pitchfork On! gives urban professionals the practical tools they need to realize their dream, with basics of home, farm, and hearth. It also enters territory that other books avoidstraightforward advice about the social aspects of country living, from health care to schools to small-town politics. Kristy Athens doesnt shy away from controversial subjects, such as having guns and hiring undocumented migrant workers. An important difference between Get Your Pitchfork On! and other farm/country books is that the authors initial country experiment failed. Ravaged by the elements, the economy, and the social structure of their rural area, Athens and husband sold their farm and retreated to Portland, Oregon, in 2009. This gave Athens the freedom to write honestly about her extraordinary experience. Having learned from mistakes, both Kristy and her husband are currently saving up to buy another farm, and this time to live a practical dream rather than an uninformed nightmare. Kristy Athens nonfiction and short stories have been published in a number of magazines, newspapers, and literary journals, most recently High Desert Journal, Barely South Review, and the anthology Mamas and Papas. In 2010, she was a writer-in-residence for the Eastern Oregon Writer-in-Residence program and Soapstone. This is her first book.

Pushkin Press
London, England
Uncork your best Tokay to toast the Pushkin Press.Alberto Manguel Pushkin Press publishes translations of classic and contemporary literature that change the way you look at the world. Although we are justly proud of our Anglo-Saxon traditions of fiction writing, we tend to ignore the parallel universes of non-Anglophone writing. Literature from other cultures often demonstrates a willingness to embrace emotions and passions eschewed by the Anglophone sensibility. It not only offers us alternative visions of the world, but also of ourselves. This cultural exchange strengthens and enriches our own literary tradition. Against all commercial odds, we choose to publish translations of foreign-language classics as well as to champion young contemporary writers who we believe reflect the extraordinary qualities of their illustrious predecessors. Thats why youll find a first-time writer such as the Tuscan Filippo Bologna, or Campiello Europa prize-winner Pietro Grossi, rubbing shoulders with literary luminaries such as Hermann Hesse, Italo Svevo, and Stefan Zweig. Its also why Philip Pullman described our list as one of the most imaginative and eclectic Ive seen. . . . A small box full of treasure. Every book Pushkin Press publishes involves passion in some form or other. There is that of the enthusiast who inspired us to publish the esoteric and little-known masterpiece (take Antal Szerbs Journey by Moonlight, now our most successful title); there is the undeniable passion for life and love that all our authors evoke; and there is our undiminished passion for the books we produce. We strive to publish books that will enthrall, delight, and linger in our readers thoughts long after they have closed our small, beautiful volumes.
Pushkin Press Three Lives

ABiographyofStefanZweig
Oliver Matuschek
TranslatedbyAllanBlunden
It will definitely be regarded as the authoritative Stefan Zweig biography in the future.Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung This is the authorized biography of the world-famous Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. It includes the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweigs memoir The World of Yesterday, offering us a glimpse into the private world of this master of psychological insight. Drawing on a wealth of sources held by the Zweig estate, to which Oliver Matuschek had unique access, he recounts the eventful life of a writer spoilt by success, which changed direction under the influence of contemporary events and ended tragically in a suicide pact with his second wife Lotte. The title Three Lives refers to the three major phases in Zweigs lifehis years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional working writer in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the United States, and Brazil. Oliver Matuschek studied politics and modern history, has co-authored several documentaries, and has published numerous works, most recently I Know the Magic of Writing: Catalogue and History of the Autograph Collection of Stefan Zweig (2005).

Olivier Berggruen
This collection of essays offers different ways of seeing twentieth-century art via the medium of aesthetics. Each essay explores a different vision: Pablo Picassos Mercure, Paul Klees work from the thirties, Yves Kleins concept of the Void, Ed Ruschas gunpowder drawings, and Cy Twomblys Bacchus paintings. Having curated exhibitions on the majority of these artists, Olivier Berggruens acquaintance with their work is profound, and his approach both scholarly and highly intimate. Olivier Berggruen lives in New York and has curated museum exhibitions devoted to Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Yves Klein, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Ed Ruscha.

Saqi Books Self-Criticism After the Defeat

Sadik al-Azm
Foreword by Fouad Ajami Introduction by Faisal Darraj
A unique book. . . . al-Azm sought to strip Arab thought of its belief in fate and folk tales and superstition. . . . He told his people the sort of truths that outsiders are too embarrassed to tell, even when they were themselves able to see these truths.Fouad Ajami The 1967 Warwhich led to the defeat of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt by Israel felt like an unprecedented and unimaginable disaster for the Arab world at the time. For many, the easiest solution was to shift the blame and to ignore some of the glaring defects of Arab society. Hailed as one of the foremost Arab intellectuals of recent decades, Sadik al-Azm was one of the few to challenge such a view in his seminal Self-Criticism After the Defeat. In it, he offered a penetrating analysis that probed deep into Arab society, and reasoned that Arabs had to embrace democracy, gender equality, and science to achieve progress. Self-Criticism After the Defeat represents a milestone in modern Arab intellectual history. It marked a turning point in Arab discourse about society and politics on publication in 1968, and spawned other intellectual ventures into Arab self-criticism. This is the first translation of the work into English. Born in Damascus in 1934, Sadik al-Azm is professor emeritus of modern European philosophy at the University of Damascus, Syria. He earned his PhD (1961) from Yale University, and was visiting professor in the department of near Eastern studies at Princeton University until 2008.
The landmark book that marked a turning point in Arab discourse about society and politics on its publication in 1968.

Saqi Books Legends of the Caucasus

David Hunt
The Caucasus has an extremely rich folk literature, almost unknown among English speakers, which includes myths, legends, magical tales, anecdotes, and proverbs. The one hundred and one legends included in this book reflect the cultures of fourteen different ethnic groupstheir dynamism and the matters that concerned them: survival against external dangers, the risk of starvation, and the persistence of the family or clan as a coordinated group. Descended from an oral tradition, much of their knowledge was retained in memories and passed down the generations. Yet, with the introduction of the alphabet, the way of life they portray is rapidly becoming extinct. The translation is derived from the manuscripts of Russian collectors working out of the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth century and from the Soviet Union in the mid-twentieth century. The text is a mixture of prose and verse, reflecting how the legends would have been performed by storytellers within the culture. This volume includes a map, bibliography, appendix, glossary, keyword and theme analysis, and references.

Sexuality in Islam
Abdelwahab Bouhdiba
Arguing that Islam is a lyrical view of life in which sexuality enjoys a privileged status, this work represents an attempt to integrate the religious and the sexual.

Born in 1932 in Kairouan, Tunisia, Abdelwahab Bouhdiba is professor of Islamic sociology at the University of Tunis, where he is also director of the Centre dEtudes et de Recherches Economiques et Sociales. He has served as an adviser to international organizations such as UNESCO and the United Nations. He was awarded the Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture in 2004.
Drawing on both Arabic and Western sources, the author describes the place of sexuality in the traditional Islamic world view.

Sarabande Books The 6.5 Practices of Moderately Successful Poets

ASelf-HelpMemoir
Jeffrey Skinner
A private eye turned moderately successful poet leads readers on a satiric, hopeful tour of how to make a life in the arts, while still having a life. Revealing, hilarious, and peppered with sly takes on the ins and outs of contemporary American poetry (chapters include The Silence of the Iambs, The Revisionarium, Ask Dr. Frankenpoem, and The Periodic Table of Poetic Elements), Jeffrey Skinner offers advice, candor, and wit. Revision is the process a poem endures to become its best self. Or, if you are the poet, you are the process a poem endures to become its best self. Endures because a first draft, like all other objects in the universe, has inertia and would prefer to stay where it is. The poet must not collaborate. Best self because the poem is more like a person than a thing, and does not strenuously object to personification. Yo, poem. But lets not get carried away. Its your poem and you can treat it as you wish; sweet talk it; push it around if thats what it takes. Alfred Hitchcock notoriously said of the actors in his movies, They are cattle. Jeffrey Skinner is the author of five books of poetry, most recently Salt Water Amnesia (Ausable Press, 2005). His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Nation, The American Poetry Review, Poetry, BOMB, and The Paris Review, and his work has earned awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Ingram Merrill Foundation, and the Howard Foundation.
Everything you wanted to know about being a moderately successful poet, but were too tired to ask.

Sarabande Books Syzygy, Beauty

AnEssay
T Fleischmann
T Fleischmanns Syzygy, Beauty shimmers with confidence as it tours the surreal chaos of gender, art, and desire. Its declarative sentencesseductive, abject, caustic, moving, informative, and utterly inventiveherald a new world, one in which we are blessedly here with outfits like strings of light and no future. I hail its weirdness, its armpit frankess, its indelible portrait of occulted relation, and above all, its impeccable music.Maggie Nelson Construction becomes quiet, the saw buzz and the bang little white wisps that stop at my edges. Well get used to most anything, at least enough to keep going. The will of the wisp. I want to poke a hole in my words so that people notice you are not here. Comfortable divots you could fill some day, if you wanted to. My mother sighs, my friends sigh. Youre so sad, they say. Im not, Im really not. Im just trying to breathe fully. The shadow of the mountain turns with the day, encroaching. When it settles on me I put the hammer down and walk to where it is still warm. In Syzygy, Beauty, T Fleischmann builds an essay of prose blocks, weaving together observations on art, the narrators construction of a house, and a direct address to a lover. Playing with scale and repetition, we are kept off-center, and therefore always looking, as the speaker leads us through an intimate relationship that is complicated and deepened by multiple partners, gender transitions, and itinerancy.
A book-length lyric essay triangulating between contemporary art, the construction of a house, and the direct address of a lover. Marketing Plans

Serpents Tail Black By Design

A2-ToneMemoir
Pauline Black
The best voice that ever graced 2-Tone.Rolling Stone The iconic queen of ska. . . . Its gritty, witty, and compelling.Elle Lead singer for platinum-selling 2-Tone band The Selecter, Pauline Black has been in the music business for over thirty years. The only woman in a movement dominated by men, she was very much the Queen of British Ska. She saw The Specials, Madness, Dexys Midnight Runners, and all the other top bands of that generation at their very best . . . and worst. Black was born in 1953 of Anglo-Jewish/Nigerian parents. Adopted by a white, working class family in the fifties, Pauline was always made to feel different, both by the local community and members of her extended family, who saw her at best as a curiosity, at worst as an embarrassing inconvenience. Weaving her rise to fame and recollections of the 2-Tone phenomenon with her moving search for her birth parents, Black By Design is a funny and enlightening memoir of music and roots. Pauline Black is a singer and actress who gained fame as the lead singer of seminal 2-Tone band The Selecter. The bands new album was released in September 2011.
A powerful autobiography from the frontwoman of the influential ska band The Selecter.

Small Beer Press A Stranger in Olondria

a novel
Sofia Samatar
Jevick, the pepper merchants son, has been raised on stories of Olondria, a distant land where books are as common as they are rare in his home. When his father dies and Jevick takes his place on the yearly selling trip to Olondria, Jevicks life is as close to perfect as he can imagine. But just as he revels in Olondrias Rabelaisian Feast of Birds, he is pulled drastically off course and becomes haunted by the ghost of an illiterate young girl. In desperation, Jevick seeks the aid of Olondrian priests and quickly becomes a pawn in the struggle between the empires two most powerful cults. Yet even as the country shimmers on the cusp of war, he must face his ghost and learn her story before he has any chance of becoming free by setting her free: an ordeal that challenges his understanding of art and life, home and exile, and the limits of that seductive necromancy, reading. A Stranger in Olondria is a skillful and immersive debut fantasy novel that pulls the reader in deeper and deeper with twists and turns reminiscent of George R. R. Martin and Joe Hill. Sofia Samatar is an American of Somali and Swiss German Mennonite background. She wrote A Stranger in Olondria in Yambio, south Sudan, where she worked as an English teacher. She has worked in Egypt and is pursuing a PhD in African languages and literature at the University of Madison, Wisconsin.

South End Press Making Peace With the Earth: Beyond Land Wars And Food Wars
Vandana Shiva
One of the worlds most prominent radical scientists.Guardian Pitting humans against the earth, and placing them outside the earth community, is an outmoded, fossilized legacy of capitalist patriarchy and mechanistic thought that gave us fossil-fuel based industrialism and colonialism and is now imposing militarized growth on communities. If our species is to survive, we must re-imbed ourselves in the earth and become part of the earth community. We must reawaken our duties to protect the earth and our rights as earth citizens to a fair share of her gifts. For this we need to revisit our concepts of growth and prosperity. Making peace with the Earth begins with a paradigm shift from the mechanistic ideas of the earth as dead matter to the earth as Gaia, a living planet, our mother. We need a new paradigm for living on the Earth because the old one is clearly not working. An alternative is now a survival imperative for the human species. And the alternative that is needed is not only at the level of tools, it is at the level of our world view. How do we look at ourselves in this world? What are humans for? And are we merely a money-making and resource guzzling machine? Or do we have a higher purpose, a higher end? Winner of the Sydney Peace Prize, Vandana Shiva is an internationally renowned physicist, activist, and best-selling author of many books, including Staying Alive, Earth Democracy, and Soil Not Oil.
In her boldest work yet, Vandana Shiva confronts a world on fire and places its fate directly in our hands.

South End Press Something Fierce

MemoirsofaRevolutionaryDaughter
Carmen Aguirre
Something Fierce is raw, courageously honest, and funny; an insightful journey into the formation of a revolutionary soul.The Globe and Mail In Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter, renowned actor Carmen Aguirre skillfully pilots readers straight into her girlhood initiation into a revolutionary family and ultimate decision, at age nineteen, to commit herself to the life of a radical. With vivid immediacy, Aguirre paints the political context and intimate experience of 1980s-era South American struggles against neo-liberal dictatorships: What does it feel like to be a child in the gun sights of Augusto Pinochets henchmen? How did the US-backed governments of revolutionary Latin America collaborate in eliminating dissent at the cost of a still untold number of ruined lives? Refreshingly frank, personable, and often wry, Something Fierce recalls the work of Gioconda Bell and Assata Shakur, paying special attention to the particular demands made of revolutionary womento leave the raising of their children to others or directly involve them in struggle, to eschew romantic love for revolutionary action, to embrace revolution over culture. A literal page-turner, Something Fierce reveals how normal people confront a life of privation and communal action, of terror alongside an unerring dedication that offers its own satisfactions. Bearing witness to the costs, beauty, and even seductions of resistance, Aguirre impels us to question: Do we choose revolution, or does revolution choose us? Carmen Aguirre is an award-winning playwright and actor with extensive credits in US and Canadian theater, film, and television.

Martine Desjardins
TranslatedbyFredA.ReedandDavidHomel
Magnificent blasphemy; a whiff of scandal.Pascale Millot, Montral centre-ville The world that Martine Desjardins presents with such admirable skill in Maleficium is inhabited by fear and desire, and its reality has unsuspected depths. With its surprises, exotic voyages, and shimmering descriptions, this book is a pure pleasure to read.Canada Council for the Arts In Maleficium, Martine Desjardins delivers to readers the unexpurgated revelations of Vicar Jerome Savoie, a heretic Catholic priest who has violated the sanctity of the confessional. In Savoies confession-within-a-confession, seven penitents, each afflicted with a debilitating malady or struck with a crippling deformity, relates his encounter with an enigmatic young woman whose lips bear a striking scar. As they penetrate deep into Ethiopia in search of wingless locusts, hunt for fly-whisks among the clove plantations of Zanzibar, bargain for saffron in a Srinagar bazaar, search for the rarest frankincense, pursue the coveted hawksbill turtle in the Sea of Oman, seek the formula for sabon Nablus in Palestine, or haggle over Persian carpets in the royal gardens of Shiraz, each of the men falls victim to his own secret vice. The mens individual forms of punishment are revealed through the agency of the young woman, and are wrought upon their bodies. Martine Desjardins is a freelance writer, translator, and journalist for Lactualit magazine. Fred A. Reed is an author, award-winning translator, and international journalist specializing in Middle Eastern affairs. Author and translator David Homel also works as a journalist, editor, and screenwriter.
The fourth and most acclaimed of Martine Desjardins novels creates a sensual and exotic world combining history, magic, and the bizarre.

The Visions that Founded Americas Theatres
Edited by Todd London
A wide-ranging, inspiring documentary history of the American theater movement as told, at the time of its making, by the visionaries who goaded it into being. This anthology collects over forty essays, manifestos, letters, and speeches that are each introduced and placed in historical context by the noted writer and arts commentator Todd London, who spent nearly a decade assembling this collection. The founding visions of theaters from across the country are represented here including: Arena Stage (Washington, DC), El Teatro Campesino (California), Barter Theatre (Virginia), Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Roadside Theater (Kentucky), Second City (Chicago), Theatre 47 (Dallas), Bread and Puppet (Vermont), The Actors Workshop (San Francisco), Public Theater (New York), Minnesota Theatre Company (Minneapolis), The Group Theatre (New York), and dozens more. This celebration of the artists who came before is an exhilarating look backward, as well as toward the future. Todd London is in his fifteenth season as artistic director of the Tony Award winning New Dramatists, where he has worked closely with more than a hundred of Americas leading playwrights and advocated nationally and internationally for hundreds more. The author of The Artistic Home and Outrageous Fortune: The Life and Times of the New American Play, he has written, edited, and/or contributed to eleven books.

Tony Kushner
Illustrated by Maurice Sendak
Exultant. . . . As the unlikely survival of this opera suggests, the joy and beauty that music and art express can outlast evil even when they cannot defeat it. The New York Times Its a tale of the outrage and rebellion of even the natural world of dogs, cats and sparrows against things as unnatural as injustice and poverty and the suffering of children. Its a story of good defeating evil. But its history is haunted by a single instance of evil defeating good.Tony Kushner Tony Kushner provides a new English libretto, and Maurice Sendak the design, for this Czech operaa beautiful childrens story extolling courage in the face of tyrannythat was first performed in a concentration camp. Just before the operas 1942 premiere, its composer Hans Krasa was arrested and sent to Theresienstadt, or Terezn, a model ghetto that was in reality a death camp. After a copy of the score was smuggled in, Krasa took advantage of the large number of talented instrumentalists there to stage the opera with imprisoned children. Performed fifty-five times at Terezn, Brundibar is published here with Kushners short play But the Giraffe, a sensitively drawn historical backdrop. Tony Kushners plays include Angels in America, Homebody/Kabul, A Bright Room Called Day, Slavs! and the book and lyrics for Caroline, or Change. Maurice Sendak is the author of over a hundred childrens books, including Where the Wild Things Are.

Mamet remains American theaters most urgent five-letter word.Guardian The finest American author of his generation.Sunday Mail Mr. Mamets talent for burying layers of meaning into simple, precisely distilled, idiomatic language can only be compared to Harold Pinters. The New York Times Acclaimed for spare, dark dramas and cutting comedies permeated with spiky confrontations, multi-award-winning playwright David Mamet once again proves nothing is quite what it seems in his latest work The Anarchist. With a nod to his mentor Harold Pinter, Mamet employs his signature verbal jousting in the story of two women: once involved with a Weather Undergroundlike group, a prisoner serving a life sentence desperately tries to make the case for her freedom to a prison governor.

Sarah Ruhl
Wickedly clever. . . . Ruhls unique, breezily elegant dialogue is fully present, as is her pleasingly loopy logic.Variety In the smart, rollicking Stage Kiss . . . passion and fidelity engage in a kind of elegant pas de deux . . . The play manages to be both wholly original and instantly recognizable . . . with its combination of hilarity and trenchancy. John Lahr, The New Yorker Award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl brings her unique mix of lyricism, sparkling humor, and fierce intelligence to her new romantic comedy, Stage Kiss. When estranged lovers He and She are thrown together as romantic leads in a long-forgotten 1930s melodrama, the line between off-stage and on-stage begins to blur. A knockabout farce that channels Nol Coward and Michael Frayn (Chicago Tribune), Stage Kiss is a thoughtful and clever examination of the difference between youthful lust and respectful love. Ruhl, one of Americas most frequently produced playwrights, proves that a kiss is not just a kiss in this whirlwind romantic comedy. Sarah Ruhls other plays include the Pulitzer Prize finalists In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) and The Clean House, as well as Passion Play, Dean Mans Cell Phone, Demeter in the City, Eurydice, Melancholy Play, and Late: a cowboy song. She is the recipient 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.

McPherson is quite possibly the finest playwright of his generation. The New York Times A theatrical spellbinder with a natural gift for storytelling . . . there is no mistaking the unsentimental passion that makes McPherson such a redemptive writer.Daily Telegraph One of Irelands leading playwrights, Conor McPherson sets his latest play around a house hemmed in by a restive, starving populace in rural Ireland. In May 1822, the defrocked Reverend Berkeley arrives at the once-glorious Mount Prospect House to accompany seventeen-year-old Hannah to England, where she is to be married off in order to absolve her mothers debts. But compelled by the peculiar voices that haunt his enchanting young charge and a fascination with the spirits that pervade the house, Berkeley proposes a sanceto disastrous consequences. Weaving Irelands troubled colonial past into a riveting tale about the pursuit of love, the transcendental, and the circular nature of time, McPherson directed the world premiere of his newest work at Londons National Theatre in fall 2011.

Anka Muhlstein, a Goncourt-winning biographer, is our charming guide through Mr. Prousts reading list.

Blue Stranger With Mosaic Background

Wayne Koestenbaum
Fast, obsessive, jumpy, tender, and joyful, the poems in Wayne Koestenbaums Blue Stranger With Mosaic Background take his signature themesstardom, scapegoating, aestheticism, nudism, exaltationand cut them into serial strips: tidbits that employ techniques of pointillism, mosaic, grid, aphorism, litany, and philosophical investigation. The luminaries in this memory-theater range from Yvonne de Carlo to Hannah Arendt. A trip to Venice and an invocation to an eschatological icecream man are the two longest trysts in a book exquisitely composed of bits that betoken a new brutalism in a writer known for svelte cadences and artful dodges.

Two Dollar Radio Radio Iris

Anne-Marie Kinney
Radio Iris brings new shimmer and depth to the word sensoryIriss perceptions are both keen and open, so mysterious and grounded, and the book builds a narrative of mystery and longing with visceral, ringing precision. Aimee Bender Iris feels goose bumps rising on her forearms, but hesitates to touch the thermostat. Her synthetic leather pumps are filling with sweat, creating an embarrassing squeak when she walks, but those tiny bumps on her arms are rising up in mute defiance. Her ninety-nine cent eyeliner is melting, a line of chocolate brown stamped now in the creases of both eyelids, but her lips are cold and chapped. Her body cannot agree with itself, and it is two minutes after two oclock. Radio Iris follows Iris Finch, a twentysomething socially awkward daydreamer and receptionist at Larmax, Inc., a company whose true function she doesnt understand (though shes heard her boss refer to himself as a businessman). Gradually, her boss erratic behavior becomes even more erratic, her coworkers begin disappearing, the phone stops ringing, making her role at Larmax moot, and a mysterious man appears to be living in the office suite next door. Radio Iris is an ambient, eerie dream of a novel, written with remarkable precision and grace that could also serve as an appropriate allegory for our modern recession. Anne-Marie Kinneys short fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Indiana Review, Black Clock, Keyhole, and Satellite Fiction.
Radio Iris deals with watercooler culture in an artful and existential way, delivering an eerie allegory of our modern recession.

Two Dollar Radio How To Get Into the Twin Palms

Karolina Waclawiak
It was a strange choice to decide to pass as a Russian. But it was a question of proximity and level of allure. Russians were everywhere in Los Angeles, especially in my neighborhood, and held a certain sense of mystery. I had long attempted to inhabit my Polish skin and was happy to finally crawl out of it. I would never tell my mother. She only thought of them as crooks and beneath us. They felt the same about us, we were beneath them. It had always been a question of who was under whom. Anya is a young woman living in a Russian neighborhood in Los Angeles, struggling between retaining her parents Polish culture and the Americanness she was submerged in growing up. She decides to blaze a new path, and attempt to assimilate within her adopted community, epitomized by the exclusive club the Twin Palms. It is Anyas goal to gain entrance to this club. How To Get Into the Twin Palms is hilarious and deeply moving, providing a humorous twist on the typical immigrant tale of belonging. Karolina Waclawiak is an assistant editor at The Believer whose screenplay adaptation of Sam Lipsytes Venus Drive is currently in development.

Umbrage Editions A Girl and Her Room

Rania Matar
IntroductionbySusanMinot
[Whats] most striking about Matars photography is . . . its balance between the realistic and poetic. She is the documentarian as lyricist, someone who, recording the incongruous, discovers the transcendent. Mark Feeney, The Boston Globe Award-winning photographer Rania Matar captures the interior lives of teenage girls and young women in intimate portraits taken within the personal spaces of her subjects bedrooms. From Spartan cleanliness to chaotic disarray, stark and paint-chipped to clothing-cluttered and graffitied, each room offers an insiders peek into the mind of the girl who lives there, her values, her desires, and her fears. Photographing girls from both the United States and Lebanon, Matar has succeeded in an unbiased documentary that questions what it means to grow from girl to woman and how our identities spill over into our material worlds. Rania Matar was born and raised in Lebanon, moving to the United States in 1983. Her projectswhich examine Palestinian refugee camps, the recent spread of the veil and its meanings, the aftermath of war, and the Christians of the Middle Eastreturn voice to people forgotten or misunderstood. She has won numerous awards, and her images are in the permanent collections of museums worldwide. Matars first book Ordinary Lives was published in 2009. She teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Susan Minot is an award-winning novelist and short-story writer whose books include Monkeys, Folly, Lust & Other Stories, and Evening.
Intimate, unbiased portraits of teenage girls in their bedrooms, investigating notions of identity and the move from child to adult.

Umbrage Editions Room 103

Jeroen Kramer
While Kramer may only see himself as perpetuating a cycle of exploitation, this book represents his obligation to reverse the trend, to make sure that the people with whom he is interacting and whose stories he is telling do not become just another number.Lauren Heinz, Foto8 In Room 103, photojournalist Jeroen Kramer juxtaposes his insiders view of Middle Eastern everyday life with the intense violence that permeates that life. Images rarely depicted in photographs from the Arab worldof male intimacy nuanced with homoerotic undertones, domestic interiors, family gatherings, eerily ordinary street scenesappear beside visceral images of the aftermaths of shootings and bombings. Kramers accompanying personal essays probe the meanings not only of his place in the Middle East, but also of the exploitative nature of photojournalism. No other book has so lyrically, succinctly, and honestly questioned the role of the photojournalist. Exposing the personal demons born from his life and work, Kramer proves that it is his recognition of these demons that brings his photography so close to the truth. Jeroen Kramer is a Dutch-born photojournalist who has covered subjects in the Middle East, Africa, Burma, and the Philippines. His work has been published worldwide, including in The New York Times and Vanity Fair, and his images have been featured in exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States.

Windhorse Publications Sailing the Worldly Winds

A Buddhist Way Through the Ups and Downs of Life
Vajragupta
This book focuses on the Buddhas teaching of the worldly winds, how we can learn to navigate them more effectively, so that we can sail safely through life rather than being blown off course, however stormy the weather. How do we really get on in this world? Tossed around by gain, buffeted by loss, borne aloft by praise, cast down by blame, how can we not be ground under, lose all direction, confidence, and sense of purpose? The Buddha had clear guidance on how to rise above these worldly winds, and Vajragupta here opens up for us the Buddhas compassionate yet uncompromising teaching. Using reflections, exercises, and suggestions for daily practice, this book can help you find greater equanimity and perspective in the ups and downs big and smallof everyday life. Sailing the Worldly Winds was written in conjunction with the Triratna Buddhist Order 2011 International Urban Retreat. Vajragupta has been a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order since 1994, and is director of the Triratna Development Team. He lives in Worcester, England, where he teaches Buddhism and meditation.
This book will guide you in the right direction when navigating the ups and downs of everyday life.

Tomasz Rz ycki
TranslatedbyMiraRosenthal
A vital new poet in the Polish language.Adam Zagajewski Tomasz Rzyckis sixth book seems like nothing if not an attempt to grapple with Elizabeth Bishops question, Should we have stayed at home and thought of here? But for Rzycki questions of travel and foreignness are never sepa rate from those of historypersonal history, political and national history, the history of things and places and trauma. Coffee and Cigarettes When I began to write, I didnt know that poems would transform me, make my skin translucent, Id become a weary ghost who, sleepless, roams the streets as if to ride a high till coming down, then go to bed with rabid dawn. But light would find me still out wandering and dropping in on friends, flat broke, a louse, a varmint, summoned by your nakedness or even just your sighing. And honey, how was I to know what all these dumb poems would make of me, that you would summon me to life, and thanks to you I would become the visible, in bed beside you, waiting till you fall asleep. Tomasz Rz ycki has published six books of poetry, including The Forgotten Keys, winner of the Koscielski Prize. He has been nominated twice for the Nike Prize, Polands most important literary award. He lives in his hometown, Opole, with his wife and two children. Mira Rosenthal has received NEA and Fulbright grants and held fellowships at the MacDowell Colony and the Vermont Studio Center. Her poetry has appeared in journals such as Ploughshares, The American Poetry Review, and Slate.
An exploration of collective memory in fiercely exacting poems.

Few of Andrei Sen-Senkovs patients and colleagues know of his status as one of Russias better-known contemporary poets, but he doesnt lose much sleep over this. Indeed, in person Sen-Senkov exhibits none of the pathos of the Inspired Lyricist. He is just as likely to complain about the weather, bemoan the latest political or natural disaster, or exclaim breathlessly over a newly discovered jazz musician as he is to discuss poetry. And when you read his poems, it all makes sense: for Sen-Senkov, anything can be poetry, everything is poetry. Born in 1968 in Dushanbe (now capital of Tajikistan), Sen-Senkov moved to central Russia following the break-up of the Soviet Union. He moved to Moscow in the beginning of the 2000s and joined the citys lively literary scene, although he works primarily as a gynecologist. His involvement in literary life has been as eclectic and wide-ranging as his choice of subjects: a tireless advocate of artistic innovation, Sen-Senkov participates in events devoted to visual poetry, sound poetry, video poetry, and other multidisciplinary endeavors, as well as traditional poetry readings. Sen-Senkovs poetry comes across easily and well in translation. Some of his imaginative leaps are more obscure than others, but this only increases the pleasure gained from following them. As a poet he is anti-hermetiche writes to be understood, and he is generous in sharing his observations. Translators and English-language readers alike can delight in the fact that the intuitive logic of his imagination essentially transcends linguistic boundaries.
The newest wave of Russian poetry, set to transcend linguistic borders.

Marianne Langner Zeitlin
In her third novel Motherless Child, Marianne Langner Zeitlin explores the world of classical music, where powerful managers can makeand breakthe careers of aspiring artists. The book opens with Elizabeth Guaragna, under an assumed name, taking a job in the new agency of famed music impresario Alfred Rossiter, a man she was raised to despise. She wants to glimpse the man who had destroyed her fathers piano career and family life years earlier, when he took Elizabeths mother as his lover. As Elizabeth is given opportunities to exercise her artistic judgment in her new job, she becomes involved in the business itself, despite her continuing misgivings. Soon she meets George Wentworth, who is writing a biography of Rossiter. Through him and the relationship they develop, she learns that the truth she is seeking is quite different from what she was raised to believe. When her fear of identifying her real background to Rossiter threatens her own love of George, she must finally confront Rossiter and her own past, learning that there are no villains in the tale. Marianne Langner Zeitlin has spent her adult life in the world of musicas the wife of acclaimed violinist Zvi Zeitlin, as one of the first women to manage an orchestra herself, and, in her young adulthood, as an employee at one of the largest music management firms in the United States.
