Nights I Dreamed of Hubert Humphrey by Daniel Mueller A new collection by the author of the critically-acclaimed How Animals Mate.

A City on a Hill by Stanley Jenkins "Stanley Jenkins' unforgettable characters roam America's heartland in search of its soul.

Jenkins finds shards of humanity inside hardened criminals, and the petty larceny lurking in all our hearts. A City On A Hill is a stunning debut." - Dick Scanlon > Read more |

Danielle Déronde a novel by Burton Raffel "What sort of God would allow not only the black, bleak existence of Hitler and all his minions, all the things that had happened and were still happening, and not only to Jews, but blindly, indifferently tolerate the revolting fact of this disgusting, immoral, impossible pregnancy?" > Read more |
|
Trip a novel by Mindy Hung "No more gazing longingly into the glowing windows of family homes. . ." A mordant comedy about sex tourism in South East Asia. A Lolita for the global economy. > Read more |

High Street by Tetman Callis "the devil is right behind me, tapping me on the shoulder to get me to come back, reminding me of how good it feels to be high in the summertime, day and night; telling me, Hey, big fella, you haven't fallen far enough; I keep shooting at you, big fella, but all you get is grazed and I want a square shot" > Read more > Watch trailer |

HISTORAMA a novel by Diza Sauers "This book is so strange and so good, a discovery, a treasure found, in more ways than one. It's a book of awesome links and leaps, peopled by characters mythic in their divine and formless quests. Feral children, runaway moms, ruthless reckless men and fabulous stories in every rock, seed and desperate room. A most disquieting and satisfying read." - Joy Williams > Read more > Watch trailer |
