decorative drawings to reinforce other images and ideas on the page, and the
way she modulates emotion by varying panel and letter size lends her comics a
tremendous amount of impact. Shes part of a group of artists that move with

Lost in the Fun Zone

Leif Goldberg
Foreword by Brian Chippendale
Respected underground printmaker, animator, musician, and zinemaker Leif
Goldberg directs his interdisciplinary talents towards sequential art with Lost
in the Fun Zone. Transposing buddy and road film dynamics into the world of
underground art comics, Goldberg adroitly balances absurdism with cultural
snark and art history commentary to produce a book worthy of its name.
Leif Goldberg was a member of the influential art collective Fort Thunder in
the late 1990s and early 2000s. He is known for his bold screenprint work as well
as experimental animation and contributions to the band Forcefield, who were
part of the 2002 Whitney Biennial.

We Will Not Be Silenced
The Academic Repression of Israels Critics
Edited by William I. Robinson and Maryam S. Griffin

Foreword by Richard A. Falk
Academic freedom meets the Israel lobby.
It is perhaps no surprise that as Israel drifts towards repression and reaction

within, and becomes increasingly isolated internationally as a result of the
harsh and criminal occupation, its informal lobby in the US becomes more desperate to stifle free and open discussion of the state they seek to protect. Efforts of the kind sampled here . . . are as deplorable as they are predictable, and
should be dismissed with contempt, and strongly opposed.Noam Chomsky
These testimonials provide a stunning and all too familiar portrait of the extent to which the forces that suppress free speech and academic freedom are at
work in the US university system to stifle those who would call for social justice
inPalestine. . . . These voices must be heard.Bishop Desmond Tutu
As criticism mounts over Israels violation of Palestinian human rights and international law, campaigns to silence and repress those who speak out against Israeli
apartheid and US complicity have grown alarmingly. Scholars have been denied
jobs, refused tenure and promotion, rejected for funding, and expelled from institutions, while student organizations have faced harassment and sanctions.
We Will Not Be Silenced offers thirteen powerful, firsthand testimonials from
scholars and students whose struggle to defend their academic freedom and free
speech has garnered widespread public and international attention.
William I. Robinson is professor of sociology, global and international studies,
and Latin American studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Maryam S. Griffin is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Davis.

Even mainstream media like the New York Times and The Economist have recently posed the question, Why dont the poor rise up?, uneasily amazed that
capitalism hasnt met with greater resistance. In the context of unparalleled
global wealth disparity, ecological catastrophe, and myriad forms of structural
oppression, this vibrant collection offers a reassessment of contemporary ob
stacles to mass mobilization, as well as examples from around the world of poor
people overcoming those obstacles in inspiring and instructive new ways. With
contributions from Idle No More cofounder Alex Wilson, noted Italian theorist
Franco Bifo Berardi, and nineteen other scholars and activists from around
the world, Why Dont the Poor Rise Up? presents a truly global range of perspectives that explore the question of revolution, its objective and subjective pre
requisites, and its increasing likelihood in our time.
Michael Truscello, PhD, is an educator at Mount Royal University and author of
the forthcoming book The Infrastructure Society.
Ajamu Nangwaya, PhD, is an educator at Seneca College with over twenty-five
years of experience in community organizing and advocacy.

Rupturing the Dialectic
The Struggle Against Work, Money, and Financialization
Harry Cleaver
A long-awaited new book from political theorist Harry Cleaver.
Rupturing the Dialectic rejects the quietism inherent in all economistic approaches to the current crises within capitalism and furnishes working people
with a clear, concrete, sensible program for how to move forward. This is a fine
book, and it is one from which activists will greatly benefit.David Sherman,
author of Sartre and Adorno
Cleavers theory of the value of labor to capital, explanation of money as a
critical mediator of class conflicts, and discussion of strategies for resistance
and transformation are remarkable. Rupturing the Dialectic offers emancipating ways to understand everyday life and financial crises in capitalism today.
A nitra Nelson, author of Marxs Concept of Money
Rupturing the Dialectic shows us how we may use Marxs labor theory of value
to resist the subordination of our lives to labor. Cleavers incisive analysis offers
the prospect of getting beyond the capitalist dialectic, rather than merely idealizing it.Brett Caraway, professor, the University of Toronto
Harry Cleavers pioneering Reading Capital Politically showed not only how capitalism seeks to structure every aspect of our lives through and around work but
also how we endlessly fight back in ways that reshape capitalism itself. Rupturing
the Dialectic skillfully brings this project up to date, interpreting capitalisms
most recent crises and demonstrating how ordinary people can, and do, rupture
the smooth functioning of the system that exploits them.
Harry Cleaver was a university professor for three decades, before retiring in
2012. His book Reading Capital Politically has been republished in seven languages and ten countries.

Blackout
Nanni Balestrini
Translated by Peter Valente
The first volume of poetry in English from Italys

greatest living revolutionary novelist, the iconic author
of We Want Everything.
Nanni Balestrini is the most significant writer of Italys revolutionary period in

the sixties and seventies, comparable only to Pier Paolo Pasolini. Blackout is the
first book of his poetry available in English. Written immediately after he was indicted by Italian authorities and forced to flee, it has at its center the great New
York blackout of 1977, a moment of chaos and panic, but also of mutual aid and
social solidarity. This comes to stand in for the years from 19681979 in Italy,
when a more or less open civil war between popular militants and the state escalated from strikes and riots to armed struggle. At once documentary and
visionary, it is a poem of heroic and daily struggles for freedom, captured in
heroic and daily language. It is a poem of popular revolt being crushed, a poem
for our era as well as his.

of the lefts usual assumptions and forces a reconsideration of what we mean by
struggle.K ristian Williams, author of Our Enemies in Blue
Behind the smiling faces of cashiers, wait staff, and workers of all sorts, a war is
being planned, usually without the knowledge of official political and labor organizations. Guerrillas of Desire begins with a provocation: The left is wrong.
Its historical and current strategies are too-often based on the assumption that
working and poor people are unorganized, acquiescent to systems of domination, or simply uninterested in building a new world. The fact is, as C.L.R. James
has noted, they are rebelling every day in ways of their own invention: pilfering, sabotaging, faking illnesses, squatting, fleeing, and counter-strategizing.
Kevin Van Meter maps these undercurrents, illustrating that everyday resistance
is an important factor in revolution and something radicals of all stripes must
understand.
Kevin Van Meter is an activist-scholar based in the Pacific Northwest. He is coeditor of Uses of a Whirlwind: Movement, Movements, and Contemporary Radical
Currents in the United States.

The Scientology Murders
A Dead Detective Novel
William Heffernan
The second installment in the Dead Detective series
finds protagonist Harry Doyle embroiled in a multiple-murder
investigation involving Scientology executives.
The Dead Detective is Heffernans first novel in seven years, and wherever hes
been, he hasnt forgotten how to write a good, gritty police procedural. . . . This
edgy police drama succeeds in capturing the hysteria that grips Tampa residents
when a celebrity criminal is found dead in a cypress swamp.New York Times
Book Review on The Dead Detective
While investigating a murder that has also left his much-loved adoptive father
seriously wounded, Harry Doyle, known to his peers as the Dead Detective,
finds himself faced with what many consider the most powerful and secretive
cult in the countryScientology. Clearwater, Florida, is the spiritual center of
Scientology, which is run by a group of fanatical believers who insist that members remain pure and true to their faith. One senior leader has a young man
in his employ, a twisted soul who will stop at nothing to make sure the rules
are followed. But Harry Doyle, his partner Vicky Stanopolis, and Clearwater
Sergeant Max Abrams are in hot pursuit, forcing the killer to run for cover.
The Scientologists have places to hide in every part of the globe, and Harry
finds himself pursuing the killer to the far reaches of Alaska. In a shocking
denouement where everyones life hangs in the balance, Harry and Vicky come
face-to-face with death in a form they never expected.
William Heffernan is the Edgar Awardwinning author of nineteen novels, including the international bestsellers The Corsican and The Dinosaur Club. He divides his
time between his forty-foot trawler in Florida and visits to his children around the
country. Prior to turning to fiction thirty-six years ago, Heffernan was a New York
City newspaper reporter who was nominated three times for the Pulitzer Prize.

Danny Goldberg
Fifty years after 1967, Goldberg explores the continued relevance of
political and cultural movements from that pivotal year in history.

Danny Goldbergs memoir contains the powerful reflections of the most progressive activist in the recording industry. His candor, vision, and sense of humor
are infectious.Cornel West

The 1967 Summer of Loveset against the backdrop of increased racial tension, the Vietnam War, a burgeoning drug culture, and an exploding new music
scenepropelled the counterculture philosophy of peace and love into the
mainstream. Although this sudden surge of unironic idealism vanished as quickly
as it had appeared, the cultural effects of 1967 can still be felt today. A half century later, Goldberg reexamines this pivotal year, stripping away the reductive
clichs that obscure the radical idealism of countercultural movements, and explores how and why the legacy of 1967 lives on today through movements like
Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and the political revolution espoused
by figures like Bernie Sanders.
Danny Goldberg is the author of How the Left Lost Teen Spirit and Bumping Into
Geniuses: My Life Inside the Rock and Roll Business. Since 2007 he has been president of Gold Village Entertainment, whose clients include Steve Earle and Against
Me!. Previously, Goldberg was president of Gold Mountain Entertainment (whose
clients included Nirvana, Bonnie Raitt, and the Allman Brothers), CEO of Air
America Radio, chairman of Warner Bros. Records, president of Atlantic Records,
and vice president of Led Zeppelins Swan Song Records.

This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake
Garbage
International bestselling rock band Garbage

presents its own autobiography, a gorgeous full-color
coffee-table book with text and images galore.
It was 1995, we were finishing our debut album, and I was stressed. A lot of
music business people had told me it was a mistake to give up full-time music
production to start a band. So I ignored them all and took a leap of faith. The
simplest reason was that I just wanted to be in a band with my friends. Id been
playing with Duke and Steve for several years, and now we had a new beginning
with an X factor: a Scottish singer named Shirley. She seemed like a good fit for
our little club of misfits. So we all took that leap.Drummer Butch Vig, from
This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake
World famous for their eclectic, original style, Garbage have enjoyed critical and
commercial success for more than twenty years. Now, for the first time, the four
band members tell the story of their incredible journey in their own words. This
full-color book examines how Garbage make their music, the toll this takes, and
how they have survived for this long.
Garbage (Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Steve Marker, and Duke Erikson)
formed in Wisconsin in 1994. Their debut album, Garbage, sold over four million copies and they were nominated for three Grammy awards. Theyve since
recorded five more multimillion-copy bestselling albums as well as the theme
song to the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough. In 2015 they celebrated
the twentieth anniversary of their debut record with a worldwide tour. Garbages
sixth album, Strange Little Birds, was released in 2016.

The Tower of the Antilles
Achy Obejas
Achy Obejass stories of contemporary Cuba explore how

history and fate intrude on even the most ordinary of lives.
Obejas writes like an angel, which is to say: gloriously . . . one of Cubas most
important writers.Junot Daz
The Cubans in Achy Obejass story collection The Tower of the Antilles are haunted
by an island: the island they fled, the island theyve created, the island they were
taken to or forced from, the island they long for, the island they return to, and the
island that can never be home again.
In Supermn, several possible story lines emerge about a 1950s Havana sexshow superstar who disappeared as soon as the revolution triumphed. North/
South portrays a migrant family trying to cope with separation, lives on different hemispheres, and the eventual disintegration of blood ties. The Cola of
Oblivion follows the path of a young woman who returns to Cuba, and who inadvertently uncorks a history of accommodation and betrayal among the family members who stayed behind during the revolution. In the title story, The
Tower of the Antilles, an interrogation reveals a series of fantasies about escape and a history of futility.
With language that is both generous and sensual, Obejas writes about lives
beset by events beyond individual control, and poignantly captures how history
and fate intrude on even the most ordinary of lives.
Achy Obejas is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Ruins, Days of Awe,
and three other books of fiction. She edited and translated into English the anthology Havana Noir, and has since translated Junot Daz, Rita Indiana, Wendy
Guerra, and many others. In 2014, she was awarded a USA Ford Fellowship
for her writing and translation work. She currently serves as the Distinguished
Visiting Writer at Mills College in Oakland, California.

Jonathan Lewis-Adey was nine when his parents separated, and his mother, Sid,
vanished entirely from his life. It is not until he is a grown man that Jonathan

named Sydney living in his native Trinidad.
At the novels opening, Jonathan is summoned urgently to Trinidad where
Sydney, now aged and dying, seems at last to offer him the gift he longs for: a winding story that moves forward sideways as it reveals the truths of Sydneys life.
But when and where the story will end is up to Jonathan, and it is he who must
decide what to do with Sydneys haunting legacy of love, loss, and acceptance.

Hadriana in All My Dreams
Ren Depestre
Foreword by Edwidge Danticat
Translated by Kaiama L. Glover
Legendary Haitian author Ren Depestre combines

magic, fantasy, eroticism, and delirious humor
to explore universal questions of race and sexuality.
You do not need to believe in zombies or Vodou to be carried away by this

storya metaphor for all forms of dispossession. . . . Ren Depestre has gone beyond nostalgia to write a sumptuous love story.Le Monde
Hadriana in All My Dreams, winner of the prestigious Prix Renaudot, takes place
primarily during Carnival in 1938 in the Haitian village of Jacmel. A beautiful
young French woman, Hadriana, is about to marry a Haitian boy from a promi
nent family. But on the morning of the wedding, Hadriana drinks a mysterious
potion and collapses at the altar. Transformed into a zombie, her wedding becomes her funeral. She is buried by the town, revived by an evil sorcerer, and then
disappears into popular legend.
Set against a backdrop of magic and eroticism, and recounted with delirious
humor, the novel raises universal questions about race and sexuality. The reader
comes away enchanted by the marvelous reality of Haitis voodoo culture and
convinced of Depestres lusty claim that all beingseven the undead ones
have a right to happiness and true love.
Ren Depestre, born in 1926, is one of the most important voices of Haitian literature. A peer of seminal figures like Aim Csaire, Pablo Neruda, and Andr
Breton, Depestre has engaged with the politics and aesthetics of negritude, social realism, and surrealism for more than half a century. Having lived through
significant moments in Haitian history, Depestre is uniquely positioned to reflect
on the extent to which the Americas and Europe are implicated in Haitis past and
present.

Getting It Right is the story of Kara and Alex, half-sisters who have never met,
one the product of an abusive foster-care setting, the other of dysfunctional
privilege. The novel is set in Harlem, the Bronx, and the wealthy community of
Bedford, New York, during two weeks in March.
Haunted by crippling memories, Kara falls for the wrong men, tries to help
her foster-care siblings suffering from PTSD, and longs for the father and halfsister she only knows from a photograph. Alex, meanwhile, struggles to keep
her younger sisters out of trouble, her mother sane, and her marketing business
afloat. Now she has a new responsibility: from his hospital bed, her father tasks
Alex with finding Kara, the mixed-race child he abandoned. Alex is stunned to
learn of Karas existence but reluctantly agrees.
To make things more complicated, Kara loves a married man whom the FBI
is pursuing for insider trading. When Alex eventually finds her half-sister, she
becomes embroiled in Karas dangers, which threaten to drag them both down.
If Kara doesnt help the FBI, she could face prosecution and possible incarceration, and if Alex cant persuade Kara to meet their father, she will let him down
during the final days of his life.
This novel explores grit and resilience, evolving definitions of race and family,
and the ultimate power of redemption and forgiveness.

Afterword by Kenzabur

Translated by Charles De Wolf
The unsettling story of a young man who suffers an identity crisis

after getting tangled up in a telephone scam.
Me is an exquisitely fashioned novel. It begins with a now-routine form of larceny, then quickly moves into a murky twilight zone, a cul-de-sac, arriving at the
enigmatic edge of the world in which we live. . . . It is a superb piece of work, immediately reminiscent of Kobo Abe.Kenzabur e, author of A Personal Matter
This novel centers on the Its me telephone scamoften targeting the elderly
that has escalated in Japan in recent years. Typically, the caller identifies himself only by saying, Hey, its me, and goes on to claim in great distress that hes
been in an accident or lost some money with which he was entrusted at work,
and needs funds wired to his account right away.
In a brilliant probing of identity employing a highly original style that subverts standard narrative forms, Tomoyuki Hoshino elevates what might have
been a commonplace crime story to an occasion for philosophical reflection. In
the process, he offers profound insights into the state of contemporary Japanese
society.
Tomoyuki Hoshino was born in 1965 in Los Angeles, but moved to Japan when
he was two. He made his debut as a writer in 1997 with the novella The Last
Gasp, which won the Bungei Prize. His novel The Mermaid Sings Wake Up won
the Mishima Yukio Prize; and Fantasista was awarded the Noma Literary New

Reaper
Jill McDonough
A targeted look at Americas drone program and our culpability,

questioning what, if anything, weve learned from our brutal past.
Reaper knocked me flat with its utter breathlessness. . . . McDonough paints a

stark picture of a soulless tomorrow ruled by the technologies of convenience
a tomorrow we just might stop if we could.Patricia Smith
These dark, straightforward poems showcase the power of technology by painting a vivid picture of Americas expanding drone program and the havoc we
wreakand then ignorearound the globe. McDonough offers the past,
present, and future as non-linear timelines, and explores how the intersection
between man and machine is starting to blur, and how were losing qualities essential to being human.
From My Sister Wants to Buy My Dad a Drone For Fathers Day:
What a pain
in the ass to have a sister like me,
who wont just fork over her share
of the dough. Who has to feel dumb
ways about things, distracted by names
like DarkStar, Scan Eagle, Shadow,
Wasp Block. Who doesnt want a toy
airplane with a camera? My dad is not going
to shoot suspected insurgents, hover
over his neighbors homes for days.
Technology is fungible. Also
really cool. Drones dont kill people,
people et cetera. People drown
in water. But I still want to drink it.
Jill McDonough is the winner of a 2014 Lannan Literary Fellowship and three
Pushcart prizes. Shes received fellowships from the National Endowment for
the Arts, the Fine Arts Work Center, the New York Public Library, the Library

The Blessing of Dark Water
Elizabeth Lyons
These poems swirl with darkness, beauty, and confusion

as Elizabeth Lyons dovetails her life and that of
American artist Walter Inglis Anderson.
These poems are infused with contradiction: discovery and pain, blood and
healing. Ultimately, The Blessing of Dark Water is wrenching in its investigation of the artistic urge as tempered by the transformative power of suffering.
A my Quan Barry
Lyonss debut, The Blessing of Dark Water, highlights the exquisite pain and terrible happiness of mental illness by invoking the voice and perspective of
American artist, Walter Inglis Anderson, who struggled with bipolar depression and psychotic episodes. These poems grapple with the suffering and secrecy
of invisible illness, and the aching struggle for a simple human connection
within the complexities.

How All Things are Managed

They call it a falling into death.
Two dogs are shot into my vein.
Three-second breath then
the shake and jerk.
One dog starves and the other
feeds on its body.
Remember: thou art dust.
If I am lucky, there is only the darkness,
an explosion.
Perhaps a fracture,
a concussion,
a dislocation.
Flecks of blood.
If the illness in your brain is brutal,
be brutal back.
Elizabeth Lyons holds an MFA from Purdue University and is a Ph.D. candidate
at the University of Houston. Her poems have appeared in Tin House, Indiana
Review, New South, and Salt Hill. A recipient of fellowships and prizes from the
Bread Loaf Writers Conference, Vermont Studio Center, the I-Park Foundation,

Surgical Wing
Kristin Robertson
These steely Southern Gothic [poems] conjure a powerful

compendium of bodies married and metamorphic.Anna Journey
In Surgical Wing, you will find yourself in phone booths, county fairs, fishing boats, and among ghosts. Strange birds will enter hospital waiting rooms.
You will be seduced by knot-makers. You will witness illness, grief, and healing.
Finally, the book itself will become the wings that steer you to a greater understanding of yourself and the world.A nna Silver
In Surgical Wing, surrealistic poems visit an experimental hospital ward, manifesting visions of winged angels and medical tests, as we bear witness to a doctors meddling and miracles. Robertsons poems challenge the internal and
external metamorphoses of the human condition and the juxtaposition between
death and life by personifying the soul through images of birds.
From Youre About to Fold a Paper Airplane:
Build evidence of air. Pull the results of your blood test
from the mailbox. Fold in half: you have wings already.

Jam in the Band is the story of the rise and fall of the all-female junk-rock band
Pitch Girl. The story focuses on the tension between the members of the band
and the varying levels of commitment they are willing to make to be successful. Lead singer Bianca is willing to give up everything to make her dream into
a reality, while her bandmates Tiara and Corbin feel a much stronger pull towards the comforts of home and intimacy. These tensions will start to simmer
when Tiara is confronted with her first real chance at a romantic relationship
since Pitch Girl became famous. All of this comes to head when the band embarks on an ill-fated overseas tour.
These three young women have to try to figure out who they are and what
they want as they transition to the next phase of their lives. Told through a montage of drama, interviews, handheld camera footage, diary pages, news reports,
music videos, web chats, and punk rock flyers; Jam in the Band is the story of
the lives creative people stumble through in their twenties as they try to live out
their hopes and dreams.

The Diary of Menorah Horwitz
Menorah Horwitz
From the creator of Miss U.S. of Heya comes a true story

about gender, Judaism, and gel nail polish.
From the creator of Miss U.S. of Heya comes a true story about gender, Judaism,
and gel nail polish.
Michael Horwitz, a shy twenty-nine-year-old gay illustrator, combines Judaism
and a love of drag in all the wrong ways when he becomes Menorah, Portlands
premiere Anne Frank impersonator. Dressed in a puke-colored schoolgirls uniform, stripper heels, and nails made from burning candles taped to his fingers,
Michael explores Portlands queer and punk party scene, one bad lip synch at
a time. He falls in with drug-happy club kids, hot-tempered local divas, and
some of the worlds most famous drag queens (sometimes disastrously)
all while waking up at 6:00 am the next morning to bag groceries. But not
everyone is happy with Michaels new alter ego, specifically his very supportive family. Michaels creative detour takes a detour of its own when he realizes
that Menorah isnt a persona but a suggestion of the person hes always wanted
to be. What began as an imitation of someone famous for speaking their truth
becomes a transition into hisor rather herauthentic self. Diary of Menorah
Horwitz is an autobiographical comedy about finding your authentic self in the
artificial world of drag; a first-person account of gender transitioning; and an exploration of traditional Jewish identity intersecting with new gender norms.
Menorah Horwitz is the drag alter ego of Portland-based artist Michael Horwitz.
His work has been featured in PDX Contemporary Art, PICAs Time Based Arts
Festival, Disjecta, and Linework NW. In 2015 he was named A Queer to Watch

Kingdom Cons
Yuri Herrera
Translated by Lisa Dillman
Beats, daggers, girls, and graft: can the Artist sing truth
to power where a Mexican drug baron holds court?
Herrera is Mexicos greatest novelist. Francisco Goldman

Herreras novels are like little lights in a vast darkness. I want to see whatever
he shows me.Stephen Sparks, Green Apple Books
Yuri Herrera is my favorite of the new Mexican writers. Herrera transmigrates us
to a Mexico that feels like a metaphysical condition, a timeless kingdom in which
the living are forever dancing with the dead.John Powers, NPR Fresh Air
In the court of the King, everyone knows their place. But as the Artist wins
hearts and egos with his ballads, uncomfortable truths emerge that shake the
Kingdom to its core. Part surreal fable and part narco-lit romance, this prize-
winning novel from Yuri Herrera questions the price of keeping your integrity
in a world ruled by patronage and power.
Born in Actopan, Mexico, in 1970, Yuri Herreras English-language debut Signs
Preceding the End of the World won the 2016 Best Translated Book Award. His
follow-up The Transmigration of Bodies has built on the critical and popular success of its predecessor. He teaches at the University of Tulane in New Orleans.
Lisa Dillman is a US translator based in Atlanta, Georgia, where she translates

Home and Away
Simple, Delicious Recipes Inspired by the Worlds
Cafes, Bistros, and Diners
Randy Shore and Darcy Shore

A cookbook inspired by how food from around the world
connects us all, and reminds us of home.
Cooking outside ones comfort zone is now easier than ever: ingredients once
considered exotic are now available at supermarkets across the country, and
were now more open to exploring the far reaches of the world through food.
This tantalizing cookbook takes readers on a global tour through food, from
the steamy noodle shops of Seoul to the wood-fired grills of Istanbul to the funky
dives of San Francisco. Randy and Darcy Shore explore how food informs our
ideas around community and identity (home), and how it shapes our experience of and appreciation for other cultures (away). Their recipes are based on
their years of travel as well as their intrinsic interest in the foods of other cultures; they make once complicated dishes a little easier for North American
cooks while still respecting centuries-old food traditions. Their book includes
such dishes as Braised Pork Belly with Crunchy Rice, Volcanic Soba Noodle
Salad, Moroccan Lamb with Lemon Couscous, and Jerk Chicken with Grilled
Romaine. Theres also interviews with chefs Mario Batali, Edward Lee, Anita
Lo, Vikram Vij, and others on the ways their cultures influence their cooking.
With 140 recipes, Home and Away takes home cooks on a delicious trip around
the world, no passport required.
Randy Shore strapped on a backpack at the age of twenty-one and immersed
himself in budget travel and global cuisine. He writes a food column for the
Vancouver Sun. He continues his travels with wife Darcy Shore, who has been
working around food since she was a teenager.

Scarborough is a low-income, culturally diverse neighborhood east of Toronto,

the fourth largest city in North America; like many inner city communities, it
suffers under the weight of poverty, drugs, crime, and urban blight. Scarborough
is a novel that employs a multitude of voices to tell the story of a tight-k nit neighborhood under fire: among them, Victor, a black artist harassed by the police;
Winsum, a West Indian restaurant owner struggling to keep it together; and
Hina, a Muslim school worker who witnesses firsthand the impact of poverty
on education. And then there are the three kids who work to rise above a system
that consistently fails them: Bing, a gay Filipino boy who lives under the shadow
of his fathers mental illness; Sylvie, Bings best friend, a Native girl whose family struggles to find a permanent home to live in; and Laura, whose history of neglect by her mother is destined to repeat itself with her father.
Scarborough offers a raw yet empathetic glimpse into a troubled community
that locates its dignity in unexpected places: a neighborhood that refuses to be
undone.
Catherine Hernandez is a queer theatre practitioner and writer who has lived
in Scarborough off and on for most of her life. Her plays Singkil and Kilt Pins
were published by Playwrights Canada Press, and her childrens book M is for
Mustache: A Pride ABC Book was published by Flamingo Rampant. She is the

The Chicken Who Saved Us
The Remarkable Story of Andrew and Frightful
Kristin Jarvis Adams
A young autistic boy on the brink of death finds

the courage to survive with the help of his chicken.
Young Andrew was autistic and bilingual. He spoke Englisha nd Chicken.

He would sit on the front porch deep in conversation with his best friend, an
Araucana chicken named Frightful. It was a two-way dialog consisting of secrets told and secrets kept between boy and fowl. His feathery friend became
his voice; his only way to communicate in a confusing world. But one day,
Andrew confided to Frightful: I think my body is trying to kill me.
That single statement catapulted Andrews family and medical community into
action: To discover and destroy the unseen monster that was claiming Andrews
lifea disease that created pain so great that no painkiller could touch it.
By the time Andrew was sixteen, he had spent seven years in and out of
the hospital. Through it all, Frightful listened as she sat in his lap or zoomed
down the street on his new electric bike, stuffed into his jacket, zippered up to
her beak.
Hospitalized, Andrew talked to Frightful with the aid of two iPads and a
FaceTime connection. Her love and friendship armed Andrew with the courage
of a superhero as he received an experimental bone marrow transplant. He wasnt
expected to live through the night, but he shouted into a room full of doctors,
nurses, and family, Bring It On!
At his graduation, Andrew stood in front of an auditorium of parents, administrators, and peers and delivered a speech titled Why I Think Chickens Have
Autism. He received a standing ovation.

A Fugitive in Walden Woods
Norman Lock
Henry David Thoreaus principles are tested
when a young man escapes from slavery into Walden Woods.
Praise for The American Novels series:

[Norman Locks fiction] shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and
complex insights.NPR
Portraying the traumatic psychological aftershock not of war but of slavery provides a convincing and complex narrative of new hardships faced by escaped slave
Samuel Long in Norman Locks bold and enlightening novel A Fugitive in Walden
Woods. Its an important novel that creates a vivid social context for the masterpieces of such writers as Thoreau, Emerson, and Hawthorne and also offers valuable insights about our current conscious and unconscious racism.Sena Jeter
Naslund, author of Ahabs Wife and The Fountain of St. James Court; or, Portrait of
the Artist as an Old Woman
Samuel Long escapes slavery in Virginia, traveling the Underground Railroad
to Walden Woods, where he encounters Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Lloyd Garrison, and other transcendentalists and abolitionists. While Long will experience his coming-of-age at
Walden Pond, his hosts will receive a lesson in human dignity, culminating in a
climactic act of civil disobedience.
Against this historical backdrop, Norman Locks powerful narrative examines issues that continue to divide the United States: racism, privilege, and what
it means to be free in America.
Norman Lock is the author of, most recently, the short story collection Love
Among the Particles, and the three previous books in The American Novels
series: The Boy in His Winter, a re-envisioning of Mark Twains classic The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; American Meteor, an homage to Walt Whitman
and William Henry Jackson; and The Port-Wine Stain, an homage to Edgar
Allan Poe and Thomas Dent Mtter. He lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey, where
he is at work on the next book in The American Novels series.

When a young woman returns to her childhood home after her estranged fathers
death, she begins to piece together the final years of his life. What changed him
from a prominent left-wing journalist to a bitter racist who defended the murder
of a defenseless African immigrant? Kramer exposes a country gripped by intolerance and violence to unearth the source of a familys fall from grace.
Set in Paris and its suburbs, and inspired by the real-life scandal of a French
author and intellectual, Autopsy of a Father blends sharp observations about
familial dynamics with resonant political and philosophical questionstaking
a scalpel to the racism and anti-immigrant sentiment spreading just beneath the
skin of modern society.
Pascale Kramer is the author of eleven books, including three novels published
in English: The Living, The Child, and Autopsy of a Father, which was a finalist
for the La Closerie des Lilas, Ouest-France, and Orange du Livre prizes. Born in
Geneva, she has worked in Los Angeles and now lives in Paris, where she directs

Freuds Trip to Orvieto
The Great Doctors Unresolved Confrontation
with Antisemitism, Death, and Homoeroticism;
His Passion for Paintings; and the Writer in His Footsteps
Nicholas Fox Weber

An illuminating journey into a complex mind, a searing exploration
of masculinity, and a celebration of arts provocative power.
At once profound and wonderfully diverse, and as gripping as any detective

story. Nicholas Fox Weber mixes psychoanalysis, art history, and the personal
with an intricacy and spiritedness that Freud himself would have admired.
John Banville, author of The Sea and The Blue Guitar
An ingenious and fascinating reading of Freuds response to Signorellis frescoes at Orvieto. . . . It is filled with intelligence, wit, and clear-eyed analysis not
only of the paintings themselves, but how we respond to them in all their startling sexuality and invigorating beauty.Colm Tibn, author of Brooklyn and
Nora Webster
After visiting an Italian Renaissance cathedral, Sigmund Freud deemed Luca
Signorellis frescoes the greatest artwork hed ever encountered, yet a year later
couldnt recall the artists name. The memory loss vexed Freud and has long
puzzled other analysts. When Nicholas Fox Weber discovered an obscure docu
ment about this pivotal episode in Freuds life, he turned to the frescoes themselves. This pilgrimage leads him into the psychological and emotional mysteries
surrounding masculinity and identity. Through rich illustrations, Weber evokes
arts singular capacity to provoke, destabilize, and enchant us, as it did Freud, and
awaken our deepest memories, fears, and desires.
Nicholas Fox Weber is the director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and
author of fourteen books, including biographies of Balthus and Le Corbusier.
He has written for the New Yorker, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall
Street Journal, Le Monde, ARTnews, Town & Country, and Vogue, among other
publications.

Does a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness?
In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains
her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women,
and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation.
Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into
an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives.

The Lighthouse
Alison Moore
In this Man Booker Prize-nominated novel, one mans
contemplative walk through the German countryside
has sinister and shocking consequences.
Disquieting, deceptive, crafted with a sly and measured expertise, Alison

Moores story could certainly deliver a masterclass in slow-burn storytelling.
The Independent
The Lighthouse is a spare, slim novel that explores grief and loss, the patterns in
the way we are hurt and hurt others, and the childlike helplessness we feel as we
suffer rejection and abandonment. . . . The brutal ending continues to shock after
several re-readings.The Guardian
[A] hauntingly complex exploration of the recurring patterns that life inevitably
follows, often as a consequence of ones past.The Sunday Times
Futh, a middle-aged, recently separated man heads to Germany for a restorative
walking holiday. During his circular walk along the Rhine, he contemplates the
formative moments of his childhood. At the end of the week, Futh returns to what
he sees as the sanctuary of his hotel, unaware of the events which have been unfolding there in his absence.
Alison Moores first novel, The Lighthouse, was shortlisted for the Man Booker
Prize and the National Book Awards, winning the McKitterick Prize. Both The
Lighthouse and her second novel, He Wants (Biblioasis, 2015), were Observer
Books of the Year. A third novel, Death and the Seaside, is forthcoming in the US
from Biblioasis. Her shorter fiction has been included in Best British Short Stories

Boundary
Andre A. Michaud
Translated by Donald Winkler
Two teenage girls are found murdered in the wooded borderland between
Maine and Quebec, devastating an idyllic cottage community.
The literary thriller exists. Andre A. Michaud is the proof.La Presse

The writing is impassioned, inspired. The pace is breathless, yet punctuated by
scenes of everyday family life.Le Devoir
Where deep woods cover the Maine border, blending together two countries
and two languages, the summer of 1967 is a time of fear. Teenage beauties Sissy
Morgan and Zaza Mulligan wander among the vacation cottages in the community of Boundary, attracting the attention of boys and men, before theyre found
gruesomely murderedfelled by a long-dead woodsmans bear traps. Andre, the
little girl whose name nobody can pronounce, watches the police investigate, unaware of how profoundly these events will impact her passage into womanhood.
Reminiscent of Scandinavian thrillers by Asa Larsson, Henning Mankell,
and others, Boundary was a crossover hit when first published in the French, winning both the Governor Generals Award for literature and the Arthur Ellis Prize
for mystery novels. By weaving a tale of unbearable suspense and meticulously
evoked atmosphere, Michaud transforms endless forests, haunted people, and
primal terror into an irresistibly gripping summer read.
Andre A. Michaud is a novelist from Quebec. She won the Governor Generals
Award for French-language fiction twice: first for the novel Le ravissement in
2001, and again for the novel Bondre in 2014. In addition to writing award-

We Are Arrested
A Journalists Notes From a Turkish Prison
Can Dndar
Award-winning journalist Can Dndar exposes the oppression

of the media and the curtailing of the press freedom
in Recep Tayyip Erdo
gans Turkey.
Can Dndar is a very courageous journalist.Orhan Pamuk

In November 2015, Can Dndar, editor-in-chief of the Turkish daily newspaper
Cumhuriyet, was arrested on charges of divulging state secrets and espionage.
Condemned and arraigned by the President himself, Dndars crime was informing the public of the discovery of a highly illegal covert arms shipment. The
story revealed that the countrys intelligence service was secretly shipping weapons to Syria, making Turkey a party to the Syrian civil war. This was a crime that
it was in the governments interest to conceal, and a journalists duty to expose.
The title of We Are Arrested is taken from Can Dndars tweet on the day he
was detained. This book is his account of the discovery, the decision to publish
it, and the events that unfolded after that decision. Dndar and the newspaper
faced police barricades, would-be suicide bombers and assassination attempts,
and fierce attacks from pro-government media.
Incarcerated in Silivri Prison, Dndar decided to write down his experiences.
Here, in isolation, he learned to appreciate the small things in life. Most importantly, he realised that courage in an age of fear is essential if the publics right to
know is to be defended.
Following the events of July 2016, in which elements of Turkeys armed forces
staged an attempted coup against the countrys government, prompting backlash from President Recep Tayyip Erdoan, this book stands as a beacon for free
speech.

Adrian Phillips
In 1936, a constitutional crisis in the British Empire arose when Edward VIII

from her first husband and was pursuing the divorce of her second. The crisis led
to the Kings abdication in December of that year. Adrian Phillips reveals the

Mrs Keppel
Mistress to the King
Tom Quinn
The true story of royal courtesan Alice Keppel, mistress to King Edward VII
and great-grandmother of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Alice Keppel was one of the most remarkable courtesans in British history. She
was extraordinary for a number of reasonsnot least that she was the lover of
Edward VII for many years, though she managed to avoid much of the stigma
attached to being a royal mistress. In fact, Edward was so devoted to her that he
insisted she be received wherever he went.
For Mrs. Keppel, it was not how things were that mattered, but how they appeared. Her precepts were those of the English upper classes: discretion, manners, and charm. Sexual fidelity was for those lower down the social scale, but the
appearance, at least, of civilized marriage was vital; as essential as pearls, furs,
and a hat at Ascot.
Aside from her relationship with Edward VII, Alice Keppel is also noted for
being the mother of Violet Trefusis, famously the lover of Vita Sackville-West,
and, intriguingly, great-g randmother to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, once a
royal mistress herself.
Tom Quinn, bestselling author of Backstairs Billy, unearths the fascinating
story of Mrs. Keppel, revealing her to have been one of the most compelling
characters of the Edwardian era: charming, voracious, selfish, manipulative,
and indeed, strikingly modern.

When her beloved small dog, Bonnie, died, Bel Mooney was astonished at the

Bonnies ashes being turned into glass, talks to experts, and discusses the mysterious, enduring energy of love. She discovers why ancient Egyptians mummified animals and what different faiths, myths, writers, and scientists have to
say on the subject. She also looks back over her own life and reflects on lessons
learned from companion animalsa nd from wildlife, too.
As informative as it is deeply moving, Goodbye, Pet & See You in Heaven is
an intensely personal, uplifting look at the love we share with pets, both in life
and afterwards. Enriched by heartfelt stories and inspirational words, it is a book

The Myth of Meritocracy

James Bloodworth
The best jobs in Britain today are overwhelmingly done by the offspring of privi
leged parents. Meanwhile, it is increasingly difficult for bright but poor children to transcend their circumstances. This state of affairs should not only worry
the poor. It hurts the middle classes too, who are increasingly locked out of the
top professions by those from wealthy backgrounds. And, in a grossly unequal
society, the privileges of the parents unfailingly become the privileges of the
children.

The Corruption of Capitalism
Why Rentiers Thrive and Work Does Not Pay
Guy Standing
Guy Standing demonstrates why, in the interests of democracy and

our common wealth, the rise of rentier capitalism must be resisted.
In this thoughtful book, Guy Standing focuses on the central problem of

modern capitalismt he tendency of great wealth to transform itself into political power that corrupts the political process and generates laws and regulations favouring the wealthya nd suggests useful and important solutions.
R obert Reich, US Labor Secretary 199397
There is a lie at the heart of global capitalism. Politicians, financiers, and global
bureaucrats claim to believe in free, competitive markets, but have constructed
the most unfree market system ever made. It is corrupt because income is channelled to the owners of propertyfi nancial, physical, and intellectualat the
expense of society.
This book reveals how global capitalism is rigged in favour of rentiers to the
detriment of all of us, especially the precariat. A plutocracy and elite enriches
itself, not through production of goods and services, but through ownership
of assets, including intellectual property, aided by subsidies, tax breaks, debt
mechanisms, revolving doors between politics and business, and the privatization of public services. Rentier capitalism is entrenched by the corruption of democracy, manipulated by the plutocracy and an elite-dominated media.
The Corruption of Capitalism argues that rentier capitalism is fostering revolt,
and concludes by outlining a new income distribution system that would achieve
the extinction of the rentier while promoting sustainable growth.

Athenian Blues
Pol Koutsakis
Stratos is a walking contradiction: a hitman with a conscience,

charged with killing the most beloved lawyer in Greece.
The first in the Stratos Gazis mystery series and the first time this Greek novelist is available in English.
Stratos hates being called a hitman. A conscientious fixer is what he is. He
fixes problems that very few can deal with. Things that people are willing to pay
handsomely to get done, without wanting to know about the small stuff. Stratos
is their man, provided that his meticulous research shows him that the targets deserve their fate. As he says, Im a kind of Robin Hood. I hunt down the villains.
And I rob them. Of their lives.
But now, in the midst of the Greek economic and political crisis, this film-noir
loving assassin takes on the highest-profile case of his career. He finds himself
caught between the most beloved lawyer in Greece, known as the guardian of
the poor, and his actress wife, the most desirable woman in the country. They are
both in dire need of his killing services, but which one is telling the truth? Helped
by three childhood friendsCostas Dragas, a homicide cop; Teri, a transsexual
high-class hooker; and Maria, the passion of his lifehe discovers that truth, in
shattered loves and broken families, is, as ever, a relative thing.
Pol Koutsakis, born in Crete in 1974, writes novels, plays, and screenplays.
Athenian Blues is his first novel to be translated into English. Baby Blue, the sequel to Athenian Blues, is expected to be published by Bitter Lemon Press in 2018.

Three Drops of Blood
and a Cloud of Cocaine
Quentin Mouron
Translated by W. Donald Wilson
A man is found mutilated in his truck. The local sheriff

and an out-of-town cokehead start parallel investigations.
After Joel Dicker, here is the latest literary sensation from Switzerland: brilliant twenty-five-year-old novelist Quentin Mouron with his first mystery novel,
which garnered ecstatic reviews in the French-speaking world. This is the first
time his work is available in English.
Three Drops of Blood and a Cloud of Cocaine is a darkly humorous literary and
psychological mystery set in a Boston still suffering from the consequences of
the financial crisis. Written with the pace and controlled violence of the best
of Quentin Tarantinos films, it is the story of Franck, a private detective from
New York, a cokehead and a dandy, who, in a race against time and the local
sheriff, investigates two brutal murders committed by what could be the same
psychopath.
Breaking with many conventions of the genre, the novel holds a satirical
mirror to our society by entering the minds of two men at the edge of sanity.
Sheriff McCarthy, a church-going family man, is desperately trying to keep
some sort of boundary between the sordidness of his investigations and his private life. He is also a man trying to keep faith in human nature and the order
that should prevail in the world. But Franck, willing to kill for the sake of a
good pun, dominates the story. He is a disturbing, violent, totally decadent
charactera lways overdressed, an actor with too much make-up, a man always
rushing to the bathroom for another line of coke, revealing the darker workings
of the case with a blood-c urdling laugh.

Stefani Deoul
Sid Rubin and her brainiac buddies become embroiled

in a dark-web world, which leads to a very real murder mystery.
Question: Do any of you know the truly scary part about being seventeen?
Answer: your brain doesnt actually know, understand or care what it cant do;
and, while this sounds great in theory, in my particular case, my under-developed
brain apparently didnt know I couldnt fly.
So I jumped . . .
And I plummeted . . .
And I promise you, if I somehow manage to survive this act of immature-brain-
encased-in-unbelievable-stupidity, I will gladly tell you exactly how I got here.
And here, for the record, would be chasing a dark-web killer through the middle of
a live action role-playing game, better known as a LARP.

Everyday Narcissism
Yours, Mine, and Ours
Nancy Van Dyken

Foreword by Anne Katherine
A step-by-step guide showing how to recognize narcissism
in ourselves and others and cultivate meaningful interactions.
Narcissism is a belief that the world revolves around us, and that what happens
in the world happens because of us. Most of us live with a form of narcissism
so common and so deeply embedded that we dont even know we have it. This
everyday narcissism (EN) comes from a combination of childhood wounds
and powerful myths we were taught as children. Everyday Narcissism helps readers understand how EN manifests in their own lives and teaches them how to
heal it. It also helps readers learn to recognize EN in others and respond in
healthy ways. This awareness provides a foundation for creating greater happiness, more fulfilling relationships, less reactivity, and more meaning.

Ghosts of Seattle Past
Edited by Jaimee Garbacik
Cartography by Josh Powell
Place and politics collide in a multimedia free-for-all

a ghost tour of a boom city trying to find its soul.
Seattle is built on boomslogging, fishing, aerospace, and now tech. This anthology gathers essays, interviews, photography, and comix to reconstruct community hubs lost to growth. From the settlements of Native American tribes to
the incubators of grunge, from a foxxxy cabaret to an Old Spaghetti Factory,
Ghosts of Seattle Past provides an eyes-on-t he-street view of a city in flux.
The Ghosts of Seattle Past anthology comes at a critical point: Seattle had
the countrys steepest rent hikes in 2015. The city is becoming a national focal
point for issues of development. Both recent transplants and the old guard are
trying to figure out how to live in the new landscape. Through their warm, conversational, whip-smart voices, the citys residents speak not only to the current boom, but also to longer-brewing problems of segregation, queer erasure,
and colonization. Tracing the issues across six hand-d rawn maps, Seattles best-
known artists (including Elissa Washuta, Kate Lebo, and Paul Constant) join
community lynchpins (including Chief Seattles great-g reat-g reat-g reat grandson) in a dialogue as incisively political as it is richly human.

Thirteen Views of the Suicide Woods
Bracken MacLeod
These stories inhabit the dark places where pain and resignation intersect, and
the fear of a quiet moment alone is as terrifying as the unseen thing watching
from behind the treeline. A young woman waits for her father to come home
from the place where no one goes intending to return. A single word is the push
that may break a man and save a life. The end of a marriage unravels the world.
And a still day beneath the sun illuminates the quiet sorrow of the last feather
to fall.
Bracken MacLeod is the author of Mountain Home, White Knight, and, most

A direct sequel to Nickles tale of Idaho eugenics and American

At the dawn of the twentieth century in the Idaho logging town of Eliada, orphaned farm boy Jason Thistledown and black physician Andrew Waggoner
came face to face with monsters: the human sort, in the form of American eugenicists seeking to perfect the human race through breeding and culls; and
the inhuman, a parasitic species named Juke, that lived off the hopes, dreams,
and faith of humanity, even as it consumed it from within.
The year is 1931 . . .
In a remote valley in the Bavarian Alps, the Germanic students of those
eugenicists seek to uncover the secret of the Juke and the promise of the
bermensch. In Paris, Dr. Andrew Waggoner enters his third decade of un
ravelling the mystery of the elusive organism. Jason Thistledown, now a veteran pilot of World War I, gets ready to embark on a new career flying mail and
passengers in North Africa and, he hopes, forget the profound horrors that have
shaped him.
Soon, they will all have to reckon with one other: a terrible synthesis of
those horrors, which moves among humanity with an inexorable and terrible
purposeobliterating and reshaping that humanity until there is only one
thing left:
Die volks.

and reviled; their stories scorched into our collective psyches. This book profiles
twenty-one female murderers throughout historyfrom powerful female warriors such as Boudicca and Agrippina to the revenge killings of Ruth Ellis and
Phoolan Devi to the outright psychotic butcherings of Mona Fandey and Juana
Barraza. Beautiful and evocative illustrations by Sarah Tanat-Jones make their

Free music festivals were at the epicenter of counterculture in Britain from the
1960s to the 1980s. With roots deeply embedded in the social history of British
folklore, they evolved from embryonic jazz festivals through the anti-nuclear
protest marches of the early 1960s to the Rock Against Racism and Jobs for a
Change gigs of the late 1970s and early 1980s. They encapsulated the most radical
voices of generations of young people, reflecting the political schisms and social
unrest that characterized the mid-to-late twentieth century.
Memory of a Free Festival explores and celebrates this wondrous world of bohemia. Hundreds of previously unpublished period photographs from the front
line capture the jazz-loving beatniks, flower-power hippies, and post-punk indie
kids in all their festival finery. Gorgeously evocative and beautifully packaged,
this is a timely and inspirational photo book that sheds light on a crucially forgotten corner of countercultural history.
Sam Knee is a fashion and music historian whose previous books include Vintage
T-Shirts (Carlton, 2008), A Scene In Between (Cicada, 2013) and The Bag Im In

Benjamin Alire Senz
A gay Latinos intimate journey through addiction,

A major Latino writers intimate but healing journey through addiction, human
desire, and broken love.
From He Leaves a Message in the Middle of the Night:
He loved beer
and crack. He loved heroin, ecstasy, the sad music
of the bars. He said he loved you too. You are
thinking of the night you met him. Late October
night, the breeze as soft as his black eyes. He was
so hungry for trouble. You were so hungry
for anything that resembled love. Your finger
tracing the tattoos on his chest, you dreamed
of living in the prison of his arms. But you refused
to live in the prison of his deadly nights. You
cant survive without the morning
light. You repeat this again and again:
Hes a man, not an illness. Tattoos and prison.
Novels and poems. A bird can love a fish but they cant
live in your apartment. He called again last night
and left a message that was meant to wound.
He said: I want to know what you meant when
you said I love you. You said: I love you. I meant I love you.
He said: I want to know what you meant when
you said goodbye. You said: Goodbye. I meant goodbye.
You whispered his name in the dark.
Benjamin Alire Senz in 2013 won the Pen/Faulkner Award and the Lambda

White Lies Matter
Race, Crime and the Politics of Fear
Tim Wise
In an era of escalating racial tension, Tim Wise provides a much-needed
critique of the manipulation of fear that breeds violence and injustice.
[Wises] work is revolutionary, and those who react negatively are simply afraid
of hearing the truth.R obin D.G. Kelley
Tim Wise is one of the great public moralists in America today.
M ichael Eric Dyson
With stories of police misconduct and the shooting of unarmed people of color
a permanent fixture of our nations news cycle, White Lies Matter provides
a framework for understanding the politics of black outragea nd the subsequent white backlash to urgent calls for justice and racial equality. Tim Wise
connects the dots between historical flare-ups of white fear of blacks, dating
back to the race riots of the 1970s, the Civil Rights movement, Reconstruction,
and the founding of the nation itself. He shows how the national media and the
political system are being manipulated through the repetition of false narratives meant to stoke white fear of black crime, effectively perpetuating chronic
inequities and violent racial oppression in the United States. With passion and
poise, Tim Wise provides his readers with the factual ammunition needed to
resist right-w ing narratives of white victimization as he calls on the nation to
step back from violence and fear and to find strength in the reality of our multicultural community.
Tim Wise is one of the most prominent antiracist essayists, educators, and activists in the United States. He is regularly interviewed by national media, including
CNN, Tavis Smiley, and Tom Joyner. His books include Under the Affluence, Dear
White America, Colorblind, White Like Me, and Between Barack and a Hard Place.

In December 1981, Mumia Abu-Jamal was shot and beaten into unconsciousness
by Philadelphia police. He awoke to find himself shackled to a hospital bed, accused of killing a cop. He was convicted and sentenced to death in a trial that
Amnesty International has denounced as failing to meet the minimum standards of judicial fairness. In Have Black Lives Ever Mattered?, Mumia gives voice
to the many people of color who have fallen to police bullets or racist abuse, and
offers the post-Ferguson generation advice on how to address police abuse in the
United States. This collection of his radio commentaries on the topic features an
in-depth essay written especially for this book to examine the history of policing in America, with its origins in the white slave patrols of the antebellum South
and an explicit mission to terrorize the countrys black population. Applying a
personal, historical, and political lens, Mumia provides a righteously angry and
calmly principled radical black perspective on how racist violence is tearing our
country apart and what must be done to turn things around.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is the author of many books, including Death Blossoms, Live
from Death Row, All Things Censored, Writing on the Wall, and Jailhouse Lawyers.

Storming the Wall
Climate Change, Migration, and Homeland Security
Todd Miller
Fast-paced frontline reportage chronicling how
climate change is accelerating migration, border build-up,
and militarization in the US and beyond.
Praise for Border Patrol Nation by Todd Miller:

Scathing and deeply reported . . . quite possibly the right book at the right time.
Los Angeles Times
An alarming story.Publishers Weekly, starred review
According to US military planners, climate change now poses the #1 national security threat to the United States, even before terrorism. The Internal
Displacement Monitoring Centre reports that a person is four times more likely
to be forced to move due to environmental disaster than by war, and in 2015
alone, 19.2 million people were displaced worldwide by environmental disasters. Droughts, fires, and floods are driving ever-larger numbers of people to
cross national borders, and the problem is not just the vast numbers of people
on the move, but also the legions of highly militarized border armies being deployed to stop them. In fast-paced prose, Todd Miller travels to hot spots in the
United States and around the globe to investigate how environmental crisis is
creating millions of climate refugees who are challenging the developed worlds
borders and resources. Miller explores how a sense of threat in the United States
is giving rise to high-tech surveillance fortresses and fueling calls for an ever-
expanding border wall. He also weaves in stories of people engaged in creative
defiance of the armies, border patrols, and police being deployed to fight those
in need. Miller passionately makes the case for ecological restoration, not border
militarization, as the best way to achieve sustainability and security.
Todd Millers writings about the border have appeared in the New York Times,
Tom Dispatch, and many other places.

Paul Madonnas popular comic All Over Coffee had been running for twelve
years in the San Francisco Chronicle when he was evicted from his longtime home
and studio in the Mission District, ground-zero in the tech wars transforming the city. Suddenly finding himself yet another victim of San Franciscos overheated boomtown housing market, with its soaring prices and rampant evictions,
Madonna decided to use his comic as a cathartic public platform to explore the
experience, and to capture the complex, highly charged atmosphere of a city
and a lifebeing forced through a painful transition. In a series of drawings and
stories, Madonna evokes the sense of vertigo induced by being forced from his
home, and the roil of emotions that ensue as he enters into the citys brutal competition for a place to live. The line between reality and surreality begins to blur
almost immediately, in real life and in his comic. Absurd, maddening, and all-too-
poignant, these drawings and stories capture the spirit of not just San Francisco,

When Julie skips school and sets off with her best friend and some local boys
for a camping trip in the desert, she finds herself the target of unwanted, drug-
fueled sexual attention. Running away in fear, she takes a dangerous fall down
the shaft of a vast underground cave, and it takes two days for her to be rescued.
Lying unconscious in her hospital bed, Julie hovers between life and death as
she travels in a seductive parallel universe inspired by remarkable cave paintings left behind by prehistoric humans.
Marko, her attacker, tries to cover his tracks, menacing those who know what
happened in the desert that night. Jamal, the youngest son in a family of Iraqi
refugees living in Julies small town, is one of his prime targets. He defies Marko,
keeping him away from Julies bedside and refusing to fall prey to his threats of
violence.
Meanwhile, Marissa, who gave Julie up for adoption fifteen years earlier when
she became pregnant as an adolescent, is following an instinct that leads her back
to the daughter she once abandoned. With the aid of Jamal and a local Native
American hitman/shaman, she attempts to draw Julie back to consciousness.
Madison Smartt Bell is best known for his trilogy of novels about Toussaint
Louverture and the Haitian Revolution, including All Souls Rising, which was
a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award. He is the
author of numerous books of fiction and nonfiction, and Professor of English at
Goucher College.

Like a Dog
Tara Jepsen
A scrappy young skateboarders story of underground worlds and fringe

existences, confusing family relationships, and the struggle for intimacy.
Like a Dog is poignant, funny, and stark, a story about the rudderless freedom and
beauty of a low-stakes life, and how love can survive in a deeply wounded family. Paloma is a skateboarder in her early thirties, a free-spirited young woman
living on the margins, aimlessly working low-pay jobs and finding happiness in
disreputable places. She struggles to have a relationship with her brother Peter,
whose self-destructive drug addiction makes it nearly impossible. Despite the
pain of navigating a distressing sibling relationship and the havoc it wreaks on her
own emotional life, Palomas outlook is generally playful and irreverent. Ruminating on the human condition as she works part-time as a gardener, she offers up
her philosophy on life Why cant we humans be more like dogs . . . wouldnt it
be great if all a mother wanted was a butt scratch?
At times the perspective switches from Palomas to Peters, and we get insight
into a junkys life, where death by overdose looms, but getting off heroin feels
impossible. Working for a pot grower in Humboldt County, Peter gets Paloma a
job, and she shines in her new role as a weed broker for celebrity clients, making
good money for the first time in her life. Suddenly, she has the freedom to consider her dream of becoming a stand-up comedian.

The Last Word
Reviving the Dying Art of Eulogy
Julia Cooper
A lively examination of why the modern eulogy

should rest in peace.
In the spirit of the reckoning Elaine Scarry, Susan Sontag, Jessica Mitford, and
Maggie Nelson have done with death and grief, journalist Julia Cooper contemplates the debased art of eulogy.
While eulogizing has always been an amateurs art, the continually mounting social pressure to repress any and all negative emotion has rendered the act
of saying goodbye essentially meaningless. Following after Barbara Ehrenreichs
Bright-Sided, and with the rigorous acumen of Sara Ahmeds The Promise of
Happiness, Cooper examines how the social imperative to be happy lets us all
down precisely at the darkest moment of our livesimmediately after a loved
ones death.
Through insightful, surprisingly playful readings of famous eulogiesfrom
a scene in Love Actually to Elton Johns threnody Candle in the Wind to Jacques
Derridas heart-rending essays on the deaths of his peersC ooper argues
against the culturally ingrained desire to avoid thinking about death that results
in clichd memorials. Artfully honoring our deceased intimates requires instead the courageous ability to honestly and bravely enter into our most distressing and complex emotions. With a light but provocative touch, Cooper suggests
that in clawing out space for engaged grief, the eulogy may yet be revived from
its current place as an item on a list of hasty actions or stages designed to run a
quick course back to a happy normal; instead, the eulogy can be returned to
its rightful placea s a moment of grief and reflection, and, of course, as an art.
Julia Cooper has written for the Globe and Mail, the National Post, and Hazlitt
magazine, among others. Based in Toronto, Ontario, she recently completed a
PhD in English Literature at the University of Toronto.

Suzanne
Anas Barbeau-Lavalette
Translated by Rhonda Mullins
The story of a mid-century artist who refused to

give up her freedom for anythingeven her family.
Its about a nameless despair, an unbearable sadness. But its also a reflection on
what it means to be a mother, and an artist. Most of all, its a magnificent novel.
Les Mconnus
Anas Barbeau-L avalette never knew her mothers mother. Curious to understand why her grandmother, Suzanne, a sometime painter and poet associated
with Les Automatistes, a movement of dissident artists that included Paul-mile
Borduas, abandoned her husband and young family, Barbeau-L avalette hired a
private detective to piece together Suzannes life.
Suzanne, winner of the Prix des libraires du Qubec and a bestseller in French,
is a fictionalized account of Suzannes life over eighty-five years, from Montreal
to New York to Brussels, from lover to lover, through an abortion, alcoholism, Buddhism, and an asylum. It takes readers through the Great Depression,
Qubecs Quiet Revolution, womens liberation, and the American civil rights
movement, offering a portrait of a volatile, fascinating woman on the margins
of history. And its a granddaughters search for a past for herself, for under
standing and forgiveness.
Anas Barbeau-L avalette is a Montreal-based author and director. She was
named the 2012 Artist for Peace by the social justice organization Les Artistes
Pour la Paix.
Rhonda Mullins is a writer and translator living in Montreal. She received the

Stephen Florida
Gabe Habash
A troubled college wrestler in North Dakota falls in love and

becomes increasingly unhinged during his final season.
In Stephen Florida, Gabe Habash has created a coming-of-age story with its own,
often explosive, rhythm and velocity. Habash has a canny sense of how young
men speak and behave, and in Stephen, hes created a singular character: funny,
ambitious, affecting, but also deeply troubled, vulnerable, and compellingly
strange. This is a shape-shifter of a book, both a dark ode to the mysteries and
landscapes of the American West and a complex and convincing character study.
Hanya Yanagihara, author of A Little Life
Foxcatcher meets The Art of FieldingStephen Florida follows a college wrestler in
his senior season, when every practice, every match, is a step closer to greatness
and a step further from sanity. Profane, manic, and tipping into the uncanny,
its a story of loneliness, obsession, and the drive to leave a mark.

Chaos and coincidences of history

Edward Lorenz was a meteorologist at MIT in the early 1960s.
Looking for a devil in the detail of meteorological data, he was trying to forecast
global weather patterns (creating forecasting models that would later be applied to
economics and financial analysis).
Complicated sets of equations,
sometimes arbitrary webs of information,
measurements of initial conditions
churned through a primitive computer.
The machine was named the Royal McBee.
Laura Raicovich works as President and Executive Director of the Queens
Museum. She is the author of A Diary of Mysterious Difficulties (Publication
Studio), a book based on Viagra and Cialis spam, and is an editor of Assuming
Boycott: Resistance, Agency, and Cultural Production (OR Books).

Laura Kasischke
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, Laura Kasischke
unapologetically explores the dark and humorous realities of our lives.
Kasischke astonishes with her lyricism and metaphorical power.

Publishers Weekly
Every poem is exquisitely crafted, with crisp, clean lines and imagery that
dazzles.The Washington Post
Laura Kasischkes long-awaited selected poems presents the breadth of her

sound in her exploration of the everydayw hether reflections on loss or the
complicated realities of childhood and family. As literary critic Stephen Burt

The Lice
W.S. Merwin
Introduction by Matthew Zapruder
The fiftieth anniversary edition of a revolutionary book that
still stuns with its prophetic, political, and stylistic force.
When first published in 1967, W.S. Merwins The Lices visionary urgency directly
engaged the nexus of aesthetics and morality, exerting an immediate and lasting effect on the writing and reading of poetry. Like all great art, this monumental work
continues to inspire.
As Merwin discussed in an interview, The Lice was written at a time when
I really felt there was no point in writing. I got to the point where I thought the
future was so bleak that there was no point in writing anything at all. And so the
poems kind of pushed their way upon me. I would be out growing vegetables
and walking around the countryside when all of a sudden Id find myself writing a poem, and Id write it.

The Essential W.S. Merwin
W.S. Merwin
This ambitious and exuberant distillation of W.S. Merwins
vast poetic oeuvre presents the absolute best of the best.
Merwin is one of the great poets of our age.Los Angeles Times Book Review
Merwin has become instantly recognizable on the page; he has made for himself that most difficult of all creations, an accomplished style.Helen Vendler,
New York Review of Books
It is gratifying to read poetry that is this ambitious, that cares about vision
and the possibilities of poetry, by a poet who is capable of so much change.
The Nation
Essential means just that: A deeply considered selection from W.S. Merwins vast
oeuvre that represents the poemsa nd a few select pieces of proset hat readers
will cherish today, tomorrow, and into the next century. This incisive, slender collection draws only the best of the best from the work Merwin published over his
sixty-year writing career. A teeming, resonate testament from a rare and deeply
rewarding poet.
And what better way to honor those thousands of poems that are not in The
Essential W.S. Merwin than by highlighting an aphoristic poem that is:
Separation
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
Since launching his career by winning the Yale Younger Poets Award in 1952, W.S.
Merwin has written and translated sixty books of poetry and prose and won every
major literary prize this country has to offer. He lives in Hawaii, within the palm
forest where he wrote, On the last day of the world I would want to plant a tree.

faded memories, and snapshots of LA and New York.

Dimitrov can sound at once hip and naive, devoted to the sincerities that other
sorts of poets reject or obscure.Publishers Weekly
A divided paean to New York City and Los Angeles in the tradition of Frank
OHara, Alex Dimitrovs second collection intimately confronts love and its aftermath, through late-n ight longing and a wistful uncertainty that muses and
wonders at what comes next. Through faded snapshots and snippets of conversations, these poems search for meaning in the strangers we meet on the street

The Silence That Remains:
Selected Poems
Ghassan Zaqtan
Translated by Fady Joudah
This ambitious collection by Palestines leading poet provides a

documentary perspective of an embattled region through delicate
narratives and lyricism.
[A] rare occurrence in the poetry world.A merican Book Review

As a child, Ghassan Zaqtan lived in a refugee camp near the River Jordan. While
that painful experience deeply influenced his poetry, when Zaqtan was awarded
the prestigious Griffin International Prize, the judges noted: His words turn
dark into light, hatred into love, death into life. His magic leads us to the clearing where hope becomes possible, where healing begins across individuals, countries, races.
When interviewed by PBS for their special on Palestinian poets, Zaqtan said, I
am not the kind of person who will walk in front of the demonstration. I walk behind the demonstration in order to collect the small things that may fall, whether
its the handkerchief or a childs backpack or a purse.
This generous bilingual volume represents two decades of dazzling creativity.
Handkerchief
Nothings left to say between us
everything went
into the train that hid its whistle
in the smoke that didnt become a cloud
in the departure that gathered your limbs
Nothings left to say between us
so let your death be
the insight of dazzling silver
and let the sun of those cities
be a rose on your shoulders

disease, as Son House once put it, the very stuff
blues are made of, real blues
that consist of a male and female, not monkey junk
like the Okra blues or Pay Day blues,
though I think House would agree
two hearts of any persuasion are enough for a real blues,
if one of them is sick, that sickly green of a frog
bitten in two by the neighbors dog, all of which
makes me wonder about the source of our disease
and whose teeth first tore the heart after Adam

Hard Child
Natalie Shapero
Natalie Shapero spars with apathy, nihilism, and mortality, while

engaging the rich territory of the thirties and new motherhood.
Shapero writes in an urgent vernacular that flirts, stings, implores and demands
with apparent abandon.Houston Chronicle
Shaperos poetics has real-world import for the way we use language to talk
about messy things.Volta
Thought-provoking and sardonically expressive, Shapero is a self-proclaimed
hard childu nafraid to directly address bleakness as she continually asks
what it means to be human and to bring new life into the world. Hard Child is
musical and argumentative, deadly serious yet tinged with self-parody, evoking
the spirit of Sylvia Plath while remaining entirely its own.
From Hot Streak:
Actually its ridiculous to opine on what kind
of a dog I would be, were I ever a dog, as I dont
contain within me half enough life to power
a dog. I WOULD BE A DEAD DOG, THATS
WHAT KIND, or maybe a mere industrial object
boasting a low-grade animation, some odd beep
or flicker, like a dryer or a bulb. So, sure, I could
be a reluctant bulb, the only one still offering light
in an otherwise burnt-out fixture bolted
hard to a row house porch. And all those moths,
with no other place to die. Cant they murder
themselves on someone else? . . .
Natalie Shapero has worked as a civil rights lawyer and is currently Professor of
the Practice of Poetry at Tufts University. Her first poetry collection, No Object,
was published in 2013, and her writing has appeared in The Believer, The New
Republic, Poetry, and The Progressive. She lives in Massachusetts.

Time Will Clean the Carcass Bones:
Selected and New Poems
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.Booklist
The poems [are] taut, lucid, lyric, filled with complex emotional reflection while
avoiding the usual difficulties of highbrow poetry.The New York Times Book
Review
MacArthur Genius Award winner Lucia Perillo is a fearless poet who, with characteristic humor and incisive irony, confronts the failings and wonder of nature,
particularly the frail and resilient human body. This generous collection draws
upon five previous volumes, including books selected as a New York Times 100
Notable Books of the Year and as a finalist for the Pulitzer prize.
From Again, the Body:
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? . . .
Lucia Perillo graduated from McGill University in Montreal with a major in
wildlife management, and subsequently worked for the US Fish and Wildlife
Service. She completed her MA in English at Syracuse University, and has published eight books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. She was a MacArthur Fellow
and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She lives in Olympia, Washington.

Infinite Things All At Once
Rachel Yoder
A refreshing collection from an Appalachian writer

of coming-of-age stories about young women struggling
with sexuality, religion, power, and family.
The young women in Infinite Things All At Once emerge into adulthood earnest, innocent, and reaching. As they move from farms to cities and from small-
mindedness to enlightenment, they are dazzled by their freedomand, just
as often, violated by it. In quiet, powerful prose, Rachel Yoder renders young
womanhood exactly as it is: nebulous and fleeting, unforgiving and unforgettable.
Rachel Yoder grew up in a Mennonite community in the Appalachian foothills
of eastern Ohio and earned an MFA in Fiction from the University of Arizona
and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Iowa, where she was
an Iowa Arts Fellow. Yoders writing has appeared in the New York Times, the
Chicago Tribune, the Paris Review Daily, and The Sun Magazine. Her work has also
been awarded The Editors Prize in Fiction by The Missouri Review, notable distinctions in Best American Short Stories and Best American Nonrequired Reading,
and as runner-up for the Chicago Tribunes Nelson Algren Award.

Above the Oil Fields
Photographs and Essay by Ayesha Malik

Essay by Marisa Schwartz
Ayesha Malik delivers a personalized account of life within Dhahran, Saudi
Arabia, a gated community originally created as a home for American employees
of the Arabian American Oil Company, now known as Saudi Aramco. Almost
everyone is connected in this small town which houses the worlds wealthiest
company with the worlds largest energy reserves. Maliks photographs raise
conversations about perception and preconceived ideas regarding a home that
is neither fully Saudi nor fully American. Malik shares the surprising warmth,
familiarity, and timelessness of this twenty-t wo and a half square mile place
that so many Aramcons call home.
Ayesha Malik divides her time between New York City and Saudi Arabia working on self-d irected photo projects. Her work has been featured in Time Lightbox,
VICE Magazine, Le Mondes M Magazine, and Offset, amongst others.

Sarah Tulloch: ObjectImage

Photographs by Sarah Tulloch
Foreword by Marjolaine Ryley
Essay by Matthew Hearn
Sarah Tulloch: ObjectImage roots itself in album collections of the artist and others that are linked to the social tradition and history of documenting family.
Through collage, Tulloch maintains a thread between past and future with her
ability to form new connections within the image composition. The work continues to evolve including the use of contemporary newspaper images. Tullochs
use of photomontage allows her to re-focus the media, re-compose the image,
and ultimately re-fi nd and re-purpose the photographic subject.
Sarah Tulloch holds a First Class honors degree from the Bristol School of Art
and a Design and Distinction, Master of Fine Arts from Newcastle University.
She concentrates on a close-range investigation of found photographs as both
objects with specific material qualities and images in themselves. Object Image,
published by Daylight Books, is supported by the Arts Council England. Tulloch
has been exhibited by Plus Arts Projects, the Mayors Parlour, London, Baltic 39,

During a decade of rapid economic growth, American photographer Priscilla

Briggs traveled along the eastern seaboard of China. Impossible is Nothing explores various facets of Chinese society within the context of communism that
engages in capitalism with Chinese characteristics. These photographs examine
constructed realities within China relating to luxury and status, with the West
serving as a model for capitalist consumerism. Portraits, still-life images, and
urban landscapes are woven together to create a lyrical ode to the optimism and
imagination of contemporary China.
Priscilla Briggs is a lens-based artist who investigates global representations
of capitalism and consumerism. Her work has been exhibited internationally,
most recently at the Landskrona Photo Salon in Sweden, the Minneapolis
International Film Festival, the DeVos Museum in Michigan, and many more.

Either Limits or Contradictions

Photographs by Nick Meyer
Foreword by Aaron Schuman
Poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Told in three chapters, Either Limits or Contradictions captures the feelings of
self-d iscovery, enjoyment, and death. Nick Meyer takes the viewer on the ebb
and flow that makes up life. His visual narratives are an attempt to examine and
confront the anxiety and eventuality that, because we all were born, time will
pass, and so will we. Almost as though the camera is an extension of his hand,
Meyers resulting images are candid, honest, and universal.

What Is Left Behind
Stories From Estate Sales
Photographs by Norm Diamond

Essay by Kat Kiernan
Norm Diamond has visited countless estate sales, photographing objects that
evoke sadness, humor, and ironic commentary on our cultural history. The articles defy conventional expectations: a science project from 1939, a century-
old letter from a rejected lover, and a complete collection of Playboy magazines.
Poignant photographs of these possessions reveal clues about otherwise un
knowable people. These items take on a life of their own, both in these photographs and in the idea that they will now move on to new owners.
Norm Diamond is a fine art photographer with a previous career in interventional
radiology. His work has been shown at the Houston Center for Photography, the
Davis Orton Gallery, and the Griffin Museum of Photography. In 2015 he was
named a finalist in the 2015 Photolucida Critical Mass competition, and his
work has been featured on Lenscratch, Slate.com, PDN, and aCurator.

Portsmouth
Collected Saturdays
Photography by Ken D. Ashton

Introduction by Paul Roth
Essay by Kriston Capps
Portsmouth: Collected Saturdays is a volume of images that show the hardship
of deindustrialization, floods, and crime in Portsmouth, Ohio. Ken D. Ashtons
photographs show the other side of Appalachia with its fair share of unsuccessful socio-economic undertakings. Through the acute scope of Portsmouth, Ohio,
Ashton portrays the macro effect of deindustrialization on small-town America.
Ashton investigates the urban landscape, finding signs of depopulation through
abandoned lots, homes, and restaurants. He explores how the influence of urban
landscape affects our thoughts, actions, and imagination.
Ken D. Ashtons photographic work explores urban neighborhoods that have experienced transition as well as communities that have remained intact. For over
fifteen years, Ashton has worked on Megalopolis, a photographic encyclopedia of
communities from Washington, DC to Boston, MA.

Not One Day
Anne Garrta
Translated by Emma Ramadan
An intimate, sensuous exploration of memory and desire, delving into

loves and lusts past, by award-winning Oulipo member Anne Garrta.
Not One Day begins with a maxim: Not one day without a woman. What follows
is an intimate, erotic, and sometimes bitter recounting of loves and lovers past,
breathtakingly written, exploring the interplay between memory, fantasy, and desire. For life is too short to submit to reading poorly written books and sleeping with
women one does not love.
Anne Garrta, author of the groundbreaking novel Sphinx (Deep Vellum, 2015),
is a member of the renowned Oulipo literary group. Not One Day won the Prix
Mdicis in 2002, recognizing Garrta as an author whose fame does not yet
match their talent.

Operation Yellow Star / Black Thursday
Maurice Rajsfus
Translated by Phyllis Aronoff and Mike Mitchell
A damning inquiry of French-Nazi collaboration by an investigative

journalist who survived the largest roundup of Jews in France.
A two-volume book in which Maurice Rajsfus, a French activist and former investigative journalist for Le Monde, shares his research and personal recollections in order to shed new light on Frances role in the Holocaust. In the first
volume, Operation Yellow Star, Rajsfus meticulously analyzes archival documents, demonstrating the extent of police collaboration with the Vichy regime
and how it facilitated the persecution, deportation, and ultimately the death of
hundreds of thousands of Jews. Examining long-unseen arrest records and transcripts, Rajsfus seeks to understand how and why many average French citizens
resisted Nazi occupation while others were willingly complicit. In the second
volume, Black Thursday, Rajsfus recounts his own experiences of July 16,
1942, when he and his family were arrested as part of the Vel dHiv roundup,
the largest ever in France, of 13,000 Jews. While most of those detained during
the two-day sweep eventually died in Auschwitz, the author survived and has
spent the rest of his life grappling with his countrys betrayal. Together, the two
volumes by Rajsfus offer a damning expos of the bureaucracy of genocide, laying bare how cultural bias, political self-interest, and the influence of right-w ing
media led to the implementation of the Yellow Star as a segregationist device and
determined Frances culpability in the Holocaust.
Maurice Rajsfus is the author of thirty books. From 19942012 he created and
circulated Que fait la police, a Cop Watch bulletin detailing human rights
abuses. He lives in Paris with his wife, sons and grandchildren.

Part monograph, part historical analysis, and part feminist critique, this hybrid book examines the art and politics of The Nude in various cultural contexts. Responding to books of canonical Western art that have been pirated and
censored in Iran, artist Pamela Joseph creates a series of paintings that whimsically appropriate the censored versions in order to create entirely new works.
By comparing images of Roman statues, sultry odalisques, their censored
Iranian versions, and Josephs paintings, the rigorous, culturally-measured
analysis of art historian Glenn Harcourt elucidates both cross-c ultural censorship of bodily images and the development of abstraction in art. Historical enlightenment abounds: the censored image of Duchamps Fountain reflects on
controversies from its original display in 1919; Picassos Orientalism leads to
the Iranian censors pixilated color-study, further abstracted by Joseph, but also
blurred out by Fox News. Manets Olympia is unbound yet contained by three
different views of female sexuality, and censored Renaissance paintings echo
Duchamps infamous graffiti on an image of The Mona Lisa.

Censorship in the arts differs from culture to culture and, in most cases, only
causes the audience these censors are attempting to protect to wonder exactly
what is being kept from them and why, resulting in a thought process that can
often be more stimulating than a view of the unaltered work. Pamela Joseph provides a biting and severely critical, while at the same time uniquely humorous
commentary on the futility of censorship in the arts, no matter in what form it is
practiced.

All the Difference
Patricia Horvath
Patricia Horvath examines scoliosis through the lens of family dynamics,

feminism, folk and fairy tales, 1970 pop culture, and romantic love.
Patricia Horvaths transformation from a visibly disabled young woman to someone who, abruptly, passes for able-bodied, reveals cultural and personal tensions surrounding disability and creates an arc that connects imprisonment to
freedom. What transpires is both suffocating and liberating. Horvaths confinement keeps her from being seen, but also cocoons a deeply personal sense of selfhood and relationship.
Horvaths lyric account of her experiences with severe scoliosis sings the connective tissue between her physical disability and her powerful interior. She is
poorly put together, her body leans sharply to the left, she is brittle-boned,
stoop-shouldered, with an (S) shaped spine, and her words flame up spirited and
true. Wry and breathtakingly poignant, this meditative, inspirational memoir
delves into that most invisible, vital structure: identity, whose shaping and dis
figurement makes all the difference in our lives.
This book will particularly appeal to people interested in disability studies,
feminist issues, 1970s popular culture, fairy tales, and survival.
Patricia Horvaths stories and essays have been published widely in literary
journals including Shenandoah, The Massachusetts Review, New Ohio Review,
The Los Angeles Review, and Confrontation. She is the recipient of New York
Foundation for the Arts Fellowships in both fiction and literary nonfiction and
of Bellevue Literary Reviews Goldenberg Prize in Fiction for a story that was accorded a Pushcart Prize Special Mention. She teaches at Framingham State
University in Massachusetts.

Brontez Purnell
Indie artist and punk queen Brontez Purnells long-awaited novel

is an uninhibited exploration of growing up gay in 1980s Alabama.
Brontez is a raw tongue of flame blazing through all the blatant fakery and in
sincere bullshit of todays gay/music/human scene.SF Bay Guardian
Called back to his cramped hometown for his uncles funeral, DeShawn means
to stay for a week. Instead, his time in Alabama stretches out to nine months.
Amidst the unforgiving memories of handsome, doomed neighbors and swel
tering Sunday services, DeShawn ponders family, church, and how the men in
his life always leave. Stumbling down memory lane prompts the question: Who
deserves love?
A new kind of Southern GothicTyler Perry meets Tennessee Williams
Since I Laid My Burden Down traces a queer black mans first encounters with
that tricky word, love, and all of its confusing dimensions. An exploration
into how ones earliest sexual and artistic escapades affect the present-day per
son, Brontez Purnell writes fearlessly and shamelessly about subjects too-often
mired in fear and shame.

Younger Lovers, and founder and choreographer of the Brontez Purnell Dance
Company. He was a guest curator for the Berkeley Art Museums L@TE pro

A decade prior to the Seneca Falls Convention, black and white women joined to
gether at the 1837 Anti-Slavery Convention in the first instance of political orga
nizing by American women, for American women.
United by their determination to reshape a society that told women to ignore
the mechanisms of power, these pioneers converged abolitionism and womens
rights. Incited by holy indignation, they believed it was their God-g iven duty
to challenge both slavery and patriarchy. Although the convention was writ
ten out of history largely for both its religious and interracial character, these
women created a blueprint for an intersectional feminism that was centuries
ahead of its time.
Part historical investigation, part personal memoir, Helen LaKelly Hunt
traces how her research into nineteenth-century organizing led her to become
one of the most significant philanthropists in modern history. Hunts journey to
confront her position of power meant taking control of an oil fortunebeing
deployed on her behalf but without her knowledgeand acknowledging the
Christian faith animating her lifes work.
Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, is a philanthropist, activist, and scholar. She helped
found several organizations, including the Sister Fund, Women Moving Millions,
and the Womens Funding Network. She is the author of Faith and Feminism
and the coauthor of bestsellers including Giving the Love That Heals and Making
Marriage Simple.

Romina Paula
Translated by Jennifer Croft
Emilia parses through the five years since her best friends suicide
in this self-deprecating examination of grief and loss.
Traveling home to rural Patagonia, a young woman grapples with herself as she
makes the journey to scatter the ashes of her friend Andrea. Twenty-one-year-
old Emilia might still be living, but shes jaded by her studies, discontent with her
boyfriend, and apathetic toward the idea of moving on. Despite the admiration
she receives for having relocated to Buenos Aires, in reality, cosmopolitanism
and a career seem like empty scams. She finds her life pathetic.
Once home, Emilia stays with Andreas parents, wearing the dead girls
clothes, sleeping in her bed, and befriending her cat. Her life put on hold,
she loses herself to wondering if what had happenedleaving an ex, leaving
Patagonia, Andrea leaving herhadnt happened.
Both a reverse coming-of-age story and a tangled homecoming tale, this frank
confession to a deceased confidante considers the banality of life against the sud
den changes that accompany death. August is the keen portrait of a young, unsure
generation stagnating in an increasingly globalized Argentina.
Romina Paula is one of the most interesting figures under forty currently active
on the Argentine literary scene: a playwright, novelist, director, and actor. This is
her first book to be translated into English.
Jennifer Croft is a writer, translator, and critic. She is the recipient of Fulbright,
PEN, and National Endowment for the Arts grants, as well as the Michael Henry
Heim Prize.

At Sea
Edited by Terri Gordon-Zolov and Amy Sodaro
This issue of Womens Studies Quarterly sets sail, exploring the sea
as a gendered, racialized, and queered site of tumult and violence.
The high seas are a locus of migrant and refugee crossings, lawlessness, and of en
vironmental destruction. Academics mobilize the motif of at sea on a literal and
figurative level, submerging in its flow of ever-changing political processes. A
place of transformation, in-betweens, and movement, the ocean unites and di

Sonnets
Walter Benjamin
Translated by Carl Skoggard
Forewords by Christian Wollin and Megan Ewing
Did you ever lose someone you loved, forever? Walter Benjamin did,
and wrote eighty sonnets to remember him by.
As the Third Reich advanced on Paris, Walter Benjamin entrusted his un

published writings to George Bataille. Eighty fervent, mystical, lyric sonnets,
produced over ten years in a sustained response to the suicide of his college
friend in protest of the First World War, were among those writings, and were
discovered in Benjamins archives in the 1980s. This first English translation, a
bilingual edition, features extensive context and commentary by the translator,
as well as two forewords: one by German scholar Christian Wollin and one by
American scholar Megan Ewing.
Waking were his glances my sole light
For errant traces and the starlight
Of his eyes the only beam
Bestowed upon my sleeping places
Now such companions are no more
Mute did the mirrors of all Spirit shatter
In these heavens which their glistening laugh
More blessedly transfigured with each morrow
Even when they wept they stood as pools
Themselves to nourish by the fall of heavy drops
Whose fragrance would outlast the shower

And in the fullness of their tears

Would those things speak which yet lacked names
Much as leaves may speak in gardens.

with Benjamins evolving religious and philosophical perspectives in ways both

Steven Alvarez crafts an intricate commingling of English and Spanish,

Poet-scholar Steven Alvarez uses poetic utterance to catalog and enact intersections of Spanish and English in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Codex Mojaodicus collects three novels-i n-verse, all of which mine, mime,
record, and disgorge impressions and dissertations of language as it is uttered,
stuttered, and felt in a variety of tongues and heads. In these theatrical poems,
Alvarez documents a multilingual field, tracing a Xicano genome over and above
the landscapes of America.

Kith
Divya Victor
A complex and moving array of imagistic, arguments-with-history about

skin, postcolonialism, travel, exile, fluids, and cultural materialism.
Kith describes postcolonialist relation from the painful psychohistorical perspec

tive of a hybrid, in multiple exiles. Divya Victor reaps the pain, reams the pain,
approaches the painful material from striated vantages, using discrete meth
odologies of extraction. This is not a pretty poetry of nostalgia for bittersweet
pungencies, no invitation to savor bemusing exoticisms; this poetry invites disas
sociation from that which is no longer to be borne.

Nathalie Quintane
Translated by Cynthia Hogue and by Sylvain Gallais
Nathalie Quintane circumvents the biographical to
explore this well-known story from inside Joans experience.
In this retelling of Joan of Arcs trials and tribulations, Nathalie Quintane

scuffs up the surface of language to get at paradoxes and nuances that reveal the
two parts of Joans life: warrior on the surface and austere virgin underneath.
Quintane works this into a metaphor for contemporary feminist self-performance
that subverts dominant narratives, limiting the image of woman as pawn to power.

Anne Bonny
The Infamous Female Pirate
Phillip Thomas Tucker
The Golden Age of Piracys most famous female pirate, shrouded
in myth for centuries, is revealed here in her first biography.
The story of most famous female pirate in history provides a remarkable personal
odyssey from a time when women were almost powerless and at the lowest level
of the social order on both sides of the Atlantic. This new biographical work fills
considerable gaps in Anne Bonnys life beyond her mythology to rescue an actual
person for posterity.
After turning her back on everything she knew growing up in South Carolina
to find a sense of personal freedom, Anne Bonny sailed the Caribbeans pristine
waters during the Golden Age of Piracy in the early eighteenth century. Few accurate records exist about these law-breakers, whose lifestyles called for hanging.
Fortunately, Anne Bonny was a notable exception to the rule, as she was caught
off the Jamaican coast and tried by a court of law, whose records have fortunately survived.
So, who was the real Anne Bonny? A heartless prostitute, a bloodthirsty psycho
pathic, or a compassionate woman of faith and courage? Such a fundamental
question has not been adequately answered by historians for 300 years. It is now
time to take a fresh look at the life of Anne Bonny to present a corrective view
into not only her story but also the seldom explored, but incredibly rich, field of
womens history.
The Anne Bonny mythology is today popularly told in Starz channels Black
Sails and the video game Assassins Creed.

Everybodys favorite cute little city on the West Coast

just got a whole lot darker.
The City of Roses, as natives of Portland, Oregon like to call it, has a long history of crime and corruption, starting as far back as the post-Civil War frontier days, and then leading into the mobster-infused decades of the twentieth
century when prohibition, prostitution, gambling, and hard drugs besieged the
town.
The so-called Great Portland Vice Scandal of 195657 spilled into national
politics, with hearings before the Senate Rackets Committee. When the 70s
rolled around, members of the polices narcotics squad were caught red-handed
wearing expensive leather jackets and driving brand new motorcycles to work.
This Northwest city, known best today for its punk rock and hipster comedies
like Portlandia, was once overrun with corruption and foul play.

Revival
Resurrecting the Process Church of the Final Judgement
William Sims Bainbridge
Employed by the government to infiltrate cults, an author believes that

the controversial and disbanded Process Church should be resurrected.
Who is seeking to destroy all esoteric religious movements, starting with The
Process Church of the Final Judgement? The Process Church was the most fascinating innovative cult of the 1960s, then vanished for four decades before being
virtually reborn by the use of information technology. Revival seems to be fiction, yet its based on fact and explores the implications of the internet, and the
disintegration of conventional faiths. As reported in the authors anthropologi
cal study, Satans Power, the Process was polytheistic, asserting the union of
Jehovah with Lucifer, and the unity of Christ with Satan. Each Process member was a fragment of a god, with a corresponding personality trait: Jehovah =
Discipline, Lucifer = Liberation, Christ = Unification, Satan = Separation.
Before the first page of this book, the computer magician who resurrected the
Process Church was murdered. Was this man Christ?
Christianity may be the opposite of what it seems, a Satanic plot that subconsciously preaches, Release the fiend that lies dormant within you, for he is
strong and ruthless, and his power is far beyond the bounds of human frailty.
Come forth in your savage might, rampant with the lust of battle, tense and
quivering with the urge to strike, to smash, to split asunder all that seek to detain you. Can the surviving Processeans achieve the hopes expressed in their
blessing: May the life-g iving water of the Lord Christ and the purifying fire of
the Lord Satan bring the presence of love and unity into this assembly?

The Islamic finance industry will be worth $3.4 trillion in 2018. Clearly, it is
nothing to sneeze at. Yet, what is it, exactly? Islamic finance refers to the means
used by financial institutions in the 1.7 billion-strong Islamic world to raise capi
tal. By definition, it is compliant with shariah law, even as it interacts with conventional, secular financial systems.
In this groundbreaking book, Akhtar Mohammed explains the principles of
Islamic finance and explores its function in the international marketplace. He
argues that it holds powerful lessons for Western secular financial institutions,
provided the Islamic in Islamic finance can be regarded without suspicion
and with an open mind.
What does Islamic finance have to teach in relation to the worldwide financial crisis and its aftermath, globalization, ethical investment practices, the
growth of the Global South, and social movements such as Occupy Wall Street?
Mohammed illuminates its successes, failures, and future growth in secular
terms, and in clear, accessible language intended for non-specialists as well as
expertsregardless of their religious beliefs.
Akhtar Mohammed was born in Vancouver and obtained a BA in Political
Science from the University of British Columbia and an LLB at the School of
Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. He is currently
pursuing an LLM at York University, Toronto. In 2013 he founded the Islamic

Emma Donoghue
All women together ought to let flowers fall on the tomb of Aphra Behn . . . For it
was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.Virginia Woolf
Aphra Behn: A Secret Life tells the story of one of the most extraordinary writers
in English literature. Behn, a combination of secrecy and display, was a spy in the
Netherlands and the Americas, and the first woman to earn her living by her pen.
The most prolific dramatist of her age, she was also an innovative novelist, translator, lyrical and erotic poet, and a political propagandist for the monarch. Her
work expresses a frank sexuality and addresses subjects such as impotence, orgasm, and bisexuality.
Revised with a new introduction, this biography of the groundbreaking writer
is set in conflict-ridden England, Europe, and the mismanaged slave colony of
Surinam. Aphra Behn continues to be emblematic of the Restoration period, a
time of creativity, license, masks and self-fashioning.

literature, and science of snow and discusses why snow is so powerful for our
imagination.
The book is illustrated with the earliest photographs ever taken of snowflakes,
by William Bentley, the American photographer, in the 1890s.
Written by a highly regarded author, this book is a unique and beautiful gift
book that will appeal to anyone interested in the strange appeal of snow.

The Life of Jesus is neither a historical fiction nor a devout retelling of the mission

Before he embarked on his massive history of the novel, Steven Moore was
best known as a tireless promoter of innovative fiction, mostly by way of hundreds of book reviews published from the late 1970s onward. Virtually all have
been gathered for this collection, which offers a panoramic view of modern fiction, ranging from well-known authors like John Barth and Thomas Pynchon
to lesser-known but deserving ones, many published by small presses. Moore
also reviews dozens of critical studies of this fiction, and takes some side trips
into rock music and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The second half of the book reprints Moores best essays. Several deal with
novelist William Gaddison whom Moore is considered the leading authority
and other writers associated with him (Chandler Brossard, Alan Ansen, David
Markson, and Sheri Martinelli), all of which have been updated for this collection. Others champion such writers as Alexander Theroux, Brigid Brophy,
Edward Dahlberg, Carole Maso, W. M. Spackman, and Rikki Ducornet. Two essays deal with the late David Foster Wallace, whom Moore knew, and others treat
such matters as book reviewing, postmodernism, the Beat movement, maximalism, gay literature, punctuation, nympholepsy, and the history of the novel.
Steven Moore (PhD Rutgers, 1988) is the author and editor of several books on
William Gaddis, as well as of The Novel: An Alternative History (2010, 2013). From
1988 to 1996 he was managing editor of the Review of Contemporary Fiction and
Dalkey Archive Press.

Night Thoughts
Wallace Shawn
Writer and actor Wallace Shawns probing, honest, and
self-critical take on civilization and its discontents.
Praise for Essays:

Lovely, hilarious, and seriously thought-provoking.Toni Morrison
Full of what you might call conversation starters: tricky propositions about morality, politics, and art as a force for change (or not). . . . Its a treat to hear [Shawn]
speak his curious mind.O Magazine
As an actor and playwright, Shawns eccentric style is like no one elses. And in
his collection of essays . . . that inimitable inquiring voice can be heard loud and
clear.Los Angeles Times
Fearless!GQ , Best Books of 2009
In this challenging manifesto, Wallace Shawn broods about questions of justice,
inequality, blame, revenge, and moralityand the possibility that a better world
could be created. I do believe its possiblebarely possible obviously, he writes,
that the mistake of civilization might ultimately be fixed using civilizations own
discoveries and fruits . . . and that a human society could be created in which no
one was subjugated and everyone was treated with respect because we all actually
respected each other. Each of us probably has his own picture of what such a society wouldlook like. In my picture we all would work part of each month in the
sewers and for part of each month wed lounge on pillows writing poetry on perfumed paper of many different colors.
Wallace Shawn is an Obie Awardwinning playwright and a noted stage and
screen actor (Star Trek, Gossip Girl, The Princess Bride, Toy Story). He cowrote the
film My Dinner with Andre and is the author of multiple plays. His book Essays was
published by Haymarket Books (2009).

Democracy hasnt eradicated caste, writes Arundhati Roy. It has entrenched

and modernized it.
Roy insists we must examine the influence of Gandhi in shaping what India
ultimately became: independent of British rule, globally powerful, and marked to
this day by the caste system.
For more than half a centurythroughout his adult life[Gandhis] pronouncements on the inherent qualities of black Africans, untouchables, and the
laboring classes remained consistently insulting, she writes. His refusal to
allow working-class people and untouchables to create their own political organizations and elect their own representatives remained consistent too.
In The Doctor and the Saint, Roy reveals some uncomfortable, even controversial, truths about the political thought and career of Indias most revered figure. By exploring her debates with the Dalit leader, B.R. Ambedkar, author of the
Annihilation of Caste, Roy makes clear that what millions of Indians need is not
merely formal democracy, but liberation from the oppression, shame, and poverty imposed on them by Indias archaic caste system.
Arundhati Roy studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now lives. She is
the author of the novel The God of Small Things, for which she received the 1997
Man Booker Prize. The novel has been translated into forty languages worldwide.
She has written several nonfiction books, including Field Notes on Democracy:
Listening to Grasshoppers and Capitalism: A Ghost Story.

A Beautiful Ghetto
Devin Allen
Introduction by D. Watkins
Devin Allen asks us to see beyond the the violence

and poverty that all too often defines the ghetto.
On April 18th, 2015, Baltimore erupted into mass protests in response to the brutal murder of Freddie Gray by the citys police. Suddenly, the eyes of the world
turned to the uprising. In nearly one hundred stunning black and white photographs, Devin Allen documents the uprising, his city, and the people who live
there, revealing a world of love, courage, struggle, and hope. Each image reveals
the personality, beauty and spirit of Baltimore, as his camera complicates ghetto
stereotypes. We find smiles where one might least expect them, hope doing battle
against a system that sows desperation and fear, and above all, we find resistance
to the unrelenting pressures of racism in twenty-first century America.

Outreach to photography and Black studies
communities
Allens work demonstrates a connection between resistance as a daily activity,

a way of life in the ghetto, and resistance as a political act, as played out in the
streets last spring. He documents resistance without judgment, without asking
the usual questions that outsiders might: Is it justified? Is it effective? Is it legal?
Resistance is represented not as a tactic, but as a fundamental aspect of life.

Assata Taught Me
State Violence, Mass Incarceration,
and the Movement for Black Lives
Donna Murch
Incisive analysis of the history and politics of the
Black liberation struggle by radical scholar Donna Murch.
Black Panther and Cuban exile Assata Shakur has inspired multiple generations
of radical protest, including our contemporary Black Lives Matter movement.
Drawing its title from one of Americas foremost revolutionaries, this collection
of thought-provoking essays by award-w inning scholar Donna Murch explores
how social protest is challenging our current system of state violence and mass
incarceration.
Murch exposes the devastating consequences of overlapping punishment
campaigns against gangs, drugs, and crime on poor and working-class populations of color. Through largely hidden channels, it is these punitive campaigns,
Murch says, that generate enormous revenues for the state. Under such difficult
conditions, organized resistance to the advancing tide of state violence and incarceration has proved challenging.
This timely and urgent book shows how a youth-led political movement has
emerged since the killing of Trayvon Martin that challenges the bi-partisan consensus on punishment and looks to the future through a redistributive, queer, and
feminist lens. Murch frames the Black Lives Matter movement in relation to earlier struggles for Black Liberation, while excavating the origins of mass incarceration and the political economy that drives it.
Assata Taught Me offers a fresh and much-needed historical perspective on the
fifty years since the founding of the Black Panther Party, during which the worlds
largest police state has emerged.
Donna Murch is an Associate Professor of History at Rutgers, the State
University of New Jersey. She is the author of Living for the City: Migration,
Education, and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California.

A Peoples History of Chicago
Kevin Coval
Foreword by Chance the Rapper
Named Best Chicago Poet by The Chicago Reader, Kevin Coval

channels Howard Zinn in celebrating the Windy Citys hidden history.
Known variously as the Windy City, the City of Big Shoulders, or Chi-R aq,
Chicago is one of the most widely celebrated, routinely demonized, and thoroughly contested cities in the world.
Chicago is the city of Gwendolyn Brooks and Chief Keef, Al Capone and
Richard Wright, Lucy Parsons and Nelson Algren, Harold Washington and Studs
Terkel. It is the city of Fred Hampton, house music, and the Haymarket Martyrs.
Writing in the tradition of Howard Zinn, Kevin Covals A Peoples History of
Chicago celebrates the history of this great American city from the perspective of those on the margins, whose stories often go untold. These seventy-seven
poems (for the citys seventy-seven neighborhoods) honor the everyday lives
and enduring resistance of the citys workers, poor people, and people of color,
whose cultural and political revolutions continue to shape the social landscape.

Aja Monet
Powerful meditations on motherhood, sisterhood, spirituality, solidarity,

displacement, gentrification, racism, and sexism.
Praise for Aja Monet:

[Monet] is the true definition of an artist.Harry Belafonte
In Paris, she walked out onto the stage, opened her mouth, and spoke. At the
first utterance I heard that rare something that said this is special and knew immediately that Aja Monet was one of the Ones who will mark the sound of the
ages. She brings depth of voice to the voiceless, and through her we sing a powerful song.Carrie Mae Weems
Textured with the sights and sounds of growing up in East New York in the
nineties, to school on the South Side of Chicago, all the way to the olive groves
of Palestine, My Mother Is a Freedom Fighter is Aja Monets ode to mothers,
daughters, and sisterst he tiny gods who fight to change the world. Complemented by striking cover art from Carrie Mae Weems, these stunning poems
tackle racism, sexism, genocide, displacement, heartbreak, and grief, but also
love, motherhood, spirituality, and Black joy.
From For Fahd:
I am 27 and have never killed a man
but I know the face of death as if heirloom
my country memorizes murder as lullaby
Of Cuban-Jamaican descent, Aja Monet is an internationally established poet,
performer, singer, songwriter, educator, and human rights advocate. Monet is
also the youngest person to win the legendary Nuyorican Poets Caf Grand Slam
title.

When the State of Israel claims to represent all Jewish people, defenders of
Israeli policy redefine antisemitism to include criticism of Israel. Antisemitism
is harmful and real in our society. What must also be addressed is how the deployment of false charges of antisemitism or redefining antisemitism can suppress the global progressive fight for justice.
Jewish Voice for Peace has curated a collection of essays that provides a
diversity of perspectives and standpoints. Each contribution explores critical questions concerning uses and abuses of antisemitism in the twenty-fi rst-
century, focusing on the intersection between anti-Semitism, accusations of
anti-Semitism, and Palestinian human rights activism.
This anthology provides a much-needed tool for Palestinian solidarity activists and teachers, as well as Jewish communities. Featuring contributions from
Omar Barghouti, Judith Butler, and Rebecca Vilkomerson, as well as activists,
academics, students, and cultural workers, On Antisemitism includes the voices of
Palestinian students and activists, and Jews that are often marginalized in mainstream discussions of anti-Semitism, including Jews of Color and Sephardi/
Mizrahi Jews.
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a national, grassroots organization inspired
by Jewish tradition to work for a just and lasting peace according to principles
of human rights, equality, and international law for all the people of Israel and
Palestine. JVP has over 200,000 online supporters, over sixty chapters, a youth
wing, a Rabbinic Council, an Artist Council, an Academic Advisory Council,
and an Advisory Board made up of leading US intellectuals and artists.

History of the Russian Revolution
Centenary Edition
Leon Trotsky
Translated by Max Eastman
An unparalleled account of one of the most pivotal
and hotly debated events in world history.
The greatest history of an event that I know.C . L. R. James

As an account of a revolution, given by one of its chief actors, it stands unique in
world literature.Isaac Deutscher
I would routinely smuggle copies of Trotskys History of the Russian Revolution
into the USSRso our colleagues could know a little about their own political
beginnings.Carl Sagan
Regarded by many as among the most powerful works of history ever written,
History of the Russian Revolution offers an unparalleled account of one of the most
pivotal and hotly debated events of the last century. This book, released to coincide with the one hundredth anniversary of the Russian Revolution reveals, from
the perspective of one of its central actors, the revolutions profoundly democratic,
emancipatory character.
Originally published in three parts, Leon Trotskys masterpiece is collected
here in a single volume. It serves as the most vital and inspiring record of the
Russian Revolution to date.
Leon Trotsky was a key leader of the Russian Revolution. Forced into exile in
1928, Trotsky devoted the rest of his life to fighting the degeneration of the
revolution and rise of a new dictatorial regime. Vilified and isolated, he waged
an uncompromising battle with the Stalinist bureaucracy, defending the revolutionary and internationalist principles upon which the revolution was based.
In 1940, he was murdered by an agent of the Stalinist regime.

sense of humor, an ability to walk all day, and a desire to talk to complete strangers on the way. He has left London only once (to go to the beach with his mother),
is obsessed by Hollywood stars, has five sugars in his tea, wanted to be a ballet
dancer (but ended up making suitcases), and has never had a romantic relationship. Although light in touch and humorous in tone, this book deals with a range
of subjects, from relationships, family, and health to cinema, technology, and
travel, in a way that is a thought-provoking and ultimately moving account of the
modern world. The first and most popular of the Hoxton Mini Press titles.
Martin Usborne is an award-w inning photographer and writer who lives and
works in London. His work has been seen in galleries, magazines, books, and
museums around the world. He has published five books and is the founder of

Every Sunday a small army of amateur footballers, often hung-over and smoking cigarettes, descend on Hackney Marshes, East London for a game of beloved footie. Known as the spiritual home of amateur football(this is
where David Beckham first played)the marshes consist of some eighty pitches
where more than fifty matches are played each week from September until April.
Photographer Chris Baker, a keen amateur footballer himself, spent three seasons
documenting this ritual of sports camaraderie.
Players turn up late, discussing last nights antics or conquests, before playing and shouting at the ref and then eating oranges at half time. There are occasional brawls, many laughs, and very occasionally some good football before
post-match pints are followed by a return home to the missus. This is Sunday
League football at its best. Bakers photographs are coupled with a selection of
quotes and stories from the players that are often hilarious and always revealing.
Chris Baker is documentary and portrait photographer from London with a long
interest in the amateur game. After one too many injuries he decided to get on the
safe side of the pitch and document his favorite sport from the sidelines.

After the Flower Market
Johanna Neurath
These surprisingly beautiful images of growth and decay are like a meditation,
an invitation to consider transience and joy.Harpers Bazaar
Photographer Johanna Neurath visited Columbia Road Market in London
nearly every Sunday for ten years. Rather than depicting the obvious prettiness
of people and their flowers Neurath turns her attention to the colors and patterns left behind as the market clears out. This book fuses still life and street
photography and reminds us that beauty is often to be found in the most un
expected places.

rolls of color film to photograph drivers waiting in traffic in and around East
London. The images appear mundane but have aged like a fine wine: the cars, colors, haircuts, clothes, and expressions (often of boredom or anger and always seen
through an open windowthere was no air conditioning then!) capture a particular mood from Thatchers Britain.

Ash Falls
Warren Read
Ash Falls tells the story of one town

connected by a single act of horrific violence.
A routine prisoner transfer on a rural highway ends with the bus upside-down in
aravine, the driver dead of a heart attack, and convicted murderer Ernie Luntz
on the loose, his eyes fixed on the mountain range in the distance, over which
lies his hometown of Ash Falls.
Set in a moss-d raped, Pacific Northwest mountain town, Ash Falls is the
story of a closely connected community both held together and torn apart by
one mans single act of horrific violence. As the residents of Ash Fallswhich
include Ernies ex-w ife and teenage sonwait on edge, wondering if and when
Ernie Luntz will reappear, they come to discover that they are held prisoner
not by the killer in the woods outside their town, but by the chains of their own
creation.
A tension-fi lled, multi-character exploration of collapsed relationships, carefully guarded secrets, and the psychological strain of living in a place that is at
once both idyllic and crippling, Ash Falls is a picturesque and haunting novel that
belongs beside the work of such classic contemporary American writers as Kent
Haruf, Leif Enger, Smith Henderson, and Ron Carlson.
Warren Read is the author of a 2008 memoir, The Lyncher in Me (Borealis
Books), about his discovery that his great-g randfather had incited a lynching in

In the mid-1990s an American teenager, named Lao K in Chinese, stands on

Coal Hill, a park in Beijing, with a loop of rope in her hand. Will she assist her
Chinese homestay mother, Li-M ing, who is dying of cancer, in ending her life,
or will she choose another path? Twenty years later, Lao K receives a book written by Li-M ing called Empire of Glass, a narrative that chronicles the lives of
Li-M ing and her husband, Wang, in pre and post-revolutionary China over the
last half of the twentieth century. Lao K begins translating the story, which becomes the novel we are reading. But, as translator, how can Lao K separate fact
from fiction, and what will her role be in the books final chapter?
A grand, experimental epicL ao Ks story is told in footnotes that run
throughout the bookthat chronicles the seismic changes in China over the
last half century through the lens of one familys experiences, Empire of Glass
is an investigation into the workings of human memory and the veracity of oral

Food Voices
Stories from the People Who Feed Us
Andrianna Natsoulas
Introduces the concept of food sovereignty and highlights the farmers

and fishermen pursuing this movement to change our food system.
Food Voices collects the insights and wisdom of the activists who are fighting
for a more just and sustainable food system. An invaluable work.R aj Patel,
author of the New York Times bestseller Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle
for the World Food System
Food Sovereignty is the right of people to determine their own food and agriculture systems. This worldwide movement promotes community-based agriculture and fishing, local control over food policies, protection of biodiversity
and native seeds, land reform, and access to the sea. Food sovereignty takes different forms, and is described in many ways. Organic farmers may call it sustainable agriculture; community supported fisheries may call it food justice; urban
farmers may call it food security. Food Sovereignty is a system that combines
all these approaches, in the process offering an alternative to the industrial food
system that is destroying local communities all over the planet.
Food Voices: Stories From the People Who Feed Us highlights the farmers and
fishermen who are tirelessly working to strengthen and enhance the global movement towards food sovereignty. From the dairy farmers of Wisconsin, to the
salmon trollers of Alaska, to the clam collectors of Ecuador, to the urban farmers
of New York State, to the fishermen of Haiti, Food Voices highlights the men and
women who are fighting with their sweat and hand, trying to createor actually re-createa food system that values quality over quantity, and communities and the environment over the corporate bottom line.
Andrianna Natsoulas has implemented and created programs at organizations including Greenpeace, Public Citizen, and the Northwest Atlantic Marine
Alliance. She has also coordinated with the global food sovereignty movements
and has served on national and international boards and steering committees to
protect fishing rights, fight trade agreements, and build alliances. She is currently
Executive Director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association.

Photographs by Peter Gowland
The first comprehensive publication of Peter Gowlands lifes work of

glamor and pin-up photographs, on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
Peter Gowland (19162010) started taking glamor and pin-up photographs of

young woman in and around Los Angeles in 1946. In 1954, The New York Times
called him Americas No. 1 Pin-up Photographer and later situated his pictures
someplace between titillation and art.
Peter Gowland found his models on Hollywood film sets and at agencies or
beauty contests. He posed and photographed them in his studio or on the beaches
from Los Angeles to Malibu, thus contributing significantly to the myth of
California as a perpetually sunny postwar paradise.
Peter Gowlands Girls presents some 180 works selected from the photographers estate, which comprises tens of thousands of superb prints and slides, including the most sensational, most elegant, and most daring pictures from his
unparalleled career as a pin-up photographer. The book displays his portraits
of stars like Joan Collins and Jayne Mansfield, his work for Playboy and Rolling
Stone, and his pictures for innumerable calendars and magazines from the 1940s
to the 1970s. The pictures in Peter Gowlands Girls are a snapshot of days past
but have remained stunningly ageless all the same.

Witness to Beauty
Photographs and text by Sage Sohier
Essay by Marvin Heiferman
Both funny and moving, this book addresses changing realities between genera
tions through a visually captivating life of privilege. Images of Sage Sohiers
mother in her youth, posing as a model for renowned fashion photographers such
as Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, provide a poignant contrast with Sohiers
photographs of her mother as time passes, even though she defies expectations and achieves a quality of timeless perfection. Sohiers work is in many important collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the
Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Where the Children Sleep
Text and photographs by Magnus Wennman;
Text by Carina Bergfeldt, Jan Broman,
Per Broman, and Erik Wiman
A rare and personal glimpse into the living conditions of
the most vulnerable within the refugee population: the children.
One is missing his bed. Another, remembering her doll with the dark eyes. A
third is dreaming himself back to a time when his pillow was not an enemy. The
war in Syria has continued for five years and more than two million children
are fleeing it, within and outside of the countrys borders. They have left their
friends, their homes, and their beds behind. A few of these children offered to
show where they sleep now, when everything that once was no longer exists.
Magnus Wennman, winner of three World Press Photo Awards and fourfold
winner of Swedens Photographer of the Year Award, has met refugees in countless refugee camps and on their journeys through Europe. The story of when
the night comes is a living narrative with no given ending. The traveling exhibition Where the Children Sleep is a cooperation between photographer Magnus
Wennman, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Fotografiska (The Swedish
Museum of Photography), and the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

LARP
Text and photographs by Boris Leist
Photographs capturing the most fantastic characters

from the worldwide Live Action Role Playing community.
Warriors of Chaos, orcs, dwarfs, gunfighters, streetwalkers, zombies, mutants,

Soldiers of the Apocalypse, and vampiresin his photobook LARP, the
Dsseldorf-based photographer Boris Leist transports us into the world of
Live Action Role Playing. The players in this book create characters, which, ideally, have the power to blend out the modern world and ones own social surroundings. Liberated from customary structures, rules, and conditions, they
immerse themselves and move about in an alien world. The integration of facets
of their own real personalities often plays a great role and ensures that many characters are highly authentic. Several characters accompany the players for many
years and thus co-evolve together.
After nearly four years, the photographer describes his work on this project
as an impressive journey through time and space. The photographs give each
character the space he or she needs to develop. The fantasy and creativity of the
players is the prime focus here, and the reader is invited to embark on an intensive, fantastical, and at times monstrous journey.

Film stills represent both visual traces of film and their own type of photographic
image. They are taken on set during filming by specially commissioned photographers in accordance with a complicated and elaborate procedure, re-staging film
scenes specifically for the still camera, transforming film from a moving to a static
medium. This book turns the spotlight on this hybrid genre in a comprehensive
presentation. Conventionally (mis)understood as mere references to the film, reflecting the cinematographers or the directors view, here film stills are explored
as an autonomous photographic genre, requiring to be considered independently
from the film itself.

Rudi Weissenstein (19101992) was the most prominent chronicler of everyday life in the young state of Israel and his photographs are essential to understanding the countrys social history. Primarily taken between the 1930s and the
1970s, Weissensteins photographs capture a multifaceted Israel during the early
years of its formation. After taking over Pri-Or PhotoHouse in Tel Aviv in 1940
he developed it into a renowned cultural institution and created the largest private photo archive in Israel, containing more than one million negatives. It is
now run by Weissensteins grandson Ben Peter, one of the editors of this book.

and archive the images and sounds of the melting glaciers as they disappeared
before her eyes. The result of these months of work was over 300 audio recordings and thousands of black and white photographs. The final selection of images transcends the subject to portray, in an abstract manner, the elements of this

The life of an archetypal American family

in Mississippi: contradictions of violence
and tenderness.
Award-w inning photographer Phyllis Dooney and critically acclaimed novelist Jardine Libaire introduce you to the Browns, an archetypal American family in Mississippi. Led by their openly gay daughter Halea, they dream out loud
while fighting the silent undertow of poverty and recurring domestic narratives.
Greenville represents the American boom town left behind in the wake of a
changing global economy. Intoxicated by the Delta air, Southerners say gravity
is stronger here, binding them to this city of contradictions, where love for a gay
daughter and a belief in traditional Christianity can exist in one mother. This
book is less a story than a consciousness.

Muhammad Isa Waley
The version of Rumi that has become known as

the best-selling poet in North America is not a true one.
This newly translated anthology of Rumis poetry, with accompanying com

The time has come to reveal more of Rumito challenge the seriously in
accurate portrayal of a new age guru who seemingly embraced, far ahead of his
time, some of the heresies and vices most disliked in traditional Islam.
This brilliant work, through careful selections from his work and accom
panying commentaries, will bring readers closer to his poetrys true, tradi
tional meaning and the man himself, and his position as a great Islamic scholar,
teacher, and saint. Perhaps Rumi himself said it best:
Everyone has, in their view, become my close friend
but they have not sought out the secrets within me.

Filled with danger, drugs, and abrasive music, My Riot is the definitive insider
account of the volatile New York hardcore scene of the early 1980s. With Roger
Miret as front man, legendary band Agnostic Fronts focused fury and aggression defined the times and continues to resonate today.
Born in Cuba, Roger Miret fled with his family to the US to escape the Castro
regime. Through vivid language and graphic details, Miret recounts growing up
in a strange new land with a tyrannical, abusive stepfather and the roles that poverty and violence played in shaping the toughness that became critical to his survival. During his teen years, he found himself squatting in abandoned buildings
with other runaways and victims of similar childhood trauma. Soon he became a respected and feared kingpin of the scene, and a protector of its misfits and outcasts.
Mirets gripping memoir is both a testament to the perils of growing up too
young, too fast, and finding redemption through sheer strength, perseverance,
and courage.
Roger Miret is the godfather of the New York hardcore scene. He joined Agnostic
Front in 1982.
Jon Wiederhorn is the co-author of Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History

Countless dogs have risked or sacrificed their lives to protect the people they
care for. Their intelligence, devotion, and courage defies belief. Mans Best Friends
shines a spotlight on soldier and service dogs, who protect and defend, often
against great odds and at great peril, as well as the furry family members who
would do anything to save the people they love in moments of crisis.
These are inspiring and captivating stories of canine bravery, heroism, and
loyalty from around the world: from a military dog that discovered a German
spy during World War I, to a guide dog that led a blind man to safety in the
World Trade Center an hour after the attack on September 11, to an Australian
cattle dog that rescued an eighty-five-year-old Floridian woman from an alligator attack, to a yellow lab that learned how to use an ATM on behalf of a disabled
veteran.
From daring rescue attempts to simple acts of kindness, Mans Best Friends
celebrates and reaffirms the unbreakable bond between Man and his Best Friend
through these remarkably told and beautifully moving stories.

A Memoir of Exile and Return
Andrew Potok
A blind artist returns to claim his familys Krakw property,

recalling earlier trauma and betrayal and encountering
virulent Polish anti-Semitism.
Potok is blind but he makes us see not only the pre-World War II landscape
from which he and his family fled, but also how and why and at what price.
Jay Neugeboren, author of Max Baer and the Star of David and Imagining Robert
Potok explores the long reach of both his familys 1939 escape from Poland
and his own blindness in this thoughtful and elegant memoir.Elinor Langer,
author of Josephine Herbst and A Hundred Little Hitlers
When Andrew Potok was eight he fled Warsaw with his family, who left their
home and business to escape the invading Nazis. The family made it to America,
but Andrews memories of violence, Jew hatred, and betrayalincluding that
of his fathererupted into nightmares and eventually formed the backdrop
of his rich, though at times turbulent, life as an artist and writer. When, late in
Andrews life, a Polish lawyer offers to help him reclaim property in Krakw that
was wrongfully inherited by a relative, he and his wife revisit Poland and experience its still-v irulent anti-Semitism. The visit awakens long-dormant memories
and provokes deep reflections on the nature of evil. The ongoing lawsuit becomes
emblematic of the books central theme: There can be no closure for survivors of
the Holocaustno justice for either victims or perpetrators, no compensation,
and no forgiveness.
Andrew Potok was a successful visual artist until he went blind in his forties.
He then turned to writing and published Ordinary Daylight, Portrait of An Artist
Going Blind, My Life With Goya, and A Matter of Dignity. He lives in Vermont.

Married university professors and authors Manfred Steger (Gandhis Dilemma:

The Equality Effect
Danny Dorling
Greater economic equality is beneficial to all people

in all societies, for the rich, the poor, and the rest.
The Equality Effect is almost magical. In more equal countries, human beings are
generally happier and healthier and there is less crime, more creativity, and higher
educational attainment. Danny Dorling delivers the evidence that is now so overwhelming that it should be changing politics and society all over the world.
For the past four decades, many countries, including the US and the UK, have
chosen the path to greater inequality on the assumption that there is no alternative. Yet even under globalization, other nations continue to take a different road.
The time will come when The Equality Effect will be as readily accepted as women
voting or former colonies gaining independencea nd it will come very soon.
From one of the worlds top social scientists comes a compelling argument
for public policy to prioritize equality, fully-evidenced with statistics and sprinkled with black and white illustrations. Most importantly, he demonstrates where
greater equality is currently to be found, and how we can set The Equality Effect in
motion everywhere.
Danny Dorling is a social geographer and the Halford Mackinder Professor of
Geography at the University of Oxford. His work concerns issues of housing,
health, employment, education, and poverty. He has written extensively about
the widening gap between rich and poor and his work regularly appears in the
media. He is author The No-Nonsense Guide to Equality, The Atlas of the Real
World, Unequal Health, Inequality and the 1%, and Injustice: Why Social Inequalities

drawing on lessons from history to advocate degrowth,
democracy, and eco-socialism.
A major contribution to changing the parameters of political debate. It helps

Financial collapse and crisis; disgust at bankers greed; the devastating effects
of yawning inequality: all these and more have led to widespread dissatisfaction and disenchantment with capitalism. People are crying out for an alternative but are continually told that one does not exist.
Richard Swift examines the past shortcomings and present health of not one
but many other paths to changing the world, including socialism, social democracy, anarchism, ecology, and degrowth.
In this fully updated new edition he argues that our current centralized but
beleaguered thin democracy is vulnerable to corruption by big money and by
crude populism and patriotism. A sane alternative is based on a democratically
controlled commonwealth, and a thick democracy populated with many nodes
of popular power rooted in both the economy and civil society.
Combining the practical with the visionary, he shows that finding alternatives to capitalism is no longer an academic issue for the leftit is an urgent
planetary necessity.
Richard Swift is a journalist and activist who works in print and radio. He was for
more than two decades an editor of New Internationalist Magazine. He has written a number of books on themes as diverse as mosquitoes and street gangs. His
current interests include forms of radical democracy and ecological degrowth
alternatives.

It is 1987, two years after Live Aid, and PR expert Adrian Burles is working with
charity organization Africa Assist. Adrian has a big idea that he thinks will keep
Ethiopian hunger in the headlines and touch heartstrings (and purse strings) of
people in the West.
Aided by Anne Chaffey, an experienced nurse who has worked at the famine frontline for many years, he locates a young, malnourished Afar man called
Mujtabaa wandering alone in the desert and flies him back to London.
The worlds media are then invited to witness a skeletal Mujtabaa making
a week-long walk from Heathrow to a rally in Trafalgar Square. In fundraising
terms, this is a great successbut the ethics of the exercise, the human impact
on all concerned, and the ultimate result are all profoundly questionable.
The Walk is a provocative and unsettling novel about the morality of charity,
the media, and public relations. Situated over the course of one single week, it
explores how far you can go to prick the public conscience.
Peter Barry was born in England, brought up in Scotland, and now lives in
Australia. He is the author of two other novels, I Hate Martin Amis Et Al and
We All Fall Down, and has had many short stories published in literary journals.

We all want to be happy. Yet as we consume ever more in a frantic bid for happiness, global warming worsens.
Alarmed by drastic changes now occurring in the Earths climate systems,
the author, a climate scientist and suburban father of two, embarked on a journey to change his life and the world. He began by bicycling, growing food, medi
tating, and making other simple, fulfilling changes. Ultimately, he slashed his
climate impact to under a tenth of the US average and became happier in the
process.
Being the Change explores the connections between our individual daily actions and our collective predicament. It merges science, spirituality, and practical
action to develop a satisfying and appropriate response to global warming.
Part one exposes our interconnected predicament: overpopulation, global
warming, industrial agriculture, growth-addicted economics, a sold-out political
system, and a mindset of separation from nature. It also includes a readable but
authoritative overview of climate science. Part two offers a response at once obvious and unprecedented: mindfully opting out of this broken system and aligning our daily lives with the biosphere.
The core message is deeply optimistic: living without fossil fuels is not only
possible, it can be better.
Peter Kalmus is an atmospheric scientist at Caltechs Jet Propulsion Laboratory
with a PhD in physics from Columbia University. He lives in suburban Altadena,
California with his wife and two children on one tenth the fossil fuels of the average American.

Being the Change (DVD)
Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution
Directed by Mary Grandelis and Dave Davis
A new feature documentary about the

most inspirational scientists in America.
Complementing the book Being the Change, this feature documentary film
delves into the life of Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory atmospheric scientist Peter Kalmus, showing how a change in life philosophy and mindframe enabled Kalmus to cut his fossil fuel use to a tenth of the average American all while
boosting his happiness and raising a family in a typical California suburb.
In the film, Kalmus reveals how he stopped trying to convert climate change
deniers with facts and figures and instead embarked upon a mission to become
the change he wanted to see in the world. Along the way, Kalmus shows how
he brought together his head (the science), his hands (food growing, bicycling,
and lifestyle change), and heart (meditation and community building), to find
new direction in his life.
Inspirational, hopeful, and doable by anyone, the message is clear: we can all
change our minds and actions and live happier, more satisfying lives while re
connecting with ourselves, our communities, and the biosphere that sustains us
all. And in the process we might just spark a climate revolution that truly changes
everything.

After over 100 years of mandatory schooling in the US, literacy rates have
dropped, families are fragmented, learning disabilities are skyrocketing, and
children and youth are increasingly disaffected. Thirty years of teaching in the
public school system led John Taylor Gatto to the sad conclusion that compulsory governmental schooling is to blame, accomplishing little but to teach young
people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine.
He became a fierce advocate of families and young people taking back edu
cation and learning, arguing that genius is as common as dirt, but that conventional schooling is driving out the natural curiosity and problem-solving
skills were born with, replacing it with rule-following, fragmented time, and
disillusionment.
Gattos radical treatise on public education, a New Society Publishers bestseller for 25 years, continues to bang the drum for an unshackling of children
and learning from formal schooling. Now, in an ever-more-rapidly changing
world with an explosion of alternative routes to learning, its poised to continue
to shake the world of institutional education for many more years.
Featuring a new foreword from Zachary Slayback, an Ivy League dropout
and cofounder of tech start-up career foundry Praxis, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition will inspire new generations of parents and students to take control
of learning and kickstart an empowered society of self-directed lifetime-learners.
John Taylor Gatto has been a fierce advocate for self-d irected guerrilla education for decades. He is also the author of Weapons of Mass Instruction and The
Underground History of American Education.

native ponds in both aesthetics and functionality. Highly illustrated with how-to
drawings and photographs, coverage includes:
Understanding pond ecosystems and natural algae control

Step-by-step guidance for construction, plants and fish, and maintenance
and troubleshooting

feature or a homesteader with visions of a large pond for fish, swimming, and irrigation, Building Natural Ponds is the complete guide to building ponds in tune
with nature, where plants, insects, and amphibians thrive in blissful serenity.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, a young Lebanese adventurer leaves the
Levant to explore the wilds of Africa, encountering an eccentric English colonel
in Sudan and enlisting in his service. In this lush chronicle of far-flung adventure, the military recruit crosses paths with a compatriot who has dismantled
a sumptuous palace in Tripoli and is transporting it across the continent on a
camel caravan. The protagonist soon takes charge of this hoard of architectural
fragments, ferrying the dismantled landmark through Sudan, Egypt and the
Arabian Peninsula, attempting to return to his native Beirut with this moveable
real estate. Along the way he encounters skeptic sheikhs, suspicious tribal leaders, bountiful feasts, pilgrims bound for Mecca, and T. E. Lawrence in a tent.
This is a captivating modern-day Odyssey in the tradition of Bruce Chatwin and
Paul Theroux.
Charif Majdalani, born in Lebanon in 1960, teaches French literature at the
Universit Saint-Joseph in Beirut. Moving the Palace is the winner of the prestigious Francois-M auriac Prize from the Acadmie Francaise as well as the Prix

Audubon, On The Wings Of The World
Fabien Grolleau
Illustrated by Jrmie Royer
Translated by Etienne Gilfillan
A stunningly illustrated graphic novel charting the life and adventures

of the passionate bird-lover and explorer, John James Audubon.
At the start of the nineteenth century, John James Audubon embarked upon an
epic ornithological quest across America with nothing but his artists materials,
an assistant, a gun, and an all-consuming passion for birds . . .
This beautiful volume tells the story of an incredible artist and adventurer:
one who encapsulates the spirit of early America, when the wilderness felt limit
less and was still greatly unexplored. Based on Audubons own retellings, this
embellished version of his travels captures the wild and adventurous spirit of a
truly exceptional naturalist and painter.
Fabien Grolleau has written and created several comics for Vide Cocagne (which
he co-founded) as well as the graphic novel Jaques a Dit.
Jrmie Royer is an illustrator and designer. After studying art for two years in
Nice, he specialized in comic book art and illustration in Brussels.

The Invented Part
Rodrigo Fresn
Translated from the Spanish by Will Vanderhyden
A sprawling epic about imagination, creation, and reality
in the vein of Infinite Jest and Gravitys Rainbow.
A kaleidoscopic, open-hearted, shamelessly polymathic storyteller, the kind

who brings a blast of oxygen into the room.Jonathan Lethem
An aging writer, disillusioned with the state of literary culture, attempts to dis
appear in the most cosmically dramatic manner: traveling to the Hadron Collider,
merging with the God particle, and transforming into an omnipresent deity
a meta-w ritercapable of rewriting reality.
With biting humor and a propulsive, contagious style, amid the accelerated
particles of his characteristic obsessionsthe writing of F. Scott Fitzgerald,
the music of Pink Floyd and The Kinks, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the links between great art and the lives of the artists who create itFresn takes us on a
whirlwind tour of writers and muses, madness and genius, friendships, broken
families, and alternate realities, exploring themes of childhood, loss, memory,
aging, and death.
Drawing inspiration from the scope of modern classics and the structural
pyrotechnics of the postmodern masters, the Argentine once referred to as a
pop Borges delivers a powerful defense of great literature, a celebration of reading and writing, of the invented partst he stories we tell ourselves to give shape
to our world.
Rodrigo Fresn is the author of nine books of fiction that together compose
an expansive, interconnected fictional universea complex system of storylines, resonances, and self-reference that call to mind the works of David Foster
Wallace, Thomas Pynchon, and Roberto Bolao.
Will Vanderhyden received fellowships from the NEA and Lannan Foundation
to work on The Invented Part.

A stolen diamond and three right feet, wearing shoes of a non-e xistent brand,
that wash ashore in Scotland set into motion the first plot of Island of Point
Nemo, a rollicking Jules Verne-like adventure narrative that crosses continents
and oceans, involves multilingual codes, a world-famous villain, and three
eccentrically loopy detectives.
Running parallel is the story of B@bil Books, an e-reader factory in France
filled with its own set of colorful characters, including the impotent Dieumercie
and his randy wife, who will stop at nothingi ncluding a suspect ritual involving beesto fix his problem, and their abusive boss Wang-li Wong, obsessed
with carrier pigeons and spying on his employees.
With the humor of a Jasper Fforde novel, and the structure of a Haruki
Murakami one, Island of Point Nemo is a literary puzzle and grand testament to
the power of storytellingeven in our digital age.
Born in Algeria, Jean-Marie Blas de Robls is a truly international writer, having spent significant time in Brazil, France, Taiwan, and Libya. His novel Where
Tigers Are at Home won the Fnac, Giono, and Mdicis Prizes. Island of Point Nemo
is his ninth novel.
Hannah Chute has an MA in translation from the University of Rochester. In

Tmas Jnsson, Bestseller
Guberger Bergsson
Translated from the Icelandic by Lytton Smith
Icelands first modernist novel is a wild excursion through
the mind of a senile man trying to write his memoirs.
Gubergur Bergsson achieved success with his novel Tmas Jnsson, Bestseller,
which shocked Icelandic readers in innumerable ways, lashing out as it does
at the Icelandic society of the post-w ar years for its cultural confusion, amorality, and hypocrisy. The main character is a grumpy old man who speaks
and writes in various styles, grumbles and babbles and criticizes everything.
Dagn Kristjnsdttir
A retired, senile bank clerk confined to his basement apartment, Tmas Jnsson
decides that, since memoirs are all the rage, hes going to write his owna sure
bestsellerthat will also right the wrongs of contemporary Icelandic society.
Egoistic, cranky, and digressive, Tmas blasts away while relating pick-up techniques, meditations on chamber pot use, ways to assign monetary value to noise
pollution, and much more. His rants parody and subvert the idea of the memoir
something thats as relevant today in our memoir-obsessed society as it was when
the novel was first published.
Considered by many to be the Icelandic Ulysses for its wordplay, neologisms, structural upheaval, and reinvention of whats possible in Icelandic writing, Tmas Jnsson, Bestseller was a bestseller, heralding a new age of Icelandic
literature.
Gubergur Bergsson is the author of twenty-one books, from novels to childrens literature, and a translator from Spanish into Icelandic. He has received
the Icelandic Literary Prize and the Nordic Prize.
Lytton Smith is the author of The All-Purpose Magical Tent, and has translated
works from Bragi lafsson, Jn Gnarr, and Kristin marsdttir, among others.

and translated both the scientific and experiential information that has long
been the sole domain of academic scientists and elite chefs.
Fueled by her mission to correct online misinformation and outdated materials, Ward guides readers through a comprehensive survey of the methods
that will ensure your preservation projects are safe and delicious. Included
are highly adaptable recipes that demonstrate every method and technique of
preservation.
A foreword by Nancy Singleton Hachisu, (Japanese Farm Food and Preserving
the Japanese Way) shares her journey to discovering food preservation. For fans
of Alton Brown, Kenji Alt-Lopez, and Harold McGee, Preservation: The Art and
Science of Canning, Fermentation and Dehydration is the guide you never knew
you needed. Youll never look at a jar of strawberry jam the same way.
Chapters include information on freezing, pressure canning, hot-water bath
and atmospheric canning, dehydration, fermentation, smoking, and curing. Also
included are a detailed source guide.
Christina Ward teaches notoriously raucous preservation classes and serves as a
volunteer mentor to urban farmers, small-scale food producers, and question answerer for people all over the country trying to save their pickles from disaster.
Her love of teaching is evident on every page as complicated scientific concepts
are simplified and explained with precision and humor.

told investigation of revolutionary science and enterprise from the seventeenth
century to the present. He looks at what has been meant by theories of everything, explores the scientific breakthroughs they have allowed, and shows the
far-reaching effects they have had on crucial aspects of life and belief. Theories

The Stupidity Paradox

The Power and Pitfalls of Functional Stupidity at Work
Mats Alvesson and Andr Spicer

Functional stupidity can cause organisational collapse, financial meltdown and
technical disaster. And there are everyday examples of organisations accepting
the dubious, and the downright idiotic, from unsustainable management fads to
the cult of leadership or an over-reliance on brand. And yet a dose of stupidity can
be useful and produce good, short-term results: it can nurture harmony, encourage people to get on with the job and drive success. This is the stupidity paradox.

The Glass Wall
Success Strategies for Women at Work
and Businesses that Mean Business
Sue Unerman & Kathryn Jacob

Bold, practical strategies that will shatter the glass wall
in the workplace, and boost any womans career.
It is so important to empower other women and that is exactly what this book
does. It gives women practical advice to help them navigate their careers and,
ultimately, design their own life.Diane von Furstenberg
This is a rich report on what it is like right now in the complex world of men and
women working together.Charlotte Beers, former CEO of Ogilvy Advertising
and former Undersecretary of State
Never mind the glass ceiling. In the workplace today theres a glass wall. Men
and women can see each other clearly through the divide, but they dont speak
the same language or have the same expectations. And as a result, women and
their careers are suffering.
With more women than ever in the workforce, but still too few in the boardroom, now is the time to address the assumptions and miscommunication holding women back. This book gives women the tools they need to master any
situation. Drawing on Sue Unerman and Kathryn Jacobs own experience in
male-dominated businesses, as well as overa hundred interviews with both men
and women, The Glass Wall provides clear, smart, and easy-to apply strategies
for success. From unlocking ambition and developing resilience to nurturing
creativity and getting noticed, these are the skills that everyone needs to learn
to help break down that wall and create better workplaces for all.

Professional Fashion Design
Methods and Techniques for Achieving Professional Results
Manuela Brambatti
Forewords by Bruno Gianesi and Tony di Corcia
A tutorial by Gianni Versaces star illustrator.
Professional Fashion Design is a tutorial by Daniela Bambrilla, Versaces chief design illustrator. The book is the idea of couturier Favio Marconi who, impressed
by Bambrillas drawing style, her unique taste in fashion design, and the precision with which she captures the flow of fabric over the body, convinced her to
put it into print. Here Bambrilla reveals her fresh and innovative style, original
and distinctive for Versaces workshop, halfway between fashion sketching and
illustration.
Manuela Brambatti began to work in the fashion world in the late 1970s for
the fashion magazine Style and for other magazines. She has collaborated with
Giorgio Correggiari, Krizia, and Gian Marco Venturi. As an employee and later
exclusive partner of the Versace fashion house from 1981 to 2009, Brambatti
was crucial in setting standards for how fashion collections are presented and
illustrated and, in recent years, also influenced Versaces Home Collection.
Bruno Gianesi worked for Gianni Versace for sixteen years as head stylist and
manager of theatrical projects. He designed costumes for respected choreographers and directors such as Maurice Bjart, Roland Petit, William Forsythe, and
Bob Wilson and designed also clothing for famous members of the international
jet-set including Elton John, Madonna, Princess Diana, and Sting.

Food Futures
Gemma Warriner and Kate Sweetapple
This compilation of food design projects illustrates the possibilities

of new technologies for changing the ways society perceives food.
Food Futures is a compilation of unique design projects that act as inspiration

for designers and food enthusiasts alike. It illustrates the possibilities that new
technologies open up to designers and the changing ways that society perceives
food.
The concept of food as an art form is a growing phenomenon for both designers and consumers alike. Designers are increasingly identifying food as an
object that speaks a global languageas an effective communication medium
to visualise and express their ideas.
Aside from the role the designer plays in the process of food fabrication, industrial practices also contribute to the alteration of shape, color, scent, and
consistency of food, transforming it before our eyes, for our eyes. Food Futures
showcases a stimulating visual collection of experimentation and innovation in
food design, posing questions and challenging conventional ways in which we
perceive this everyday commodity.
Food Futures is structured in three main sections, each of which encompasses
design projects appropriate to different categories. These sections help to shape
an understanding of the various ways in which the project has been created and
cover the respective concepts of Two Dimensional, Three Dimensional and
Multi Sensory.

Thus begins this riveting story of a womans quest to understand her recently
deceased mother, a glamorous, cruel narcissist who left her only child, Elsie, an
inheritance of debts and mysteries. While coping with threats that she suspects
are coming from the cult-like spiritual program her mother belonged to, Elsie
works to unravel the message her dying mother left for her, a quest that ultimately takes her to the South African family homestead she never knew existed.
Gina Sorell is a writer, actor, and creative director who was born and raised in
South Africa and now lives in Toronto with her family. After two decades as a
working actor, including ten years in LA, she returned to her first love, writing,
graduating with distinction from the UCLA Extension Writers Program. Gina

Calligraphies of Love
Hassan Massoudy
Introduction by Saeb Eigner
This beautifully produced gift book brings together

timeless proverbs and calligraphies inspired by love.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness.

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.Kahlil Gibran
Inspired by love poems from the Arab and Muslim world, Hassan Massoudys
elegant, swirling compositions capture in calligraphy what countless poets have
wrought with words. Through broad strokes and vibrant colours, the artist conveys the essence and meaning of love as captured by Rumi, Kahlil Gibran, Ibn
Zaydoun and Paul Eluard among others.
With over one hundred colour illustrations, Calligraphies of Love is a unique
gift book bringing together new works by one of the greatest calligraphers of
our time.
Hassan Massoudy was born in 1944 in Najaf, southern Iraq. He moved to
Baghdad in 1961 where he learnt the various classical styles of calligraphy, and
studied graphic design and fine arts. He then attended Lcole des Beaux-A rts
in Paris, France, where he was further influenced by the art of Leger, Matisse,
Soulages and Picasso. Massoudys work has been exhibited throughout Europe
and the Middle East, and is in the permanent collections of the British Museum
in London and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, among others. His other
publications in English include The Calligraphers Garden.

Kingdom of the Young
Edie Meidav
From flamenco guitarists to Cuban boxers to teenage birthday girls,

Meidavs globe-and-genre-spanning collection captures
dreamers and derelicts in radiant prose.
Edie Meidavs writing is a cascade of fireworks. Her ideas are little bombsand
these stories, fast-spinning sparklers. Her hallucinatory prose flares with color
and heart.Leela Corman, author of Unterzakhn
Ambitious, original, deliciously philosophical. Kingdom of the Young invites
comparison to the crnicas of Clarice Lispector and the fabulas of Italo Calvino.
Carolyn Cooke, author of Daughters of the Revolution
The dynamic characters in Kingdom of the Young are searching: for adventure, work, love, absolution, better chances elsewhere. In a symphonic stream
of consciousness, a fanatical child army loses faith in its commander as he
ages unforgivably into his thirties. A woman possessed with wanderlust and
a small inheritance seeks love among the cave-dwelling Roma in Granada.
Traumatized war veterans run local rackets; smarmy bureaucrats rise through
the ranks of repressive regimes; civilians attempt to escape the stranglehold of
life under dictatorships.
From the honeycombed caves outside the Alhambra to the streets of Havana,
from hospital wards to quinceaera parties, these stories testify to Meidavs vast
imaginative range. A nonfiction coda presents a window into Meidavs singular
mind and philosophy, while offering new ways of reading the collection.
Edie Meidav is the author of three novels: The Far Field, Crawl Space, and Lola,
California. Her honors include a Lannan Literary Award, a Kafka Award for Best
Novel by an American Woman, the Bard Fiction Prize, a Whiting Award, and a
Howard Fellowship. She teaches in the University of Massachusetts MFA program and lives in Amherst.

Part biographic inquiry, part lyric portraiture,

Threading the subtle seam between what lives and what remains, A Twenty

Marceaus performance as both a character on stage and in history. . . . Like pulling a ghost from a dark room, this is an accomplished work of historical portraiture: precise in its objects, complex in its melancholy, and insightful in its
humor.Thalia Field, author of ULULU (Clown Shrapnel)
Intellectually agile and tenderly imagined, Shawn Wens incandescent essay reminds readers that writing is gesture, that movement is a language of thought,
and that the union of the two is a thing of beauty.Alexandra Kleeman, author

The Academic Hour
Keren Katz
Open every illuminated correspondence between two star-crossed artists

yet to meetand discover a dizzying, dazzling almost love story.
Its safe to say that children in grade school cant illustrate images this impressive, but still, these Keren Katz renderings have a certain unrefined quality to
them thats evocative of kids drawings. This is, of course, a conscious design
choice as Katzs style stands out immensely amidst a sea of computer-generated

vignettes, and set in a fantastic, logic-defying college of shifting rooms and secret performance spaces, The Academic Hour affirms how an intense, fledgling
relationship can ignite the impulse for storytelling with unbridled, ferocious
creative energy.

Witches, Sluts, Feminists

Conjuring the Sex Positive
Kristen J. Sollee
Like being deemed a witch hundreds of years ago, being presumed a slut today is
cause for ostracism, abuse, and death. Archetypes of witch and slut have been
used to police female sexuality and punish women; now, feminists are reclaiming
them as positive affirmations. This book unearths the sex positive feminist legacy
of the witch in art, music, politics, and popular culture, connecting the fictional
witch we love to emulate and fear with real women, past and present.

the Israeli-Palestinian conflictthe injustices, the wrongdoings, and the killings.
Over the decades, the horror and despair had become habit. Yet, as Baram notes,
the vast majority of Israelisas well as international onlookersk now next
to nothing about life on the West Bank. Most have never visited the occupied
territories, and thus the debate revolves around a theoretical, ill-defined area
sketched out in our political imagination.
This book of reportage emerged from the authors realization that Israel is
separated from the West Bank not only by checkpoints but also, more signifi
cantly, by a cognitive barrier. And so began his quest to understand the occupation from both sides. The result is an essential and nuanced journey through
places and experiences that receive little coverage.
Baram, who is widely considered one of the most important intellectual voices
in Israel today, faces painful challenges to his personal and political views and
his hopes for a more peaceful future.
Nir Baram has worked as a journalist, editor, and advocate for Palestinian rights.
He is the author of five novels in Hebrew. In 2010, he received the Prime Ministers
Award for Hebrew Literature.

In December 2011, a corpse is found in a forest in Ludwigsfelde, a small and

peaceful town south of Berlin. The body is hidden between pine trees, covered
with leaves. The victim is Brigitte Scholl, sixty-seven, cosmetician and wife of
Ludwigsfeldes former mayor Heinrich Scholl. There are rumours that Brigitte
was raped and killed by a serial killer. While the police hunt for the murderer,
parents keep their children indoors, and joggers avoid the forest. Three weeks
later, the police arrest the victims husband.
The residents are shocked. Heinrich Scholl is well-respected in his community, regarded as the most successful mayor of East Germany after the fall of
the Berlin Wall. This charming man had it all: a successful career, influential
friends, and a marriage of almost fifty years. But behind closed doors, it was
a very different story. Friends and family were staggered at the picture that
emerged during the trial.
In 2012, Heinrich Scholl is pronounced guilty of murder and sentenced
to life in prison. To this day, he pleads not guilty. Journalist and author Anja
Reich-Osang follows the trial and talks to family, friends, and Heinrich Scholl
himself. She tells a gripping story about marriage, sex, and politics, where nothing is as it seems.
Anja Reich-Osang is a German journalist. She received the German Reporter
Award in 2012 and is currently senior editor at Berliner Zeitung.

The Plains
Second Edition
Gerald Murnane
Introduction by Ben Lerner
A young filmmaker arrives on the plains to document the strange, rich
culture of his surroundings in this surreal, enigmatic love story.
Murnane, a genius, is a worthy heir to Beckett.Teju Cole

A careful stylist and a slyly comic writer with large ideas.Paris Review
A distinguished, distinctive, unforgettable novel.Shirley Hazzard
Deeply mysterious yet grounded in familiar, everyday detail, this novel is an
a lchemical miracle, converting vision into pure narrative.... In the depths and
surfaces of this extraordinary fable you will see your inner self eerily reflected
again and again.Sydney Morning Herald
On their vast estates, the landowning families of the plains have preserved a
rich and distinctive culture. Obsessed with their own habitat and history, they
hire artisans, writers, and historians to record in minute detail every aspect
of their lives, and the nature of their land. A young filmmaker arrives on the
plains, hoping to make his own contribution to the elaboration of this history.
In a private library he begins to take notes for a film, and chooses the daughter
of his patron for a leading role.
Twenty years later, he begins to tell his haunting story of life on the plains. As
his story unfolds, the novel becomes, in the words of Murray Bail, a mirage of
landscape, memory, love and literature itself.
Gerald Murnane was born in Melbourne in 1939. He is the author of ten novels,
which have been widely translated. His memoir Something for the Pain was published in May 2016. He lives in western Victoria.

Born in Australia, Whiteley moved to Europe in 1960 determined to make an

impression. Before long he was the youngest artist to have work acquired by
the Tate. With his wife, Wendy, and daughter, Arkie, Whiteley then immersed
himself in bohemian New York. Living at the Chelsea Hotel they befriended
Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and the rock and roll royalty of the era.
But within two years he fled, having failed to break through. Back in
Sydney, he became Australias most celebrated artist. Winning both the countrys most prestigious art prizes in the same year, the volume of Whiteleys art
soared, as did his fame. Yet addiction was taking its toll, and he struggled in vain
to separate his talent from his disease.
Written with unprecedented behind-t he-scenes access, this dazzling biography offers the full portrait of a mercurial artist. Handsomely illustrated with
three color plate sections.
Ashleigh Wilson has been a journalist for almost two decades. He received a
Walkley Award for his reports on unethical behavior in the Aboriginal art industry, a series that led to a Senate inquiry. He has been The Australians Arts Editor
since 2011. He lives in Sydney.

Lazarus
Book by Enda Walsh
Music and lyrics by David Bowie
An out-of-this-world hit musical from the late cultural icon
David Bowie and award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.
Lazarus... continually emphasizes the surreal over the explicit at nearly every
turn... Its all strange and wonderful and heartbreaking and funny in alternating
measure.R olling Stone
One of the last works completed by beloved pop icon David Bowie before his
death in early 2016, the otherworldly musical Lazarus is a poignant homage to
his legacy. Brimming with both classic songs as well as several new compositions,
Lazarus weaves a thrilling rock opera from Bowies greatest hits. The musical is
based on the bestselling novel The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis (also
adapted into the 1976 film starring a young Bowie), and serves as an intoxicating sequel to Tevis narrative, in which the central figure, Thomas Newton, finds
himself in the throes of addiction and an inescapable dreamlike reality.
David Bowie released over thirty albums throughout his fifty years in the music
industry, including The Man Who Sold the World, Space Oddity, The Rise and Fall
of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Young Americans, Low and Heroes
among others. His final album Blackstar was released to critical acclaim in January
this year. Also an accomplished actor, Bowie appeared on Broadway in The
Elephant Man, and can be seen in many films including The Last Temptation of
Christ and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. In 1996, Bowie was inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 1999, he became a Commandeur dans
LOrdre des Arts et des Lettres.
Enda Walsh is an award-w inning Irish playwright. His plays include Ballyturk,
Misterman, Penelope, The New Electric Ballroom, The Walworth Farce, The Small

When the Israeli prime minister and the chairman of the Palestine Liberation
Organization shook hands on the White House lawn in 1993, the world watched
in awe. Oslo tells the story of the key people who orchestrated this momentous occasion, emphasizing the intricate (and sometimes comical) human journey that led to this historic event. The diplomats and politicians from Israel,
Palestine, Norway, and America who participated in the behind-t he-scenes discussions come to life in Rogers wonderfully complex characters. As much a
story about people as politics, Oslo casts a bright light on the humans behind
the history.
Oslo premiered in the fall of 2016 in a sold-out run at Lincoln Center Theater
and opens on Broadway in April 2017.
J.T. Rogers plays include Blood and Gifts, The Overwhelming, White People,
and Madagascar. He was nominated for a 2009 Olivier Award for his work as
one of the original playwrights for The Great Game: Afghanistan. He is a 2012

A rare example of a contemporary play that keeps us constantly guessing where

With a sharp eye for the dark underbelly of human behavior, Branden Jacobs-
Jenkinss new play Gloria shrewdly depicts the declining, dog-eat-dog industry
of publishing in New York City. As an unnamed magazine struggles with the
worlds encroaching descent into the digital age, the human relationships within
simultaneously implode. Ani, Kendra, and Dean are the sparring, sharp-tongued
assistant editors, constantly competing and complaining, vying over power and a
better position. Governed by ferocious wit and corrosive dialogue, these characters spend most of the first act sniping at one another and finding ways to ignore
their industrys impending doom... until, true to Jacobs-Jenkins fashion, the action is derailed by a shocking turn.

For over thirty years, Anna Deavere Smith has created her own unique form of
theatre by exploring the events that have shaped the American psychea theatre
that documents real-time events through the actual words of those most closely involved. In Let Me Down Easy, Smith creates an indelible gallery of portraits, from
a rodeo bull rider to a prize fighter to a New Orleans doctor during Hurricane
Katrina, as well as boldface names like former Texas Governor Ann Richards, legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong, network film critic Joel Siegel, and supermodel
Lauren Hutton.
Their stories are alternately humorous and heart-w renching, and often a
blend of both. Building upon each other with hypnotic force, her subjects recount personal encounters with the frailty of the human body, ranging from a
mere brush with mortality, coping with an uncertain future in todays medical
establishment, to confronting an end-of-life transition. The testimony of health
care professionals adds further texture to a vivid portrayal of the cultural and
societal attitudes towards matters of health.
Anna Deavere Smith is an actor, playwright, and author. Smiths plays are written using the journalistic technique of interviewing her subjects and performing their testimonies. These works include the award-w inning plays Twilight: Los
Angeles and Fires in the Mirror, which was a finalist for the 1993 Pulitzer Prize.
Both plays were broadcast on PBS as part of the American Playhouse series. She
received a MacArthur fellowship in 1996, the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize in
2013, and the National Humanities Medal from President Obama in 2012.

Paula Vogel
Based on real events, a provocative new drama from a Pulitzer Prize-

winning playwright about one of Broadways greatest controversies.
Indecent reminds us of the power of art to tell us truths long before we are able

Indecent sheds an eye-opening light on a little-k nown time when theatrical history, Jewish culture, and the frank depiction of homosexuality intersected, with
explosive results.New York Times
When Sholem Asch wrote God of Vengeance in 1907, he didnt imagine the height
of controversy the play would eventually reach. Performing at first in Yiddish and
German, the plays subject matter wasnt deemed contentious until it was produced in English, when the American audiences were scandalized by the onstage
depiction of an amorous affair between two women. Paula Vogels newest work
traces the trajectory of the shows success through its tour in Europe to its abrupt
and explosive demise on Broadway in 1923including the arrest of the entire
productions cast and crew.
Paula Vogels play How I Learned to Drive received the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama, the Lortel Prize, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and New York Drama

In this unconventional dark comedy, three misfit high school students in Salem,
Oregon form a unique debate club, complete with a musical version of The
Crucible, an unusual podcast, and a plot to take down their corrupt drama teacher.
With his signature wit, Karam traces the cohorts attempts to fend off the menace of encroaching adulthood with caustic humor and subversive antics. Driven
by a combination of confidence and angst, the small debate club transforms
into an arena for friendships to develop and secrets to unfold. Together, Diwata,
Solomon, and Howie uncover real truths amid fantasy in this incisive play about
sexuality, loneliness, and identity.

reflects on American life during the 2016 national election.
Hungry... may well be the most resonantly topical and emotionally engaging
play of this election year.New York Times
Set in the kitchen of the Gabriels... Hungry gives you the feeling of being a fly
on the wall in the home of people who seem reassuringly familiar even though
youre just meeting them.Hollywood Reporter
In this acclaimed three-part play cycle, Richard Nelsonauthor of the much-
lauded The Apple Family playsdeftly embeds the chaotic tension of the 2016
Presidential election into the hyperrealistic family gathering in the home of the

money, politics, family and culture are mixed together as a meal is being made
all combining to make theatre that is as immediate as it is riveting in its humanity.
The trilogy includes Hungry, What Did You Expect, and Women of a Certain Age.
Richard Nelsons many plays include The Apple Family plays, Rodneys Wife,
Goodnight Children Everywhere, Drama Desk-nominated Frannys Way, and Some
Americans Abroad, Tony Award-nominated Two Shakespearean Actors, and James

Arlington
Enda Walsh
A poignant new work of yearning and isolation from

Tony Award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.
Arlington is certainly a powerful dystopian drama . . . when Ive forgotten the

ideas, I shall still recall Walshs boldness in weaving his closely textured poetic
prose into a new form of comprehensive, category-defying theatre.Guardian
Enda Walshs new play, Arlington . . . is a tremendous exploration of the transcending of circumstance.Stage
Isla is waiting. She sits in a stark, archetypical room, indefinitely, waiting to
know her fate. She is being watched. Her unnamed watcher is her only companion, speaking to her from the surveillance room. In this isolating but oddly intimate setting, Isla and her watcher form a bond, leading to an ultimate, startling
act of love.
In this new play, Enda Walsh displays his quintessential knack for probing the humanity in his characters even when they are trapped in the most dehumanizing of realities. Beauty is found amid seeming hopelessness through
the poetic dialogue and intense emotional journey of those stuck in this liminal world. With the shadows of Samuel Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre, and George
Orwell creeping throughout his new work, Walsh ties together themes of longing and loneliness in this unconventional love story.
Enda Walsh is an award-w inning Irish playwright. His plays include Ballyturk,
Room 303, Misterman, Penelope, The New Electric Ballroom, The Walworth Farce,
Delirium, Chatroom, The Small Things, Bedbound and Disco Pigs. He won a Tony
Award in 2012 for writing the book of the musical Once, which has been produced
on Broadway, in the West End, and on a US national tour.

The Blue Series
The Story Behind the Color
Ben Blackwell
As the brainchild of Jack White, the Blue Series started in tandem with Third
Man Records in 2009. The series of 7-inch singles were recorded in the same studio, with the same producer (White) and photographs taken in the same locale
(Third Man Records Blue Room). Whether Beck, Tom Jones, Stephen Colbert,
the polarizing Insane Clown Posse, or the debut of previously unknown performers, the Blue Series epitomizes Third Man Records and Jack White. With
written contributions from David Fricke and every Blue Series recording artist, this is a behind-the-scenes documentation of the creative process behind a
unique collection of songsand ALL the music will be included.

history with race, gender, and class in America; what it means to live with your

In support of tribal efforts to protect the Bears Ears, Native writers bear testimony to the fragile and essential nature of this sacred landscape in Americas
remote red rock country. Through poem and essay, these often-ignored voices
explore the ways many native people derive tradition, sustenance, and cultural
history from the Bears Ears.
The fifteen contributors are multi-generational writers, poets, activists, teachers, students, and public officials, each with a strong tie to landscape and a particular story to tell. Willie Grayeyes, Chairman of Utah Din Bikyah, shares
his ancestral ties to the Bears Ears. Klee Benally, Din activist, musician, and
filmmaker, asks, What part of sacred dont you understand? Morning Star
Gali, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer at Pit River Tribe, speaks to the fight
for cultural preservation. The fifteen contributors speak for the Bears Ears
and elevate the conversation around tribal sovereignty and sacred places across
the U.S.

Havana without Makeup
Inside the Soul of the City
Herman Portocarero
A diplomat and writer with decades of unparalleled knowledge

delivers an intimate, unconventional portrait:
the single must-read book about Cuba.
Havana without Makeup is the ultimate insiders view of Havana, a wide-ranging

exploration of its complex facets as seen by few. Its aim is to capture the soul of a
city and a society that have evolved on their own terms at the moment before they
face inevitable transformations.
Opening on the eve of the announcement of reconciliation between the US
and Cuba, the book then looks back at the cultural, political, economic, and religious influences that led up to this historic moment and beyond. Readers are
led by a brilliant renaissance man and writer who has been at the vanguard of
the citys struggles for more than twenty years. Portocareros anti-tourist guide
to Havana examines the built environment of the most sensual ruin on the
planet: why are large parts of the city so neglected, and what changes may we
see over the coming years? Examining all things Cubaniaracial issues, la revo
lucin, baseball, Hemingway, communism, synagogues, Santeria, Cimarron culture, and much morePortocarero overturns every stone in his endeavor to bring
us inside the city he loves.
Illustrated with original photographs, this is a unique and essential account
of Havanas history, its present, and what its future may hold.
Herman Portocarero is a Belgian-born writer and diplomat of Spanish and
Portuguese descent. He has published more than twenty works of fiction and
nonfiction, including the Hercule Poirot Prize-w inning crime novel New Yorkse
Nachten (New York Nights). He is presently the European Union ambassador to

Beatrix Osts memoir of her artistic awakening and early marriage opens on the
heels of Germanys recovery from the self-imposed disasters of World War II.
She is part of the new generation that dances disobediently in the bombed-out
villas and underground jazz caverns of Munich. Beatrix rides the dynamic decade up through the worlds of art, fashion, and cinema into the revolution of
polit ics and consciousness.
Marriage to the self-made prodigy and archaeologist, Ferdinand, impresario
of the Hot Club, draws her into the mystical realm of the ancient Mexican
gods. Soon, two sons are born. They make an odyssey through Mexico where,
under the wing of the artistic elite, their homes full of Riveras and Kahlos, the
initial impression is intoxicating. But the further they press inland, the more
Ferdinand loses himself in his obsession and addictions.
Ost draws us into the vortex of human craving to portray the complexities
of her marriage to a man scarred by the war, climbing the magical mountain of
his own desires.
Accompanied by the authors artwork and photographs from her private
collection.

A Piece of Me
My Childhood in Wartime Bavaria
Beatrix Ost
Introduction by Andrew Solomon
An important contribution to new literature exploring the effects of WWII
and the Holocaust on every stratum of German life.
As a young girl growing up in the 1940s on a vast estate near Munich, Trixi Ost
lives a life that is charmed by talent and privilege yet scarred by turbulent times.
She enjoys the attentions of a beloved grandfather who sings her songs and
holds forth in Latin, the pig and the deer she keeps as pets, and a wide freedom
to roam. But everyday routine is swiftly upended as the estate becomes temporary home to an unlikely collection of people displaced by the war: distant relatives, forced laborers, Prussian royals, Polish peasants, generals, and even a few
spies. One bright afternoon, a band of Easterners arrive: The farm community
gathered . . . staring rigidly at the approaching strangers in their desiccated floral colors, the skin of their faces gaunt and gray like dusty paper. . . . Who were
they? Where were they coming from on this June day? Dachau, breathed the
young man who led them, almost inaudibly.
Rendered with insight, humor, and an acute visual lyricism, and sprinkled
with fairy tales, rhymes, and family photographs, A Piece of Me is a unique exploration of the powers of sense memory and of a little-k nown chapter in the history

The year is 2024. Climate change has altered the worlds wave patterns. Drones
crisscross the sky, cars drive themselves, and surfing is a new Olympic sport.
Mafuri Long, UCSD marine biology grad, champion surfer, and only female
to dominate a record eighty-foot wave, still has something to prove. Having
achieved Internet fame, along with sponsorship from Google and Nike, shes intent on winning Olympic gold. But when her father, a clinically depressed former Navy captain and widower, learns that his beloved supercarrier, the USS
Hillary Rodham Clinton, is to be sunk, he draws Mafuri into a powerful undertow. Conflicts compound as Mafuris personal life comes undone via social
media, and a vicious Aussie competitor levels bogus doping charges against her.
Mafuri forms an unlikely friendship with an awkward teen, a Ferrari-d riving
professional gamer who will prove to be her support and ballast. Authentic, brutal,
and at times funny, Mafuri lays it all out in a sprightly, hot-w ired voice.
From San Diego to Sydney, Key West, and Manila, That Crazy Perfect Someday
goes beyond the sports/surf clich to explore the depths of sorrow and hope,
yearning and family bonds, and the bootstrap power of a bold young woman
climbing back into the light.
Michael Mazza is a San Francisco-a rea fiction writer whose stories have appeared in Other Voices, WORDS, Blue Mesa Review, TINGE, and ZYZZYVA. He
is also an internationally acclaimed art and creative director working in the advertising industry. That Crazy Perfect Someday is his first novel.

Nomadologies
Erdag
Gknar
Foreword by Garrett Hongo
The poems in Nomadologies connect moments of separation and union in a life
lived between Turkey and America. Taking its organizing principle from the
grammar of nomadic life, Nomadologies reveals that mobility is the most efficient
strategy for sustaining contradictory existences. Here, we learn that poetry is a
landscape of inhabitation, and perpetual exile is ones home.
Erda Gknar is a scholar, writer, and translator. He is best known for his
award-w inning translation of Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuks novel My Name
Is Red. He is a faculty member at Duke University where he researches, teaches,
and writes on Turkish Studies.

Firework
Second Edition
Eugene Marten
Called, an explosive road novel, by Vanity Fair,

Eugene Marten is the rightful successor to Cormac McCarthy.
To borrow Rakims words, this book is a sack of dynamite, powerful and bright.
Its a grimly exciting report of the street-level world, a lyric highway story that
pops with real American voices and roars with an underground river of criminal menace, a strange captivating work of the imagination, original and great.
A tticus Lish
Firework is about the gorgeous plasticity of the American language. Its about
motiveless malevolence and the human want to flee. Its about Jelonnek, and there
isnt any figuring Jelonnek. Hes a prisoner and a security guard, a good Samaritan
and a creep. Jelonnek will never leave you. Lucky you, lucky us, to have his wild
tale in our hands.Noy Holland
There is nothing quite like the controlled burn of Eugene Martens prose.
Sam Lipsyte
An explosive road novel.Vanity Fair
Firework is the story of a man who, though ill-equipped to help himself, attempts to
help someone else, and the beautifully rendered, perhaps necessary catastrophe
that results. Unequaled in intensity and often blackly humorous, it is also an exhilarating expression of the all too human impulse to become more than what
we seem to be.
Eugene Marten is the author of In the Blind, Waste, and Laymans Report.

Everything is Flammable
Gabrielle Bell
The first full-length Graphic Memoir from one of

the masters of the form.
Bells pen becomes a kind of laser, first illuminating the surface distractions
of the world, then scorching them away to reveal a deeper reality that is almost
too painful and too beautiful to bear.A lison Bechdel, Fun Home and Are
You My Mother
From Gabrielle Bell, one of the most sincere voices of her generation (Chris
Ware), comes her most brilliant cartoon diary yet, an examination of one of
the most intense years in her life. When her mothers remote home burns to
the ground, leaving her with only the clothes on her back and a favorite dog,
Gabrielle and her brother have to return to Northern California to help a woman
who is a stranger to them both. And when her own apartment in Brooklyn is itself damaged in a fire, Gabrielle is forced to examine a past of violence and hardship, and confront a present that is making its own challenging demands. Told
over the course of a year in her signature funny, digressive style, Flammable unfolds with a brutal yet vulnerable honesty that has become the trademark of Bells
brilliant cartoon diaries.
Gabrielle Bells work has been selected multiple times for Houghton-M ifflin
Best American Comics and has been featured in McSweeneys, The Believer,
Bookforum, and Vice magazines. Her story, Cecil and Jordan In New York, was
turned into a film by Michel Gondry. The Voyeurs was named one of the best
Graphic Novels of the year by Publishers Weekly.

The Story of Jezebel: And Her Turbulence
with the Prophets of Israel:
a Satiric Recounting of the Pious Struggling of Elijah, Elisha
and John as They Fight for the Immortal Souls of Their People.
Based on the Bestselling Book, The Bible, Written by God
Elijah Brubaker
Sunday school meets Comedy Central.
From up-a nd-coming comic artist Elijah Brubaker comes The Story of Jezebel,
a thoroughly modern, and hilarious, take on the Old Testament tale of paganism, murder, and sex. King Ahab is arranged to marry the beautiful Jezebel, a hip
chick with a short fuse, whose interest in the pagan god Baal doesnt sit well
with the people. With a mix of satirist wit and visual verve, Brubaker puts his
unique twist on angels, famine, war and even bear maulings, without losing
touch with the biblical source material. If your grandmas Sunday school was a
Comedy Central special, it would be Elijah Brubakers Story of Jezebel.

Jon Lewis
The best of the True Swamp series collected for the first time.
Praise for True Swamp:

Lewis . . . creates a believable and intricate society, and it all comes together
brilliantly.Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
At its heart, True Swamp is an existential howl. . . . It certainly stands the test
of time.The Comics Journal
There are any number of clever ways of categorizing True Swamp, each of them
more or less accurate; most recently, Ive taken to referring to it as a profane post-
punk Pogo. However, the single word that all of those descriptions must necessarily include is brilliant.ForeWord Magazine
True Swamp is a song of love.Jim Woodring, creator of Frank
True Swamp: Anywhere But In . . . continues the misadventures Lenny the Frog.
The world of True Swamp grows to include inventor marmots, sculptors of social
interaction, collectors of human relics and the swamps one true religion. This is
the very best of True Swamp.

The next great American novel, in verse. Rohrer makes an ordinary day
extraordinary with his wild, captivating, and unsettling tales.
A gripping, eerie, and hilarious novel-in-verse from poet Matthew Rohrer. In a

Russian-doll of fictional episodes, we follow a midlevel publishing assistant over
the course of a day as he encounters ghost stories, science fiction adventures,
Victorian hashish eating, and robot bigfoots. Rohrer mesmerizes with wildly
imaginative tales and resonant verse in this compelling love letter to storytelling.

they all seemed asleep
for a while the stark shadows
held me
only my mind moved
wildly behind my eyes
until I heard a tiny
song coming from the driver
song of a bandits broken
heart, song of his betrayal

The Poetry Project at St. Marks Church was founded in 1966 for the overlapping
circles of poets in the Lower East Side of New York. These interviews from The
Poetry Project Newsletter form a kind of conversation over time between some of
the late 20th centurys most influential poets and artists, who have come together
in this legendary venue over the past fifty years. Includes interviews with Charles
North, Anne Waldman, Bernadette Mayer, David Rattray, Allen Ginsberg,
Kenneth Koch, Harryette Mullen, Barbara Henning, David Henderson, Lisa

For the poets closely involved with the Poetry Project since, and subsequent to, its inception, the interviews were an opportunity to speak directly to a community one could
perceive as known, imaginary, expanding, unwieldy, intermittent, formative, desperately necessary, and sometimes peculiarly unsatisfying all at once. Community being
the kind of term that often implies everything and nothing simultaneously, with the
bottom falling out of the word depending on who happens to be wielding it. Poets can be
particularly adept at using and exposing such terms.

Prose Architectures
Renee Gladman
Ink drawings by writer Renee Gladman in which language, architecture,

narrative, and visual art dissolve into uncanny and innovative forms.
Renee Gladman has always struck me as being a dreamershe writes that way
and the dreaming seems to construct the architecture of the world unfolding
before our reading eyes.Eileen Myles
A book of ink drawings that regards language as an exposed nervous system,
uncovering the moment whereby architecture emerges out of prose, the sentence becomes a drawing, and the act of writing narrative can be examined from
bodily movements. Gladman beautifully uses the drawings as an extension of
her writing process, as a way to free language from constraint. Afterword by
Fred Moten.
Born in Atlanta, GA, in 1971, Renee Gladman studied Philosophy at Vassar
College and Poetics at New College of California. In addition to Calamities
(Wave Books, 2016), she is the author of eight works of prose, including the
Ravicka novels Event Factory (2010), The Ravickians (2011), and Ana Patova
Crosses a Bridge (2013), as well as a book of poetry, A Picture-Feeling. Her most
recent work of fiction, Morelia, was published in 2016. A longtime publisher and
bookmaker, her projects include Clamour (19961999), the Leroy Chapbook
series (19992003), and Leon Works (since 2005). She is the recipient of a
20142015 fellowship from The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard
University and a 2016 grant to artists from Foundation for Contemporary Arts.
She lives in New England with poet-ceramicist Danielle Vogel.

The Hunger in Plain View:
Selected Poems
Ester Naomi Perquin
Translated by David Colmer
As a poet, Ester Naomi Perquin is able to get into the minds of otherswhether
they are the delinquents presented to us in Cell Inspections or the nameless, strange,
but extremely recognizable figures in her other work. The reader always gets
the feeling that she is being addressed by a person of flesh and blood. Because
Perquin often uses the second-person singular, the idea of direct communication
is further rei nforced. Who is this you? Is it the reader or the writer?

Wolves
Jeon Sungtae
Translated by Sora Kim-Russell
Written in a beautifully rendered, nuanced language, Wolves is a window into a
little-k nown world.K rys Lee -Author of How I Became a North Korean
Sungtaes short stories build a unique world through their consummate construction and firm roots in reality. With Mongolia as the physical background and
through the perspectives of outsiders, Jeon Sungtaes imaginative tales mercilessly expose the hypocrisy and duality that lie within all of us. The stories address
important issues including North-South Korean relations, migrant workers, capitalism in an era of neo-l iberalism, and racially mixed families.
Sora Kim-R ussell, a Korean-A merican poet and translator originally from
California, now lives and works in Seoul, South Korea.

Tadeusz Dabrowski
Translated from Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones
Hailed in Poland as the hope of Polish poetry and the inheritor of its meta
physical tradition, Tadeusz Dabrowski offers these posts from city streets and
trains, his bedroom and Skype, a hospital and his own notebook, employing colloquial language to confront weighty subjects: And right here / poetry appears,
and forces a stag to bolt / in front of the hood of your car.
Tadeusz Dabrowski is the author of six books and recipient of numerous
awards, and his work has been translated into twenty languages.
Antonia Lloyd-Joness brilliant translations have twice won her the Found in
Translation Award.

The Roots of Wisdom

Zang Di
Translated from Chinese by Eleanor Goodman
An inveterate traveler and obsessive observer, Zang Di uses rich, emotional language to explore the natural world, including his beloved Weiming Lake at
Peking Universityh is Walden. His poems often begin with finely-w rought
details, frequently from nature (on such a tiny bird body / all of life is reflected),
and proceed inward to reveal the layers of his psyche.
Poet, critic, translator, and editor Zang Di is one of the leading poets and literary
critics of his generation.
Eleanor Goodman won the 2015 Lucien Stryk Prize and was shortlisted for
the 2015 Griffin Poetry Prize for her translations of Chinese poetry.
