New in January: Everyday People and Spring


Everyday PeopleEveryday People by Albert Goldbarth
“Again Goldbarth directs his amazing collection of little-known facts toward the same simple truths: people fall in and out of love, grow old, die, and hope to be remembered, even as Goldbarth hopes to remember and cherish every odd quotation he incorporates from an ‘astute, high-style comic strip,’ from Whitney Houston, from Charles Darwin, from his friends, all treated with a sympathetic and finally optimistic gusto, ‘large and excited and various and full of that / exuberance we call everyday life.’”—Publishers Weekly, starred review


SpringSpring by David Szalay
“In Spring the gifted writer David Szalay explores the complex worlds of love and money, each with their surprises and vicissitudes. This novel made me feel in the best way that I was eavesdropping on a series of fascinating conversations. An insightful portrait of contemporary England.” —Margot Livesey

FORTHCOMING MAY 2012

"A crazy ambidextrous delight."

—Michael Ondaatje

product image By Per Petterson
“[Per Petterson] provides one of literature’s greatest gifts in his novels—an absorbing interiority that creates a welcome refuge from our cacophonous world. His books are suffused with a luxurious, downy silence, a quiet that allows us to slow down and sink into spare language that evokes complex emotions and primal sensations such as cold, wet, darkness and light with surprising force.”
—NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, “Books We Like”
product image By Robert Boswell
“In clear, charming prose, novelist Boswell delivers a satisfying exploration of the craft of writing fiction.” —Publishers Weekly
product image By Carl Phillips
"Out so much farther than our present pieties, attentive to no social or sentimental voice, only passion's (so often ruinous, defiant of upshot), it is not in every case, every poem, that Carl Phillips triumphs over my timidity. As with Sappho and Pasolini, though, traces of the winged god are everywhere unmistakable, even when this new poet has kicked them over: it is a sacred entail his harsh graces make. I for one am an awed (if lacerated) heir." —Richard Howard
product image By Nick Flynn
“With The Captain Asks for a Show of Hands, Nick Flynn has written a rare lyrical interrogation of brutality in the light of conscience, an unsparing témoignage that sings back to redacted documents, to memoranda governing torture protocols, to night & prison & desert & darkness. This is a poetry that should be read out before the Permanent Court of International Justice in The Hague. Read and be filled with awe, sorrow and gratitude for this poet’s gifts and spiritual courage." —Carolyn Forché
