New in September: The Report, The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards and Skin, Inc.
The Report by Jessica Francis Kane “The
Report is a graceful and dignified look at a single event that
quickly becomes something so much more expansive: a kaleidoscopic examination
of crowds, of disasters, of reverberations and reckoning. I was
absolutely riveted.”
The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards by Robert Boswell
*now available in paperback*
“Like Richard Yates, Robert Boswell seems always to
wish he had better news for us. In the wide-ranging stories of The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards, he
wishes we weren’t so lost, so conflicted, so stubborn in our
misapprehensions. But he's been watching us too closely, with too
clear an eye, too keen an intelligence, and besides, Boswell’s real
talent, like Yates’s, is for telling us the truth.”
Skin, Inc. by Thomas Sayers Ellis “Thomas Sayers Ellis is one of the most gifted poets of his
generation and more. . . . Ellis has something to say about the moment
we’re in, and he is that rare breed of Poet, the kind whose works will be
studied for generations to come, whose
name will be uttered alongside that other great T. S.”
—ROBIN D. G. KELLEY,
author of Thelonious Monk: The Life and
Times of an American Original
By Catie Rosemurgy “The Stranger Manual reminds us that even
as poetry mines the dire circumstances of physical being, its zigzag hungers
and outcries, its methods constantly swerve towards celebration. Catie
Rosemurgy’s penetrating meditative force is fueled by a feral play and we can’t
help but be swept up in its ricocheting humor, riptide imagination, and
mordant, sensual thrill. Reader, prepare for a scorching.”
By Eamon Grennan The retrospective collection by Eamon Grennan,
whose poetry “illuminates, clarifies, and directs our gaze toward what it is we
love but often overlook" (THE NEW YORKER)
By Tess Gallagher "Tess Gallagher is an excellent writer of prose who savors the elegance of simplicity
and whose stories resonate and linger." —The New York Times Book Review
By Jessica Treadway Jessica Treadway seamlessly portrays the complexity of human experience
in the face of incomprehensible loss, revealing yet again why the New York Times Book Review has called her "a writer with an unsparing bent for the truth."
