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 David Rivard "I love these intense, brilliantly crafted poems. Wise Poison is perfectly pitched and uniquely American, a beautiful, angry, heartbreaking,
celebratory, and powerful book." —Thomas Lux
By Albert Goldbarth “Goldbarth marries emotions, thoughts, and events we never thought to see in proximity to one another; through his genius we rediscover the world's history and our own. No one else now is writing what Albert Goldbarth gives us because no one else can.”
By Pura Lopez-Colome and Forrest Gander Celebrated American poet Forrest Gander offers the brilliance of
Mexican poet Pura Lopez-Colomé in an exquisite English translation
"Darian Leader has always been a terrific intellectual stylist, but The New Black, a profound meditation on grief and other modes of unhappiness, always buoyed by a mysterious, rather wonderful sympathetic pressure, is perhaps his wisest, most involving work."
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.”
