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 "Catie Rosemurgy is coming like a steam-roller. . . . She is bluesy,
Plathy, magnificently unabashed, yet possessed of real gifts for
rhapsody and tenderness. The reader who is not hers after twenty pages
needs a blood transfusion." —Rodney Jones
“‘Hopper and I form one single person,’ says the Catalan poet
Ernest Farrés of his poems on Edward Hopper’s paintings. Joining this company
of two, Lawrence Venuti carries Hopper home by making him stranger. The idiom
Venuti has invented is at once American and otherworldly, doubled, like the
poems he translates, like the paintings Farrés translated into poems. Not just
a brilliant sequence of poems, Edward
Hopper is a three-part invention.”
