Cover image of Not SidneyI Am Not Sidney Poitier by Percival Everett
"Driven by the most sidesplitting dialogue this side of Catch-22, Everett's latest tells the story of a young man named Not Sidney Poitier who bears an uncanny resemblance to the famed actor. . . . Not only is the novel smart and without a trace of pretentiousness, it shows Everett as a novelist at the height of his narrative and satirical powers."

Cover image of Looking HouseThe Looking House
by Fred Marchant

“In a time of a historical nightmare, Fred Marchant manages to give us a lyrical impulse that consoles. Few American poets, these days, tell us the truth. But Marchant’s new book gives us dwellings, tears, tenderness, flood, escape. In a time of lies and mediocre ironies in literature, here is the voice that is never afraid to say what matters. This is the poetry of home, yes—but the many doors and windows in this book first and foremost ‘teach the heart how to be a heart.’ I read these poems with joy.”
—ILYA KAMIN

"Funny, arch, acerbic, and humanistic, Birkerts's essays remind us that the ability to give ourselves over to writing that requires contemplation has not yet vanished." —San Francisco Bay Guardian

product image By Joanna Kilmartin and Anouar Benmalek
"I was swept along by the beautifully constructed story of Anna and Nasreddine, whose love survives a half century of war and terror in post-colonial Algeria. Benmalek is a master of the poetics of separation." —Alice Kaplan

product image By Ellen Bryant Voigt
The newest addition to the Art of series, edited by Charles Baxter
“Since Randall Jarrell, poets have bemoaned the lack of a true poet-critic, a sensibility at once commonsensical, laconic, and appropriately imaginative. Now we have Ellen Bryant Voigt, who offers Jarrell’s combination of wit and gravity—as well as his critical urgency in choosing subjects of scrutiny.”
