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 Robin Hemley "An enlightening and even inspiring guide to utilizing elements of one's own life and one's family history as fodder for writing novels and short stories."—Booklist

Mr. Haines's rare vision and poetic eloquence lived this life, and good
that he has shared it." —The New York Times Book Review
By William Kittredge "You may never again see the American West in quite the same way if you
take the time to view it through the eyes of William Kittredge.... A
stunning book." —The Seattle Times
