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

The story of 1960s American family that breaks all the rules, now available in paperback
“Hill writes with velocity, rhythm, and wit, conveying a world of subtle emotions and social nuance in brilliantly syncopated inner monologues and staccato dialogue, creating a bravura and resounding performance….Hill has written a breakneck, wisecracking, tenderhearted, socially revealing portrait of an unusual early 1960s American marriage.”Booklist
