1001 Inventions
London, United Kingdom
1001 Inventions is a non-religious, non-political global British educational initiative that promotes
awareness of a thousand years of scientific and cultural achievements from Muslim civilization from
the seventh century onwards and how those contributions helped build the foundations of our
modern world.
1001 Inventions is an initiative of the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation
(FSTC), a not-for-profit organization founded by a group of philanthropic historians, scientists,
engineers, and social scientists dedicated to researching and popularizing the history of pre-
Renaissance civilizations, especially the Muslim civilization, that have had an impact upon our
scientific, technological, and cultural heritage.
1001 Inventions is now the world’s leading producer of educational material dedicated to the
history of science within Muslim culture and civilization. It researches this material, drawing upon a
diverse pool of unbiased professionals, scientists, engineers, and historians from the world’s leading
universities, museums, and educational centers of learning.
Their work has received support from hundreds of academics, educators, diplomats, legislators,
and heads of state, as well as various private and government agencies from the United Kingdom and
around the world. It has been praised for its positive impact on inter-cultural appreciation, social
cohesion, and the promotion of science.
1001 Inventions consists of a global touring exhibition, now touring the United States, and
supporting educational products, including the 1001 Inventions book, that accompany the exhibition
and highlight the scientific and technological achievements made by the men and women of different
faiths and cultures who lived in Muslim civilization.

Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?
Flaming Challenges to Masculinity, Objectification,
and the Desire to Conform
Edited with an introduction by
Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
Gay culture has become a nightmare of consumerism, whether it’s an endless
quest for Absolut vodka, Diesel jeans, rainbow Hummers, pec implants, or
Pottery Barn. Whatever happened to sexual flamboyance and gender libera-
tion, an end to marriage, the military, and the nuclear family? As backrooms
are shut down to make way for wedding vows, and gay sexual culture morphs
into “straight-acting dudes hangin’ out,” what are the possibilities for a de-
fiant faggotry that challenges the assimilationist norms of a corporate-cozy
lifestyle?
Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots? challenges not just the violence of straight
homophobia but the hypocrisy of mainstream gay norms that say the only way
to stay safe is to act straight: get married, join the military, adopt kids! Mattilda
Bernstein Sycamore reinvokes the anger, flamboyance, and subversion once
thriving in gay subcultures in order to create something dangerous and lovely:
an exploration of the perils of assimilation; a call for accountability; a vision
for change. A sassy and splintering emergency intervention!
Called “startlingly bold and provocative” by Howard Zinn, and described as

“a cross between Tinkerbell and a honky Malcolm X with a queer agenda”

Zapatista Spring
Anatomy of a Rebel Water Project & the
Lessons of International Solidarity
Ramor Ryan
Eight volunteers converge to help campesinos build a water system in Chiapas—a
strategy to bolster the Zapatista insurgency by helping locals to assert their au-
tonomy. Outsiders question the movement they’ve come so far to support—
and each other—when forced into a world so unlike the poetic communiqués
of Subcomandante Marcos—a world of endemic rural poverty, parochialism,
and shifting loyalties to the movement. The quiet dignity of the local compañeros
and echoes of B. Traven, Joseph Conrad, and Albert Camus round out this
epic yarn.

The Accumulation of Freedom

Writings on Anarchist Economics
Edited by Deric Shannon; Anthony J. Nocella, II;
and John Asimakopoulos
The only crisis of capitalism is capitalism itself. Let’s toss credit default swaps,
bailouts, environmental externalities and, while we’re at it, private owner-
ship of production in the dustbin of history. The Accumulation of Freedom brings
together economists, historians, theorists, and activists for a first-of-its-kind
study of anarchist economics. The editors aren’t trying to subvert the notion
of economics—they accept the standard definition, but reject the notion that
capitalism or central planning are acceptable ways to organize economic life.
Contributors include Robin Hahnel, Iain McKay, Marie Trigona, Chris
Spannos, Ernesto Aguilar, Uri Gordon, and more.

A Colossal Wreck
American Diaries, from the Time of Clinton to Obama
Alexander Cockburn
In these stunning new diaries, political journalist Alexander Cockburn paints

the vast and tragic-comic canvas of America’s descent to what Percy Shelley in
his poem “Ozymandias” invoked as “that colossal wreck” of empire. This is
history both public and private, personal and often very funny. “Alexander
Cockburn has always been exceptional,” wrote the late Anthony Howard. “He
possesses a genuinely enquiring mind combined with a real love of words.”
For the hundreds of thousands of fans who have come to Cockburn’s work
though The Nation and CounterPunch, this chronicle will be a marvelous treasure.
For those who have not yet discovered him, this is a marvelous portal.
Cockburn’s two previous journal collections chronicling the eighties and
early nineties are now regarded as classics. Of Corruptions of Empire, David Rieff
wrote in The Times Literary Supplement, “probably the most gifted polemicist writ-
ing in English today.” The Golden Age is in Us took us from the sunset of the Reagan
era to early Clinton time. The New York Times hailed it as the work of “a Warrior
Freethinker, armed with courage and gifted prose to cut down the hypocri-
sies of tyrants.” The Times Literary Supplement called it “a patchwork Paradise Lost.” The
Village Voice hailed it as “a literary gem.”

Decolonizing Anarchism
An Antiauthoritarian History of India’s Liberation Struggle
Maia Ramnath
Decolonizing Anarchism looks at the history of South Asian struggles against colo-
nialism and neocolonialism, highlighting lesser-known dissidents as well as
iconic figures. This approach reveals an alternate narrative of decoloniza-
tion, in which achieving a nation-state is not the objective. Maia Ramnath also
studies the anarchist vision of alternate society, which closely echoes the con-
cept of total decolonization on the political, economic, social, cultural, and
psychological planes. This facilitates not only a reinterpretation of the history
of anticolonialism, but insight into the meaning of anarchism itself.
POLITICAL SCIENCE / SOCIAL SCIENCE Maia Ramnath teaches at New York University and is a board member of the
December Institute for Anarchist Studies.

Eyes to the South

French Anarchists & Algeria
David Porter
Eyes to the South studies the currents of the Algerian revolution alongside the de-
velopment of French anarchist thought from the 1950s to the present. The
book presents a fluid mosaic of actions, writings, and theoretical positions as
it follows the shifting contexts of Algerian politics and society and the evolv-
ing consciousness and organizing of French anarchists in all their diversity.
The result is an engaging and fresh approach to both transnational politics
and anarchist ideas.
David Porter recently retired as professor of politics at State University of

Essays by Paul Lafargue

Edited with an introduction by Bernard Marszalek
Contributions by Fred Thompson and Kari Lydersen
At once a masterpiece of critical theory and rip-roaring radical humor, this
is one of the most spirited attacks on the notion of the “work ethic” ever to
be published. Featuring a revised edition of the original English translation
by Charles Hope Kerr, this collection also includes four of Paul Lafargue’s
lesser-known critiques (including the “Catechism for Investors”), as well as a
biographical sketch by longtime Wobbly organizer Fred Thompson and a new
introduction. Released in collaboration with Kerr Company to celebrate their
125th anniversary year.

In the Shadow of State Power
C.L.R. James, Direct Democracy, & National Liberation Struggles
Matthew Quest
A new scholarly analysis of the importance of direct democracy and national

liberation in the work of autonomous Marxist intellectual C.L.R. James.
Exploring James’ perspectives on Ghana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Haiti,
Trinidad, Cuba, India, and China, Matthew Quest eschews the dominant in-
terpretation of James as a cultural critic and restores the centrality of inde-
pendent labor action in James’ famous notion that “every cook can govern.”
Matthew Quest received his PhD in American civilization from Brown

University and is a visiting lecturer at Georgia State University.

Anarchism and Workers’

Self-Management in Revolutionary Spain
Frank Mintz
Translated by Paul Sharkey
Prologue by Chris Ealham
This is the first English translation of Frank Mintz’s seminal study of the eco-
nomic experiments put into place during the Spanish Revolution to both sus-
tain civil society during the war and, more importantly, act as the material
basis for a new society. These plans weren’t developed by professional econo-
mists but grew out of a political movement that put working people at the
fore and believed that the collectivized workplace would be the cornerstone
of economic life. Includes a prologue by Chris Ealham, author of Anarchism
and the City.

Boundaries
Elizabeth Nunez
“Elizabeth Nunez is one of the finest and most necessary voices in contem-
porary American and Caribbean fiction.”—Colum McCann, author of Let the
Great World Spin
“Elizabeth Nunez has written a book so searing, so astute, so immediate to our
times, it resurrects; it disrupts inevitably; it startles complacency; and over and
over again, it invites healing to flourish.”—Patricia Powell, author of The Fullness
of Everything
In an age of reality TV, a husband and wife cling to Victorian notions of pri-
vacy, though doing so threatens the life of the wife. Their daughter Anna
yearns for her mother’s unguarded affection, and eventually learns there is
value in restraint. But Anna, a Caribbean American immigrant, finds that
lesson harder to accept when, eager to assimilate in her new country, she dis-
covers that a gap yawns between her and American-born citizens.
The head of a specialized imprint at a major publishing house, Anna is
soon challenged for her position by an ambitious upstart who accuses her of
not really understanding American culture, particularly African American
culture. Her job at stake, Anna turns for advice to her boyfriend Paul, a
Caribbean American himself, who attempts to convince her that immigrants
must accept limitations on their freedom in America.
Told in spare and transcendent prose, Boundaries is a riveting immigrant
story, a fascinating look into the world of contemporary book publishing,
a beautiful extension of the exploration of family dynamics that began in FICTION
Nunez’s previous novel Anna In-Between, and a heartwarming love story. October

The Warmest December
Bernice L. McFadden
Foreword by James Frey
“Riveting. . . . So nicely avoids the sentimentality that swirls around the sub-
ject matter. I am as impressed by its structural strength as by the searing and
expertly imagined scenes.”—Toni Morrison, author of Beloved
“This is a story that cuts across all race and social strata in its need to be told.”
—The Dallas Morning News
The Warmest December is the incredibly moving story of one Brooklyn family and
the alcoholism that determined years of their lives. Narrated by Kenzie Lowe,
a young woman reminiscent of Jamaica Kincaid’s Annie John, as she visits her

The Mercury Fountain

Eliza Factor
Set in a remote stretch of desert near the border of west Texas and Mexico
at the turn of the twentieth century, this story follows the pursuits of Owen
Scraperton as he struggles to establish Pristina, a utopian community based on
mercury mining that aims to resolve the great questions of labor and race. As
age, love, and experience cause Owen to modify his original vision, his fiercely
idealistic daughter Victoria remains true to Pristina’s founding principles—
setting them up for a major conflict that captures the imagination of the en-
tire town. The Mercury Fountain combines realistic modern writing with elements
from American and Greco-Roman mythology, taking its cue from Mercury,
the most slippery and mischievous of gods, who rules over science, commerce,
eloquence, and thievery.

Gathering of Waters
Bernice L. McFadden
Gathering of Waters is a deeply engrossing tale narrated by the town of Money,

Mississippi—a site both significant and infamous in our collective story as a
nation. Money is personified in this haunting story, which chronicles its trou-
bled history following the arrival of the Hilson and Bryant families.
Tass Hilson and Emmett Till were young and in love when Emmett was bru-
tally murdered in 1955. Anxious to escape the town, Tass marries Maximillian
May and relocates to Detroit.
Forty years later, after the death of her husband, Tass returns to Money and
fantasy takes flesh when Emmett Till’s spirit is finally released from the dank,
dark waters of the Tallahatchie River. The two lovers are reunited, bringing
the story to an enchanting and profound conclusion.
Gathering of Waters mines the truth about Money, Mississippi, as well as the
Bryant and Hilson families, and threads their history over decades. The bare-
bones realism—both disturbing and riveting—combined with a magical realm
in which ghosts have the final say, is reminiscent of Toni Morrison’s Beloved.
Bernice L. McFadden is the author of seven critically acclaimed novels in-

cluding the classic Sugar and Glorious, which was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine;

The Plot Against Hip Hop: A Novel
Nelson George
“The most accomplished black music critic of his generation.”—The Washington

Post Book World
“Perhaps one of the greatest books ever written. It has the realness of The
Autobiography of Malcolm X, the warmth of The Color Purple, and the page count of
Tuesdays with Morrie. It’s a must-read.”—Chris Rock on City Kid
The Plot Against Hip Hop is a noir novel set in the world of hip hop culture. The
stabbing murder of esteemed music critic Dwayne Robinson in a Soho office
building is dismissed by the NYPD as a gang initiation. But his old friend,
bodyguard and security expert D Hunter, suspects there are larger forces at
work.
D Hunter’s investigation into his mentor’s murder leads into a parallel
history of hip hop, a place where renegade government agents, behind-the-
scenes power brokers, and paranoid journalists know a truth that only a few
hardcore fans suspect. This rewrite of hip hop history mixes real-life fig-
ures with characters pulled from the culture’s hidden world, including Jay-Z,
Kanye West, and Russell Simmons.

overcome as he becomes a reluctant private eye. After reading The Plot Against Hip MYSTERY

“Total genius.”—Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn

“This is the most honest children’s book ever written. And it’s f*cking hilarious.”

“I wish this book had been around during my daughter’s overly protracted

where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sail-
ing off to dreamland. Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach’s
verses and Ricardo Cortés’ illustrations perfectly capture the familiar—and
unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and
open up a conversation about parenting in the process. Beautiful, subversive,
and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new,

Janine Oshiro
“As if through an echolocation of brilliant and insistent off-rhyme, these

poems effect a delicate placement of self into body, body into world, world
into word. And at the center of it all is an even more delicate loss. Janine
Oshiro’s Pier takes its measure in precise instances that ache with intelligence.
A truly masterful first book.”—Cole Swensen
Seeking to identify the self that straddles both spiritual and physical worlds, Janine
Oshiro’s multidimensional poems are borderlands—wild and uncontained—
where vision and illusion become crucial to survival. Pier is a place of fren-
zied collision where human industry meets feral ocean, a place of arrivals,
departures, and transitions. Within these unique architectures, lyric intensity
abounds and our identities discover a common landscape.

Hagar Before the Occupation
Hagar After the Occupation
Amal al-Jubouri
Translated by Rebecca Gayle Howell and Husam Qaisi
“Through these poems, Amal al-Jubouri connects us to the earliest known

poems, and yet the dialectic tension between them is utterly contemporary.
Al-Jubouri writes ‘This is my protest, this is my folly,’ yet these poems are
neither simple protest nor in any sense folly. These poems are both essential
and eternal.”—Nick Flynn
This translation of Iraqi author Amal al-Jubouri contextualizes America’s

occupation of Iraq through the Qur’an’s story of Hagar. Complementary
pairs of poems portray life before and after the war. This work simultane-
ously mirrors Hagar’s desperate running between Safa and Marwah, as we
pace frantically between pre- and post-occupation Iraq—the poet begging in
vain for poetry not to abandon her people.

“Monica Hand’s me and Nina is a beautiful book by a soul survivor. In these

poems she sings deep songs of violated intimacy and the hard work of repair.

embraces a “mass hypnosis” style, putting “a spell on [us]” with her intensely
passionate cries and commitment to embracing both tragedy and exuberance
in these insightful poems.

New and Selected Poems
Peter Dale
Peter Dale’s qualities as a lyric poet are unusual: he marries intimacy of ad-
dress with remarkable skill in formal verse. He is interested in his subjects—
love, relationships, memory, all kinds of daily exchange—and in bringing
them directly to the reader with unassuming craft and conviction. The preci-
sion of his writing matches its intensity of feeling.
This book is the product of fifty years’ elegant, incisive, thoughtful, and
moving work by a leading British poet of rare skill. Dale is also the acclaimed
translator of Dante’s Divine Comedy and several French poets, including Jules
Laforgue, Tristan Corbière, François Villon, and Paul Valéry.

Petrarch: Songs and Sonnets

A Bilingual Selection
Translated with an introduction by Nicholas Kilmer
I saw the tracks of angels in the earth,

The beauty of heaven walking by itself on the world.
The great fourteenth-century poet’s lyric and love poems are presented as liv-
ing poetry in Nicholas Kilmer’s powerful and moving versions. His selection
convinces us that, as he puts it, “Petrarch deserves to be valued as a real man,
a careful thinker, a good poet.” Free in form yet holding close to the central
impulses of Petrarch’s inspiration, Kilmer’s “readings” in this bilingual edi-
tion present Petrarch as a confessional poet, but one who is a humane moral-
ist of startling honesty. POETRY / FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY

Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud’s meteoric career was crammed into four teenage years in
which he wrote two masterpieces, The Illuminations and A Season in Hell, and some
wonderful short poems. At nineteen he then rejected the literary life and left
France. Oliver Bernard, poet and translator of Guillaume Apollinaire, pre-
sents both the French and Latin poems in bilingual form with lively and ac-
curate prose versions and a useful and entertaining introduction. A selection
of letters is also included. This is the best and most helpful presentation of

Bohumil Hrabal
Translated by Stacey Knecht
“Czechoslovakia’s greatest living writer.”—Milan Kundera
In this moving, absorbing novel, we meet the eccentric residents of a home

Written with a keen eye for the absurd and peppered with dialogue that cap-
tures the poignancy of the everyday, Harlequin’s Millions is a sensual delight.
Bohumil Hrabal (1914–1997) worked as a railway dispatcher during the Nazi

occupation of then-Czechoslovakia, a traveling salesman, a steelworker, a re-
cycling mill worker, and a stagehand. His novels were censored under the FICTION

Praise for Eric Chevillard’s Palafox:
“Beautiful. . . . Very amusing. . . . Chevillard takes real narrative risks. . . .

The characters in Prehistoric Times remind us of the inhabitants of Samuel Beckett’s

world: dreamers who in their savage and deductive folly try to modify reality.
In an entirely original voice—full of burlesque variations, accelerations, and
ruptures—Eric Chevillard asks luminous and playful questions about who we
really are.

Hoopla
The Art of Unexpected Embroidery
Leanne Prain
Photographs by Jeff Christenson
Hoopla, by the co-author of 2009’s bestselling Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet
and Knit Graffiti, showcases those who take the craft of embroidery where it’s
never gone before, in an astonishing, full-color display of embroidered art.
Hoopla rebels against the quaint and familiar embroidery motifs of flowers
and swashes, and focuses instead on innovative stitch artists who specialize
in unusual, guerrilla-style patterns such as subway maps, feminist Girl Guide
badges, and metal band letterforms; it demonstrates that modern embroidery
artists are as sharp as the needles with which they work.
Hoopla includes twenty-nine innovative embroidery patterns and profiles
of contemporary embroidery artists, including Jenny Hart, author of Sublime
Stitching; Rosa Martyn of the UK-based Craftivism Collective; Ray Materson,
an ex-con who learned to stitch in prison; Sherry Lynn Wood of the Tattooed
Baby Doll Project, which collaborated with female tattoo artists across the
United States; Penny Nickles and Johnny Murder, the self-proclaimed Bonnie
and Clyde of embroidery; and Alexandra Walters, a military wife who repli-
cates military portraits and weapons in her stitching.

We Sure Can!
How Jams and Pickles Are Reviving the
Lure and Lore of Local Food
Sarah B. Hood
We Sure Can! celebrates the ongoing “Canvolution,” in which urban “preserva-

tionists,” local-food aficionados, rural picklers and jammers, and food blog-
gers are rediscovering the lost art of home canning jams, pickles, and other
preserves. And we’re not talking your standard strawberry jam here; passion-
ate canners are preserving all manner of fruits and vegetables and combining
them with unexpectedly exotic spices and ingredients.
The book features over one hundred recipes from an international assem-
bly of inventive canners (including the author herself), as well as profiles of
those who do it best. The book’s recipes are divided according to the seasons;
some of the more tantalizing creations include Lemongrass, Ginger, & Kaffir
Lime Jelly; Blackberry Lime Jam; Dandelion Jelly; Pickled Ramps; Lavender
Peach Preserves; and Pickled Watermelon Rinds. The book also features prac-
tical and important information and safety tips for those wanting to start can-

Shoot It!
Hollywood Inc. and the Rising of Independent Film
David Spaner
Shoot It! is a revealing history of how Hollywood, with its eye on the bottom
line, arguably lost its ability to support the work of creative filmmakers; it is
also a passionate portrait of the American independent film scene that has
produced some of the best movies of the last two decades and inspired those
in other countries to do the same.
The book examines the Hollywood studio system over several decades,
from the period when moguls like Harry and Jack Warner and Louis B. Mayer
made quality yet commercially viable films, to today, when studios seem only
interested in surefire sequels and comic-book adaptations aimed at a global
audience. By the same token, Shoot It! also celebrates today’s great movies pro-
duced outside of the studio system, chronicling the international indepen-
dent film movement in seven countries (the United States, Canada, Mexico,
Britain, France, Romania, and South Korea), from its roots (French New
Wave, British kitchen sink, the New York scene) to the revolutionary impact
of digital technology. It also features commentary from indie film notables
such as Gus Van Sant, Mike Leigh, Claire Denis, Atom Egoyan, Catherine
Breillat, Sally Potter, John Sayles, and Ken Loach.
While the studios envisage a generic universe, repressing local film cultures
along the way, talented independents continue to tell local stories with uni-

The Inverted Gaze
Queering the French Literary Classics in America
François Cusset
Translated by David Homel
François Cusset, author of the acclaimed book French Theory, investigates the
queering of the French literary canon by American writers and scholars in this
thought-provoking and free-minded journey across six centuries of literary
classics and sexual polemics.
Cusset presents the foundations and rationale for American queer the-
ory, the field of study established in the 1990s and promulgated by writers and
scholars such as Judith Butler, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Michael Warner
(in the wake of Michel Foucault), which challenges a supposed “hetero-
normative” ideology in our culture. He provides an overview of their re-
interpretation of the French literary canon from a queer perspective, then
deliberately goes further, confronting that same canon with a lively form of
general suspicion—seeking gender trouble and sexual ambiguities in the most
unexpected corners of French literary classics, in which macho heroes turn
out to be homosocial melancholics and the most seemingly submissive house-
wives are great vanguards of lesbian liberation.
Cusset’s survey includes medieval and Renaissance literature, works from
the Age of Enlightenment, nineteenth-century avant-gardists such as Charles
Baudelaire and Honoré de Balzac, and twentieth-century modernists such as

Little House Off the Grid
Our Family’s Journey to Self-Sufficiency
Cam Mather and Michelle Mather
Like so many other city-dwellers, Cam and Michelle Mather longed for a sim-
pler, quieter life in the country. When they found a century-old farmhouse on
150 acres of land that was in their price range, they jumped at the chance to
make their move. The fact that the home was “off-grid” with no power or tele-
phone lines connecting it to the outside world seemed like a bonus!
Twelve years later their life in the country is not quite as simple as they had
envisioned, but it is peaceful. There were more challenges than they could
have anticipated, as well as more rewards.
Along the way they installed more solar panels, erected a wind turbine, and
upgraded and replaced all of the major components of their off-grid electri-
cal system. They installed a solar-thermal hot water system; figured out how
to have a phone, internet, and satellite TV; and kept their home heated with
wood cut from their own property. They also carved out a garden and began
growing much of their own food.
They acquired new skills and knowledge, but, most importantly, they learned
to appreciate the value of good neighbors, good books, and good manure.

Behler Publications
Lake Forest, CA
Since 2003, Behler Publications has been publishing best-selling and critically acclaimed works
chronicling personal journeys with socially relevant themes: stories that deal with how people are
influenced and changed by their experiences and how they deal with those repercussions. Our books
invite introspection: “I’m a better and more thoughtful/smarter person for having read this book.”
We are excited about our upcoming titles, including Throwaway Players: The Concussion Crisis From Pee Wee
Football to the NFL by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers president Gay Culverhouse. This is a timely story
of the violence and resulting health issues in sports and the NFL in particular. Off the Street explores
the downside of the “victimless crime” of prostitution and offers parents guidance on how to protect
their daughters from these predators.
Highlights of our best-selling backlist include KTLA’s News at Ten: 60 Years with Stan Chambers, the Los
Angeles news icon and Los Angeles Times bestseller. Stan began his career with the record-breaking
twenty-four-hour coverage of Kathy Fiscus in 1949 and, years later, broke the Rodney King beating.
CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen made a huge impact on readers with his heartfelt tribute to
his wife in Jan’s Story, a Denver Post bestseller, as he details how “forever” suddenly and terrifyingly has
an expiration date.
Behler Publications also enjoyed giving the reading public Julie Genovese’s uplifting memoir
Nothing Short of Joy, to which Wayne Dyer and Bernie Siegel, MD, gave enthusiastic high-fives. Our
last season closed with a brilliant, inspirational, and vital book with Kim Michele Richardson’s The
Unbreakable Child, which not only covers the only successfully prosecuted case against a Kentucky Roman
Catholic orphanage, but includes Kim’s letter to the Pope and his reply. This book received a starred
review from Booklist.
We hope you enjoy looking at our upcoming titles and thought-provoking backlist. We’re certain
you’ll find them as irresistible as our readers have.

Off the Street
Christopher Baughman
“I couldn’t put it down, and neither will you.”—John Lescroart, New York Times
best-selling author of the Dismas Hardy novels and The Hunt Club
Off the Street is detective Christopher Baughman’s true life story of fighting to
protect a class of women who are too easily forgotten and readily dismissed.
Chris and the Las Vegas Pandering Investigation Team (PIT) wage war against
the pimps who kidnap, trick, and beat women into submission and into a life
of prostitution.
What begins with an attempt to apprehend, arrest, and convict a pimp
responsible for beating a woman with a baseball bat over a two-day period
quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Chris shares the emotions
of the victims, parents, and family members who are involved in this in-
vestigation and offers parents guidance on how to protect their daughters
from these predators. Chris ventures back to his own youth, to a memory that
served as the momentum for his passion for saving the people and the city he
has sworn to protect.

Throwaway Players
The Concussion Crisis From Pee Wee Football to the NFL
Gay Culverhouse
The NFL insists players know they’re playing a dangerous game, but players
never see the deteriorated mental capacities of their former heroes. Throwaway
Players is former Tampa Bay Buccaneers president Gay Culverhouse’s story of
the broken bodies and lost souls of the men who have left the locker room and
what remains after the cheering subsides. Focused on making money rather
than the well-being of their players, this is the dark side of football the NFL
doesn’t want fans to see.
Additionally, high schools, colleges, and independent sports organizations
have little oversight when choosing player’s equipment. This breeds a new
generation of kids suffering from multiple concussions and damaged lives.
Throwaway Players offers guidance to parents navigating the world of competi-
tive sports as well as advocacy and resources for athletes often left in the dark
about appropriate procedures for treating injuries, especially head traumas.
Throwaway Players is essential reading for any parent, athlete, and sports fan.
Gay Culverhouse testified before Congress on football head injuries and suc-
cessfully changed the policy of including an independent neurologist on the
sidelines of every NFL game. Gay’s work with former players has appeared in
The New York Times, Sarasota Herald Tribune, St. Petersburg Times, The Tampa Tribune, Time MEDICAL / SPORTS
magazine, and many more. She has appeared on several radio shows, includ- September
ing PBS and ESPN, and is featured in three documentaries that are in post- A Paperback Original

The Body Politic
The Battle Over Science in America
Jonathan D. Moreno
In her foreword to Science Next, Elizabeth Edwards wrote of science as a tool

for social progress: “Innovation is not simply the abstract victory of knowl-
edge [or] the research that gave me years to live; the next science can advance
human flourishing and serve the common good. That’s the kind of world I
want to leave for my children, and for yours.” With these words, she joined
a tradition that goes back to America’s founders, who saw America itself as a
“great experiment.”
Yet while no one can deny that science undergirds the American Dream,
it has long been fertile terrain for the “culture wars.” Along with arguing the
pros and cons of abortion and healthcare, policymakers must now grapple
with advancements that raise questions about what it means to be human:
we’ve decoded the genome, but should we modify it to enhance certain “de-
sirable” traits? If we can, should we prolong life at any cost? Will we soon be
counting robots, cyborgs, and chimeras among our friends and family?
The first book to unpack our love/hate relationship with science from our
country’s origins to today, The Body Politic is essential reading for science buffs
and concerned citizens alike.

Melissa Pritchard
Praise for Melissa Pritchard:

“Melissa Pritchard is one of our finest writers.”—Annie Dillard
“Pritchard’s quicksilver ability to blend biting social/political commen-
tary with a rueful analysis of relationships makes [her work a] delight.”
“I have admired Melissa Pritchard’s writing for several years now for its wis-
dom, its humble elegance, and its earthy comedy.”—Rick Moody
In each of these eight genre-bending tales, Melissa Pritchard overturns the

conventions of mysteries, westerns, gothic horror, and historical fiction to
capture surprising and often shocking aspects of her characters’ lives.
In one story, Pritchard creates a pastiche of historical facts, songs, and
tall tales, contrasting the famed figures of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, in-
cluding Annie Oakley and Sitting Bull, with the real, genocidal history of the
American West. Other stories are inspired by the mysterious life of Kaspar
Hauser, a haunted Victorian hospital where the wounded of D-Day are taken

Epigenetics in the Age of Twitter
Pop Culture and Modern Science
Gerald Weissmann
Praise for Gerald Weissmann:
“The premier essayist of our time, Gerald Weissmann writes with grace and
style.”—Richard Selzer
“[Weissmann] bridges the space between science and the humanities, and par-
ticularly between medicine and the muses, with wit, erudition, and, most im-
portant, wisdom.”—Adam Gopnik
“Weissmann introduces us to a new way of thinking about the connections be-
tween art and medicine.”—The New York Times Book Review
Called “an absolutely first-rate writer” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Gerald

Weissmann is not merely another popular science writer and intellectual his-
torian, but one of our most incisive cultural critics and satirists. Whether
contrasting the science of reproductive biology with J-Lo’s view of fertility,
engaging in the healthcare debate, or imagining the future prose styling of the
scientific research paper in the age of Twitter, his writing is always instructive
and often hilarious.
Epigenetics, which attempts to explain how our genes respond to our envi-
ronment, is the latest twist on the historic nature/nurture debate. In address-
ing this and other controversies in contemporary science Weissmann taps
what he calls “the social network of Western Civilization,” including the many SCIENCE / SOCIAL SCIENCE

Why Not?
Fifteen Reasons to Live
Ray Robertson
Shortly after completing his sixth novel, Ray Robertson suffered a depression
of suicidal intensity. Central to his recovery was the decision to try to answer
two of the biggest questions we can ask. What makes humans happy? And what
makes a life worth living?
His answers aren’t what you might expect from a mental illness memoir—
but they’re exactly what you’d expect from Ray Robertson. With the vitality of
Nick Hornby and a brashness all his own, Robertson runs his hands over life,
death, intoxication, and art. Unashamedly working-class and unabashedly lit-
erary, Why Not? is a rolling, rocking, anti-Sisyphean odyssey.
Ray Robertson is the celebrated author of eight books and six novels, includ-

that struggle can be pretty interesting . . . especially when it happens on com-
pany time.

Suitable Precautions
Laura Boudreau
When a woman discovers a fortune in the attic, she begins a pilgrimage that
takes her to the knife-edge between blessing and curse. Two fatherless children
think Mr. Crisander is nothing more than the creepy next-door neighbor—
until they nearly kill his pot-bellied pig and learn the secrets of his past. A
young girl talks about grade six, stealing cigarettes, and her sister’s no-food
diet while being photographed by an Internet pornographer.
The stories of Suitable Precautions are fresh and haunting, resonant with the
bitter beauty of lives derailed, reclaimed, celebrated, and questioned. By turns
funny and absurd, unexpected and devastating, these stories reveal the strange

This is Service Design Thinking
Basics—Tools—Cases
Marc Stickdorn and Jakob Schneider
This is Service Design Thinking introduces an inter-disciplinary approach to design-

ing services. Service design is a bit of a buzzword these days and has gained a
lot of interest from various fields. This book, assembled to describe and il-
lustrate the emerging field of service design, was brought together using ex-
actly the same co-creative and user-centred approaches you can read and learn
about inside. The boundaries between products and services are blurring and
it is time for a different way of thinking: this is service design thinking.
The book introduces the emerging field of service design thinking in an
accessible manner to beginners and students, and it broadens the knowledge
of and can act as a resource for experienced design professionals. It showcases
twenty-five adaptable service design tools and gives concrete examples of the
practice of service design through five international case studies.
Service design is the biggest new field of business consulting today,

and this practical book details the basics, the tools, and the cases.

Inspiration
Contemporary Design Methodologies in Architecture
Mark Mückenheim and Juliane Demel
Inspiration provides a comprehensive overview of new design methods and tech-

niques that are emerging in the field of architecture. Many of these design
methods make use of digital media and computer algorithms. Some already
existed for a long time, but are reinvented in new ways, like design by fold-
ing paper materials. These new methodologies have changed the way archi-
tects and students design.
The book showcases hundreds of examples, models, sketches, and renderings
of architectural designs within dozens of different methodologies, including:
• Designing with basic elements (lines, circles, squares, planes, dots)
• Pattern development (texture, axes, grids, symmetry)
• Spacial patterns (structure, matrix, modules)
• Typography as a design tool (psychological phenomena, composition
theory, color design)
• Nonspatial and spatial transformations (figure ground relations, addi-
tive spatial design, spatial effects)
• Basic spatial design, complex spatial design, and parametric design

Ernesto Mallo
Translated by Katherine Silver
Praise for Ernesto Mallo’s Needle in a Haystack:

“A vivid and compelling picture of a society riven by corruption, social
breakdown, and casual brutality. A pacy, intense, and thought-provoking
read.”—Guardian
“Martin Cruz Smith and Philip Kerr fans will be rewarded.”—Publishers Weekly
“A gritty, painful portrait of a dystopian culture spinning further and further
out of control. A compelling, blood-stained document of tyranny and brutal-
ity told with skill and passion.”—Crime Time
In the second book in the Superintendent Lascano series, Lascano is drawn

into a war between the Buenos Aires chief of police and the Apostles, drug-
dealing cops who want to control the city. When the chief of police is mur-
dered, Lascano becomes the Apostles’ next target. His only way out of the
country is to retrieve the loot from a bungled bank robbery.
Ernesto Mallo paints a scathing portrait of Argentina, where the Junta’s
generals are paraded in court in civilian clothes and treated like mere petty
thieves. Corruption and violence continue to rule, but at the center of the

Praise for Claudia Piñeiro’s Thursday Night Widows:

“An agile novel, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying society.”—José Saramago,
winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
“A gripping story. The dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an as-
sassin but of Argentina’s class structure and the willful blindness of its petty
bourgeoisie.”—The Times Literary Supplement
“A fine morality tale which explores the dark places societies enter when they
place material comfort before social justice, and security before morality.”
Ines is convinced that every wife is bound to be betrayed one day, so she is not
surprised to find a note in her husband Ernesto’s briefcase with a heart smeared
in lipstick crossed by the words “All Yours” and signed, “Your true love.”
She follows him to a park on a rainy winter evening and witnesses a violent
quarrel he has with another woman. The woman collapses; Ernesto sinks her
body in a nearby lake. When Ernesto becomes a suspect in the case she pro-
vides him with an alibi. After all, hatred can bring people together as urgently

“And don’t miss Lumen by Ben Pastor. . . . An interesting, original, and mel-

Italy, September 1943. The Italian government switches sides and declares

Having survived hell on the Russian front, Wehrmacht major and aristo-
crat Baron Martin von Bora is sent to Verona. He is ordered to investigate
the murder of a prominent local fascist: a bizarre death threatening to dis-
credit the regime’s public image. The prime suspect is the victim’s twenty-
eight-year-old widow Clara.
Haunted by his record of opposition to SS policies in Russia, Bora must
watch his step. Against the backdrop of relentless anti-partisan warfare and FICTION

Black Balloon Publishing
Brooklyn, New York
Black Balloon books are risky but not gimmicky, whimsical but never light, intelligent but not precious.
We cater to writers who kick conventions curbside, who provoke without sentiment, who make the
despicable somehow appealing. We’re in the feeling business. We want jaws dropping, stomachs
twisting, eyes brimming. We’re out to horrify and delight, to unleash linguistic elegance that matters.
We cross genres willy-nilly—epic memoirs, stripped of psychology, then fictionalized. Food and
music expressed in song. Cities profiled with bizarre personalities. Tragedies crafted from a roll
call of jokes. We break and build forms, invent new languages, find beauty in violence, humor in
paralysis. We’re hyper, happy, and, yes, a bit sick.
We are small, on purpose—two to six books year. Every author enjoys the benefits of a personalized
publicist, customized sales strategy, interactive websites, book trailers, and all the vanguard media
tools available. We’re out to sell books, to verbally seduce—not to make obscure literary statements.
Our commitment to supporting authors extends to eBooks, phone apps, vooks, and interactive
collages. We are not Luddites. If folks prefer visual aids—maps of brains, architectural blueprints,
animated creatures swinging from jungle gyms—we’re not ones to withhold. We’re just happy people
are reading.

Poems from the Nursing Home
Janice N. Harrington
As people live longer, we face the challenges that come with caring for, and
living as, an aging population. This collection focuses on the sad, funny,
mundane reality of life in a nursing home. In her own words, Janice N.
Harrington worked her way through college as a nurses’ aide and wrote The
Hands of Strangers because she “cannot forget the ‘girls’ I worked with or the ‘resi-
dents’ under my care. I haven’t forgotten what I saw, heard, felt, or learned.”
Janice N. Harrington’s debut Even the Hollow My Body Made is Gone earned the

Kingdom Animalia
Aracelis Girmay
The poems in this highly anticipated second book are elegiac poems, as con-
cerned with honoring our dead as they are with praising the living. Through
Aracelis Girmay’s lens, everything is animal: the sea, a jukebox, the desert. In
these poems, everything possesses a system of desire, hunger, a set of teeth,
and language. These are poems about what is both difficult and beautiful
about our time here on earth.
Aracelis Girmay’s debut collection won the Great Lakes Colleges Association

University and Hampshire College. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. POETRY

To Assume a Pleasing Shape

Joseph Salvatore
A body-pierced goth girl cage-dances for a living while putting herself through
school. A New York City academic reevaluates her closest relationships while
considering breast-reduction surgery. A chatty Gulf War veteran is plagued
by a sexual identity crisis. The characters in this debut short story collec-
tion search for meaning through the crucible of sex. Joseph Salvatore’s top-
notch literary writing coaxes readers into murky territories as characters spiral
deeper into existential rabbit holes.

Carsten René Nieslen
Translated with an introduction by David Keplinger
“These poems do much more than blur the line between illusion and reality:
they evoke that vibrant contradiction of dreaming in which the real and unreal
exist in perfect simultaneity.”—The Georgia Review
Theatre
A man performs whole days from his life as a drama, each day at home in his apartment. He goes to
great lengths to be as realistic as possible, walking around the apartment and tending to day-to-day
business. Only at night, when he sits by himself in the kitchen, does he peek now and then at the win-
dow to glimpse his audience. He won’t completely abandon the notion that someone is out there. It’s
like when you stand on the landing, in front of a closed door, and you can’t help thinking that some-
one is watching through the peephole.
With a dozen poems previously published in The Paris Review, Carsten René
Nielsen is already a familiar name to US poetry readers. These dark prose
poems—reminiscent of Charles Simic—map out a uniquely European terri-
tory with chilling, cinematic clarity.
POETRY Award-winning Danish poet Carsten René Nielsen is the author of nine
November books of poetry, including his US debut The World Cut Out with Crooked Scissors
Lannan Translations Selection Series (2007). His poems appear in The Paris Review, Agni, Circumference, Mid-American

The Belgian Hammer
Forging Young Americans into Professional Cyclists
Daniel Lee
Foreword by George Hincapie
This is the story of what it takes for young Americans to make it in profes-
sional cycling. Only thirty-six Americans have competed in the Tour de France
since the world’s greatest bicycle race began in 1903. That’s not too many more
than the twelve Americans who have walked on the moon. It’s far fewer than
the more than 340 Americans who, as of 2006, had reached the summit of
Mount Everest.
For an American cyclist to break into professional European cycling and
reach the Tour de France is to scale a lofty mountain and venture into a strange
new world. But rising stars such as Lawson Craddock of Texas, Ben King of
Virginia, Taylor Phinney of Colorado, Cole House of Wisconsin, and Tyler
Farrar of Washington State are doing just that as they endure crashes, cold
rain, cobblestones, crosswinds, and culture shock on their road to cycling
stardom.
This is the story of the next generation—of riders not yet tainted by drug
scandals, of riders still bursting with hope and potential. This is the story
American cycling fans need right now.

And Then the Vulture Eats You
True Tales About Ultramarathons and Those Who Run Them
Second Edition
Edited by John L. Parker, Jr.
“It won’t matter whether or not you’ve attempted an ultra, or whether or not
you even dream of one. If you enjoy running and reading, you’ll want this
book.”—David Meyers, Running Journal
The best writers in the sport of running describe the last frontier of long-
distance events: races longer than a marathon.
James Shapiro begins by relating with heart-rending detail his experiences
in a six-day race in “Swifts on the Wing.” In “To the Limit and Beyond,”
Kenny Moore takes you through the Great Hawaiian Footrace, a horrendous
six-day ordeal that seemingly changes his life. Don Kardong, one of the wit-
tiest and most personable writers in the sport, in “Le Grizz” goes the fifty-
mile distance at the infamous race. Ed Ayres, former editor of Running Times,
takes on the Western States 100 in “Wings of Icarus,” and the event turns out
to be a kind of catharsis in his life. In “Road Warriors,” Hal Higdon’s report
on his group’s attempt to run across the state of Indiana is a lighthearted, self-
imposed challenge that turns into a spiritual odyssey. Tom Hart attempts to
run a solo thirty-seven-miler on his thirty-seventh birthday, which reveals
that an ultra is more than a feat of endurance, it is a journey into self. John L.

For a four-thousand-mile bicycle ride across America, Joe’s seven-year-old

The Realities of Cancer, Fish, and Demolition
Katherine Malmo
“Katherine Malmo has written an unflinching, unsentimental, profoundly

moving, wickedly funny . . . deeply courageous book detailing one woman’s
diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from inflammatory breast cancer. . . . [She
has] the power to reconnect us to that part of ourselves . . . that gritty, hu-
mored, resilient, unspeakably beautiful spark in the center of each of us that
knows only how to lock its jaws and hang on.”—Pam Houston
Based on autobiographic experiences, Who in This Room is a gripping collection

of creative nonfiction that pushes the boundaries of story and memoir. Kate’s
adventurous life is interrupted by a diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer,
giving her a ten percent chance of living five years. But her story isn’t just
about cancer. It is a true tale of survival that is both lived and dreamt. It’s about
joy found in lemon trees or fly-fishing. It’s about the survival instinct that
helps us re-emerge and engage with the world.

Joe Aisenberg
Released in 1976, Brian DePalma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie was

Joe Aisenberg’s dissection of Carrie is, amazingly, the first book-length criti-
cal study on this film ever released. In fact, so little has been written on Carrie
in a critical fashion that Joe found, to his delight and horror, that he had the
field pretty much all to himself. He has conducted new interviews with Brian
DePalma, screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen, and cast members, including cult
legend P.J. Soles, with an in-depth analysis of plot and influence.

Otaku Spaces
Patrick W. Galbraith
Photographs by Androniki Christodoulou
Otaku—nerd, über-fan, obsessive collector. Since the 1980s, the term has been
used to refer to fans of Japanese anime, manga, and video games. The word
appeared with no translation on the cover of the premier issue of Wired maga-
zine in 1993.
Patrick W. Galbraith has produced a groundbreaking work of reportage
that takes us beyond the stereotypes of “weird Japan” and into the private
rooms of self-described otaku. Interviews and more than fifty color photos re-
veal a seldom seen side of these reclusive Japanese collectors. They talk frankly
about their collections of blow-up dolls, comic books, military parapherna-
lia, anime videos, and more.
Galbraith follows the collectors to their favorite shops and shows how pub-
lic space in Japan is starting to mimic the look and feel of the otaku’s private
room. He also interviews Japan’s top cultural critics, helping to place otaku
culture in wider sociological and economic contexts. Galbraith broadens his
interview focus even further to include otaku from the United States and the
United Kingdom, forcing those of us who live in any hyper-consumerist cul-
ture to admit that we can and do have otaku tendencies. SOCIAL SCIENCE

Country of the Bad Wolfes
James Carlos Blake
“The novels of James Carlos Blake are reminiscent of Larry McMurtry’s Western
novels—only harsher and bloodier. Like Lonesome Dove’s creator, Blake favors
straight-talking, unschooled narrators who speak in a vivid, salty vernacular,
and his fiction is so readable—so folksy, action-packed, and earthy—it’s easy to
miss the fact that it is also, frequently, brilliant.”—Entertainment Weekly
James Carlos Blake is a master at weaving historical fact into fiction. Two gener-
ations of Wolfe men—begat by an English pirate in New Hampshire in 1828—
track their violent but manifest destiny through the Díaz regime in Mexico in
the early 1800s and back to Gulf Coast Texas. The novel centers on two sets
of identical “hero twins,” each with a violent history that mirrors the author’s
belief in the primacy of violence in the evolution of civilization. Their lives
are intertwined with important events through the history of Mexico, be-
ginning in the 1820s. Crucial are the histories of the infamous Saint Patrick’s
Battalion (revered in Mexico as “los San Patricios”) who deserted the US
Army during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848) and the rise and fall
of the Porfirio Díaz regime (1876–1910), which marked the beginning of the
Mexican Revolution. FICTION

My Marriage A to Z
A Big-City Romance
Elinor Nauen
Illustrations by Sophy Naess
You can put this little book by your bed, in the bathroom, in your pocket or
purse, wherever it’s easily at hand so you can consider the bits and pieces of
your relationship with your own beloved. The A to Z of this big city romance
is like a foamy broth of koans, coffee, smiles, and aspirin. It can cure a head-
ache and sweeten the heart, and the moral of the story is you can do it your-
self. The illustrations by Sophy Naess, like the work of Maira Kalman, reveal
one last ingredient of Elinor Nauen’s gumbo—quirky joy. Take for instance:
Beginning, in the. One day in 1983, I told my friend I was unable to read any-
thing but the tabloids. “Are you in love?” she said.
Sex. I wonder what he thinks about when we make love. One time last week I
started thinking about what socks I was going to wear the next day, but usually
I only think about him. I mean, I don’t even really think, I think.
Zaftig. This Yiddish word means deliciously plump and juicy, with a conno-
tation of, well, stacked. A dish, in other words, which is probably Y Johnny

Dear White America
Letter to a New Minority
Tim Wise
“Sparing neither family nor self . . . he considers how the deck has always been
stacked in his and other white people’s favor. . . . His candor is invigorating.”
“One of the most brilliant, articulate and courageous critics of white privilege
in the nation.”—Michael Eric Dyson
The old notion that “being white means never having to think about it” is
being challenged on all fronts as whites are increasingly having to wrestle with
what it means to be part of a fast-changing, culturally diverse nation. In Dear
White America Tim Wise directly addresses white people’s growing concerns
about political, cultural, and community-level shifts displacing their power
and privilege. Wise examines the perfect storm of events fueling white anxiety:
the election of a black president, economic insecurity at a level unseen by
whites as a group in seventy-five years, a popular culture that reflects the na-
tion’s growing multicultural reality, and demographic shifts that make it in-
creasingly difficult for whites—who have long been able to see themselves as the
prototypical American—to continue to view themselves as the norm. Through

Redefining Black Power
Reflections on the State of Black America
Edited by Joanne Griffith
Contributions by Van Jones, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr.,
Michelle Alexander, Vincent Hardy, and Ramona Africa
The Obama presidency represents a major milestone in black history and the
struggle for political, economic, and cultural equality in the United States.
But how—if at all—has the first black presidency helped move things for-
ward for people of color? Has it delivered the “change we can believe in”
and “deepening of democracy” that communities of color organized around?
What lessons from past struggles can be applied to this unique historical mo-
ment to advance multicultural democracy in the United States? To explore
these questions, BBC journalist Joanne Griffith interviews black intellectuals,
leaders, and activists and holds roundtable discussions in several communi-
ties around the country. The result is a rich and wide-ranging exploration of
the hot-button issues facing African Americans today, from religion and law
to education, the economy, and the ever-shifting meaning of Barack Obama’s
contribution and impact. Both timely and rich in personal wisdom, Redefining
Black Power connects the dots between past civil rights struggles and future of
black civic and cultural life in the United States.

Crusade 2.0
The West’s Unending War Against Islam
John Feffer
In his official response to the attacks of September 11, George W. Bush invoked
the Crusades, tapping into a centuries-long history of fear and aggression.
The West’s longstanding perception of Islam as a threat has taken on new and
more complex implications in the twenty-first century, as years of migration
and resulting demographic shifts have brought the “enemy” within Western
borders. Virulent opposition to the planned construction of an Islamic cen-
ter near the 9/11 attack site in New York City reveals much about the intensity
of public sentiments simmering just below the surface. As the United States
and countries across Europe struggle with a resurgence of unexamined fear
and antagonism, often directed against their own citizens, the imperative for
better understanding could not be greater.
Crusade 2.0 examines the resurgence of anti-Islamic sentiment in the West
and its global implications. John Feffer discusses the influence of three “un-
finished wars”—the Crusades, the Cold War, and the current “war on terror.”
He presents a timely, concise, and provocative look at current events in the
context of historical trends and goes beyond a “clash of civilizations” critique
to offer concrete ways to defuse the ticking bomb of Islamophobia. POLITICAL SCIENCE

Los Angeles Stories
Ry Cooder
Los Angeles Stories is a collection of loosely linked, noir-ish tales that evoke a by-
gone era in one of America’s most iconic cities. In post-World War II Los
Angeles, as power was concentrating and fortunes were being made, a do-it-
yourself culture of cool cats, outsiders, and oddballs populated the old down-
town neighborhoods of Bunker Hill and Chavez Ravine. Ordinary working
folks rubbed elbows with petty criminals, grifters, and all sorts of women at
foggy end-of-the-line outposts in Venice Beach and Santa Monica.
Rich with the essence and character of the times, suffused with the pa-
tois of the city’s underclass, these are stories about the common people of Los
Angeles, “a sunny place for shady people,” and the strange things that happen
to them. Musicians, gun shop owners, streetwalkers, tailors, door-to-door
salesmen, drifters, housewives, dentists, pornographers, new arrivals, and
hard-bitten denizens all intersect in cleverly plotted stories that center around
some kind of shadowy activity. This quirky love letter to a lost way of life will
appeal to fans of hard-boiled fiction and anyone interested in the city itself.
Ry Cooder is a world-famous guitarist, singer, and composer known for his

slide guitar work, interest in roots music, and more recently for his collabo-
rations with traditional musicians from many countries, including The Buena FICTION / SHORT STORIES
Vista Social Club. He has composed soundtracks for more than twenty films, October
including Paris, Texas. Two recent albums were accompanied by stories Cooder City Lights Noir
wrote to accompany the music. This is his first published collection of stories. 5¼ x 8 | 224 pp

More Notes of a Dirty Old Man
The Uncollected Columns
Charles Bukowski
Edited by David Stephen Calonne
After toiling in obscurity for years, Charles Bukowski suddenly found fame
in 1967 with his autobiographical newspaper column, “Notes of a Dirty Old
Man,” and a book of that name in 1969. He continued writing this column, in
one form or another, through the mid-1980s. More Notes of a Dirty Old Man gath-
ers many uncollected gems from the column’s twenty-year run. Drawn from
ephemeral underground publications, these stories and essays haven’t been
seen in decades, making More a valuable addition to Bukowski’s oeuvre. Filled
with his usual obsessions—sex, booze, gambling—More features Bukowski’s
offbeat insights into politics and literature, his tortured, violent relation-
ships with women, and his lurid escapades on the poetry reading circuit.
Highlighting his versatility, the book ranges from thinly veiled autobiography
to purely fictional tales of dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians,
and down-and-out sports promoters, climaxing with a long, hilarious adven-
ture among French filmmakers, “My Friend the Gambler,” based on his expe-
riences making the movie Barfly. From his lowly days at the post office through
his later literary fame, More follows the entire arc of Bukowski’s colorful career.

Coach House Books
Ontario, Canada
There’s a laneway in downtown Toronto named after a poet: bpNichol Lane. Tucked away on that
back alley is a crumbling old garage—a coach house—and inside it are two Heidelberg printing
presses, an Autominabinda binder, and a big guillotine-like cutter. Passing through those machines
is a gorgeous, antique-colored laid paper called Zephyr. And on that paper sits some of the most
intriguing lines and sentences you’ll ever encounter.
“To say that Coach House ‘publishes’ books would be to diminish the magic of what really happens
within the old brick walls on bpNichol Lane,” says The Globe and Mail of our publishing program. It’s
true. Our books are handsome, but they’ve got personality and wit too—they are, like our building, a
little off the beaten path: innovative poetry, brazen fiction, provocative nonfiction.
Every one of our books is a little portable piece of bpNichol Lane’s magic. For a taste, try out
Christian Bök’s bestselling, Griffin Prize–winning Eunoia, or a New York Times’ Top 100 selection,
Lisa Robertson’s Magenta Soul Whip. Or the internationally acclaimed All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew
Kaufman. Or My Winnipeg, by visionary filmmaker Guy Maddin. We’ve got a swath of award nominations
to our name—Griffins, Trilliums, Commonwealths, Lambdas, and more—and a stockpile of laudatory
press, like NewPages’ claim that our books offer “a reason to read. A reason to write. A reason to
believe in poetry.” Heck, Bookforum called us “the most esteemed literary house in Canada.” But we
don’t let it go to our heads; we, and our Heidelbergs, just keep on beavering away in our little coach
house to bring you the most unexpected, delicious, carnival-ride-like books we can find.

you crave more.”—Vancouver Sun

His unicorn- and virginity-obsessed classmate Faraday is shattered; she wishes

Praise for Sean Dixon:

“Energetic. . . . Full of sound and fury.”—Kirkus Review
“Reminiscent of the kind of irrepressibly mischievous and literary novels that
John Barth used to write. Call it populist poindexterism.”—Quill & Quire
It all started with a black rose and a rich young man. And a house with a creek
running through it. And then there she was, Kip Flynn, standing beside her
boyfriend’s dead body and agreeing to take a large sum of money from the
young man’s father to keep quiet. As if she could have done anything else,
being so scared and grief-stricken and maybe pregnant.
But that’s not the end of it. You see, there’s some kind of connection be-
tween Kip and this rich developer’s son that keeps them tight in one another’s
orbit. So when Kip awakens from her grief, intent on revenge, they find
themselves pursuing one another with a ferocity they can barely understand,
one that spirals outward, with subway accidents and arson and drainpipes and
backhoe wars, to envelop roommates, two guilty fathers, a window-cleaner or
two, landlords, family secrets, a Vietnamese gangster, a stand-up bass player and
an activist tour guide. And concluding in the subterranean heart of Toronto
itself, which, like Kip, is torn between vengefulness and growth. FICTION

Li’l Bastard
David McGimpsey
“McGimpsey displays erudition, clever insights and a knack for the wickedly
funny wisecrack.”—The Washington Post
Melding the deeply personal and the culturally popular, Li’l Bastard is confes-
sional poetry as written by a chronic trickster and a committed liar. Written
in part as an homage to John Berryman and Robert Lowell, this sequence
of sixteen-line poems—“chubby sonnets”—explores the poet’s obsessions
(food, aging, baseball, beer, and Barnaby Jones) and map his midlife crisis on
a wild flight through Montreal, Chicago, Nashville, Texas, and Los Angeles.
Poignant and often achingly funny, Li’l Bastard will cement David McGimpsey’s
POETRY status as a beloved original.

Hypotheticals
Leigh Kotsilidis
Science is a useful metaphor for understanding our lives, but it is often shown
to be as fallible as the flawed humans who lean on it. This lively, thoughtful,
and refreshingly speculative debut collection turns scientific method around
to question science’s faith in certainty, exploring the alternate meaning of
“hypothetical” as something that is merely “supposed to be true.” Under the
poet’s wide-angled, open-hearted gaze, scientific investigation begins to mir-
ror the dark art of poetry, reinforcing what we believe about ourselves one
minute, then abruptly throwing everything into question.
Leigh Kotsilidis lives in Montreal, Quebec, where she works as a freelance POETRY
graphic designer while completing her MFA in studio arts. January

Croak
Jenny Sampirisi
Croak is a frog-and-girl opera in three parts, played out like a YouTube mashup
of mid-century cartoons set to a contemporary pop song. It parades, muti-
lates, and reacquaints Kermit the Frog with Girl 00010111, Michigan J. Frog
with Aristophanes, and biblical plagues with caged canaries in a vaudevillian
play of time, culture, gender, and narrative. Combining vivisection and
classical literature, empirical observation and philosophical speculation,
Jenny Sampirisi’s grotesque characters splash and sparkle before moving
toward their inevitable narrative end.
Jenny Sampirisi is the managing editor of BookThug and co-director of the POETRY
Toronto New School of Writing. She is the author of the novel is/was. February

dence. In them, we recognize our grand, saddened century.

A Complete Encyclopedia of

Gabe Foreman
A Complete Encyclopedia of Different Types of People is not your average reference book.
It turns a series of sociological case studies into a functional encyclopedia
that doubles as an achingly funny collection of poems. “Bridesmaids,” “Day
Traders,” and “Number Crunchers” are all dutifully cataloged in a series of lu-
minously strange, compellingly original lyric and prose poems.

Match
Helen Guri
Robert Brand has given up on real women. Relationships just haven’t ever
worked out well for him. He has, however, found a (somewhat problematic)
solution, a new feminine ideal: the 110-pound sex doll he ordered over the
internet. Showing an uncanny access to the voice of the rejected, unimpres-
sive, emotionally challenged modern male, Helen Guri’s debut collection ex-
plores Robert’s transition from lost and lonely to loved.

The Brave Never Write Poetry

Daniel Jones
First published in 1985, The Brave Never Write Poetry, the lone collection of poems
by critic/novelist Daniel Jones (1959–1994), was a cult hit. Written in a di-
rect, plainspoken, autobiographical, and at times confessional style in the tra-
dition of Charles Bukowski and Al Purdy, these confrontational poems about
sex and boredom, drugs and suicide, document Jones’ depressive, alcoholic
years as an enfant terrible.

Interview by Michael Ondaatje
When the iconoclastic auteur of The Saddest Music in the World decided to tackle the
subject of his hometown, it could only have become a “docufantasia,” a mé-

companion includes the text of his narration wantonly annotated with an ava-

Eunoia
Christian Bök
Winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize.
“Jaw-droppingly powerful, a mythology of sound.”—Publishers Weekly
“Eunoia,” which means “beautiful thinking,” is the shortest English word to
contain all five vowels. Each chapter of Eunoia is a univocal lipogram—the first
chapter has A as its only vowel, the second chapter E, etc. Stunning in its im-
plications and masterful in its execution, Eunoia has developed a cult following.

Sam Savage
“Sam Savage has become one of America’s funniest, cleverest, and most vital
writers of fiction.”—Michael Schaub, Bookslut
Tasked with writing a preface to a reissue of her late husband’s long-out-of-

print novel, Edna is unexpectedly asked to take care of a vacationing neigh-
bor’s pet rat, fish, and potted plants. Sitting at her typewriter day after day,
Edna becomes lost in a Proustian marathon of introspection, mixing philo-
sophical reflection and humor with minute accounts of her daily life. What
unfolds, as if by accident, is the story of a marriage and a portrait of a mind
pushed to its limits by the emptiness of the hours and the pain of memory.
The reader is never certain if Edna’s preface is an homage to her late hus-
band or an act of belated revenge. Is she the cultured victim of a crass and bru-
tally ambitious husband, or is Edna neurotic and delusional?
The unforgettable characters in Sam Savage’s two previous hit novels Firmin
and The Cry of the Sloth garnered worldwide critical acclaim. In Edna, once
again Savage has created a character marked by contradiction—simultaneously
appealing and exasperating, comical and tragic.

Leaving the Atocha Station
Ben Lerner
Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on

a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self
and his relationship to art. Instead of following the dictates of his fellowship,
Adam’s “research” becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in
the arts and beyond: are his relationships with the people he meets in Spain
as fraudulent as he fears his poems are? Is poetry an essential art form, or is
it merely a projection of our desired interpretations? A witness to the 2004
Madrid train bombings and their aftermath, does he participate in historic
events or merely watch them pass him by?
In prose that veers between the comic and tragic, the self-contemptuous
and the inspired, Leaving the Atocha Station is a portrait of the artist as a young man
in an age of Google searches, pharmaceuticals, and spectacle.
Born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979, Ben Lerner holds a BA in political sci-

ence and an MFA in creative writing from Brown University and teaches at
Brooklyn College. The author of three books of poetry, The Lichtenberg Figures,
Angle of Yaw, and Mean Free Path, Lerner has been a finalist for the National Book
Award and the Northern California Book Award and was a Fulbright Scholar

Sleight
Kirsten Kaschock
Sisters Lark and Clef have spent their lives honing their bodies for sleight,
an interdisciplinary art form that combines elements of dance, architecture,
acrobatics, and spoken word. After being estranged for several years, the sis-
ters are reunited by a deceptive and ambitious sleight troupe director named
West who needs the sisters’ opposing approaches to the form—Lark is tor-
mented and fragile, but a prodigy; Clef is driven to excel, but lacks the spark
of artistic genius.
When a disturbing mass murder makes national headlines, West seizes
on the event as inspiration for his new performance, one that threatens to
destroy the very artists performing it.
In language that is at once unsettling and hypnotic, Sleight explores ideas of
performance, gender, and family to ask the question: what is the role of art in
the face of unthinkable tragedy?
Kirsten Kaschock has earned degrees from Yale University, the University
of Iowa, Syracuse University, and the University of Georgia. The author of
two collections of poetry, Unfathoms and A Beautiful Name for a Girl, she resides in

Laird Hunt
Introduction by Percival Everett
“Innovative, comic, bizarre and beautiful, The Impossibly reads as if Donald

Barthelme were channeling Alain Robbe-Grillet, Samuel Beckett, Ben Marcus
and reruns of Get Smart.”—Time Out New York

organization that employs him, everyone in his life becomes a participant in
his punishment. In the end, he is called out of retirement for a final assign-
ment: to seek and identify his own assassin. This edition includes an intro-
duction by Percival Everett, an afterword by the author, and a “lost chapter.”
Called “one of the most talented young writers on the American scene today”
by Paul Auster, Laird Hunt is the author of four genre-bending novels and

Quincy Troupe
“Troupe is an innovator of form and tone who shifts quickly from a lofty, ele-
giac mode into burlesque or smoky, jazzed-down pop phraseology.”—Publishers
Weekly
“Troupe’s poems are exuberant and passionate outpourings with driving, syn-
copated rhythms and improvisatory riffs of colorful language.”—Star Tribune
Coined with the French word errance (to wander) in mind, these poems rove
from ancient Yoruba to the streets of Harlem to the tropical heat of Guadeloupe
and emerge with a new vocabulary for the transformations of the physical, phil-
osophical, and musical worlds. Known for his long, lyrical narrative poems
and invocation of the oral tradition, Quincy Troupe captures the histories and
deaths of Michael Jackson and Miles Davis, celebrating both their accomplish-
ments and contradictions. This collection embraces the improvisation of a soul
as it offers a paean to the possibilities of poetry.
The author of eight volumes of poetry, Quincy Troupe has also collaborated
with Chris Gardner on The Pursuit of Happyness, which was made into a major
motion picture, and with Miles Davis on Miles: The Autobiography. His friendship POETRY
with Miles Davis is chronicled in Miles and Me. Troupe has also recently pub- February

DIES IRAE
Photographs by Paolo Pellegrin
Contribution by Roberto Koch
Throughout his career, Paolo Pellegrin received innumerable international

prizes and awards that are indicative of how the strength and intelligence of
his works can live through time as parts of a greater, coherent, and univer-
sal picture.
Pellegrin represents a new generation of photographers aware of the mod-
ern means of production and distribution of images at their disposal. They
offer a new way to look at the facts they document, always maintaining their
ethics in the form and methods of their job.
Pellegrin always uses a metaphor to speak about his job: photography to
him is like a language we wish to learn; an unfamiliar language, perhaps of
an unknown stock, whose mystery fascinates and draws us towards it. Little by
little the mystery reveals its features, allowing those who work with it (the pho-
tographers) to use it as a prop to tell stories. Pellegrin has narrated many of
them. At times these stories were harsh, even tragic, and spoke of war, deten-
tion, and natural disasters. He approached each and every one of them with-
out judging, following with his eyes what was happening around him in order
to interpret it in the light of his extensive experience as a journalist. PHOTOGRAPHY

Songs of Unreason
Jim Harrison
“His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a still-ravenous appe-
tite for life.”—The Texas Observer
“The great American writer is at it again, his voice as clear, bighearted, and
caustic as ever.”—Star Tribune
Jim Harrison’s compelling and provocative Songs of Unreason explores what

it means to inhabit the world in atavistic, primitive, and totemistic ways.
“This can be disturbing to the learned,” Harrison admits. Using inter-
connected suites, brief lyrics, and rollicking narratives, Harrison’s passions
and concerns—creeks, thickets, time’s effervescence, familial love—emerge by
turns painful and celebratory, localized and exiled.
From “Broom”:
To remember that you’re alive
visit the cemetery of your father
at noon after you’ve made love
and are still wrapped in a mammalian
odor that you are forced to cherish.
Under each stone is someone’s inevitable
surprise, the unexpected death

—The New York Times Book Review
“One of the lasting literary signatures of our time.”—Library Journal, starred review
“Carruth, like Whitman, like Chaucer, is large—he contains multitudes. Dip
into his work anywhere, and there is life—and death—as stirringly felt and

W.S. Di Piero
“With language that’s as simple as it is musical, Di Piero sets dazzling moments

amid plainsong.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Di Piero’s poems throb with the intensity of urban life, buried anger, and old
griefs that still ache.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Di Piero hopes to evoke something of the true mystery of present and re-
called experience, and his poems powerfully enact this desire.”—The Philadelphia
Inquirer
W.S. Di Piero marries a streetwise, working-class sensibility to an intellec-

tual rigor and precise language in poems that stare down depression, failed
love, and urban nightlife. In a fast-paced, half-cracked/half-sane style rem-
iniscent of bebop solos, Di Piero forges masterful poems that “keep it close,
loose, and sweaty,” and restore life’s intensity while showing where real hope
might be found.

We Almost Disappear
David Bottoms
“David Bottoms’s poems just get better and better.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Evocative images, searching irony, and meditative poise.” —Library Journal
Rooted in the customs of Southern families and peopled with undertakers,

bluegrass musicians, daughters practicing karate, and elderly parents, David
Bottoms’ poems are generous, insightful, and lean headlong into familial wis-
dom. Past and present interweave with grandmothers spitting tobacco juice,
ponds “filled with construction runoff,” and the boyhood home-site paved
over for a KFC. This is Bottoms’ most personal and heartbreaking book.
From “My Daughter Works the Heavy Bag”:

A bow to the instructor,
then fighting stance, and the only girl in karate class faces the heavy bag.
Small for fifth grade—willow-like, says her mother—
sweaty hair tangled like blown willow branches.
The boys try to ignore her. They fidget against the wall, smirk,

Nine Acres
Nathaniel Perry
Introduction by Marie Howe
Selected by Marie Howe from over one thousand submissions, Nine Acres is the
winner of the American Poetry Review/APR Honickman First Book Prize. Taking
their titles from chapters of a 1930s small-scale farming handbook, the fifty-
two poems in this cycle create a handbook for living and explore sustainability
on many levels—on the land, in the family, and in the spirit.
As Marie Howe writes in her introduction to the book, “Nathanial Perry
has collected poems into this book as one plants a field, as an act of husbandry:
each line a furrow where seeds flourish or fail. Husbandry—to create a dwell-
ing place and to care for it—these are the ancient acts.”

Work, Play and Conflict In the Third World
Photographs and essays by Ben Barber
Introduction by Andrew Natsios
Ben Barber visited the third world after college, in the late 1960s and 1970s,
as a poet and a traveler from Morocco to India. He studied journalism and
returned to the third world in 1980 as a reporter and photographer for The
Observer, USA Today, and other papers. Editors pushed him to report on war,
disease, conflict, hunger, refugees, and endless tragedy. But he found another
side: decent, hard-working, loving, and generous people from Marrakesh to
Cairo to Jerusalem to Teheran to Kabul and beyond.
This book captures, through Barber’s photos and short stories, the deeper
streams of life flowing in countries where the future of our planet is being
written. All who seek to avoid future conflicts and to understand these coun-
tries will enjoy this book.
Ben Barber has been a foreign correspondent for twenty-three years. His ar-
ticles and photos have appeared in The Christian Science Monitor, The Observer, The
Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, Foreign Affairs,
The Atlantic, Salon.com, and other publications. From 1994 to 2002 he was
State Department bureau chief for The Washington Times. From 2002 to 2010 he
was senior writer for the US Agency for International Development where he
was editor in chief of the USAID newspaper FrontLines. He is currently a con- PHOTOGRAPHY

Half Life
Michael Ackerman
Introduction by Denis Kambouchner
According to Denis Kambouchner’s introduction, Half Life is a haunted book.

It is certainly disturbing; in Michael Ackerman’s world, something is disinte-
grating. The landscapes are harsh and unwelcoming, but it is the anguish of
individuals that stirs us most deeply—their expressions of distress and confu-
sion, their unfinished gestures, the sense of damage. These are people who
appear to live in the ruins of a drama. It is as if their whole bodies were given
over to a scream.

This Is Not A House

Edgar Martins
Edgar Martins was initially commissioned by The New York Times to photograph
the fallout from the US subprime mortgage crisis. Extending the project, he
photographed across the United States in eight separate states and across six-
teen different locations. These carefully researched sites exposed the extent
and impact of the crisis on the US construction industry. Approaching the
project as a photographic intervention into a crisis, the resulting images go be-
yond pure formal investigation or documentation. His interest is in summon-
ing a disquieting conjunction of realism and fiction—“cutting in to the real.”

America and the
Imperialism of Ignorance
How America Won the War and Lost the Peace—
US Foreign Policy Since 1945
Andrew Alexander
A scathing analysis of six decades of American foreign policy drawing on
new archive material and research, America and the Imperialism of Ignorance offers a
unique perspective on the recent wars in Iraq and Afganistan. Journalist and
historian Andrew Alexander demonstrates how America’s war-like reaction
to global events since the end of World War II have been knee-jerk, unneces-
sary, and largely counterproductive. He argues that the entire Cold War was a
red herring—the United States and her puppet states setting out to counter a
Russian expansionism that never truly existed.
Using newly translated Russian archive documents and material from the
Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars, Alexander dissects this
“shoot first” tendency in American foreign policy through US involvement
and intervention in wars throughout the second part of the twentieth cen-
tury and up to the present day situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. He argues
that American attitudes have proved wretchedly consistent since 1945. War is
no longer the last resort of diplomacy but an early option. Nothing has been
learnt from Vietnam with all its parallels with Afghanistan.

Smersh
Stalin’s Secret Weapon
Vadim J. Birstein, PhD
In the early James Bond novels 007 is pitched against Smersh, a top secret
Soviet agency dedicated to the subversion of the West and the assassination of
Western spies. Bond’s creator Ian Fleming took his inspiration from life, but
the real Smersh was far more savage than Bond’s fictional nemesis.
An abbreviation for the Russian words “Death to spies,” Smersh was the
Soviet counterintelligence organization dedicated to the elimination of anti-
communist activity during World War II. Smersh was Stalin’s wartime terror
apparatus—a collection of torturers and killers unleashed with brutal affect in
1943 to cut a bloody swath of death across Eastern Europe. Its job was to “fil-
ter” the Red Army for spies. It was responsible for the arrest, torture, and
execution of many thousands of innocent servicemen and citizens of coun-
tries occupied by the Red Army. Among its victims was Raoul Wallenberg,
the Swedish businessman who saved as many as 100,000 Jews from the
Holocaust. Vadim J. Birstein reveals new evidence suggesting Wallenberg was
shot as a spy in 1947.
Despite its significant role during and after the war (it was charged with
finding Hitler and did so), Smersh is almost unknown outside Russia. Partly
HISTORY because its savagery casts a shadow even today, partly because of the complete
December secrecy that surrounded its existence. In Smersh: Stalin’s Secret Weapon, Birstein

In the struggle against terrorism post 9/11, the United States developed ren-

in violation of international standards to which successive American adminis-

down his teachings?
• “Passover” celebrates God killing all firstborn Egyptian kids while
Jewish homes were “passed over” by the angel of death?
• Shinto, a nature-loving, mellow religion, was transformed by
the Japanese government into a nationalistic ideology promoting
“holy” war?

capstone. The capstone has engravings on all four of its sides in four differ-
ent ancient languages, all of which read, “Let these be guidestones to an Age
of Reason,” when translated. The major stones are each engraved on both
sides, and each side contains text in one of eight modern languages asserting
the same ten guidelines.
Those guidelines have proven extremely controversial, causing speculation
and rumors of conspiracy that go far beyond northeast Georgia.
Conspiracy theorists surmise a global plot on the part of a group of shadowy
men to subjugate and oppress the world’s population and create a “new world
order.” Others believe that the man behind the monument was a Rosicrucian,
and that the stones are representative of that group’s magical manifesto. Some
people even believe that it is a landing site for an alien spacecraft of some
kind. At the heart of this confusion is the missing piece of the puzzle: who was
the mystery man who started the entire chain of events?

Women Writers on the Male Sexual Experience
Edited by Stacy Bierlein, Gina Frangello,

“This thick volume is both beautiful and intriguing—artist’s portfolio, con-
cept book, and word book rolled into one.”—The Horn Book Magazine
Mother and father, dancers and warriors, gardener and farmer, hypnotist
and genie. . . . All sorts of people appear in People, linked together in ways
that begin to emerge page after page. Real, mythic, and imaginary types in-
habit this extraordinary, gorgeously rendered world, referring to each other
through form and function. Like Blexbolex’s earlier book Seasons, this is a con-
ceptual book, where the connections between the images are both clear and
subtle.
Stunningly illustrated with retro-looking silkscreened images, People is a
sumptuously produced volume, with a lavishly illustrated jacket that folds out
into a poster. The manner of the realization and the quality of the book are so
strong that People (as did Seasons) serves to reminds us once again what a book

Stalin’s Man in Canada
Fred Rose and Soviet Espionage
David Levy
The key role played by Canadian Communist Fred Rose in atomic espionage
is explained here for the first time. Born in Lublin, Poland, in 1907, he came
to Montreal with his parents, joined the Young Communist League, and was
elected National Secretary in 1929. A secret member of Gaik Ovakimyan’s
North American NKVD network, he worked with Jacob Golos, Elizabeth
Bentley’s employer, in securing Canadian passports for Soviet agents. In 1943
Rose was elected to the federal Canadian parliament from a working class dis-
trict in Montreal.
In September 1945, Soviet embassy clerk Igor Gouzenko defected with
documents that revealed an elaborate espionage operation to acquire American
atomic research. Fred Rose was a major player in the scheme. Rose was found
guilty of conspiring to turn over information about the explosive RDX to the
Soviets and was sentenced to a six-year prison term.
He returned to his native Poland in 1953 and died in Warsaw in 1983, a
disillusioned witness to the collapse of the Leninist vision he’d lived by.
David Levy is a film historian and producer. This is his first work of espio-
nage nonfiction.

Fascist Italy has received far too little attention in the military history of the

It details the fascist dictator’s attempt to build both a Mediterranean em-
pire and Balkan empire, as well as a narrative history of his tragically flawed
illusions; Italy’s disastrous military performance; the heroism of Italian sol-
diers, sailors, and airmen; and the brutal counterinsurgency programs. Italy’s

aptitude and results judged, and relations with the Axis partner described.

Cold Angel
Murder in Berlin—1949
Horst Bosetzky
Translated by Catherine Dop Miller
Two people disappear in the ruins of the former German capital and body
parts suddenly surface in both the eastern and western half of the city. An in-
visible curtain divides the ruins.
Competing administrations struggle with mounting ferocity. The ruined
buildings and devastated landscape provide a perfect backdrop to more vio-
lence and cruel brutality.
Based on true facts and extensive sociological research, Cold Angel is a chill-
ing tale. Amid this chaotic landscape, can perpetrators be found, let alone
brought to justice? In 1944 Berlin is a city divided by rubble.

Alphabet of Masks
Dmitri Birman
Translated by Antonia W. Bouis and Bela Shayevich
Alphabet of Masks is a collection of short stories and poems written on a mobile

Dmitri Birman shows us how today’s Russians straddle their Soviet past and
their capitalist future in order to survive.
The stories are wry, humorous, and sexually frank; the poems lyrical and
elegiac about the narrator and his friends. The anti-Semitic reality of school
bullies and army conscription, the adolescent yearning for classmates and
teaching assistants, the Soviet dream of world travel and luxury consumption—
all are part of the book, while the poetry resonates as variations on a theme.

Body of a Dancer
Renée E. D’Aoust
“Renée D’Aoust’s writing is sharp and funny, twisting and turning through
the mind’s eye like the many dancers she so adroitly conjures. Her sentences
thrum with life, propelled by felicities of tone, rhythm, and pacing. The
woman throws a mean sucker punch.”—Claudia La Rocco, dance critic
“A remarkably clear-eyed descent into New York’s surreal world of modern
dance peopled by the obsessed, dispossessed, sexy, suicidal, brutal, broke, and
absurd.”—Lance Olsen, author of Nietzsche’s Kisses
The award-winning writer Renée E. D’Aoust draws from her experiences as a

modern dancer in New York during the nineties. Her luminous prose spot-
lights this passionate, often brutal world. Trained at the prestigious Martha
Graham Center, D’Aoust intertwines accounts of her own and other dancers’
lives with essays on modern dance history. A dancer’s body, scarred, strained,
and tough, bears witness to the discipline demanded by the art form. Body of a
Dancer provides a powerful, acidly comic record of what it is to love, and even-
tually leave, a life centered on dance.

Review
“The most interesting American poet writing today, the least predictable and
most challenging.”—David Caplan, Pleiades
Our work (as writers) is not the pursuit of fame and fortune, not self-expression, not creativity, not
therapy, not publication, unless and exactly insofar as those further rational discourse. Our work is to
recognize and declare the equal standing of all persons before the truth.
In his explorations into matters both minute and vast, H.L. Hix further en-

The New All-American Family
David Marin
It was no mystery why California had 98,000 children stuck in foster care. There were not 98,003
because I was stubborn.
When David Marin fell in love with three children desperately in need of a
home, there was only one thing he could do. Give up the life of a single guy
and learn about parenting—from how to carve a Halloween pumpkin to what
makes up a Happy Meal. In the process, he found the future he had always
wanted, but he also learned some hard lessons about single-parent adoption,
the Kafkaesque side of Social Services, and America’s anti-immigrant senti-
ment: “All facts aside, I wanted to help my children see through the darkness,
past their past. I’d give them a chance to rebound, like me. After all, it’s never
too late to have a happy childhood.”
His journey, and the deeply moving story behind the children’s lives, il-
lustrates that even if society isn’t colorblind, love can be. It also proves that
fathers love their children as much as mothers do and that families like his—
happy, secure, and multi-ethnic—represent our single greatest hope.

Intimate Wars
The Life and Times of the Woman Who Brought Abortion
from the Back Alley to the Boardroom
Merle Hoffman
Merle Hoffman’s life story is riveting. A former classical pianist, a self-made

millionaire, and a feminist who found her life’s work providing abortions, she
has been a fearless crusader for women’s right to choose.
Over the years, Hoffman has used her entrepreneurial spirit to build one
of the most comprehensive women’s medical centers in the country. In 1971
(two years before the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion
nationally), Hoffman founded Choices, an abortion clinic in New York. As a
medical provider, she pioneered “patient power,” encouraging women to par-
ticipate in their own health care decisions. And going against even her own
expectations for her life after fifty, she adopted a child and writes about her
experience as a mother.
Whether addressing the murder of abortion providers like Dr. George
Tiller or challenging women to understand their own power over their bod-
ies and the language used to wield such power, Merle Hoffman has been on the
front lines of the feminist movement, a fierce warrior in the battle for choice.
Merle Hoffman is an award-winning journalist, activist, and women’s health SOCIAL SCIENCE /
care pioneer. In 1971, she founded Choices, one of the first ambulatory abor- BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY

A Taste of Molecules
Combine Nectar with a Pinch of Science, Stir Gently
Diane Fresquez
Is there a gender difference between women and men when it comes to bad
smells? It turns out there is. And what happens when you secretly experiment
on a group of scientists during a dinner eaten completely in the dark? Read
and find out. A food writer for the The Wall Street Journal, Diane Fresquez spent
a year on the trail of obsessive scientists and entrepreneurs who are trying to
titillate our taste buds.
In this lively sprint through foods and flavors, she explores the passionate
young people working to uncover the truths about taste, including a brewery
owner/scientist who’s developed a banana-flavored beer meant to appeal to
young women, and another who won’t rest until he develops the perfect mead,
the ancient liquor that has been called the ancestor of all fermented drinks. In
between we meet a young mother and PhD student whose research shows that
what a mother eats can influence the flavor of her breast milk, and possibly aid
weaning; and a scientist in the Netherlands who does research on flavor and
memory at an Orwellian university lab called the Restaurant of the Future.

Tango
My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels
Justin Vivian Bond
Preface by Hilton Als
“Bond’s fabulosity is matched by a trenchant wit, and [V’s] over-the-top stories

are smartly edged with politics, sexual or otherwise.”—The New York Times
Hailed as “the greatest cabaret artist of [V’s] generation” in The New Yorker, Mx.
Justin Vivian Bond makes a brilliant literary debut with this candid and hilari-
ous novella-length memoir.
With a recent diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, and news that Bond’s
first lover from childhood has been imprisoned for impersonating an un-
dercover police officer, Bond recalls in vivid detail coming of age as a trans
kid. Always haunted by the knowledge of being “different,” Bond was fur-
ther confused when the bully next door wanted to meet secretly. Their trysts
went on for years, and made Bond acutely aware of sexual power and vulner-
ability. With inimitable style, Bond raises issues about LGBTQ adolescence,
homophobia, parenting, and sexuality, while being utterly entertaining.
Singer, songwriter, and Tony-nominated performer Mx. Justin Vivian Bond

Whatever Is Contained
Must Be Released
My Jewish Orthodox Girlhood, My Life as a Feminist Artist
Helène Aylon
Helène Aylon was a good Jewish girl raised in orthodox Brooklyn, married to
a rabbi, and mother of two when her world split apart. A widow at thirty, she
broke free of tradition to become an eco-feminist artist whose work deals in
transgressive images about war and peace, women’s bodies, women and god,
and the deeply religious world that continues to influence her work to this day.
This memoir is a charming dash through the years of a structured ortho-
dox life and the artistic life that freed her to question the misogyny of her be-
loved religion. It is also a tell-all about the art world, with fascinating details
about luminaries such as Ana Mendieta, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, and
Betty Parsons.
Examples of Aylon’s work included are her early doors for the Jewish cha-
pel at JFK airport, her peace pillowcases (including one worn by Grace Paley),
and her current search for the links between feminism and Judaism.
Helène Aylon is a visual, conceptual, and installation artist and eco-feminist

whose work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum and the Jewish
Museum in New York, the Aldrich Museum in Connecticut, and the Hammer BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Museum in Los Angeles, among many others. She has upcoming exhibitions March
at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the National Museum of Jewish Women Writers

Women Without Men
A Novel of Modern Iran
Second Edition
Shahrnush Parsipur
Preface by Shirin Neshat
Translated by Faridoun Farrokh
“Using the techniques of both the fabulist and the polemicist, Parsipur con-
tinues her protest against traditional Persian gender relations in this charm-
ing, powerful novella.”—Publishers Weekly
A modern literary masterpiece, Women Without Men creates an evocative and power-
fully drawn allegory of life in contemporary Iran. Internationally acclaimed
writer Shahrnush Parsipur follows the interwoven destinies of five women—
including a prostitute, a wealthy middle-aged housewife, and a schoolteacher—
as they arrive by different paths to live together in a garden in Tehran.
Shortly after the 1989 publication of Women Without Men in her native Iran,
Parsipur was arrested and jailed for her frank and defiant portrayal of wom-
en’s sexuality.
This volume is the first author-approved translation of Women Without Men.
Sharhnush Parsipur is the author of Touba and the Meaning of Night, among many

Zora Neale Hurston
Edited and afterword by Alice Walker
Introduction by Mary Helen Washington
“One of the greatest writers of our time.”—Toni Morrison

“This well-made collection of her work . . . should give momentum to the re-
discovery of Hurston as ‘the intellectual and spiritual foremother of a gener-
ation of black women writers.’”—The Washington Post Book Review
Known for her audacity and inimitable style, Zora Neale Hurston is widely
acknowledged as the forerunner for writers such as Toni Morrison and Alice
Walker. This anthology draws together superb selections from her essays,
short stories, journalism, folklore, and autobiography.
Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960) was a novelist, folklorist, and anthro-

pologist whose fictional and factual accounts of black heritage remain un-
paralleled. Her many books include Dust Tracks on a Road; Their Eyes Were Watching
God; Jonah’s Gourd Vine; Moses, Man of the Mountain; Mules and Men; and Every Tongue Got
to Confess.

The Whole of Poetry is Preposition

Claude Royet-Journoud
Translated by Keith Waldrop
Claude Royet-Journoud’s evocation of the preposition is in homage to Louis

Zukofsky; they share a deep affinity for the particular, and for the actual par-
ticulars that compose our days—the delicate tissue that binds them. Here the
poetics of one of the most important poets of the late twentieth and early
twenty-first century is articulated—lucidly and luminously. He sheds light on
the subject.

that use hooded albinos to menace truth-seekers. Some conspiracy books
claim that fraternal orders are the work of serpentine aliens and interbred
humans who wish to supplant earth of its energy, and later, its very existence.
On the other side of the aisle, books by high-ranked Freemasons—skeptical
in tone but no less partisan in approach—protect their organization’s public
image by denying the existence of its most contentious ideas.
Ritual America reveals the biggest secret of them all: that the influence of fra-
ternal brotherhoods on this country is vast, fundamental, and hidden in plain
view. In the early twentieth century, as many as one-third of America be-
longed to a secret society. And though fezzes and tiny car parades are almost
a thing of the past, the Gnostic beliefs of Masonic orders are now so much a SOCIAL SCIENCE / HISTORY
part of the American mind that the surrounding pomp and circumstance has November

Violence Girl
East L.A. Rage to Hollywood Stage, a Chicana Punk Story
Alice Bag
The proximity of the East L.A. barrio to Hollywood is as close as a short drive
on the 101 freeway, but the cultural divide is enormous. Born to Mexican-
born and American-naturalized parents, Alicia Armendariz migrated a few
miles west to participate in the free-range birth of the 1970s punk move-
ment. Alicia adopted the punk name Alice Bag, and became lead singer for
The Bags, early punk visionaries who starred in Penelope Spheeris’ documen-
tary The Decline of Western Civilization.
Here is a life of many crossed boundaries, from East L.A.’s musica ranch-
era to Hollywood’s punk rock; from a violent male-dominated family to
female-dominated transgressive rock bands. Alice’s feminist sympathies can
be understood by the name of her satiric all-girl early Goth band Castration
Squad.
Violence Girl takes us from a violent upbringing to an aggressive punk sensi-
bility; this time a difficult coming-of-age memoir culminates with a satisfying
conclusion, complete with a happy marriage and children. Nearly a hundred
excellent photographs energize the text in remarkable ways.
Alice Bag’s work and influence can be seen this year in the traveling

Graffiti Underworld
Villains, Vandals and Visionaries
J.R. Mathews
We’ve seen the folk art form of graffiti derided by police and civic leaders as
pure vandalism. In the ’90s some of it was upgraded to art museums, and
today the political “street art” of Banksy and Shepard Fairey recontextualize
graffiti art yet again. In Graffiti Underworld, J.R. Mathews bypasses the art galler-
ies and travels across the United States to rediscover the original outlaw van-
dals for no-bullshit interviews about their risky and exciting outlaw creations.
Graffiti Underworld interviews nearly two hundred artists, all of them pseud-
onymous, and includes over three hundred images of their work through
the barbed-wire fences, multi-story walls, railroad tracks, and other rough-
and-tumble surroundings.
Graffiti artists and lawbreakers interviewed include: Ader, Anoy, Apes,

Propaganda and Holy Writ of the
Process Church of the Final Judgment
Includes The Gods on War Read by Timothy Wyllie,
Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Lydia Lunch, and Adam Parfrey
Introduction by Adam Parfrey and Timothy Wyllie
The celebrated thematic magazines of the notorious Process Church of the
Final Judgment cult were created to be hawked on the street in order to
raise money and attract like-minded adherents to their unorthodox Gnostic
theology.
Printed in order of their first appearance, the Sex, Fear, and Death issues are
here reproduced in their entirety in a handsome clothbound book.
The Feral House release Love, Sex, Fear, Death: The Inside Story of The Process Church
of the Final Judgment by Timothy Wyllie and other ex-members explored the his-
tory and aftermath of the notorious organization and the accusations lodged
against it. Soon after its publication, Feral House received dozens of requests
for full reproduction of the original magazines that are now sold online (when
they can be found) for over one thousand dollars apiece.
The magazines reproduced in this book are lionized as being decades ahead
of their time in terms of the sophistication of its art and design. The cult
was also attacked for including in its Death issue a contribution by Charles
SOCIAL SCIENCE Manson. This inclusion led the dark-robed cult to be characterized as a sin-
September ister death cult.

Elephant:
The Arts & Visual Culture Magazine
Elephant—a quarterly magazine from the makers of Frame—focuses its keen eye
on art and visual culture.
Lately, creative individuals have been protesting against the corporate na-
ture of things, often taking the initiative and setting up new independent ven-
tures. Elephant looks at how it’s done. Elephant visits art and design studios, peers
over shoulders, steps on graffiti artists’ toes, disturbs rehearsals, interrupts
takes, rides fixed-gear bikes, and plays the latest computer games.
Elephant’s tone of voice is direct, sincere, and multidisciplinary. Elephant
believes it’s time for less cynicism and more encouragement for outbursts
of spontaneity—think of those that gave birth to futurism, dadaism, and
surrealism.
Elephant is the first and only visually oriented art magazine that features over
two hundred pages of high-quality, up-to-date, original creative material
from all over the world.

Where They Create
Alexandra Onderwater
Photographs by Paul Barbera
The successful weblog Where They Create documents studios where crea-
tivity takes place by showing the work of interior photographer Paul Barbera.
Now it’s time to make a book. Where They Create captures thirty studios from all
around the world; studios of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, adver-
tising agencies, and many others, some very well known, others only starting
out. The studios of Wallpaper* magazine, Clive Wilkinson Architects, Jeremiah
Goodman, and Opening Ceremony are included. Important to Barbera is that
the photographed studios are somehow connected to someone Barbera knows
and that he likes the creative space or the work they do.
Where They Create is also a break from the work Barbera does for several inte-
rior magazines, where everything is styled and considered. Instead the images
for this book are as Barbera finds the spaces, un-styled and raw. Just the way
they are. Each project is described with personal information from the owner
of the studio and Barbera himself.
Alexandra Onderwater has written for many international magazines, in-

Industry of Nature
Another Approach to Ecology
Elodie Ternaux, Daniel Kula, Jean-Pierre Ternaux,
and Michèle Ternaux
Illustrations by Benjamin Gomez
Although information on ecology and sustainability is published and posted

daily, it’s obvious that most people feel powerless when faced with the state of
our environment today. Materials and technologies claim a dominant posi-
tion with regard to ecological problems, but we sometimes forget that these
may not always be the key to good, comprehensive solutions. The use of ma-
terials is only one approach to the larger ecological issue, which clearly has
philosophical, metaphysical, economical, and social implications.
The world of nature, on the other hand, is an amazing arena filled with
smart models of simple and sustainable behaviors. Nature undeniably ques-
tions the pretentiously authoritative status that humans have allocated them-
selves, and nature is the best example of a wholly sustainable and autonomous
industry. Industry of Nature explains seventy-five of nature’s strategies to fulfill
needs such as protection, temperature regulation, bonding, air conditioning,
self-cleaning, anti-collision, transmission of information, camouflage, and
many more. By describing these strategies and adding practical application
examples, the book provides creative professionals with inspiration and tools

Recovery Zone, Volume 2
Achieving Balance in Your Life: The External Tasks
Patrick Carnes, PhD
People in recovery can be lulled into accepting that they are doing well enough
to get by, especially once the chaos and drama of active addiction is arrested.
However, with advances in neuroscience, addiction experts now know how
critical long-term efforts are in achieving sobriety. Recovery Zone, Volume 2
guides readers past the tasks addressed in Facing the Shadow and Recovery Zone,
Volume I. Readers turn to the tasks that insure that they lead a balanced life.
These issues include financial responsibility, meaningful work, lifestyle bal-
ance, and spirituality.
Dr. Patrick Carnes’ thirty-task treatment model is the gold standard for
helping people understand how trauma, family genetics, and brain chemistry
influence the development of addiction. This volume guides readers to long-
term recovery.
Patrick Carnes, PhD, is a nationally known speaker on addiction and re-

covery issues. He is author of Out of the Shadows: Understanding Sexual Addiction

GLAS New Russian Writing
Moscow, Russia
Praise for GLAS New Russian Writing:

“GLAS specializes in exposing the best of new Russian literary fiction to English-speaking readers.
GLAS plays an important role in giving people an opportunity to enjoy Russian literature that isn’t
necessarily a classic text.”—Publishing Trends
“Thanks to GLAS many of the new Russian writers are now available to the Western reader.”
—The New Yorker
“These stories, which are amusing and unique, act like a playground swing, each one flinging itself
in directions different from the others.”—Boston Review
GLAS New Russian Writing is an ongoing series of contemporary Russian literature in English
translation aiming to introduce more Russian authors to the American reader. A small independent
publisher based in Moscow, Russia, GLAS has become the premier showcase for contemporary
Russian writing available in English.
Since 1991 GLAS has been discovering new writers (Victor Pelevin, Ludmila Ulitskaya, Asar
Eppel, Arkady Babchenko) and rediscovering underappreciated past masters (early Mikhail Bulgakov
and Andrei Platonov, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky, Andrei Sinyavsky, Anatoly Mariengof). Begun as
a series of anthologies of diverse writers grouped around a unifying theme (such as revolution, fear,
childhood, or women’s views), GLAS has taken to publishing single-author books so as to give readers
a better sense of the author’s work. Our book-length translations have twice won the Rossica Prize for
the best translation from Russian.
In 2010 GLAS launched a sub-series featuring winners of the Debut Prize for young authors. Free of
the Soviet legacy, this generation is now declaring itself with increasing confidence in life and literature.
With more than one hundred names represented, GLAS is indeed the most comprehensive
English-language source for Russian letters today: a must for libraries, students of world literature,
and all those who love good writing.

The Russian Word’s Worth

Russian Language, Culture, and Translation
Second Edition
Michele A. Berdy
“The book will surely find its way into the classroom.”—Publishing Trends
A quirky, opinionated, sometimes hilarious yet always thoughtful and authori-

tative guide, Michele A. Berdy looks at Russia’s changing culture, politics, and
daily life through language and the art of translation. She explores the lan-
guage of popular and youth culture, politics, the workplace, culture (high and
low), and the comical struggle of expats trying to cope with a foreign language
and culture. The entries in this book are grouped thematically and, with the

ruthless thugs, drunken intellectuals, the local elite, and failed fortune
seekers. The heroes are yearning for faraway glamorous cities and trying to
find their identities. They suffer through various weird misadventures, but
for many readers their tales may be a survival guide. A vivid portrait of the
younger generation in today’s Russia: stunned by their first painful contacts

The Scared Generation
Second Edition
Boris Yampolsky and Vasil Bykov
Introduction by Rachel Polonsky
Boris Yampolsky’s The Old Arbat is a visceral portrait of fear under the Soviet re-
gime: the inner state of a hunted man as he wanders around Moscow trying
to escape the secret police. Finally, he overcomes fear by accepting the inevi-
table. In Vasil Bykov’s The Manhunt, a dispossessed peasant secretly returns from
his Siberian exile to his native village in Belarus. The local Cheka, headed by
his own son, hunts him down. Given the current situation in both Russia and
Belarus, this is as relevant as ever.
Boris Yampolsky (1912–1972) was a noted literary figure in the late 1950s.
His major novel was banned by censors and only published in the 1990s. FICTION

Stories by Russian Hitchhikers
Irina Bogatyreva, Igor Savelyev, and Tatiana Mazepina
“Today an unusually gifted generation is entering Russian literature. . . .
Literature has not seen such an influx of energy in a long time.”—Olga Slavnikova,
director of the Debut Prize
By and about Russian hitchhikers, these stories take the reader along the end-
less roads of central Russia, the Urals, the Altai, Siberia, and beyond. In en-
ergetic and vivid prose they depict all sorts of curious Russian types: exotic
adventures in far-flung places, the complex psychological relationships that
develop on the road, and these hitchhikers’ inexplicable passion for tramping.
“In via veritas” is their motto. The authors are all winners of the Debut Prize,
and will present the book at BEA in 2012 in New York. FICTION

Squaring the Circle

Edited by Olga Slavnikova
Squaring the Circle is Russian prose by a new generation of authors from various
parts of Russia who never lived in the USSR and who, unlike older writers,
are not fighting the Soviet past. Young people have no algorithms for build-
ing their lives and careers. There are no guarantees, but anything is possible.
Minus
Roman Senchin
Uprooted by the collapse of the USSR, some disillusioned young men take to
drink and drugs. In contrast, their parents are depicted as survivors against
all odds, although that means abandoning their professions and growing
their own food. Roman Senchin provides almost photographic portrayals and
abundant ethnographic details you won’t find in guidebooks.
A Jewish God in Paris

Mikhail Levitin
“The picture resembles a Chagall painting. . . . Or perhaps this anti-

with the Jewish answer: Me.”—The Times Literary Supplement
In the title novella the hero, after a marital infidelity, takes his family to Paris
hoping to win his beautiful wife’s forgiveness.

Iramifications
Maria Galina
“Galina’s ingenuity in weaving together numerous mythological allusions

barminess.
War & Peace

Arkady Babchenko, Dmitry Bykov, Julia Latynina,
Roman Senchin, and Olga Slavnikova
Army stories (War) versus women’s stories (Peace) make a compelling portrait
of post-post-perestroika Russia. The message is that any war inevitably sows
hatred among otherwise peaceful people.
The women’s stories immerse you in the world of basic human values but
also cover aging, the generation gap, and violence against women.

Requiem for the Living
Alan Cherchesov
This novel, which critics have likened to William Faulkner and Gabriel García
Márquez, is a philosophical parable in which the hero’s unique abilities and
alienation underscore the distinctive Caucasian culture and their strict code
of honor. It is told from within an endemic culture threatened by the advance
of modern civilization.
Hurramabad
Andrei Volos
Winner of four prizes, Hurramabad describes the eviction of Russians from

Tajikistan and the national strife following the collapse of the USSR. A resi-
dent of Dushanbe, Andrei Volos witnessed the civil war with its insane de-
struction, ethnic hatred, bloody vengeance, ruthless struggle for power, and
violent demonstrations instigated by cynical politicians.

Alexander Pokrovsky and Alexander Terekhov

nature.

The Makers of the Modern World Series
Edited by Alan Sharp
“The conception is magnificent. . . . The best are outstanding. Lloyd George,

by Alan Sharp, is shrewd, incisive, and learned, a masterpiece of analytical
narrative by a notable authority on the international relations of the period.
‘In victory, magnanimity’ was the motto of Churchill’s history of the second
world war. These books are a somber confirmation of its wisdom, and re-
quired reading for any one who wants to understand how the world has got
where it has.”—Jonathan Sumption, The Spectator
“A beautifully produced series.”—The Literary Review
A groundbreaking series of innovative biographies telling the stories of the

men who tried to create “the peace to end all war.” The far-reaching conse-
quences of the agreements reached at the Paris Peace Conference were mo-
mentous and played an unrivalled role in shaping the world we live in today.
The representatives from each country came with ambitious dreams and high
principles. They left, having signed five treaties and founded the League of
Nations. The legacy of what they did or did not achieve is examined in these
thirty-two volumes.

The Makers of the Modern Middle East
TG Fraser, Andrew Mango, and Robert McNamara
TG Fraser presents a comprehensive analysis of how the decisions taken at the

end of World War I forged a new Middle East. These decisions set in place a
pattern which formed the political shape of the region as we know it today, in-
cluding the popular uprisings witnessed in Egypt and Tunisia in 2011. From
the Paris Peace Conference right up to the 2011 clashes in Tahrir Square and
Hosni Mubarak’s resignation, Fraser gives a relevant and complete overview in
this critical time for the Middle East and its people.
This book explores the complex interactions of the high politics of
the conferences with how Arabs, Jews, and Turks created new realities
on the ground, often confounding what the statesmen had decided. With
events in the Middle East rarely absent from the world’s headlines, this
book offers a scholarly and objective analysis of a critical phase in its
development.
TG Fraser is professor emeritus of the University of Ulster. He is a fellow of

the Royal Historical Society, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a mem-
ber of the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Hidden Bhutan
Entering the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon
Martin Uitz
It was not until the mid 1960s that the first road between India and Bhutan
was opened, and only since 1974 have a small number of tourists been per-
mitted to enter. Written with a deep understanding of Bhutan’s intricate soci-
ety, religion, and customs, Martin Uitz’s dry, witty humor gives the narrative
of Hidden Bhutan a subtle poignancy. This is a perfect book for those wanting to
understand how Bhutan’s history, recent political change, and drive to become
the world’s first smoking-free nation have shaped the enigmatic Kingdom of
the Thunder Dragon.

Nicholas Woodsworth

spiritual Jerusalem that questions the values and examines the beliefs that have
sustained Jerusalem’s populations through centuries of conflict and division.
At a time when people across the Middle East are calling for greater freedom,

Sheila Schwartz
The success of his first novel This Side of Paradise gave F. Scott Fitzgerald both ce-

Zelda Sayre. They became the quintessential couple of the Jazz Age, the heady
and exciting years of the twenties before the Wall Street crash. Tragically the
glamor and decadence of their early years would dissolve into Zelda’s alcohol-
induced schizophrenia and, for Fitzgerald, a precarious life in Hollywood that
would end in early death. This introductory biography, part of the Life&Times

Haymarket Books—Celebrating Ten Years
Rich People Things
Real Life Secrets of the Predator Class
Chris Lehmann
“Social criticism at its scorching-hot best.”—Barbara Ehrenreich

“Think H.L. Mencken crossed with Jon Stewart.”—The Phoenix
In Rich People Things, Chris Lehmann lays bare the various dogmas and delu-
sions that prop up plutocratic rule in the post-meltdown age. It’s a humorous
and harrowing tale of warped populism, phony reform, and blind deference
to the nation’s financial elite. As the author explains, American class privi-
lege is very much like the idea of sex in a Catholic school—it’s not supposed to
exist in the first place, but once it presents itself in your mind’s eye, you real-
ize that it’s everywhere.
A concise and easy-to-use guide, Rich People Things catalogs the fortifications
that shelter the opulent from the resentments of the hoi polloi. From ideo-
logical stanchions such as the Free Market through the castellation of media
including The New York Times and Wired magazine, to gatekeepers such as David
Brooks, Steve Forbes, and Alan Greenspan, Lehmann covers the vast array
of comforting and comprehensive protections that allow the über-privileged
to maintain their iron grip on almost half of America’s wealth. With chapters
on Malcolm Gladwell, the Supreme Court, the memoir, and more, no one is POPULAR CULTURE / ESSAYS

The United States of Fear
Tom Engelhardt
“A tour de force.”—Jeremy Scahill

“Tom Engelhardt is the I. F. Stone of the post-9/11 age.”—Andrew J. Bacevich
In 2008, when the US National Intelligence Council issued its latest report
meant for the administration of newly elected President Barack Obama,
it predicted that the planet’s “sole superpower” would suffer a modest de-
cline and a soft landing fifteen years hence. In his new book The United States of
Fear, Tom Engelhardt makes clear that Americans should don their crash hel-
mets and buckle their seat belts, because the United States is on the path to a
major decline at a startling speed. Engelhardt offers a savage anatomy of how
successive administrations in Washington took the “Soviet path”—pouring
American treasure into the military, war, and national security—and so helped
drive their country off the nearest cliff.
This is the startling tale of how fear was profitably shot into the national
bloodstream, how the country—gripped by terror fantasies—was locked down,
and how a brain-dead Washington elite fiddled (and profited) while America
quietly burned.
Think of it as the story of how the Cold War really ended, with the trium-
phalist “sole superpower” of 1991 heading slowly for the same exit through
which the Soviet Union left the stage twenty years earlier. POLITICAL SCIENCE

On History
Tariq Ali and Oliver Stone in Conversation
Tariq Ali and Oliver Stone
In working together on two challenging new documentaries—South of the Border

and the forthcoming thirteen-part, thirteen-hour Forgotten History of the United
States series for Showtime—filmmaker Oliver Stone engaged with author and
filmmaker Tariq Ali in a probing, hard-hitting conversation on the politics
of history.
Their dialogue brings to light a number of forgotten—or deliberately
buried—episodes of American history, from the US intervention against the
Russian Revolution to the dynamic radicalism of the Wobblies; how Henry
Wallace’s nomination for the vice presidency was deliberately thwarted by
Democratic Party machine insiders, to the ongoing close connections between
various US presidents and the Saudi royal family.
For Stone and Ali—two of our most insightful observers on history and
popular culture—no topic is sacred, no orthodoxy goes unchallenged.
Tariq Ali is an internationally acclaimed Pakistani writer and filmmaker. He

has written more than two dozen books on world history and politics and
seven novels (translated into over a dozen languages) as well as scripts for the
stage and screen. He is an editor of New Left Review and lives in London.

American Insurgents
A Brief History of American Anti-Imperialism
Richard Seymour
“Seymour’s obsessively researched, impressive first book holds its place as the
most authoritative historical analysis of its kind.”—Resurgence
All empires spin self-serving myths, and in the United States the most potent
of these is that America is a force for democracy around the world. Yet there is
a tradition of American anti-imperialism which gives the lie to this mythology.
Richard Seymour examines this complex relationship from the Revolution to
the present-day.

Live Bait and Ammo

Autoworkers Under the Gun
Gregg Shotwell
Introduction by Lee Sustar
Foreword by Jerry Tucker
Workers’ rights are not defined by law or contract. Workers’ rights are defined by struggle.
These biting shopfloor bulletins chronicle a decade of autoworker resistance

to ever-expanding concessions pressured upon them by union bureaucrats
and company men alike. Offering a takedown of both the union-management
partnership approach and the “bankruptcy as a business plan,” Live Bait &
Ammo summons a rank-and-file call to action for a new generation crashing the
gates of recession-torn American Dreams.

Selections from Cultural Writings

Antonio Gramsci
Edited by David Forgacs and Geoffrey Nowell-Smith
Translated by William Boelhower
One of the world’s most influential cultural critics, Antonio Gramsci’s writ-
ings on the interconnection between culture and politics fundamentally
changed the way that scholars view both. Among the first to argue that art is
not the product of “men of genius” but rather particular historical and so-
cial contexts, Gramsci remains one of the most widely read theorists of mod-
ern culture.
Antonio Gramsci was a founding member of the Italian Communist Party

and spent most of his adult life imprisoned by Benito Mussolini. After his
death and the subsequent publication of his Prison Notebooks, he came to be POLITICAL SCIENCE / LITERARY CRITICISM
known as one of the twentieth century’s foremost cultural critics. February

Cuba Since the Revolution of 1959
A Critical Assessment
Samuel Farber
Uncritically lauded by the left and impulsively denounced by the right, the
Cuban Revolution is almost universally viewed one dimensionally. Samuel
Farber, one of its most informed left-wing critics, provides a much needed
critical assessment of the Revolution’s impact and legacy.
Samuel Farber was born and raised in Marianao, Cuba, and came to the
United States in February 1958. His scholarship on Cuba includes two pre-
vious books, Revolution and Reaction in Cuba, 1933–1960 and Origins of the Cuban
Revolution Reconsidered. Farber was active in the Cuban high school student move-

Too Many People?

Population, Immigration, and the Environmental Crisis
Ian Angus and Simon Butler
Foreword by Betsy Hartman and Joel Kovel
Too Many People? provides a clear, well-documented, and popularly written refu-
tation of the idea that “overpopulation” is a major cause of environmental de-
struction, arguing that a focus on human numbers not only misunderstands
the causes of the crisis, it dangerously weakens the movement for real solutions.
No other book challenges modern overpopulation theory so clearly and
comprehensively, providing invaluable insights for the layperson and envi-
ronmental scholars alike.

Jane Yolen
Internationally renowned author Jane Yolen has composed a sequence of

tough, angry, and moving love poems that express grief and gratitude for her
late husband David, as witness to his treatment for and passing from cancer,
and the ongoing loss that is felt years after his death.
In one poem, Yolen—a prize-winning poet, speaks of his “shallow bird
breath/beating beneath the cage of his chest bones.” In another: “Do not help
me to forget./Help me to remember.” And in a third:
You have gone before me into winter,
Into spring, into summer, somehow
A consummate time traveler
I can never catch up to,
Always a season ahead.
Jane Yolen, often called “the Hans Christian Andersen of America,” is the

Why We Can’t Buy Our Way to a Green Planet
Kendra Pierre-Louis
The message that our environment is in peril has filtered from environmen-
tal groups to the American consciousness to our shopping carts. Every day,
millions of Americans dutifully replace conventional produce with organic,
swap Mr. Clean for Seventh Generation, and replace their bottled water with
water bottles. Many of us have come to believe that the path to environmen-
tal sustainability is paved by shopping green. Although this green consumer
movement certainly has many Americans consuming differently, it raises an
important and rarely asked question—“is this consumption really any better
for the planet?”
By examining the major economic sectors of our society, including in-
frastructure (green housing), consumer goods (green clothing and jewelry),
food (the rise of organic), and energy (including solar power and the popu-
larity of the hybrid car), Green Washed: Why We Can’t Buy Our Way to a Green Planet ex-
plains that, though greener alternatives are important, we cannot simply buy
our way to sustainability. Rather, if it is the volume of our consumption that
matters, can we as a society dependent on constantly consuming ever be con-
tent with buying less?
A new and unique take on green consumption, Green Washed shows how buy-

The Waste Makers
Vance Packard
Introduction by Bill McKibben
An exposé of “the systematic attempt of business to make us wasteful, debt-

ridden, permanently discontented individuals,” The Waste Makers is Vance
Packard’s pioneering 1960 work on how the rapid growth of disposable con-
sumer goods was degrading the environmental, financial, and spiritual char-
acter of American society.
The Waste Makers was the first book to probe the increasing commercialization
of American life—the development of consumption for consumption’s sake.
Packard outlines the ways manufacturers and advertisers persuade consum-
ers to buy things they don’t need and didn’t know they wanted, including the
two-of-a-kind of everything syndrome—“two refrigerators in every home”—
and appeals to purchase something because it is more expensive, or because
it is painted in a new color. The book also brought attention to the concept
of planned obsolescence, in which a “death date” is built into products so
that they wear out quickly and need to be replaced. By manipulating the pub-
lic into mindless consumerism, Packard believed that business was making us
“more wasteful, imprudent, and carefree in our consuming habits,” which was
using up our natural resources at an alarming rate.
A prescient book that predicted the rise of American consumer culture,
this all new edition of The Waste Makers features an introduction by best-selling
SOCIAL SCIENCE / BUSINESS & ECONOMICS author Bill McKibben.

A Meaning For Wife

Mark Yakich
Your wife is killed by a cashew (anaphylactic shock), but there isn’t time to
grieve because your toddler son is always at your heels—wanting to be fed, to
be played with, or to sleep next to you all night long. A change of pace seems
necessary, so you decide to visit your parents in order to attend your twenty-
year high school reunion. What begins as a weekend getaway quickly becomes
a theater for dealing with the past—a past that you will have to re-imagine in
order to have any hope of a future for you and your son.
Told in second person, A Meaning for Wife is the story of a man trying to come
to terms with the sudden death of his wife, the aging parents he has long
avoided, and the tribulations of single parenthood.
Mark Yakich is the author of two poetry collections, Unrelated Individuals Forming A FICTION

Making WET
The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing
Leonard Koren
WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing was one of the seminal avant-garde publica-
tions of the 1970s and early 1980s. It had a quirky, prescient editorial sensi-
bility and was a paradigm-shifting venue for graphic design experimentation.
WET was a precursor to, and exemplar for, later publications such as Beach
Culture, Ray Gun, and the like. Talents such as Matt Groening (The Simpsons) and
others published their first work here. This book tells the story of the mak-
ing of WET from its early formation in the Venice Beach creative milieu to its
emergence on the international pop-culture scene. This book includes an ex-
tended commentary on the process of making WET, along with images and re-
prints from the magazine. No mere retrospective, this book offers instructive
advice for anyone embarking on a journey of artistic entrepreneurship.
Leonard Koren trained as an artist and architect. He was the founder and
publisher of WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing. Koren writes and consults
about design- and aesthetic-related issues. Among his previous books are

Desert Birds
Photographs by Werner Bartsch
Text by Werner Bartsch and Sophia Greiff
A cockpit faces an endless desert landscape; a gangway stands in the middle

of an abandoned expanse. At the vast aircraft storage grounds in the middle
of the desert in the southwestern United States, hundreds of discarded air-
craft stand in waiting and contemplate their fate. Normally strictly isolated
from the outside world, the storage grounds opened their gates for this proj-
ect by German photographer Werner Bartsch. In his impressive images we
find an ancient specimen of the world’s best known transport aircraft Dakota
as well as retired airliners like the Boeing Stratocruiser and even President
Eisenhower’s Air Force One, built in 1948.

The Architecture of Donald Wexler
Donald Wexler
Text by Lauren Weiss Bricker and Sidney Williams
Interview by Bernard Perlin
This first monograph on Donald Wexler (born 1926), the pioneer of pre-
fabricated steel houses, provides a comprehensive view of the golden years
of Californian architecture. This period from the postwar years through the
1970s was a time when architects enjoyed freedom to employ new materi-
als and technologies in their search for functionally beautiful architecture.
Wexler applied his unique style to projects for clients such as Frank Sinatra
and Walt Disney World Resort.

Chernobyl Zone (I)
Photographs by Andrej Krementschouk
Chernobyl: once just an old-fashioned town in the Ukraine, one hundred ki-
lometers from Kiev, today synonymous with the biggest nuclear disaster in
human history. 2011 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accident that
took hundreds of lives and forced thousands of people to leave their homeland.
Award-winning photographer Andrej Krementschouk (winner of the
2010 PDN Photo Annual Award) took several trips to Chernobyl, venturing
into the restricted thirty-kilometer zone of alienation around the reactor. He
took haunting pictures of the rural landscape, alongside touching portraits of
people who refused to leave their homes despite the danger of radiation.

Thomas Wrede
Edited by Thorsten Sadowsky and Indra Wussow
In his photo series German photo artist Thomas Wrede juggles with real-life
content versus constructedness in photography construed as a mirror of real-
ity. His invented spaces start out as actual views of nature, landscapes, and cit-
ies, and are then taken to the threshold of absurdist surrealism and ambiguity.
By adding and staging his images with little models, Wrede disturbs our per-
ception of reality and the image.
Wrede creates in his photographic worlds room for longings and utopias
located somewhere beyond time and space. This catalog covers two of the art-
ist’s outstanding photo series in recent years, Real Landscapes and Seascapes.

Little Adults
Photographs by Anna Skladmann
Text by Bill Kouwenhoven
The photo series Little Adults explores what it feels like to grow up as a privileged
child in Russia, a country where its radical history still rules the daily life. It
explores the recently growing society of the “Nouveau Riche” in which chil-
dren are raised to become the “Elite.” Photographing children of Russia’s oli-
garchs reflects the extreme contrast between social hierarchies and touches on
the control of family aspirations, ideas of normality, the loss of childhood,
and the constant desire for fame.

Europe and the United States. She has been published in The New York Times and PHOTOGRAPHY

No Sleep
Photographs by Hee Jin Kang
Introduction by Jonathan Ames
For her series No Sleep, Hee Jin Kang photographs mattresses abandoned on
the streets of New York City, mostly in Brooklyn. Kang’s work reveals the un-

beds are pathetic, monolithic, and architectural. They lay naked against walls
and on curbs, sometimes seedy and sometimes luminous.
Hee Jin Kang, based in Brooklyn, New York, has exhibited her work inter-
nationally, including at the Hayward Gallery, London; the Musée de l’Elysée;

In Case It Rains in Heaven

Photographs by Kurt Tong
Text by Kurt Tong and Wendy Watriss
Traditionally, the Chinese burn joss paper (ghost money) for their ancestors
so that they can enjoy their afterlives. Houses, cars, and gold bars made out of
paper were burnt in the weeks following a person’s death. However, in recent
times, as consumer culture takes hold of the Chinese culture, joss paper prod-
ucts have become more elaborate, reflecting the desires of those who are alive.
In an increasingly westernized society, designer handbags, laptop computers,
iPods, and fast food made out of paper are burnt for the recently deceased.

First Principles of Islamic Economics
Sayyid Abul A’la Mawdudi
Abul A’la Mawdudi laid down the foundations of modern Islamic economics.
Drawing upon Islamic sources, Mawdudi spelled out a new paradigm for eco-
nomic analysis and policy, wherein economic pursuits take place in the con-
text of moral values and are directed towards the achievement of personal
and social objectives. Integral to this approach is the concept of an interest-
free economy that attempts to make efficiency and equity inseparable and
interdependent. The creation and distribution of wealth thus become instru-
mental in promoting individual and social wellbeing, opening up pathways to
development, social justice, and human welfare. This comprehensive anthol-
ogy collects all of his major writings and provides a historic as well as an essen-
tial introduction to Islamic economics.
Abul A’la Mawdudi (1903–1979) was a leading Muslim intellectual and a chief
architect of the Islamic revival in the twentieth century. In 1941 he founded
Jama’at-i-Islami, a political party in Pakistan, which he led until 1972. He au-
thored more than a hundred works on Islam, both popular and scholarly, and
BUSINESS & ECONOMICS his writings have been translated into some forty languages.

A Concise History of Chinese Philosophy
Main Currents of Thought from Mythology to Mao
Jiefu Xiao and Jinquan Li
This fascinating new history of Chinese philosophy places great emphasis on

the interaction between philosophical and historical movements in China
from prehistory to the twentieth century. As a result, it is an ideal way to fol-
low China’s often complex social and historical processes—with philosophical
movements serving as signposts.
From the earliest attempts at divination, feudal systems, and treatises
on war and strategy, the book blooms in showing the flowering of some of
China’s greatest philosophical traditions—including Daosim, Confucianism,
Mohism, and Legalism—and how they ebb and flow, changing and evolving
with major and minor alterations through the centuries.
For the reader interested not only in the theoretical framework of Chinese
philosophy but in how it interacts with history, this book will be a welcome ad-
dition to any library.
Jiefu Xiao is a professor of philosophy at Wuhan University and vice chair of

the Society for the History of Chinese Philosophy and the China Association
for the Study of Confucius.

Americans Talk About Change
Mary M. Clare, PhD
Psychologist Mary M. Clare hit the highways to survey Americans of all ages
and backgrounds for their thoughts on the state of the country. Beginning
with the prompt, “What does change mean to you?” this book is a journey to
listen to the opinions and beliefs that stretch across a nation. Clare scribes
with the hope of opening a door for dialogue across our differences, allow-
ing each of her subjects the space to tell their stories. Each one proves com-
pelling in itself, while showing that the concept of change is a shared hallmark
of American identity.
Themes come to the foreground via chapter titles and introductions and
the result is homegrown definitions and ideas based firmly in the interests of

the people that compose it.
In a time of manic politics and the acute distortion of democracy, this book
points back at us—the people of the United States. These one hundred voices
call for the radical act of listening to one another. Here is a book that arises di-
rectly from the cultural zeitgeist to guide the reclaiming of democracy.

Níjar Country
Juan Goytisolo
Translated by Peter Bush
“Juan Goytisolo is one of the most rigorous and original contemporary writ-
ers.”—Mario Vargas Llosa
“One of the most brilliant of living writers.”—Los Angeles Times
An intimate account of travel in Andalusia during the 1950s, Juan Goytisolo’s

early, short narrative grimly revisits the province of Almería, still under
Franco’s rule. The critic Ramón Fernández Palmeral writes: “More than a mere
travelog, Goytisolo bravely chose to report the social and economic life in the
Almería of those Franquista years.” He adds: “Brave, most of all, because by
publishing it, even at first in France, Goytisolo risked being sent to jail.”
To this day, the Andalusian tourist bureau highly recommends Níjar Country
for its keenness and accuracy of observation—human, botanical, linguistic,
geographical—so tourists on site and in armchairs may superimpose those still
haunting walls graffitied FRANCO, FRANCO, FRANCO on what Níjar Country
also indicts as “postcard Spain.”
Juan Goytisolo, Spanish novelist and essayist, was born in Barcelona in 1931.
He now lives in Marrakech Morocco. His most famous novels are Marks of LITERARY COLLECTIONS
Identity (1966), Count Julian (1970), and Juan the Landless (1975), each of which was Available Now

Seemingly an intimate travelog, Níjar Country actually scrutinizes
Franco’s rural society, culminating in condemnation, precipitating

98 Wounds
Justin Chin
“A gay, punk-rock Chinese American in the age of AIDS, Chin confronts all
manner of hypocrisy.”—San Francisco Chronicle
98 Wounds is a series of improbably linked stories that reimagines and recon-

ciles the abject, the outlaw, the ostracized, the misfits, and the cranky contrar-
ians among us.
Gay people have never been as free—or divided—as in today’s society. As
the gay majority surges into the mainstream, a social construct has emerged
depicting “Good Gays” and “Bad Gays.” Endless mythmaking goes into de-
humanizing the Bad.
Barebackers, poz sexpigs, meth-users, sexual libertines, and fetishists
have been blamed, shamed, and disdained. Any vicious untruth or loathsome
rumor about them—even those contrary to science or common sense—is ac-
cepted without question.
The characters populating 98 Wounds run roughshod in a city spiraling to-
wards collapse. They broker urgent desires in constant pursuit of identity,
obsession, rituals of hope, even the simplicity of an ordinary life. They un-
waveringly root for their own understanding of belonging, contentment,
pleasure, and love.
In 98 Wounds, either we are all damned, or we are all saved: a sentiment that
speaks to all cultures in these uncertain times.

Trans/Love
Radical Sex, Love & Relationships Beyond the Gender Binary
Edited by Morty Diamond
“This is where sex and gender collide, then ricochet like fragments of heart
rending shrapnel. Rarely has a book about lust been full of so much love, con-
flict, and intelligence. If you think you already know what’s in these stories, or
you think you don’t need to know, you’re wrong.”—Patrick Califa, author of
Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism
Exploring the crossroads of gender and sexuality, Trans/Love: Radical Sex, Love &
Relationships Beyond the Gender Binary offers unusually engaging narratives that cre-
ate a raw and honest depiction of dating, sex, love, and relationships among
members of the gender variant community. FTM, MTF, thirdgender, gender-
queer, and other non-traditional identities beyond the gender binary of
traditional male and female are included in this often heartwarming, occa-
sionally heartbreaking, always heartfelt groundbreaking anthology. From
monogamous love and marriage to anonymous sex and one-night hook-ups
(and everything in between), these stories offer readers insight into the pre-
carious emotional and practical mechanics of intimacy among gender-variant
experiences.

Why Aren't You Smiling?
Alvin Orloff
“There will never be a shortage of funny writers, but Alvin Orloff is in an-
other category altogether: the stylist. Like Armistead Maupin before him,
Orloff knows how to do things with the absurd and the transitory that make
a perfect dollhouse for his absurdly huge heart.”—Kevin Killian, author of
Impossible Princess
When fourteen-year-old Leonard decides to quit being a Dweeb and instead

joins the Burnouts, his “good boy” persona is abandoned as he embarks on
a comically painful journey of self-discovery through his unconventional
friendship with Rick, an older Jesus-freak barefoot hippie. The farcical par-
allel story of how Irving Mandelbaum from Los Angeles transmogrifies into
rag-tag cult leader Rick of The Forever Family paints an indelible portrait of
California during one of its most preposterous eras. Growing up in the 1970s
has never before been portrayed with such delightful ludicrousness and heart-
rending tenderness as in Why Aren’t You Smiling?
Alvin Orloff, a California native, began writing as a teenager in the 1970s, a

decade from which he has never fully recovered. He is the author of I Married
An Earthling (Manic D Press), a genre and gender-bending sci-fi send up, and
Gutter Boys (Manic D Press), a novel of decadent romance with ghosts. Orloff FICTION

Red-Robed Priestess
A Novel
Elizabeth Cunningham
After a long, eventful life that has brought her through slavery to the
Resurrection garden, through the controversies of the early Church to a her-
mit cave in southern Gaul, Maeve, the Celtic Magdalen, comes full circle.
With her daughter Sarah, Maeve returns to the British Isles to seek her first-
born daughter taken from her by the druids more than forty years ago. The
night before her channel crossing, Maeve encounters a man she first mistakes
for Jesus’ ghost. He is equally haunted, and the two are drawn into a moon-
struck liaison that will entwine their lives in “an impossible Celtic knot.” He
is none other than General Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, the newly appointed
Governor of Britain, destined to defeat the Iceni Queen Boudica in one of
the bloodiest battles in history.
And Boudica is none other than Maeve’s lost child.
Fully accessible to new readers, Red-Robed Priestess will be deeply satisfying
to fans who have accompanied Maeve on her journey, reuniting them with
beloved characters from the earlier novels, especially Magdalen Rising. At sixty
something, Maeve is as feisty as ever with her distinctive sense of irreverent
humor very much intact, but she has also grown—and so has the author. In this
final volume of the acclaimed Maeve Chronicles, Elizabeth Cunningham con-

Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way
Någårjuna’s Mulamadhyamakakarika
Brad Warner and Gudo Wafu Nishijima
Translated by Gudo Wafu Nishijima
The Mulamadhyamakakarika (MMK) was written by Master Någårjuna, an Indian

Buddhist philosopher of the second century. Mahåyåna Buddhism had ar-
rived at its golden age and Någårjuna was considered its highest authority.
The MMK is revered as the most conclusive of his several Buddhist works. Its
extraordinarily precise and simple expression suggests that it was written when
Master Någårjuna was mature in his Buddhist practice and research.
Brad Warner is the author of popular books on Zen including Hardcore Zen, Sit

A Memoir of Sexual Awakening and Spiritual Love

ment in the United States and abroad. Tantra Goddess is Caroline Muir’s memoir
of her personal journey from innocent Kansas girl to skilled sexual and spiri-
tual healer and leader. She shares the experiences that shaped her and les-
sons learned over a lifetime of searching for, and most often finding, love. In
the process of telling her story, she explores our common cultural inheritance
of a shame-based sexuality and illuminates the way to healing and wholeness.

Counterpower
How to Make Change Happen
Tim Gee
This timely book argues that no major movement has ever been successful
without counterpower, or the power that the “have-nots” use to remove the
power of the “haves.”
Investigating the history and tactics of major movements of the past and to-
day’s global justice and human rights movements, Tim Gee demonstrates what
works and what doesn’t work. In showing how counterpower can be strategi-
cally applied, Gee has created an inspiration for activists and an invaluable re-

The End of Growth
Adapting to Our New Economic Reality
Richard Heinberg
Economists insist that recovery is at hand, yet unemployment remains high,

real estate values continue to sink, and governments stagger under record
deficits. The End of Growth proposes a startling diagnosis: humanity has reached a
fundamental turning point in its economic history. The expansionary trajec-
tory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.
Richard Heinberg’s latest landmark work goes to the heart of the ongoing
financial crisis, explaining how and why it occurred, and what we must do to
avert the worst potential outcomes. Written in an engaging, highly readable
style, it shows why growth is being blocked by three factors:
• Resource depletion,
• Environmental impacts, and
• Crushing levels of debt.
These converging limits will force us to re-evaluate cherished economic
theories and to reinvent money and commerce.
The End of Growth describes what policy makers, communities, and families
can do to build a new economy that operates within Earth’s budget of energy
and resources. We can thrive during the transition if we set goals that promote
human and environmental well-being, rather than continuing to pursue the September
now-unattainable prize of ever-expanding GDP. A Paperback Original

The Permaculture Handbook
Garden Farming for Town and Country
Peter Bane
The urban landscape has swallowed vast swaths of prime farmland across
North America. Imagine how much more self-reliant our communities would
be if thirty million acres of lawns were made productive again. Permaculture
is a practical way to apply ecological design principles to food, housing, and
energy systems, making growing fruits, vegetables, and livestock easier and
more sustainable.
The Permaculture Handbook is a step-by-step, beautifully illustrated guide to cre-
ating resilient and prosperous households and neighborhoods, complemented
by extensive case studies of three successful farmsteads and market gardens.
This comprehensive manual casts garden farming as both an economic oppor-
tunity and a strategy for living well with less money. It shows how, by mimick-
ing the intelligence of nature and applying appropriate technologies such as
solar and environmental design, permaculture can:
• Create an abundance of fresh, nourishing local produce
• Reduce dependence on expensive, polluting fossil fuels
• Drought-proof our cities and countryside

The Non-Toxic Avenger
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
Deanna Duke
Most of us turn a blind eye to the startling array of chemicals lurking in every-
thing from shampoo to baby bottles to the money in our wallets, choosing to
believe that government agencies ensure the safety of the products we wear,
use, ingest, and breathe in daily. Yet the standards for product safety in North
America lag far behind those of other countries. We frequently hear that a
substance we’ve relied on for years turns out to have serious effects on our
health, the environment, or both.
After coming to terms with the fact that the autism and cancer which had
impacted her family were most likely the result of environmental toxins, au-
thor Deanna Duke undertook a mission to dramatically reduce her family’s
chemical exposure. She committed to drastically reducing the levels of all known
chemicals in both her home and work environments, using the help of body
burden testing to see what effect, if any, she was able to have on the level of
toxins in her body.
Follow Deanna’s journey as she uncovers how insidious and invasive envi-
ronmental toxins are. Learn about your day-to-day chemical exposure, the im-
plications for your health, and what you can do about it. And find out whether
the author’s quest is mission impossible, or whether she is ultimately able to

Tales From the Sustainable Underground
A Wild Journey with People Who Care More
About the Planet Than the Law
Stephen Hren
Activists striving for any type of social change often find themselves operating
on the fringes of legal and social norms. Many experience difficulties when
their innovative ideas run afoul of antiquated laws and regulations that favor
a big business energy- and material-intensive approach. Tales From the Sustainable
Underground is packed with the stories of just some of these pioneers—who care
more for the planet than the rules—whether they’re engaged in natural build-
ing, permaculture, community development, or ecologically based art. Ride
along and meet courageous and inspiring individuals such as:
• Solar guru Ed Eaton
• Radical urban permaculturists Scott Kellogg and Stacy Pettigrew
• Artist, eco-architect, and intuitive builder Matt Bua
Equally entertaining and informative, the profiles in this highly original
book provide a unique lens through which to view deeper questions about
the societal structures that are preventing us from attaining a more sustain-
able world. By examining such issues as the nature of property rights and the
function of art in society, the author raises profound questions about how
our social attitudes and mores have contributed to our current destructive

Home Sweet Zero Energy Home
What It Takes to Develop Great Homes that Won’t Cost Anything
to Heat, Cool or Light Up, Without Going Broke or Crazy
Barry Rehfeld
Zero energy homes produce at least as much energy as they consume through a
combination of energy efficiencies, passive design, and renewable energy pro-
duction. California has adopted zero net energy as the new residential stan-
dard for 2020; many other governments are considering similar policies.
Developing zero energy homes is the first step towards making all buildings
zero energy—a critical step in mitigating climate change, since buildings ac-
count for forty percent of material and energy use worldwide.
Home Sweet Zero Energy Home is the first practical guidebook that clearly shows
how zero energy homes can be good, livable, affordable homes. The author
identifies all the pieces of the zero energy puzzle and how they fall into place,
and explains how homeowners and buyers can also take smaller steps towards
sharply reducing the energy use of existing buildings. Focusing on real costs
and savings, this book takes an in-depth look at:
• Site selection and passive design
• Insulation, windows, doors, and building materials
• Heating and cooling
• Appliances and electronics

Housing Reclaimed
Sustainable Homes for Next to Nothing
Jessica Kellner
Housing is a fundamental human right. For most of human history, our homes
were built by hand from whatever local materials were available. However, since
the Industrial Revolution, most housing has become little more than quickly
constructed, mass-produced, uniform boxes. At the same time, the invention
and standardization of the thirty-year mortgage and our ever-increasing reli-
ance on credit has come to mean that most of us never own our homes outright.
Housing Reclaimed is a call to arms for nonconventional home builders. It ex-
amines how technological advances, design evolution, and resourceful, out-of-
the-box thinking about materials and efficiency can help us meet the challenge
of building affordable, environmentally friendly, beautiful, and unique homes.
Focusing on the use of salvaged and reclaimed materials, this inspirational vol-
ume is packed with case studies of innovative projects including:
• Phoenix Commotion—working together towards low-income home
ownership through sweat equity and 100 percent recycled materials
• HabeRae—revitalizing neighborhoods by creating urban infill using

The Urban Food Revolution
Changing the Way We Feed Cities
Peter Ladner
Our reliance on industrial agriculture has resulted in a food supply riddled

with hidden environmental, economic, and health care costs and beset by ris-
ing food prices. With only a handful of corporations responsible for the lion’s
share of the food on our supermarket shelves, we are incredibly vulnerable to
supply chain disruption.
The Urban Food Revolution provides a recipe for community food security based
on leading innovations across North America. The author draws on his politi-
cal and business experience to show that we have all the necessary ingredients
to ensure that local, fresh, sustainable food is affordable and widely available.
He describes how cities are bringing food production home by:
• Growing community through neighborhood gardening, cooking, and
composting programs
• Rebuilding local food processing, storage, and distribution systems
• Investing in farmers markets and community supported agriculture
• Reducing obesity through local fresh food initiatives in schools,
colleges, and universities.
• Ending inner-city food deserts

Homegrown and Handmade
A Practical Guide to More Self-Reliant Living
Deborah Niemann
Our food system is dominated by industrial agriculture and has become eco-
nomically and environmentally unsustainable. The incidence of diet-related
diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and heart disease,
has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. Whether you have forty acres and a
mule or a condo with a balcony, you can do more than you think to safeguard
your health, your money, and the planet.
Homegrown and Handmade shows how making things from scratch and growing
at least some of your own food can help you eliminate artificial ingredients
from your diet, reduce your carbon footprint, and create a more authentic
life. Whether your goal is increasing your self-reliance or becoming a full-
fledged homesteader, it’s packed with answers and solutions to help you:
• Take control of your food supply from seed to plate
• Raise small and medium livestock for fun, food, and fiber

Uprooting Racism
How White People Can Work for Racial Justice—3rd Edition
Paul Kivel
In 2008 the United States elected its first black president, and recent polls
show that only twenty-two percent of white people in the United States believe
that racism is a major societal problem. On the surface, it may seem to be in
decline. However, the evidence of discrimination persists throughout our so-
ciety. Segregation and inequalities in education, housing, health care, and the
job market continue to be the norm. Post 9/11, increased insecurity and fear
have led to an epidemic of the scapegoating and harassment of people of color.
Uprooting Racism offers a framework for understanding institutional racism.
It provides practical suggestions, tools, examples, and advice on how white
people can intervene in interpersonal and organizational situations to work as
allies for racial justice. Completely revised and updated, this expanded third
edition directly engages the reader through questions, exercises, and sugges-
tions for action, and takes a detailed look at current issues such as affirmative
action, immigration, and health care. It also includes a wealth of information
about specific cultural groups such as Muslims, people with mixed heritage,
Native Americans, Jews, recent immigrants, Asian Americans, and Latinos.

Techno-Fix
Why Technology Won’t Save Us Or the Environment
Michael Huesemann and Joyce Huesemann
Nanotechnology! Genetic engineering! Miracle drugs! We are promised that

new technological developments will magically save us from the dire con-
sequences of the three hundred-year fossil-fueled binge known as modern
industrial civilization, without demanding any fundamental changes in our
behavior. There is a pervasive belief that technological innovation will enable
us to continue our current lifestyle indefinitely, and will prevent social, envi-
ronmental, and economic collapse.
Techno-Fix shows that negative unintended consequences of technol-
ogy are inherently unavoidable and predictable, techno-optimism is com-
pletely unjustified, and modern technology, in the presence of continued
economic growth, does not promote sustainability, but hastens collapse. The
authors demonstrate that most technological solutions to social and technol-
ogy created problems are ineffective. They explore the reasons for the uncriti-
cal acceptance of new technologies, show who really controls the direction of
technological change, and then advocate extensive reform.
This comprehensive exposé is a powerful argument for why we can and
should put the genie back in the bottle. An insightful and powerful cri-
tique, it is required reading for anyone who is concerned about blind techno-

was a turning point in human history because it ushered in an era in which
economies will tend to shrink rather than grow. Incomes will decline because
the natural resources required for growth—particularly oil, the lifeblood of the
world economy—can no longer be extracted in growing quantities. Indeed, as
this book shows, the financial crash itself was due to an irresistible force—the
rising global demand for cheap fossil fuels—meeting an immoveable object—
a static supply.

tional authors, all leading thinkers in their fields. Luminaries such as David

The Myth of Western Civilization
Essays on the Fabrication of Culture, Identity, and War
Touraj Daryaee
Praise for Touraj Daryaee’s Sasanian Persia:

“Touraj Daryaee’s Sasanian Persia . . . is a masterpiece of research and will be
that last word on Sasanian Iran in all of its aspects, from political history to
religion, society, and commerce.”—Richard N. Frye, professor emeritus of
Iranian studies, Harvard University
Renowned historian Touraj Daryaee ignites a controversial debate over what

it means to be Western. Through a collection of introspective and provocative
essays, Daryaee challenges us to rethink much of what we learned in history
class, from the idea that ancient Greece was a “Western country” to the justi-
fications used to engage in wars today. The Myth of Western Civilization is a journey
of intellectual discovery, showing us how our cultural identity was created and
what purpose it continues to serve.
Touraj Daryaee is Howard Baskerville professor in the history of Iran and the
Persianate world and associate director of the Dr. Samuel M. Jordan Center
for Persian Studies at the University of California, Irvine. He works on the
February history of ancient and early medieval Iran, and is the editor of the International

The Strategic Victory
The War Against Batista in the Sierra Maestra
Fidel Castro
Here at last is the first volume in Fidel Castro’s long-awaited memoir, a proj-
ect he has been working on since he retired from public office in 2006.
Opening with an extensive chapter on his childhood and youth, this is
Fidel Castro’s never-before-published account of the guerrilla movement that
led to the Cuban revolution in 1959. Besides being a lively and absorbing
memoir and the most authoritative history of the period, this is also destined
to be a classic of military history.
A keen student of great military tacticians, Fidel Castro led three hundred
young guerrillas who pitted themselves against General Fulgencio Batista’s ten
thousand troops that were supported and trained by the United States.
Including 270 pages of photographs and color maps, as well as facsimiles
of key documents, this is an unprecedented source of documentary material.
Among some of the most fascinating documents in this book is the unpub-
lished correspondence between Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
This book should be read in conjunction with Che Guevara’s memoir of
this period: Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War (Ocean Press), on which
Steven Soderbergh based the first part of his epic movie Che, starring Benicio
del Toro.

The Great Debate on
Political Economy and Revolution
Ernesto Che Guevara
Contributions by Ernest Mandel and Charles Bettelheim
Edited by David Deutschman
“This debate has a special place in the history of Marxist thought.”
—Ernest Mandel, author of Marxist Economic Theory and Late Capitalism
In the post-Soviet era, what is the relevance of Marxist economics? In the

early years following the 1959 Cuban revolution, Ernesto Che Guevara initi-
ated an unprecedented and highly controversial debate on the economic chal-
lenges of the “transition to socialism.”
Without making it explicit, the model Che proposed for Cuba was clearly
counterposed to what existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, of
which he was highly critical.
Internationally prominent Marxist economists such as Ernest Mandel and
Charles Bettelheim participated in what became known as “The Great Debate.”
This historic debate is now published in English with recent commentaries by
current day Marxist economists offering a unique resource for a new genera-
tion discussing alternatives to capitalism.
The publication of this book is particularly timely as Cuba today confronts
an economic crisis and seeks to make dramatic changes to its economic sys-
tem. This book adds an entirely new dimension to Che Guevara, beyond the

Circumstantial Evidence and an Ordinary Murder in New Haven
Norma Thompson
“Part detective story, part social commentary, part intellectual autobiography,

part philosophical analysis, this is a jury book unlike any other.”—Anthony
Kronman, Sterling Professor of Law and former dean, Yale Law School
“[Norma Thompson] teaches us, brilliantly and painlessly, why judging, as
opposed to simply knowing, is an essential part of a responsible human exis-
tence, recounting the trials and crimes and moral dilemmas of antiquity and
classical tradition in a stunningly original reading.”—Abraham D. Sofaer, se-
nior fellow at the Hoover Institution and former United States district judge
In 2001, Norma Thompson served on the jury in a murder trial in New

Haven, Connecticut. In Unreasonable Doubt, Thompson dramatically depicts the
jury’s deliberations, which ended in a deadlock. As foreperson, she pondered
the behavior of some of her fellow jurors that led to the trial’s termination in
a hung jury. Blending personal memoir, social analysis, and literary criticism,
she addresses the evasion of judgment she witnessed during deliberations and
relates that evasion to contemporary political, social, and legal affairs. She
then assembles an imaginary jury of Alexis de Tocqueville, Plato, and Jane
Austen, among others, to show how the writings of these authors can help LITERARY COLLECTIONS / TRUE CRIME

Memories of My Youth
Gershom Scholem
Translated by Harry Zohn
“A serene, lucid, and stylish essay in intellectual autobiography that at the

same time commemorates a vanished world.”—The Times Literary Supplement
From Berlin to Jerusalem portrays the dual dramas of the author’s total break from
his middle-class German Jewish family and his ever-increasing dedication to
the study of Jewish thought. Played out during the momentous years just be-
fore, during, and after World War I, these experiences eventually led Gersham
Scholem to immigrate to Palestine in 1923.

Essays on Socrates’ Conversations and Plato’s Writings
Eva Brann
“It is a wonder and a delight to be led by Eva Brann through the Socratic con-
versations. She begins from first impressions and moves through perplexity
to clarity, without losing the thread. Those who do not know the Republic, will
be initiated into its treasures. Those who believe that it is a great book will
understand better what they already know. And all who teach the dialogues
will find their souls expanded in the presence of this most generous teacher.”
—Ann Hartle, Emory University
In this collection of essays, Eva Brann talks with readers about the conversa-
tions Socrates has with his fellow Athenians. She shows how Plato’s dialogues
and the timeless matters they address remain important to us today. From in-
troductory pieces on the Republic, the Phaedo, and the Sophist to an account of
the less well known Charmides, each essay starts where Plato starts, without pre-
supposing a critical theory. In the title essay’s brilliant account of the Republic,
Brann demonstrates its central importance in Plato’s work. Other essays con-
sider Plato’s notion of time, discuss how to teach Plato to undergraduates, and
contend that a thoughtful text-based study of Plato can have a very personal
impact on a reader. Encouraged to befriend the dialogues, readers will join in PHILOSOPHY
the great Socratic conversations. November

Demons in the Age of Light
A Memoir of Psychosis and Recovery
Whitney Robinson
With the skill of a gifted novelist, twenty-three-year-old Whitney Robinson

recounts the harrowing true story of her descent into mental illness soon
after she arrived at college. Her doctor labeled the illness schizophrenia, but
Whitney felt that she became possessed by a malevolent, seductive entity that
attempted to influence her into harming herself and others.
Institutionalized and heavily medicated, Whitney encounters other hor-
rors and mysteries within the walls of a psychiatric hospital. Determined to
release herself from pharmacological shackles, Whitney finally confronts and
expels her demon through sheer will and alternative methods, including an
attempted exorcism and shamanic healing.
Whitney’s saga parallels current discussions in the media regarding Ameri-
can psychiatry’s dependence on drug-based treatments and the renewed in-
terest in alternative healing methods of eastern and indigenous cultures,
which, according to a recent New York Times article “The Americanization of
Mental Illness,” have been revealed to be at least as effective as pharmaceuti-
cally driven treatments.
Whitney’s story of survival and personal growth will serve as a living model
for others on radio and television programs.

Renata Salecl
“You have no choice but to read this important book.”—Hanif Kureishi
We are encouraged from all sides to view our lives as being full of choices. Like
the products on a supermarket shelf, our careers, our relationships, our bod-
ies, our very identities seem to be there for the choosing. But paradoxically,
this seeming freedom to choose can create extreme anxiety and feelings of in-
adequacy. Choice explores how late capitalism’s shrill exhortations to “be one-

Beyond Behavior Management
The Six Life Skills Children Need

Why do children do the things they do? What can teachers do to manage it all?

Political Journeys
The openDemocracy Essays
Fred Halliday
Introduction by Stephen Howe
“Whatever the subjects . . . Halliday’s knowledge, imagination, and intellec-

tual independence illuminate them all.”—Francis Wheen
“Fred Halliday’s Political Journeys range over wide intellectual and political land-
scapes, with brilliant insights, absorbing narratives, lucid writing, and subtle
humour.”—Sami Zubaida
Fred Halliday always combined the broad sweep of modern history, its cur-
rents and ideas, with a profound knowledge of modern revolutions, the
Middle East, and national movements. This collection of articles written
for openDemocracy between 2004 and 2009 is proof of a subtle worldview
that continues to generate questions: what is the relation between religion,
nationalism, and progress? Is a new international order possible? When is
intervention a force for progress?
From the big headline topics like the Iraq War or the Danish cartoons, to
the unexpected comparisons of Tibet and Palestine, or Afghanistan and the
Falklands, Halliday is a perennially surprising and enlightening guide to the
major issues of international politics.

“More than any other woman, Nawal El Saadawi has come has come to em-
body the trials of Arab feminism.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“The leading spokeswoman on the status of women in the Arab World.”—Guardian
“El Saadawi writes with directness and passion.”—The New York Times
Bodour, a distinguished literary critic, carries with her a dark secret. As a young
university student, she fell in love with a political activist and gave birth to an
illegitimate daughter, Zeina, whom she abandoned on the streets of Cairo.
Zeina grows up to become one of Egypt’s most beloved entertainers, de-
spite being deprived of a family name and a home. Bodour in turn remains
trapped in a loveless marriage, pining for her daughter and lost love. In an at-
tempt to find solace, she writes a fictionalized account of her life, which then
mysteriously gets stolen.
Set against the backdrop of revolution in Cairo, Zeina is a tale about regret,
loss, and the courage it takes for a mother to face up to the mistakes of her past.

Parastou Forouhar
Art, Life and Death in Iran
Edited by Rose Issa
“Her response to the horrors of our times gives her work pupose and en-
ergy. . . . In her depiction of everyday mental and physical brutality, she cre-
ates images of aesthetic appeal but disturbing ambiguity.”—Lutz Becker
The Iranian artist Parastou Forouhar expresses her reaction to the perplexing
situations in her homeland through a wide variety of techniques, from pho-
tography to digital drawings and multi-media installations.
This publication presents a selection of her most startling work so far, cre-
ated in response to the dramatic social and political upheaval that she expe-
rienced after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the murder of her parents
in Tehran.
Though the inspiration behind Forouhar’s subject matter may be tragic,
her work has a great emotional range: the results are sometimes macabre, oc-
casionally darkly humorous, and often purely joyful.
Parastou Forouhar was born in 1962 in Tehran, and since 1991 has lived and
ART worked in Germany. She received her BA in art from the University of Tehran
September (1990) and her MA from the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main,

The Meaning of Mecca
The Politics of Pilgrimage in Early Islam
M.E. McMillan
The hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam, is a religious duty to be performed once in a
lifetime by all Muslims who are able. The Prophet Muhammad set out the rit-
uals of hajj when he led what became known as the Farewell Hajj in 10 AH (632
AD). This set the seal on Muhammad’s career as the founder of a religion and
the leader of a political entity based on that religion.
The convergence of the Prophet with the politician infuses the hajj with
political, as well as religious, significance. For the caliphs who led the Islamic
community after Muhammad’s death, leadership of the hajj became a posi-
tion of enormous political relevance as it presented them with an unrivaled
opportunity to proclaim their pious credentials and reinforce their political
legitimacy.
This unique study analyzes information provided by contemporary sources
about the leadership of the hajj in Islam’s formative period, between the seventh
and tenth centuries, and assesses the pilgrimage from a political perspective.
Published in advance of a major British Museum exhibition, The Hajj: Journey
to the Heart of Islam, opening in London in January 2012.

The New Post-Oil Arab Gulf
Managing People and Wealth
Edited by Nabil Sultan, David Weir, and
Zeinab Karake-Shalhoub
The sharp increase in oil revenues since 2002 has left the Arab Gulf States
with billions of petro-dollars. But how will these countries fare in the post-
oil era? The rulers of these states are taking serious measures to ensure the
survival of their economies, and indeed their regimes, in a world with scarce
mineral resources.
This book explores the extent to which these countries have been and
will be able to prepare for the future by transforming themselves into seri-
ous international destinations for tourism, finance, healthcare, and educa-
tion. It also considers the implications of failure for the future survival of
their regimes.
Topics covered include sovereign funds, Islamic finance, new technolo-
gies, higher education, and the role of women.
A timely study into this vibrant and important region, this book will pro-
vide food for thought for academics, policy makers, and general readers.

suggests in one essay, ‘a game we all [agree] to play,’ then Purpura is at once a
master of the game and a soulful, wild playmate.”—Leah Hager Cohen
“Purpura’s sense of the intricate rhythms of language, her carefully con-
structed imagery, her leaps of association and symbols all recall the language
of a poet. Her seductive, confessional voice, her need to be plain about her
own experiences as a mother, a writer, and an observer of the world call to
mind the works of the memoirist. And her finely tuned critical mind . . .
suggest[s] the work of the critic and aesthetic philospher. . . . In these essays,
Lia Purpura brings a nuanced, highly intelligent, critical eye to our most ca-
sual moments of perception.”—Kevin Prufer, Critical Mass

Something in My Eye
Stories
Michael J. Lee
Introduction by Francine Prose
“I was drawn to Michael J. Lee’s line-up of loners and drifters, imperiled chil-
dren, and haunted psychos neither because I want to hang out with these bad
boys, nor because I plan to cross the street when I see them coming, but be-
cause the invitation to inhabit their minds, to see the world through their
eyes, and to watch their often unsettling stories play out in space and time
enables Lee to do all sorts of extremely interesting things with consciousness
and language.”—Francine Prose, judge for the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short
Fiction
These are hyper-stylized fables of exiles—under bridges, holed up in bars

before the hurricane hits, and cast among the uncomprehending innocent.
Linking back to an eighteenth century grammar of predestination and for-
ward to a twenty-first century resignation to forces beyond our understand-
ing, Something in My Eye makes visible those we’d rather not see, according them
all the tenderness the world withholds. Winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in
Short Fiction.
Michael J. Lee lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he earns his living as
FICTION / SHORT STORIES a typist, waiter, and nightclub singer. A frequent contributor to Conjunctions,

Sallie Bingham
Praise for Sallie Bingham:

“Sallie Bingham binds her collection together with sheer talent. The title
novella is absolutely first-rate—a skillfully suggestive amalgam of Katherine
Mansfield and Eudora Welty. This same unblinking gaze is hard at work on
the essential weakness and dependence of men (‘The Banks of the Ohio’
and ‘The Ice Party’), the illusion of freedom that comes with divorce (‘Bare
Bones’), and the desperate terror of adolescent love (‘Winter Term’).”
—James R. Frakes, The New York Times Book Review
“Sallie Bingham’s characters scrutinize their relationships with children, lov-
ers, and their own treacherous souls. . . . Nearly every one of these flinty sto-
ries is a tiny masterpiece.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Hardened but not compromised by adult life, these luminous stories . . . fea-
ture narrators who find mature, often solitary forms of reckoning, and even
happiness. . . . There is not a false note in Bingham’s striking collection.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“These engaging tales span landscape, gender, and age, and readers will trea-
sure Bingham’s strikingly perceptive composition and refined, clever flashes FICTION / SHORT STORIES
of detail and clarity.”—Booklist October

The Hipster’s Guide to Rockabilly Music
Max Décharné
“As rip-roaring and exciting as the records and singers he eulogizes.”—Mojo
A Rocket in My Pocket charts the rise (and fall) of the original 1950s wave of rocka-
billies. It follows the progress of the music—in clubs, on radio, TV, and film,
pinpointing the key record labels and important regional centers, show-
ing how fashions changed and left rockabilly high and dry—far too wild and
primitive in an era of smoother sounds. Max Décharné traces the music from
its beginnings with the flamboyant Sun Sessions of Elvis in Memphis in 1954.

Denis Kehoe
“A moving, complex, and engrossing novel.”—The Irish Times
Ana has little knowledge about her birth mother: she knows that she gave Ana
away. She knows her mother’s name, but Solange Mendes is a common name
in Angola, so it, like Ana, could belong to anyone. Ana decides to travel from
her home in Dublin to try and locate Solange in post-revolutionary Angola.
Walking On Dry Land builds a delicate portrait of how when a family secret is un-
covered there can be explosive consequences.

Stand Up!
The Shifting Politics of Racial Uplift
Edited by Kenyon Farrow and Jared Sexton
We can do it ourselves, yes we can! If we go fluorescent and pull up our boots

(along with our pants), we can prevent global warming, halt the cradle to
prison pipeline, even outwit global capital. We are DIY. And have to be; it’s
clear the government won’t do it for us.
Such is the rallying cry taken up, both in earnest and tongue-in-cheek, by
organizers, activists, and politicians of many stripes. Such also is the rheto-
ric of those who preach racial uplift, among whose boosters are NPR’s Tavis
Smiley, black megachurches, and the iconic Bill Cosby. It’s this tradition that
Stand Up! The Shifting Politics of Racial Uplift interrogates.
Bound for controversy, Stand Up! rigorously examines the re-emergence of
racial uplift politics, identifying its possibilities and its paradoxes: Have the
new advocates of self-help—including but not limited to those championing
“the politics of respectability”—been able to transcend the anti-democratic
politics, class elitism, misogyny, and homophobia that have often plagued
such movements? Moreover, can politics with allies like Wal-Mart truly pro-
mote social justice? How and why have corporate and governmental insti-
tutions jumped on this bandwagon? Does a politics preaching self-reliance
inherently further politically and economically conservative aims?

Red Dirt Revival
a poetic memoir in 6 breaths
Tim’m T. West
Tim’m T. West has been hailed by James Earl Hardy for “merging the floetry of
Jay-Z and Nikki Giovanni” and by Jan Clausen for “[carrying] forward Audre
Lorde’s practice of poetry as the ‘light by which we scrutinize our lives.’”
Now an underground classic, Red Dirt Revival introduced a stunning talent in
the tradition of poet-truthtellers such as Audre Lorde, Cherríe Moraga, and
Adrienne Rich, and helped build Tim’m T. West’s loyal fan base among music
lovers, academics, poets, activists, and anyone who has experienced alienation
even in the place they call home. A Gen-X remix of Portrait of the Artist as a Young
Man, it tells the story of a burgeoning artist growing up poor, black, and queer
in the rural south, and coming of age in the halls of feminist academe and
the world of underground hip hop. In a voice that trembles with both vul-
nerability and swagger, West’s sharply observed memoir is charged with love,
anger, eroticism, betrayal, forgiveness, and more love still, and demands that
we radically expand our notions of what critical theory and liberation might
look like.
Like fragments from a radical notebook or a broken heart that refuses to
stop beating, Red Dirt Revival disinters—from “commonsense” understand-
ings of how men are made from boys—the senseless violence that patriarchal
visions of gender, race, sexuality, family, and the world requires. Now in an
expanded, critical tenth-anniversary edition, this important contribution to
feminist thought reads like a working artist’s lyric journal, all while bearing
the terror, grace, and radical imagination of an entire generation.

Cherríe Moraga
“Vulnerable and wise, [The Last Generation] sets us yearning with the author ‘to
be fully known and loved.’”—Library Journal
“I adore Cherríe Moraga’s work. . . . She is absolutely essential.”—Junot Díaz
At last available to US audiences in Spanish, Cherríe Moraga’s classic work

La última generación (The Last Generation) is an electric mix of prose and poetry that
continues conversations started in the beloved books This Bridge Called My Back
and Loving in the War Years. Highly politicized and intensely personal, Moraga’s
work dares to imagine the mythic nation Queer Atzlán: a brave vision for gen-
der, sexuality, race, art, nationalism, and the politics of liberation.
Moraga crosses literary genres to ruminate on the paradox of being at once
inside and outside the myriad struggles and communities—interlocking and
often at odds—that spur her art and activism. Speaking from her experience as
a queer Chicana activist/artist, Moraga is committed to building a broad poli-
tic of solidarity and justice for all dispossessed people.
With fierce honesty and incisive political analysis, Moraga offers more than
an inspiring portrait of the struggle of an activist artist—she helps us see the
world as it is and dream it up anew. POETRY / WOMEN’S STUDIES

Writings on Culture and Style in Contemporary Japan
Donald Richie
This definitive new collection of essays by the writer Time calls “the dean of
arts critics in Japan” ranges from Kyogen drama to the sex shows of Shinjuku,
from film and Buddhism to Butoh and retro rock ’n’ roll, from wasei eigo
(Japanese/English) to mizushobai, the fine art of pleasing. Spanning some fifty
years, these thirty-seven essays—most never anthologized before—offer cross-
sections of Japan’s enormous cultural power. They reflect the unique perspec-
tive of a man attempting to understand his adopted home.
The writings of Donald Richie—film critic, reviewer, novelist, and essayist—

TRAVEL have influenced generations of Japan observers around the world.

Talonbooks
Vancouver, Canada
Talon was founded as a high-school poetry magazine in Vancouver in 1963, moving to the University
of British Columbia with its graduating students in 1965. By 1967, Talon Magazine had published the
first works of so many young writers, it decided to become their book publisher.
Starting with poetry, including the first book (Sticks & Stones) of Canada’s first poet laureate George
Bowering, Talonbooks diversified into drama with Beverley Simons’ Crabdance, George Ryga’s The Ecstasy
of Rita Joe, and James Reaney’s Colours in the Dark in 1969; into fiction with Jane Rule’s Desert of the Heart and
Audrey Thomas’ Songs My Mother Taught Me in 1973; into Quebec literature in translation with Robert
Gurik’s The Trial of Jean Baptiste M. and Michel Tremblay’s Les Belles Soeurs in 1975; and into nonfiction with
the collected works of ethnographer Charles Hill-Tout, The Salish People, Volumes I–IV, in 1979.
In the early 1980s, the press experimented with publishing several highly successful commercial
titles, but returned to its original, exclusively literary mandate in 1985.
Over the past two decades, Talon has diversified its literary list to include critical works on
flashpoints in the Middle East and on global socioeconomic issues and politics.
Talon’s dedication to the publication of over four decades of excellent Canadian literary work,
published through an unbroken line of internal mentorship and succession of ownership in the
company, has earned our publishing house the privilege of being one of the preeminent independent
Anglophone literary presses in Canada. The largest independent publisher of drama in the country,
we publish more translations from Quebec than anyone else, more Native voices than any other
Canadian publisher, and our diverse list has come to include numerous works from the Japanese,
Chinese, African, and South Asian Canadian communities.
Our current books in print have garnered over three hundred awards.

Taking My Life
Jane Rule
Introduction by Linda Morra
Discovered in her papers as a handwritten manuscript in 2008, Jane Rule’s

autobiography is a rich and culturally significant document that follows the
first twenty-one years of her life.
In writing about her formative years, she is indeed “taking” the measure
of her life, assessing its contours of pleasure and pain, and accounting pre-
cisely for how it evolved, with great discretion and consideration for those
who might have been affected by being represented in her work. She appre-
ciated the ambiguity of the title she chose, with all its implications of suicide:
at the end of her writing life, she was submitting herself to critical scrutiny,
allowing herself to be vulnerable as a person to not only the literary and cul-
tural, but also the moral and ethical critique of her readers.
At turns deeply moving and witty, Taking My Life probes in emotional and in-
tellectual terms the larger philosophical questions that were to preoccupy her
throughout her literary career, and showcases the origins and contexts that
gave shape to Rule’s rich intellectual life. Her autobiography will appeal to
avid followers of her work, delighted to discover another of her works that has,
until now, remained unpublished.

Miss Take
Réjean Ducharme
Translated by Will Browning
Teenagers Miles and Chateaugue have run away from home and soon form a
suicide pact to preserve their fleeting innocence. Written in a style that echoes
Arthur Rimbaud and William S. Burroughs, Réjean Ducharme’s vision is
darkly prophetic of a world that has lost its way, on which “our lady of good
help” only gazes with an inscrutable Mona Lisa smile.
Réjean Ducharme is one of Quebec’s most influential authors, and also one
of the province’s enigmas: the man has not been seen in public for over a
decade.

Lise Tremblay
Translated by Linda Gaboriau
In 1968 an eleven-year-old girl contemplates her social prospects. Her mother

is prepared to do anything to make sure her children don’t grow up “ignorant”
like Judith’s attractive sister Claire. This coming-of-age novel focuses on soli-
tude, alienation, obesity, lies, sexuality, shame, madness, and fear of strang-
ers, and everyone’s first encounters with the betrayals of friends, family, and
community.
Born in 1957 in Saguenay, award-winning Lise Tremblay is one of Quebec’s

In Piazza San Domenico
Steve Galluccio
Steve Galluccio’s newest stage triumph is a comedy set in 1952 Naples. It re-
counts how one broken engagement ripples throughout friends and family,
affecting all of their respective lives in different ways. In a world conflicted
by traditional values and postwar-era thinking, theatrical archetypes evolve
into stereotypes that became hallmarks of the Sophia Loren and Marcello
Mastroianni films in the early 1960s.
A favorite of the Montreal Fringe Festival, Steve Galluccio is a playwright with

a delightful flair for comedy. His fast-paced plays are full of populist art,
local references, and camp sensibility. DRAMA

The Strange Truth About Us

M.A.C. Farrant
“Anthropologist of the absurd” and “brave iconoclast,” M.A.C. Farrant posi-

tively bristles in this three-part novel-length work of prose fragments, snip-
pets, questions, speculations, and meditations, by turns philosophical, dark,
comedic, and lyrical in its attempts to imagine a multitude of possible futures
for our accelerated age. It offers her readers nothing less than The Strange Truth
About Us.
M.A.C. Farrant is the acclaimed author of nine previous collections of sa-

tirical and humorous short fiction, and two works of non-fiction. Her work is
infused with acerbic wit and innovation, and her surrealistic visions of every- FICTION
day life are startlingly precise. October

Shake Off
Mischa Hiller
“Hiller recalls the cool detachment and compelling eye for the ordinary detail
that characterised the early thrillers of Graham Greene.”—Independent on Sunday
“Hiller’s fiction joins great Arabic novels such as Love in Exile by Bahaa Taher
and Elias Khoury’s Gate of the Sun.”—Guardian
“Powerful and thought-provoking, this is a book that stays with the reader.
Mr Hiller’s Shake Off is hard to shake off.”—The Economist
London 1989: Michel is an undercover PLO operative hooked on painkillers

and posing as a student. He is tasked by mentor Abu Leila to find a venue for
secret Palestinian–Israeli talks. But fellow student Helen, forbidden fruit in
this clandestine world, is proving to be a distraction.
Michel is forced to go on the run when he takes possession of a package
smuggled out of the Occupied Territories and linked to an assassination in
Berlin—a package that both the Israelis and the Palestinians are desperate to
get hold of.
From the streets of London, Cambridge, and Berlin to the remotest areas
of Scotland, Michel must use his KGB training and Helen’s help to shake off
his pursuers and stay one step ahead. FICTION

From the Mouth of the Whale
Sjón
Translated by Victoria Cribb
“Achingly brilliant, an epic made mad, made extraordinary.”—Junot Díaz

“Hallucinatory, lyrical, by turns comic and tragic, this extraordinary novel
should make Sjón an international name. His evocation of seventeenth cen-
tury Iceland through the eyes of a man born before his time has stuck in my
mind like nothing else I’ve read in the last year.”—Hari Kunzru
The year is 1635. Iceland is a world darkened by superstition, poverty, and

cruelty.
Men of science marvel over a unicorn’s horn, poor folk worship the Virgin
in secret, and both books and men are burnt.
Jónas Pálmason, a poet and self-taught healer, has been condemned to
exile for heretical conduct, having fallen foul of the local magistrate. Banished
to a barren island, Jónas recalls his gift for curing “female maladies,” his ex-
orcism of a walking corpse on the remote Snjáfjöll coast, the frenzied massa-
cre of innocent Basque whalers at the hands of local villagers, and the deaths
of three of his children.
Sjón was born in Reykjavik in 1962. He won the Nordic Council’s Literature
FICTION Prize (the equivalent of the Man Booker Prize) for The Blue Fox, which was also
January longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2009. Sjón was nomi-

My Animal Life
Maggie Gee
“A wise and beautiful book about what it feels like to be alive—I really loved
it.”—Zadie Smith
“Maggie Gee’s account of her life as a writer cuts to the bone as she relives tri-
umphs, rejections, despair, and renewal. It’s a wonderful book, for its bold-
ness and vigor, and for its piercing honesty.”—Claire Tomalin
How do you become a writer, and why?

Maggie Gee’s journey starts in a small family in post-war Britain, a long
way from the literary world. At seventeen, Maggie goes, a lamb to the slaugh-
ter, to university. From the 1960s onwards she lives the defining events of her
generation: the coming of the Pill and sexual freedom, tremors in the British
layer-cake of class and race. In the 1980s, Maggie finally gets published, falls
in love, marries, and has a daughter—but for the next three decades and be-
yond, she survives, and sometimes thrives, by writing. This frank, bold mem-
oir dares to explore the big questions: success and failure, sex, death, and
parenthood—our animal life.
Maggie Gee was chosen as one of Granta’s original Best Young British BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Novelists. She has published many novels to great acclaim, including The September
5¾ x 8⅞ | 232 pp
White Family, shortlisted for the Orange and IMPAC prizes; My Cleaner; The Flood, Trade Cloth US $21.95 | CAN $25.50
longlisted for the Orange Prize; and The Ice People. She was the first female chair 978-1-84659-987-3 USC
of the Royal Society of Literature from 2004–2008 and is now one of its vice
presidents.
Maggie Gee’s memoir paints a fine, honest, complex portrait,

chronicling the successes and pitfalls of a writer’s life.

Aamer Hussein
“A thing of beauty. . . . You must read it.”—Nadeem Aslam

“A shower of pleasures.”—Julia O’Faolain
“Sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and seductive, the novel engages mind and senses
alike.”—The Times Literary Supplement
Like his parents, he too spent many hours sending cloud messages to other places, messages of longing
for something that he knew existed otherwhere.
London, that distant rainy place his father lived in once, is where Mehran
finds himself after leaving Karachi in his teens. And it is there that his adult
life unfolds: he discovers the joys of poetry, faces the trials of love and work,
and spends his dreaming hours “sending cloud messages to other places,”
hoping, one day, to tell his own story.
A feeling of not quite belonging anywhere pursues Mehran as he travels to
Italy, India, and Pakistan. But the relationships he forms—with wounded, pas-
sionate Marvi, volatile Marco, and the enigmatic Riccarda—and his power of
recollection finally bring him some sense, however fleeting, of home.
FICTION

The Intelligent Homosexual’s
Guide to Capitalism & Socialism with
a Key to the Scriptures
Tony Kushner
“The clear successor to Kushner’s masterpiece, Angels in America, picking up
many of the same arguments about love, sexuality, and politics while adding
many more.”—Minnesota Monthly
“Sprawling, yearning . . . packed with a level of complexity, sophistication and
understanding that distinguishes it as a potentially important new American
work.”—Variety
Tony Kushner returns to his big topics with trademark humor and passion in
a play titled after two nineteeth-century treatises: George Bernard Shaw’s The
Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism and Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures.
In the Sumer of 2007, Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman and
cousin of the late congressman Vito Marcantonio, summons his three adult
children to the family’s Brooklyn brownstone to vote on the question of his
committing suicide. The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism & Socialism with a
Key to the Scriptures explores revolution, radicalism, marriage, sex, prostitution,
politics, real estate, unions of all kinds, and debts both unpaid and unpayable.

The Book of Grace
Suzan-Lori Parks
“[Suzan-Lori Parks’] dislocating stage devices, stark but poetic language and
fiercely idiosyncratic images transform her work into something haunting and
marvelous.”—Time
“An original whose fierce intelligence and fearless approach to craft subvert
theatrical convention and produce a mature and inimitable art that is as excit-
ing as it is fresh.”—August Wilson
Named one of the “100 Innovators for the Next New Wave” by Time magazine,
Suzan-Lori Parks is a truly original voice of the American theater. Winner of
the Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur “Genius” Award, Parks is renowned for
her groundbreaking language, theatricality, and an aesthetic that continues to
evolve in unexpected ways. Her first full-length play since her award-winning
Topdog/Underdog, The Book of Grace is a scorching three-person drama in which a
young man returns home to south Texas to confront his father, unearthing
deep-seated passions and ambition. The play premiered in spring 2010 at the
Public Theater, where Parks is in the midst of a three-year residency as the
DRAMA

By the Way, Meet Vera Stark
Lynn Nottage
“Nottage is one of our finest playwrights, a smart, empathetic and daring sto-
ryteller who tells a story an audience won’t expect.”—Time Out New York
“Lynn Nottage’s work explores depths of humanness, the overlapping com-
plexities of race, gender, culture, and history—and the startling simplicity of
desire—with a clear tenderness, with humor, with compassion.”—Paula Vogel,
winner of the Pulitzer Prize
In her first new play since the critically acclaimed Ruined, Lynn Nottage ex-
amines the legacy of African Americans in Hollywood in a dramatic stylistic
departure from her previous work. Fluidly incorporating film and video ele-
ments into her writing for the first time, Nottage’s comedy tells the story of
Vera Stark, a headstrong African American maid and budding actress who has
a tangled relationship with her boss, a white Hollywood star desperately grasp-
ing to hold onto her career. Stirring audiences out of complacency by tack-
ling racial stereotyping in the entertainment industry—a topic that remains
largely unexplored in mainstream arts and entertainment—Nottage highlights
the paradox of black actors in 1930s Hollywood while jumping back and for-
ward in time and location in this uniquely theatrical narrative.

Rabbit Hole (movie tie-in)
David Lindsay-Abaire
“David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that’s not just a departure but a
revelation—an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, in-
sightfulness, compassion, and searing honesty.”—Variety
“The sad, sweet release of Rabbit Hole lies precisely in the access it allows to the
pain of others, in its meticulously mapped empathy. This anatomy of grief
doesn’t so much jerk tears as tap them, from a reservoir of feelings common
to anyone who has experienced the landscape-shifting vacuum left by a death
in the family.”—The New York Times
David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize–winning play, a thoughtful and pene-

trating rumination on grief and mourning, is now a major motion pic-
ture. This movie tie-in edition of the film from Lionsgate starring Nicole
Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, and Dianne Wiest is a story of loss, heartbreak, and
forgiveness—told through daily moments and emotional hurdles—as a fam-
ily moves on after the accidental death of their four-year-old son. Following
a critically acclaimed Broadway premiere in 2006, Rabbit Hole has been hailed
as an artistic breakthrough for the highly regarded playwright. A drama of the
aftermath of tragedy, it captures “the awkwardness and pain of thinking people

Orlando/Three Sisters
Virginia Woolf and Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Sarah Ruhl
“[Ruhl’s Orlando] captures both the intellectual spirit and the literary bril-
liance of Woolf’s work. . . . Ruhl writes with the imaginative sweep that allows
Woolf’s poetry to soar.”—Variety
“Sarah Ruhl’s smart new translation [of Three Sisters] feels just right to contem-
porary American ears—lean, colloquial, and conversational for us and true to
Chekhov’s original work.”—The Cincinnati Enquirer
In her stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s gender-bending, period-hopping

novel, award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl “is her usual unfailingly ele-
gant, unbeatably witty self, cleverly braiding her own brand-name wit with
Woolf’s” (New York magazine). Preserving Woolf’s vital ideas and lyrical tone,
Ruhl brings to the stage the life of an Elizabethan nobleman who’s magically
transformed into an immortal woman. In her fresh translation of Three Sisters,
the Anton Chekhov classic of ennui and frustration, Ruhl employs her signa-
ture lyricism and elegant understanding of intimacy to reveal the discontent
felt by fretful Olga, unhappy Masha, and idealistic Irina as they long to leave

Color of Desire/Hurricane
Two Plays by Nilo Cruz
Nilo Cruz
“The words of Nilo Cruz waft from the stage like a scented breeze. They
sparkle and prickle and swirl, enveloping those who listen in both specific
place and time . . . and in timeless passions that touch us all.”—The Miami Herald
One of the United States’ most-produced Cuban American writers, Nilo

Cruz employs his signature poetic imagery and vivid language to tender and
humorous effect in this pair of his newest works. The Color of Desire, set in 1960
Havana, revolves around a passionate romance between an American busi-
nessman and an out-of-work Cuban actress. As the relationship becomes a
metaphor for their countries’ ruptured love affair, Cruz artfully weds magical
realism to a familial story that is touching, harrowing, and funny. In Hurricane,
a damaged family—a fire-and-brimstone missionary; his wife, who he saved in
more than the spiritual sense; and their adopted son, who seems to have mate-
rialized from the ocean—face a shocking crisis when a hurricane ravages their
Caribbean town. A celebration of humility, generosity, and kindness, Cruz’s
play explores the nature of identity, faith, and the redemptive power of love.

The Happiness Equation
The Surprising Economics of Our Most Valuable Asset
Nick Powdthavee
“This intelligent and entertaining book shows how the scientific study of hap-
piness is changing the field of economics—and the world!”—Daniel Gilbert,

“An adventure to one of the new frontiers of knowledge, this book is a master-
ful blend of personal experience, contemporary culture, and social science.”

Everybody wants to be happy. But how much happiness will each life choice
bring? Should I get married? Am I going to feel good in that new job? Is see-
ing friends worth more than a Ferrari? How can we decide not only which
choice is better for us, but how much better?
The Happiness Equation reveals the cutting-edge new science of happiness eco-
nomics for the first time and explains, quantifiably, how and why some things
matter more to our happiness than others.

Inflight Science
A Guide to the World From Your Airplane Window
Brian Clegg
Every moment of your airplane journey is an opportunity to experience sci-

ence in action—Inflight Science will be your guide. Brian Clegg explains the ever-
changing view from your window seat, whether it’s crop circles or clouds,
mountains or river deltas. He describes easy-to-do experiments to show how
a wing provides lift, how to calculate how far away you are from distant ob-
jects, or the population of the towns you fly over. You’ll learn why the coast-
line is infinite in length, the cause of thunderstorms, and the true impact of
volcanic ash on aircraft engines.
Fascinating facts to discover include:
• The jet stream winds are so fast that a plane travelling west to east
within them can fly beyond the speed of sound.
• The wingspan of a 747 is twice the distance flown by the Wright Flyer,
the first powered plane, on its maiden flight.
• There’s absolutely no chance of you getting stuck on an airline vacuum
toilet!
• The explanation for how an aircraft wing works was totally wrong for a
long time.
Packed full of amazing insights from physics, chemistry, engineering, ge-
ography, and more, Inflight Science is a voyage of scientific discovery perfect for SCIENCE / TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING

Being Bipolar
Stories from Those Living with the Disorder and
Those Who Love Them
Edited by Rachel Ellen Koski
“The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is an opportunity, not a life sentence.”

—Robert E. Soper, MD, Diplomate, American Board of Psychiatry and
Neurology
Excerpt from “Jinny’s Story”:

That’s the hardest endeavor most days—finding balance.
I really wish everyone could understand it is a physical problem in my brain due to chemical im-
balances. I don’t want to be thought of as crazy or weak.
I’m scared. I’m harsh enough on myself and I don’t need others judging me as well.
Millions of lives are affected by bipolar disorder. Unique among thousands

of titles on the subject, Being Bipolar presents powerful stories of those living
with the disorder and from loved ones’ perspectives. Individual personal sto-
ries are written in their own words, unlike other books with their focus on
medical information or one person’s life story. Personal experiences of pain,
growth, fear, and hope are shared, seeking to give support and break through
the misinformation and stigma associated with the disorder.

Broken Irish
Edward J. Delaney
“In Edward J. Delaney’s South Boston little is lost, nothing forgotten. Old
sins, old wounds haunt his characters, young and old, and reverberate
throughout his wonderfully complicated plot. Broken Irish is an enthralling, sat-
isfying novel.”—Margot Livesey
“An entire community is on the brink. Hope is the only hope. And faith can-
not scrub the grime off its hands. With Broken Irish, Edward J. Delaney delivers
a gripping epic.”—Adam Braver
Broken Irish is a passionately written novel about revenge, redemption, and al-
coholism. It’s a story driven by character, community, and coincidence set in
south Boston in the late 1990s, a time when even the local parish church is
party to a scandal about to unravel. With tight control and a powerful narrative
drive, Edward J. Delaney’s Broken Irish offers a vantage point from which to view
the sad workings of an entire deteriorating society. The author tells his mov-
ing story in short chapters that are filled with incident and drive—jump cuts
that can compete with any cleverly written HBO weekly series.
Edward J. Delaney is the winner of a 2008 Literary Fellowship from the FICTION

The Wilshire Sun
Joshua Baldwin
“Baldwin’s characters search for fame in the shape-shifting landscape of

Hollywood. He has a voice that follows the mirage even after it disappears.
The Wilshire Sun is a surreal, giddily original debut that plumbs the myth of Los
Angeles.”—James Frey
The Wilshire Sun is a mirthful novella about a whimsical, hapless, over-aspiring,

under-achieving young writer from Brooklyn who moves to Los Angeles
hoping to write for the movies. With understated deadpan humor and dy-
namic, sly, original language and off-kilter imagery, Joshua Baldwin has cre-
ated a novella that may remind readers of an improbable roundtable meeting
of Tao Lin, James Thurber, S.J. Perelman, and Jack Benny. The elements
of the novella’s constitution—clipped pieces of fast-paced immediate narra-
tive interspersed with epistolary matter and off-the-cuff riffs on junk food,
screenwriting, Walt Whitman, big brothers, bum grandfathers, and crackpot
friends—magically hang together and offer a delightfully absurd portrait of the
artist as a young man for our times in the City of Angels.
Joshua Baldwin was born in New York in 1984. He graduated from the col-
FICTION lege at the University of Chicago in 2006. He is the author of the chapbook

Dear Prudence
David Trinidad
“This magnum opus confirms David Trinidad’s place in the poetic firmament:
he is simply the best we have. A worthy successor to James Schuyler, Trinidad
writes soulfully and sometimes photorealistically about the melancholy thresh-
old where dolls and stars become inner objects—dirty, glamorous, destruc–
tible. Jacqueline Susann meets Sei Shōnagon? Trinidad manages to combine
neo-formalist abstraction with dripping gorgeous figuration: Bonnard’s wet
dream.”—Wayne Koestenbaum
“This is a volume celebratory in tone, panoramic in scope, funny, and genu-
inely moving. Trinidad is at the center of what’s relevant in his art. And this
collection is more vital and more enjoyable than any single performance he
has given thus far.”—D.A. Powell
“Trinidad attends to the present to see into the past with such needle point
precision it’s like encountering a perfectly appointed movie set where personal
memory crosses intimately with cultural memory. Poetic form in Trinidad’s
hands is a metaphor for staking a claim on the material world even as it slips
away in a shimmery Hollywood dissolve—a desperate, doomed reclamation of
all that can never be held long enough.”—Robyn Schiff
“Utterly deadpan and astonishingly fine” is how Publishers Weekly described the
poems of David Trinidad. And here is the collection all David Trinidad fans

What It Is Like
Charles North
“Charles North is the master of multitasking—all experience opens to him at

every moment—as well as the master tout court. He belongs on the summit of the
American Parnassus.”—Harry Mathews
“North is a younger compatriot of O’Hara and Ashbery, and his nonchalance
aspiring to greatness finds the same ‘risks inside art’ that other poets found
in the city. Juggling a satiric self-consciousness with a ‘strange mischief,’
North pulls death-defying propositions and playful mockeries from thin air.”
“The business of examining exactly what one means is central to North’s con-
cept of the role of the poet, and he is especially alert to the way particulars and
ideas interact in our constructions of meaning. The urge to hold out ‘particu-
lars’ to the reader is mediated through an alert, sophisticated consciousness
insistently aware of convention and genre.”—Mark Ford
“The challenge of writing about the sensual qualities of New York City which
seems so tired, by North’s pen becomes transcendent again. And that’s only
POETRY one of the things his poetry accomplishes. He is witty when wit seems all but

Damascus
Joshua Mohr
“[Mohr] has a generous understanding of his characters, whom he describes

with an intelligence and sensitivity that pulls you in.”—The New York Times Book
Review (editors’ choice) on Termite Parade
It’s 2003 and the country is divided evenly for and against the Iraq War.
Damascus, a dive bar in San Francisco’s Mission District, becomes the un-
likely setting for a showdown between the opposing sides.
Tensions come to a boil when Owen, the bar’s proprietor who has recently
taken to wearing a Santa suit full-time, agrees to host the joint’s first (and
only) art show by Sylvia Suture, an ambitious young artist who longs to take
her act to the dramatic precipice of the high-wire by nailing live fish to the
walls as a political statement.
An incredibly creative and fully rendered cast of characters orbit the bar.
There’s No Eyebrows, a cancer patient who has come to the Mission to die
anonymously; Shambles, the patron saint of the hand job; Revv, a lead singer
who acts too much like a lead singer; and Owen, donning his Santa costume
to mask the most unfortunate birthmark imaginable. FICTION

Baby Geisha
Trinie Dalton
“If fiction were a giant transporter, I’d want to go to Trinie Dalton’s world.”
—Los Angeles Times on Wide Eyed
Baby Geisha is a collection of thirteen sexually-charged stories that roam from

the Coney Island Ferris wheel to the Greek Isles.
True to Trinie Dalton’s form, the stories in Baby Geisha are distinctly imag-
ined while also representing a more grounded approach in the author’s style.
There’s the Joan Didion-obsessed starving journalist of “Pura Vida,” strug-
gling to maintain a relationship with her performance artist sisters (or any-
one, for that matter), on assignment in Costa Rica to write an article on
sloth-hugging. “Millennium Chill” is about a woman who discovers that her
body heat is mysteriously linked to that of an elderly beggar.
The story “War Foods” begins with these memorable lines: “‘Let’s go down-
town and get some government cheese,’ my father used to say to my brother
and I. He thought that was entertainment enough for the weekends he had us
in his custody.”
Baby Geisha serves to support Dalton’s reputation as a remarkable stylist

I’m Trying to Reach You
Barbara Browning
Praise for Barbara Browning’s The Correspondence Artist:

“Intelligent. . . . A pleasure to read.”—Bookslut
“A deft look at modern life that’s both witty and devastating.”—Nylon
I was in Zagreb the day that Michael Jackson died. When I heard the news, the first thing I thought
was, That’s it. That’s the first line of my novel. “I was in Zagreb the day that Michael Jackson died.”
First Michael Jackson, then Pina Bausch. Next is Merce Cunningham.

Gray Adams, a former dancer with the Royal Swiss Ballet at work on his
dissertation at NYU, has a theory spurred by countless hours of YouTube-
based procrastination: someone is killing these famous dancers! (And he may
bear an uncanny resemblance to Jimmy Stewart, circa Vertigo.)
I’m Trying to Reach You is a moving and candid contemporary look at how we
process grief, as well as how we love and communicate with one another.
In the author’s consideration of gender, race, and class, she also attempts
to relate what it truly means to be an American in this modern age. FICTION

El Gavilan
Craig McDonald
“The competition for the future of crime fiction is fierce, as it should be, but
don’t take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He’s wily, talented and—rarest of the
rare—a true original. He writes melancholy poetry that actually has melancholy
poets wandering around, but don’t turn your backs on them, either. I am al-
ways eager to see what he’s going to do next.”—Laura Lippman
The news is full of it: escalating tensions from illegal immigration, headless
bodies hanging off bridges, and bounties placed on lawmen on both sides of
the border. New Austin, Ohio, is a town grappling with waves of undocu-
mented workers who exert tremendous pressure on schools, police, and city
services. In the midst of the turmoil, three very different kinds of cops scram-
ble to maintain control and impose order.
But the rape and murder of a Mexican American woman triggers a bru-
tal chain of events that threatens to leave no survivors. El Gavilan is a novel of
shifting alliances and whiplash switchbacks. Families are divided and careers
and lives threatened. Friendships and ideals are tested and budding love af-
fairs challenged. With its topical themes, shades-of- gray characters, and dark
canvas, El Gavilan is a novel for our charged times.

Reed Farrel Coleman
“The biggest mysteries in our genre are why Reed Coleman isn’t already huge,
and why Moe Prager isn’t already an icon.”—Lee Child
At a pre-wedding party for his daughter Sarah, Moe Prager is approached by

his ex-wife and former PI partner Carmella Melendez. It seems Carmella’s es-
tranged sister Alta has been murdered, but no one in New York City seems to
care. Why? Alta, a FDNY EMT, and her partner had months earlier refused to
give assistance to a dying man at a fancy downtown eatery. Moe decides to help
Carmella as a means to distract himself from his own life and death struggle.
Making headway on the case is no mean feat as no one, including Alta’s part-
ner Maya Watson, wants to cooperate. Moe chips away until he discovers a
cancer roiling just below the surface, a cancer whose symptoms include bu-
reaucratic greed, sexual harassment, and blackmail. But is any of it connected
to Alta’s brutal murder?
Reed Farrel Coleman has won or been nominated for nearly every major

At a time when the immigration debate is boiling over, Americans are losing
the ability to discuss the very phenomenon that has defined who we are as a
nation. Using narratives and photographs, Green Card Stories introduces fifty re-
markable people from every continent who are currently contributing their
energy, talent, and commitment to the American heartland. Part of a multi-

Introduction by Julian Stallabrass
In modern, spare and elegant portraiture, artist Cindy Hwang (CYJO) high-
lights the diversity, identity, and immigration of the global kyopo, those of
Korean descent that reside outside of the Korean Peninsula. CYJO decon-
textualizes her subjects to emphasize a sense of forced unity, allowing their
spectrum of experience to contradict the apparent sameness of identity.
Juxtaposed are the graduate student, the novelist, the activist, the architect.
Through photographs and profiles, KYOPO challenges the idea of a mono-
lithic, “authentic” Korean identity while stimulating exploration and a re-
newed perception of what it means to be both Korean and a citizen of the
world. PHOTOGRAPHY / ASIAN STUDIES

Sayeh shows tremendous range, from the inward, spare lyric to bardic incan-

blending traditional Persian verse in the spirit of Rumi and Hāfez with issues
of contemporary Iranian society. Chad Sweeney and Mojdeh Marashi have de-

China’s Lost Decade
Gregory B. Lee
The period in China’s recent history between the death of Mao and the de-
bacle of 1989 can be seen as a long decade, but also historically as a “lost” de-
cade. It is “lost” in the sense that the political engagement of intellectuals and
makers of culture was erased by China’s official history makers; it is also “lost”
in that its memory has been abandoned even by many who lived through it;
“lost” also in the embarrassed silence of those who prefer to focus on the sub-
sequent economic miracle of the 1990s that gave rise to today’s more pros-
perous China; and “lost” as a time of opportunity for cultural and political
change that ultimately did not happen. The relevance of the lost decade to
China’s living, if untold, history was once more made clear by the conferral
of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize on Liu Xiaobo, a political activist since 1989,
and by the awarding of the 2010 Neustadt literature prize to the poet Duoduo
whose poetry and personal trajectory loom large in Gregory B. Lee’s book.
Gregory B. Lee was educated in London and Peking. He has taught at the uni-
versities of Cambridge, London, Chicago, Hong Kong, and Lyon, and is cur-
rently chair professor of Chinese and transcultural studies at City University
of Hong Kong. He is the author of Dai Wangshu: The Life and Poetry of a Chinese HISTORY

Selected Poems of Han Dong
Han Dong
Edited and translated by Nicky Harman
In a 1989 interview, Han Dong declared that he wrote poetry for nobody, not
even himself. He likens the poet to a roofer: “I write poetry for the constitu-
tion of poetry, just as a roofer gives no thought to who lives in the house whose
roof he is covering—he builds to meet the criteria of what a house is. Poetry is
not subordinate to purposes beyond itself: its highest purpose is to be with-
out purpose.”
So–and–so’s come to a sad end . . .”
In the gloom, he smiles gently, lovingly
As if to say I can rely on him in this world of nothingness
“But the thing is, we could never be sure
. . .”
“We probably should” and “Possibly”. . .
Earnest words like the thread in a foster mother’s hand
As she darns a monk’s ragged robe
That’s a story that can’t be darned
“Poor man!”—The thread is knotted
But the knot in my heart tries to pass through the needle’s eye
