Karen Alpert, I HEART MY LITTLE A-HOLES
Willam Morrow; April 8, 2014 (previously self-published)
Translation/Film/TV: C&S
New York Times Bestseller
When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he’s an a-hole. When
your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she’s an a-hole.
When your rug rats purposely decorate the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they’re a-holes. So
it’s only natural to want to kill them sometimes. Of course you can’t because you’d go to prison, and
then you’d really never get to poop alone again. Plus, there’s that whole loving them more than
anything in the whole world thing. I Heart My Little A-Holes is full of hilarious stories, lists, thoughts
and pictures that will make you laugh so hard you’ll wish you were wearing a diaper.
“Crass, inappropriate and absolutely hysterical. In other words, absolutely everything you could
want in a parenting book and more.” (Jill Smokler, author of Confessions of a Scary Mommy)
“Beware of Mom: She bites. Karen is crass and abrasive and makes no apologies, nor should she.
Her take on family life is funny, filthy and familiar... Reading her stories will make you laugh so
hard...your head will explode.” (Nicole Knepper, author of Moms Who Drink and Swear)
KAREN ALPERT is the ridiculously hairy, self-deprecating writer of the popular blog Baby
Sideburns. Her Facebook page has over 160,000 followers. You may have seen a few of her more
viral posts like "What NOT to F'ing buy my kids this holiday" and "Caillou sucks so bad, here's
another blog about why I hate him." She spent fifteen years working for national advertising
agencies until she was promoted to her newest favorite job-- Mommy. She lives with her two
amazing kiddos and a very forgiving husband who is kind enough not to call her Cousin It when she
undresses for bed every night.
Allison Amend, OTHER ISLANDS
Nan A. Talese/Doubleday; Upcoming 2016 (MS available Sept 2015)
Translation/UK/Film/TV: C&S
Inspired by minor historical figures Frances and Ainslie Conway, who Amend supposes spied for
the U.S. during the several years they were on the Galapagos Islands surrounding the Second World
War, Other Islands is the story of a woman whose path ventures far from her native Minnesota,
whose journey is emblematic of the whole of the women’s suffrage movement, and who plays a
major, if unrecorded, role in the turning point of the war. Like Middlesex and The Amazing
Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, a modern epic that examines how those whom history has neglected
to record have been shaped by, and in turn helped form, modern America.
ALLISON AMEND is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, author of the novel A Nearly Perfect
Copy (Nan A. Talese); the Independent Publishers Award-winning short story collection Things That
Pass for Love; and the novel Stations West, which was a finalist for the 2011 Sami Rohr Prize for
Jewish Literature and the Oklahoma Book Award. Fluent in French, Italian, and Spanish, she teaches
creative writing at Lehman College.
Praise for A Nearly Perfect Copy:

Caroline Bock, BEFORE MY EYES
St. Martin's Press; February 11, 2014
Translation/UK/Film/TV: C&S
“Bock has crafted a suspenseful and intense novel that is sure to keep readers turning the pages.”
—School Library Journal
“[a] gripping novel.”—Publishers Weekly
“[an] unflinching thriller.”—Bookpage
An intimate and intense YA novel about the dark heart of middle class adolescence, Before My Eyes
intertwines the lives of three troubled young people: dreamy, poetic Claire, 17, who has spent the
last few months taking care of her six-year-old sister in the wake of their mother’s stroke;
awkward, distracted Max, also 17, the son of a self-absorbed state senator; and lonely and obsessive
Barkley, 21, who works alongside Max and befriends Claire online under the name “Brent.” No one
realizes that Barkley is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia—until the voice in Barkley’s head
orders him to take out his gun. Authentic, immediate, and powerful, Before My Eyes captures a
moment when possibilities should be opening up—and instead, everything is almost destroyed.
Caroline Bock is a graduate of Syracuse University, where she studied creative writing with
Raymond Carver, and the City College of New York, where she earned an MFA in fiction. Her first
novel for young adults was the critically acclaimed LIE (St. Martin’s).

drama in Cedarville, Iowa.
NICK BURD received his MFA from the New School. His debut novel The Vast Fields of Ordinary was

Association's inaugural Stonewall Book Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature.

LGBTQ novels, it can stand alongside Peter Cameron's and Brian Sloan's." - Kirkus, starred review
“Nick Burd's The Vast Fields of Ordinary is bold. Engaging. Heartbreaking. A book worthy of
attention.” - Ellen Hopkins, New York Times bestselling author of Crank

From best-selling author Ben Coes comes the fifth book in Dewey Andreas thriller series!
Ben Coes, EYE FOR AN EYE
St. Martin’s Press; July 9, 2013
Translation/UK: C&S
Rights sold: UK/Pan Macmillan
New York Times bestseller
Following POWER DOWN, COUP D’ETAT, and THE LAST REFUGE, the one and only Dewey Andreas
is back in the fourth thriller of the series!
“Ben Coes has created a hero who ranks with the protagonists in a Vince Flynn or Brad Thor
thriller.”-The Associated Press on Dewey Andreas
“Coes delivers his best effort to date in this thriller starring Dewey Andreas, a maverick agent
whom the alphabet agencies rely on to get the tough jobs done. Highly recommended for fans of
full-throttle action and writing that fits its subject perfectly. The ending clearly paves the way for
another Andreas novel, and it can’t come fast enough.” - Jeff Ayers, Booklist
“At a time when America's exceptionalism is hotly contested, this is a fine example of an exceptional
American hero story.” – Kirkus
“…novels featuring Dewey Andreas are best counted among life’s guilty pleasures.” – Library Journal
“Coes is a master at creating extended scenes of intense mayhem, and Dewey is a hero who will
have patriotic readers standing in their seats cheering.” – Publishers Weekly
When Dewey Andreas uncovers the identity of a mole embedded at a high level in Israel’s Mossad, it
triggers a larger, more dangerous plot. The mole was the most important asset of Chinese
Intelligence, and Fao Bhang, head of China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), responds to the
discovery and brutal elimination of the mole, by immediately placing a kill order on the man
responsible—Dewey Andreas.
Dewey is tracked to Argentina, where he is on vacation with his fiancée, Jessica Tanzer, a U.S.
National Security Advisor. A top-level kill team is sent in quickly and quietly, but their attack fails to
take out Dewey. The collateral damage, however, is both horrifying and deeply personal. With
nothing left to lose, Andreas is determined to have his revenge. Once he learns who is probably
behind the attack—and why they are after him—Dewey goes rogue, using all of his assets and skills
to launch a counterattack. Andreas must now face the full weight and might of the MSS, Chinese
Intelligence, and the formidable Fao Bhang, if he’s to achieve his one last goal: revenge on a biblical
scale, no matter the odds or the armies that he will have to fight his way through. Andreas—former
Army Ranger and Delta—is a man of great skills and cunning. His opponent, Fao Bhang, is ruthless,
determined, and with no limit to the assets at his disposal. In this conflict, there are only two
possible outcomes. And only one Dewey Andreas.

Kristin Waterfield Duisberg, AFTER
Engine Books; February 18, 2014
Translation/UK/Film/TV: C&S
“In her sophomore novel, Duisberg again proves herself to be a keen and perceptive observer of
human frailty, capable of handling thorny emotional topics with a deft and incisive touch.”
—Booklist
“It’s rare I love a novel as much as After. Duisberg charts her characters’ emotional landscapes so
intimately that you’re still living in them long after this exquisitely written, extraordinarily moving
book is closed.” —Jenna Blum, bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Stormchasers
A heart-wrenching novel about a marriage tested by illness and long-buried secrets, the fear of
abandoning those we love, and the bond between mother and child.
Nina Baldwin, dutiful wife and devoted mother, discovers a lump in her breast. Her fears soon
confirmed by a team of cancer specialists, Nina turns to her husband, Martin, for support. But
Martin—a cardiologist with a staunch clinical demeanor—is incapable of connecting with Nina
emotionally, instead focusing on facts, statistics, and probable outcomes. Having grown up in Berlin
during WWII as the child of Nazi-enablers, Martin feels tremendous guilt over his father’s actions
and unresolved resentment towards his mother, who ultimately saved him by sending him away.
The more Martin retreats into himself and keeps secrets from Nina, the more she feels the need to
create secrets of her own. Driven by a complex mix of emotions—including resentment over
Martin’s absence and the pulsing fear that her cancer, now in remission, will someday return—Nina
reaches for a previously unimaginable escape, one that threatens the sanctity of her marriage and
family.

Elizabeth Isadora Gold, THE MOMMY GROUP: Freaking Out, F**king Up, and the First Two
Years
Atria; February 2016 (MS available February 2015; Proposal available)
Translation/UK/Film/TV: C&S
A blend of memoir, research, and reporting, THE MOMMY GROUP tells a personal group story of
new motherhood, with instruction and insight a la Bringing Up Bébé and Operating Instructions.
Not usually a joiner, Elizabeth knew that she needed the support of other mothers-to-be if she was
going to move on from two miscarriages and embrace the new life growing inside her. Answering
an ad for an expectant mothers group, she became one of the seven Monday Moms, who were all in
their mid to late thirties with established professional lives and marriages. Bring together any
6
group of seven expectant mothers in modern America, and they are bound to have some variation
of the Monday Moms’ particular problems and needs.
With each chapter focusing on different themes as we move chronologically through the babies’
first two years, THE MOMMY GROUP will cover specific issues all new mothers face in one form or
another and reflect a variety of experiences on topics such as: breastfeeding, sleep methodology,
developmental milestones and delays, other mother envy, making work work, time management,
postpartum mood disorders, sex and marriage during the transition from partners to parents,
childcare, weaning, tantrums, whether to have a second child, and the reintegration that begins to
happen after the first year and continues to develop throughout the child’s second year.
ELIZABETH ISADORA GOLD’s writing about motherhood, books, music, and feminism has appeared
in The New York Times, The Believer, Tin House, The Rumpus, Time Out New York, and other
publications. In Spring 2012, Gold’s piece about her postpartum anxiety, “Meltdown in Motherland,”
in The New York Times’ Opinionator’s popular Anxiety series. She lives in Brooklyn with her
husband and young daughter.
Linda Hervieux, FORGOTTEN: The Untold Story of the Only African-American Combat Unit at
D-Day
Harper; August 2015 (MS available October 2014; proposal available)
Translation/UK/Film/TV: C&S
A compelling true account of war, race, class, courage, and valor. The 320th Anti-Aircraft Barrage
Balloon Battalion was an African-American combat unit that played a key role in the D-Day
landings—flying an aerial curtain of enormous silver blimps over Omaha and Utah beaches to
protect fellow soldiers from low-flying German planes. Forgotten revives the story of the men of the
320th—their origins, personal histories, and paths into an army divided by race. Focusing on four
soldiers, Forgotten traces their stories from barrage balloon training school to a terrifying voyage
across the ocean aboard the British Ocean liner Aquitania (once described as the “Rolls Royce of the
sea”), to the surprisingly warm welcome from the British, to their heroic D-Day landing and the
inspiring lofting of the balloons above the beaches of Normandy. Subject to terrible racism at home
and in the military, and denied their rightful military honors to this day, the 320th finds their proper
place in history with Forgotten.
For readers of history, World War II buffs, and anyone who loves narrative nonfiction, Forgotten is
a must-read, sure to take its place alongside such popular and classic works like Stephen Ambrose’s
Band of Brothers, Antony Beevor’s D-Day, and Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken.
LINDA HERVIEUX has worked on staff as a reporter and editor at several newspapers, including the
New York Daily News. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, International Herald Tribune,

Jessica Hollander, IN THESE TIMES THE HOME IS A TIRED PLACE
University of North Texas Press; October 10, 2013
**Winner of the Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction**
“Hollander’s debut collection effectively fuses the common (childhood adventures, unhappy adults)
with the bizarre (a grandmother obsessed with buttons, a gym full of people refusing to wear
7
clothes) to create an intriguing volume. . . . The details in these stories ring true and are
recognizable amid the insanity. A potent work from a strong new literary voice.”
–Publishers Weekly, starred review
“These are human tales of vigorously individual characters living with intensity. Each piece is
powered by a deep, slow boiling jubilation in the moment-to-moment, line-by-line fact of taking
breath.” - Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love and judge
When an unwed pregnant woman is pressured to get married by her boyfriend, parents, and the
entire culture around her, she sees a feverish intensity emanating from the path to domesticity, a
“paved path shaded by thick-trunked trees, lined with trim grass and manicured mansions, where
miniature houses play mailboxes and animals play lawn ornaments and people play happiness.”
Jessica Hollander’s debut collection exposes a culture that glorifies and disparages traditional
domesticity, where people’s confusion, apathy, and anxiety about the institutions of marriage and
family often drive them to self-destruction. As characters become girlfriends, wives, husbands, and
mothers, they struggle within their roles, either fighting to escape them or struggling to “play” them
correctly, but always concerned with the loss of individuality, of being swallowed up by society’s
expectations and becoming “a mother” or “a wife” instead of remaining themselves.
JESSICA HOLLANDER grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and received her BA from the University of
Michigan. She holds an MFA from the University of Alabama. Her stories have appeared in over fifty
journals, including The Cincinnati Review, The Journal, Quarterly West, and Web Conjunctions, and
she will be anthologized in The Lineup: 25 Provocative Women Writers. She teaches at the University
of Alabama.

As a writer and performer, Samantha Irby is a force of nature. As the genius behind the hilarious
blog BITCHES GOTTA EAT, she’s your sharp-tongued best friend who can’t help but tell it like it is.
In her debut essay collection MEATY, Irby explodes onto the page with essays about laughing her
way through her ridiculous life of failed relationships, taco feasts, bouts with Crohn’s Disease, and
more. Written with the same scathing wit and poignant bluntness long-time readers have come to
expect, MEATY takes on subjects both highbrow and low—from why she can’t be mad at Lena
Dunham, to the anguish of growing up with a sick mother, to how to prepare your disgusting meat
carcass for some new, hot sex, to why she wants to write your mom’s Match.com profile. Readers,
both new and old, who join Irby on this wild ride are in for a rare treat.
“Irby’s writing has a powerfully intimacy, a direct connection between her and her readers. On the
page, she’s more an essayist than a storyteller per se, with the essayist’s intellectual habits—
exploring ideas, contradicting herself, poking thoughts to see if they burst, and then reveling in the
mess.” - Chicago Reader

“Her candor in style and subject matter—mostly sex, dating, and the general lousiness of men—has
earned Samantha Irby a cult following. . . . Honesty mixed with self-deprecating humor is what
propels readers.”—Timeout Chicago
“Raunchy, funny and vivid…Those faint of heart beware...strap in and get ready for a roller-coaster
ride to remember.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Amazingly crass, defiant, witty, terrifying, and wondrous...[Irby] cuts the bawdy, wickedly funny
pieces with some truly poignant palate cleansers...Irby’s voice is raw, gripping, and ...Delicious.” –

Lori Ostlund, AFTER THE PARADE
Scribner; February 2016 (MS available, Edited MS available in September 2014)
Translation/UK: C&S
Lori Ostlund’s much anticipated, brilliantly woven debut novel follows Aaron Englund as he leaves
his longtime partner and moves to San Francisco, launching him on a tragicomic quest across
several states and deep into the mysteries of his own Midwestern childhood.
When Aaron is five years old, his father falls to his death from a parade float and his mother suffers
a nervous breakdown. Seeking a fresh start, Aaron’s mother moves the two of them from Moorhead,
Minnesota to the tiny nearby town of Morton, where they run The Trout Café. As his mother’s
unhappiness deepens, Aaron finds companionship in books and eccentric people—like Clarence, an
intellectual, sarcastic dwarf with tusks; and Bernice, a bitter, morbidly obese woman in her
twenties who bakes for the café. After Aaron’s mother abandons him when he’s seventeen, he stays
with Bernice’s family until he graduates and moves back to Moorhead with Walter—an avuncular
language professor fifteen years Aaron’s senior whose Pygmalion-like guidance sets the tone for
their eventual romance. Twenty years later, Aaron leaves the home he shares with Walter in
Albuquerque for a teaching position at a decrepit ESL school in San Francisco. Alone for the first
time, he can’t help but reflect on what came before Walter: his father’s cruelty—which marked the
first five years of his life—and his mother’s disappearance. When a private detective offers the key
to closure, Aaron finally examines his feelings about his mother, and in the process, recalls the
devastating event that occurred on the eve of his father’s death.
Like John Irving’s finest tragicomic novels, AFTER THE PARADE defies tidy synopsis, the main
narrative unfolding nonlinearly, anchoring a rich tapestry of stories within stories and encounters
with colorfully drawn characters. It’s through such strange encounters that we recognize how the
familiar, in relation to other people as well as where we are in the world literally and figuratively,
can be simultaneously claustrophobic and inescapable.
LORI OSTLUND’s collection of stories, The Bigness of the World, received the Flannery O’Connor
Award for Short Fiction, the California Book Award’s Gold Medal for First Fiction, and the Edmund
White Debut Fiction Award. In addition, the collection was a Lambda Award finalist, shortlisted for
the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, and named a Notable Book by The Story Prize.
Stories from the collection have appeared in The Best American Short Stories 2010 (edited by
Richard Russo), The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2011, The Kenyon Review, The Georgia Review, and
New England Review, among other publications. Ostlund is the recipient of a 2009 Rona Jaffe
Foundation Writers’ Award and is the only fiction writer to have been a two-time Kenan Visiting
Writer at UNC-Chapel Hill. She lives in San Francisco with her partner of twenty years. Please visit

Praise for The Bigness of the World:
“For Lori Ostlund and her characters, language matters. Ostlund graces her creations with language
that is precise, and suffused with a sly humor.” —Sylvia Brownrigg, San Francisco Chronicle
“Ostlund’s remarkable debut collection deftly navigates the treacherous shoals of decaying
relationships in which the protagonists often escape to faraway lands in order to find themselves,
or, at the very least, their partners. . . . Each piece is sublime.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)

Elena Passarello, LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT
Sarabande Books; October 9, 2012
Translation/UK/Film/TV/Audio: C&S
“In a brilliant combination of rigorous study and conversational tone, Passarello has created a
remarkably entertaining and thought-provoking look at the human voice and all of its myriad
functions and sounds.... A wonderful collection for any reader. Highly recommended.”
- Library Journal, starred review
“The beauty of Elena Passarello’s voice is that it’s so confidently its own. I began randomly with her
essay wondering what the space aliens will make of 'Johnny B. Goode' on the Voyager gold record,
and couldn't stop after that.” - John Jeremiah Sullivan
From Farinelli, the eighteenth century castrato who brought down opera houses with his high C, to
the recording of "Johnny B. Goode" affixed to the Voyager spacecraft, Let Me Clear My
Throat dissects the whys and hows of popular voices, making them hum with significance and
emotion. There are murders of punk rock crows, impressionists, and rebel yells; Howard Dean's
"BYAH!" and Marlon Brando's "Stella!" and a stock film yawp that has made cameos in movies
from A Star is Born to Spaceballs. The voice is thought's incarnating instrument and Elena
Passarello's essays are a riotous deconstruction of the ways the sounds we make both express and
shape who we are—the annotated soundtrack of us giving voice to ourselves.
ELENA PASSARELLO studied nonfiction writing at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of
Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and her essays have appeared in Creative Nonfiction, Gulf Coast, Slate,
Iowa Review, and The Normal School, among others.
Alex Taylor, THE MARBLE ORCHARD
Ig Publishing; January 2015
Translation/UK/Film/TV: C&S
Beam, the black sheep of the large and entrenched Sheetmire clan, finds himself on the run after a
botched robbery turns into manslaughter. After fleeing to Clem, the father he had hoped to impress,
Beam discovers that the man he has killed is the son of Loat, a former associate of Clem's and a
cold-blooded killer. Urged by Clem to run, Beam heads out of town. Meanwhile, the sheriff, Elvis,
attempts to investigate the incident. However, he finds himself stymied at every turn by the tightlipped community governed by a law outside the bounds of the sheriff. With Loat hot on his trail
and Elvis not far behind, Beam leads a nomadic existence, slipping from place to place, each
stranger than the last. The people he meets along the way—a trucker dressed in a suit, a cemeterydwelling Good Samaritan, an armless brothel owner who hates Clem with a passion—hold the keys
to Beam’s past and possible salvation.
An engrossing tragicomic thriller, The Marble Orchard evokes the sinister events of Cormac
McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men and the terrifyingly inescapable community of Daniel Woodrell’s
Winter’s Bone. The characters within The Marble Orchard struggle to make sense of an often
inexplicable and messy world with the few tools at their disposal; even the police are helpless in the
face of a code of conduct governed by ruthless and merciless punishment. Helplessly caged by the
community he cannot shed, Beam’s story evokes the powerlessness within all of us to escape the
bonds of family and heritage.

Praise for The Name of the Nearest River:
“Small-town life has rarely been written about with as much empathy as Taylor has for the
characters and their plights in each of these stories. Such attention toward characters’ feelings
gives The Name of the Nearest River an authenticity that sets it apart from other contemporary
fiction of the Southern persuasion, and shows Alex Taylor to be a distinctive new voice in American
fiction. Whether or not you’ve ever set foot in Kentucky, reading these stories feels like returning to
a familiar place."—Kenny Squires, The Rumpus

Winner of the 2012 South Carolina First Novel Prize
“Tekulve’s descriptions of the hard, cold, dirty coal camp life, above and below ground, are
masterful … [Her] great gift is to live in the hearts of her characters … Lyrical, haunting literary
fiction.” - Kirkus, starred review
“Beautifully written and absorbing …very much a story about place and how it affects the human
character.” - Library Journal
After a passing train derails and spills an avalanche of coal young Emma Palmisano’s house, Emma
awakes in darkness to the voice of railroad man Caleb Sypher digging her out. Though she knows
little else about him, Emma marries Caleb, and he delivers her from the gritty coal camp to thirtyfour acres of Virginia mountain farmland. The year is 1924, and the remote mines of Appalachia
have filled with poor, immigrant laborers building new lives half a world away from Sicily. Emma
gives birth to a son, Dean, but the family’s life is shattered by a hobo’s bullet; the boy grows up fast,
cultivating fierce and unpredictable loyalties. Dean’s daughter, Hannah, wanders far from home, in
the end reconnecting with the Sypher family in the wildest place of all, the human heart. A
harrowing multi-generational tale about the nature of power and pride, love and loss, and how one
impoverished family endures estrangement from their land and each other in order to unearth the
rich seams of forgiveness and redemption.
SUSAN TEKULVE’s nonfiction, short stories and essays have appeared in journals such as Denver

Diana Wagman, LIFE #6
Ig Publishing; January 2016
Translation/UK/Film/TV/Audio: C&S
12
A compelling, suspenseful novel of an inauspicious voyage at sea and a young woman’s fight for her
life. Nineteen-year-old Dee and her boyfriend Luc are struggling modern dancers living in New
York, moonlighting as cater-waiters. To impress the beautiful, talented and exuberant Luc, Dee
agrees to join him in a motley crew hired to sail the virgin voyage of a small sailboat headed to
Bermuda. Despite the loud caution of the local townspeople and fishermen who herald an oncoming
storm, Dee and Luc put their faith in the boat’s owner, a world-renowned brain surgeon. After days
of preparation, they finally embark, but it does not take long for the ill-equipped boat to cease
functioning in the face of incessant rain and fifty-foot waves. Together with the rest of the crew, Dee
fights to survive against hopeless odds and the increasingly malevolent boat owner who seems to
have a death wish for all of them.
An adventurous, emotionally complex tale inspired by Wagman’s own harrowing experience being
lost at sea, LIFE #6 explores the folly of youth, what happens to us when we’re pushed to the brink,
the regrets of love lost and what it really means to love, and the many ways we die and are renewed
throughout our lives.
Praise for The Care and Feeding of Exotic Pets:
“[T]he story is perfectly paced, with humorous breaks in the tension…Wagman has crafted an
unusual thriller for psychological crime devotees and fans of the peculiar.” - Publishers Weekly
“Most literary abduction novels are about stolen children—Ms. Wagman offers a smart, affecting
reversal.” - Wall Street Journal

Trevor Aaronson, THE TERROR FACTORY: Inside the FBI’s Manufactured War on Terrorism
Ig Publishing; January 15, 2013
***DOCUMENTARY FORTHCOMING ON AL-JAZEERA AMERICA***
2012 MOLLY Prize and Finalist for original article
2011 Livingston Awards for Young Journalists for original article
"Compelling, shocking, and gritty with intrigue." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A real eye-opener that questions how well the country's security is being protected." - Kirkus
A groundbreaking work of investigative journalism, The Terror Factory shows how the FBI has,
under the guise of engaging in counterterrorism since 9/11, built a network of more than fifteen
thousand informants whose primary purpose is to infiltrate Muslim communities to create and
facilitate phony terrorist plots. Originally an award-winning cover story in Mother Jones
magazine—The Terror Factory reveals shocking information about the criminals, con men, and
liars the FBI uses as paid informants, as well as documenting the extreme methods used to ensnare
Muslims in terrorist plots and how so-called terrorism consultants and experts have made fortunes
by exaggerating the threat of Islamic terrorism in the United States.
TREVOR AARONSON is associate director and co-founder of the Florida Center for Investigative
Reporting. He was an investigative reporting fellow at UC Berkeley, where his reporting resulted in
a Mother Jones cover story that won the John Jay College/Harry Frank Guggenheim 2012 Excellence
in Criminal Justice Reporting Award.

Eugenides and Richard Russo with themes of loss, desperation, and reconnection, [the novel] is
sharp, elegant, and poignant." – Booklist
“Ryan Bartelmay achieves something like intimate sweep in this funny, soulful novel about love,
time, and hope." - Sam Lipsyte
“What a kind, warm hearted and generous novel! [A] splendid evocation of America’s heartland and
the sometimes confused, lost, desperately seeking and often comic souls that populate it.”

hiding a devastating secret of her own. Coming headlong out of Las Vegas in the 1990s and bound
for Peoria, Illinois, are Green Geneseo, a retired, widowed bank teller, and Mary Norwood, an aging
pool hustler, looking for one last swing at the American Dream. The couple sideswipes the life of the

Kirby Gann, GHOSTING
Ig Publishing; April 17, 2012
Rights sold: France/Editions du Seuil
“Gann’s newest novel is a tightly written Appalachian gothic told from multiple perspectives. [T]he
characters are fully realized—rooted in the land and veined with bad blood—and their motivations
are complex and believable. Violent, bloody, and darkly beautiful, this is a fascinating novel
depicting the seedy bottom of an America in decline.” - Publishers Weekly, starred
“Unfolding with unflinching clarity and moral inevitability, this is a tale of love and loyalty, family
and duty, naïveté and duplicity, played out on an amoral landscape of drugs and violence. Hillbilly
noir as literary fiction of the first order.” - Kirkus
“Writing in brilliantly sustained licks of prose, Gann gives us flesh-and-blood human beings who
cannot escape what they cannot help wanting. Their fate is true, the ride beautiful and dark.” - John
Burnham Schwartz
Fleece Skaggs has disappeared, along with drug dealer Lawrence Gruel's reefer harvest. Taking his
older brother’s place as a drug runner for Gruel, James Cole plunges into a dark underworld of
drugs, violence, and long hidden family secrets, where discovering what happened to his brother
could cost him his life. A literary mystery, Ghosting is both a simple quest for the truth and a
complex consideration of human frailty.
KIRBY GANN is the author of the novels The Barbarian Parade and Our Napoleon in Rags and

Steve Himmer, FRAM
Ig Publishing; January, 2015 (MS available)
Fram is the story of Oscar, a minor bureaucrat in the US government's Bureau of Ice
Prognostication, an agency created to compete with the Soviets during the heyday of the Cold War
and still operating in the present without the public's knowledge. Oscar and his partner Alexi are
tasked with inventing discoveries and settlements in the Arctic, then creating the paperwork and
digital records to “prove” their existence, preventing the inconvenience and expense of actual
exploration. The job is the closest Oscar has come to his boyhood dream of being a polar explorer,
until he and Alexi are sent on a secret mission to the actual Arctic, which brings them into a
mysterious tangle of rival agencies and espionage that grows more dangerous the farther north
they travel. The trip also allows Oscar to reconnect with his wife, Julia, from whom he's grown
alienated by years of lying about what he does for a living (a distance compounded by Julia's own
secret government job), leading both of them to discover what can be lost if we let one part of
ourselves—or one part of a story—distract us from everything else the world offers.
STEVE HIMMER is the author of the novel The Bee-Loud Glade (2011) and editor of the
webjournalNecessary Fiction. His stories, essays, and reviews have appeared in publications

Jessica Stilling, BETWIXT AND BETWEEN
Ig Publishing; November 10, 2013
“In an impressive debut, Stilling deconstructs the body of lore surrounding Peter Pan, reimagining
Neverland as an in-between place where boys who die too soon. Stilling’s take on this familiar tale
is provocative and poignant, rich with emotion and powerfully described, laced with profound
contemplations about dying too soon and growing up too quickly.” - Publishers Weekly
Peter Pan meets The Lovely Bones in this beautifully rendered and emotionally devastating debut
novel that explores where children go when they die.
Betwixt and Between follows three intertwining narratives: that of Preston Tumbler, a ten year old
boy who is poisoned by a neighbor and wakes up in Neverland, where he finds himself—along with
a group of other deceased children—under the watchful eye of Peter Pan; Preston’s mother Claire
in the real world as she deals with the loss of her son; and a family in Victorian London as they wait
for their little girl to awake from a coma, a family whose neighbor happens to be Peter Pan author
JM Barrie.
JESSICA STILLING has an MFA from City College, where she currently teaches creative writing. She

Alison Hawthorne Deming, ZOOLOGIES: On Animals and the Human Spirit
Milkweed Editions; June 2014 (galley available)
In this collection of unprecedented and deeply affecting linked essays moving from mammoth hunts
to house cats, and touching on cheetahs, crows, whales, and countless other beings between, Alison
Hawthorne Deming explores profound questions about what it means to be animal. What is
inherent in animals that leads us to destroy, and what that leads us toward peace? As human
animals, how does art both define us as a species and how does it emerge primarily from our
relationship with other species? And how does grief, and the acknowledgment of loss, relate to
what action we take next, to the saving or memorializing of the world? The reader emerges with a
transformed sense of how the living world around them has and continues to define them in a
powerful way.
Alison’s work goes beyond the consideration of humans as individuals or animals as individual
subjects and considers, instead, our animal communality—how our non-human relationships affect
our sensibilities.
ALISON HAWTHORNE DEMING is the author of three collections of poetry and three nonfiction
books. Science and Other Poems, her first book, was selected by Gerald Stern for the Walt Whitman
Award of the Academy of American Poets, and her nonfiction collection, The Edges of the Civilized
World, was a finalist for the PEN Center West Award. She is former Stegner Fellow and has received
numerous NEA fellowships. Deming is a Professor in Creative Writing at the University of Arizona
and also serves as Chairperson of the Board of Directors for Orion magazine.

Amazon.CA Best Book of 2012 pick
“The sheer variety of Dobozy’s approaches to telling stories, and his commitment not only to
provoke thought but to entertain, constitute a virtuoso performance. [W]ithout question one of my
favorite story collections ever.” - Jeff VanderMeer, Washington Post
In December of 1944, the Red Army entered Budapest to begin one of the bloodiest sieges of the
Second World War. By February, the siege was over, but its effects were to be felt for decades
afterward. SIEGE 13 is a collection of thirteen linked stories about this terrible time in history, both
its historical moment, but also later, as a legacy of silence, haunting, and trauma that shadows the
survivors. Set in both Budapest before and after the siege, and in the present day—in Canada, the
U.S., and parts of Europe—SIEGE 13 traces the ripple effect of this time on characters directly
involved, and on their friends, associates, sons, daughters, grandchildren, and adoptive countries.
Written by one of this country's best and most internationally recognized short story authors—the
19
story "The Restoration of the Villa Where Tíbor Kálmán Once Lived" won the 2011 O. Henry Prize
for short fiction—SIEGE 13 is an intelligent, emotional, and absorbing cycle of stories about war,
family, loyalty, love and redemption.
TAMAS DOBOZY is the author of Last Notes and When X Equals Marylou. His works have also been
anthologized in The Best American Nonrequired Reading, and he was awarded an O. Henry Prize.
Dobozy was a Fulbright Scholar in Creative Writing at New York University, and now teaches at

Murray Farish, INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
Milkweed Editions; March 18, 2014
**An April 2014 Indie Next Pick**
“[T]he best first collection I have read in years: darkly funny, thoughtful, heartwrenching,
altogether brilliant. Conspirators, assassins, modern love, modern parenthood: this is terrific,
strange book.”—Elizabeth McCracken
“Inappropriate Behavior is a collection of lovely surprises: the tartly fresh, felicitous phrase,
followed by the astonishing plot turn, and then by the lightning-streaked illumination of
character.”—Ken Kalfus, author of Equilateral
“Inappropriate Behavior . . . is the kind of book you’ll want to talk about. You’ll want to talk about
the characters—some of them expected (unhappy spouses, struggling parents and difficult
children) and some unexpected (assassins, would-be assassins and assassination buffs). You’ll want
to talk about the violence, despair, dark humor and lurid amusements. And you’ll want to sort out
what these stories say about our times.” ––Nick Healy, Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN)
“Edgy writing in an unnerving collection of short fiction. Violence haunts these pages, and insanity
is the ghost in the machine. The titular story is almost a tour de force on the state of young
American families [ . . . ].” ––Kirkus Reviews
“Farish is at his best—and in the case of the ‘The Passage,’ he’s masterful—in the stories in which
the cracks are just beginning to form in the facade of normal life.”
––Publishers Weekly
MURRAY FARISH lives with his wife and two sons in St. Louis, Missouri, where he teaches writing
and literature at Webster University.
Michael Garriga, THE BOOK OF DUELS
Milkweed Editions; March 18, 2014
**An April 2014 Indie Next Pick**
“The contesting spirit of ‘one last chance at revenge’ sets the stage for this riveting flash fiction
collection composed of tripartite narratives of battles both historical and imagined.”
–Publishers Weekly
20
“Lovers of language at its thrumming, pulse-driven peak, fiends for characters staggeringly alive,
twitching addicts of images grotesque and glorious, Michael Garriga is your man. With his Duels,
Garriga defies classification, transcends form, and gives us neither prose, poems, or prose-poems,
but a work of unassailable linguistic art.”—Kent Wascom, author of The Blood of Heaven
In this compact collection debut collection depicting historical and imagined “duels,” “settling the
score” provides a fascinating apparatus for exploring foundational civilizing ideas. Notions of
courage, cowardice, and revenge course through Michael Garriga’s flash-fiction pieces, each one of
which captures a duel’s decisive moment from three distinct perspectives: opposing accounts from
the individual duelists, followed by the third account of a witness. Meticulously crafted by Garriga,
and with stunning illustrations by Tynan Kerr, The Book of Duels is a fierce, searing debut.
MICHAEL GARRIGA holds a PhD from Florida State University’s creative writing program. His short
fiction has appeared in New Letters, Black Warrior Review and elsewhere. Garriga lives with his
family in Ohio, where he teaches creative writing in the English department at Baldwin-Wallace
College.
Robin Wall Kimmerer, BRAIDING SWEETGRASS: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge,
and the Teachings of Plants
Milkweed Editions; October 15, 2013
“Kimmerer has written an extraordinary book. She is a wonderful storyteller, but it is the way she
captures beauty that I love the most. [T]he images of giant cedars and wild strawberries will stay
with you long after you read the last page.” - Jane Goodall
“Kimmerer writes about the natural world from a place of such abundant passion that her love fills
the reader’s soul. In Braiding Sweetgrass, she takes us on a journey that is every bit as mystical as it
is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise.” - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat,
Pray, Love
“With deep compassion and graceful prose, Kimmerer encourages readers to consider the ways
that our lives and language weave through the natural world. A mesmerizing storyteller, she shares
legends from her Potawatomi ancestors to illustrate the culture of gratitude in which we all should
live. She reminds readers that we are showered every day with gifts, but … [o]ur work and our joy
is to pass along the gift and to trust that what we put into the universe will always come back.”
– Publishers Weekly
Combining science, Native American teachings, and memoir, Kimmerer takes readers through
ancient forests and backyard ponds, sacred sites and urban wastelands. As a leading researcher in
biology, Kimmerer understands the delicate state of our world. As a member of the Potawatomi
nation, she senses and relates to the world through ancient wisdom. Intertwining the analytic and
the emotional, the scientific and the cultural, she brings readers back into conversation with all that
is green and growing.
ROBIN WALL KIMMERER’s first book, Gathering Moss was awarded the 2005 John Burroughs Medal
for outstanding nature writing.
Rafael de Grenade, STILWATER: Finding Wild Mercy in the Outback
Milkweed Editions; May 2014
21
“A vivid, sweeping chronicle of the Australian Outback.”—Kirkus Reviews
In northwestern Australia, ranches spread across hundreds of thousands of acres and contain
hundreds of thousands of cattle—as well as the most poisonous snakes in the world, a frightening
number of crocodiles, and countless other equally dangerous and strange animals—and feature a
society of ringers, wranglers, and outlaws unique to the edge of wildness. To muster these remote
swaths of land the workers use motorcycles, modified jeeps, helicopters, and horses to move oceans
of cows across hundreds of miles of intensely dangerous territory. Rafael de Grenade, for a number
of strange reasons, was dropped into this world at 24 as a ringer on a station crew.
In Stilwater, de Grenade attempts to make sense of a world where human order and animal
wildness are constantly at war, with wildness always seeming to win. In beautiful and gritty prose,
de Grenade explores the place and how it transforms her young urge to delve deeper and deeper
into the wild.
RAFAEL DE GRENADE grew up on a farm in the foothills of the Santa Maria Mountains outside of
Prescott, Arizona. Her childhood involved helping to grow food for the family, working with
livestock, building in stone and adobe, and exploring and learning from the land. She dropped out of
school and began working for the rugged Cross U Ranch in north central Arizona at age thirteen,
riding, branding, shoeing horses, and gathering cows. She earned a MFA in Creative Nonfiction from
the University of Arizona.
Joni Tevis, Odes and Apocalypse: Essays
Milkweed; April, 2015 (MS available)
“If a museum preserves things in part, Tevis reimagines them whole . . . Sheer entertainment in the
richest sense of the word.” –ORION
Stemming from the apocalyptic sermons Joni Tevis heard while growing up in the South, this
extraordinary collection of essays traces the fear of absolute destruction that has haunted her life.
Reflections on the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly lead to the story of the Doom Town where
the American government tested the effects of nuclear weapons on suburban towns. A journey to
the wilds of northern Alaska is overlaid with the story of the birth of the author’s first child. And the
fraught story of Liberace’s last days is interspersed with the drunken late-night piano playing of a
friend at a party. Throughout, Tevis brings a new sense of dread and wonder to the monotonous
details of daily life. Odes and Apocalypse is laid out like the maps haunted heiress Sarah Winchester
left behind to help future generations traverse her never ending mansion, guiding the reader
through a subtle arc from dread to acceptance of the natural cycles of death and destruction that
rule our lives, even when we resist them. This is, ultimately, a book about faith, examining what it is
that can hold us steady in the face of inevitable death and destruction.
JONI TEVIS is the author of the acclaimed collection The Wet Collection. Her work has been
published in Oxford American, Bellingham Review, Shenandoah, Isotope, the Southeast Review, Gulf
Coast, and High Plains Literary Review. She currently teaches literature and creative writing at
Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina.
Praise for The Wet Collection:
“Tevis turns the concept of ‘nature writing’ on its ear, bringing to her studies of the objects and
scenes in her wunderkammer a fresh and surprising eye.” —Mark Doty

British/Translation/Audio/First serial: Norton
Rights sold: China (complex)/Wealth Press; China (simplified)/Beijing Cultural;
Poland/Jagiellonian
“With a practice located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Stanford University psychiatrist
Aboujaoude credibly and rigorously explains how the way an individual functions in cyberspace
impacts his or her behavior in the real world. Instantly engaging and eminently accessible,
Aboujaoude offers an enlightening and cautionary exploration of an increasingly intrusive aspect of
modern society.” – Carol Haggas, Booklist
A penetrating examination of the insidious effects of the Internet on our personalities—online and
off. Whether sharing photos or following financial markets, many of us spend a shocking amount of
time online. While the Internet can enhance well-being, Elias Aboujaoude has spent years treating
patients whose lives have been profoundly disturbed by it. Part of the danger lies in how the
Internet allows us to act with exaggerated confidence, sexiness, and charisma. This new self, which
Aboujaoude dubs our "e-personality," manifests itself in every curt email we send, Facebook
"friend" we make, and "buy now" button we click. Too potent to be confined online, however, epersonality traits seep offline, too, making us impatient, unfocused, and urge-driven even after we
log off. Virtually You uses examples from Aboujaoude's personal and professional experience to
highlight this new phenomenon. The first scrutiny of the virtual world's transformative power on
our psychology, Virtually You shows us how real life is being reconfigured in the image of a chat
room, and how our identity increasingly resembles that of our avatar.
ELIAS ABOUJAOUDE, MD, a Stanford University psychiatrist, earned an MD from Stanford
University and a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He lives in San

It's Dade's last summer at home. He has a crappy job at Food World, a “boyfriend” who won’t
publicly acknowledge his existence (maybe because Pablo also has a girlfriend), and parents on the
verge of a divorce. College is Dade’s shining beacon of possibility, a horizon to keep him from
floating away. Then he meets the mysterious Alex Kincaid. Falling in real love finally lets Dade come
out of the closet—and, ironically, ignites a ruthless passion in Pablo. But just when true happiness
has set in, tragedy shatters the dreamy curtain of summer, and Dade will use every ounce of
strength he’s gained to break from his past and start fresh with the future.
NICK BURD received his MFA from the New School. His debut novel The Vast Fields of Ordinary was
published in May 2009 by Dial Books for Young Readers and received starred reviews from Kirkus

With time running out to stop the nuclear destruction of Tel Aviv, Dewey Andreas must defeat his
most fearsome opponent yet.
Dewey Andreas, a former Army Ranger and Delta, owes his life to Meir and his team of Israeli
commandos. Now to repay his debt, Dewey has to attempt the impossible – to both rescue Meir
from one of the world’s most secure prisons and to find and eliminate Iran’s nuclear bomb before
it’s deployed. All without the help or sanction of Israel or America (at the near certain risk of
detection by Iran). Unfortunately, Dewey’s first moves have caught the attention of Abu Paria, the
brutal and brilliant head of VEVAK, the Iranian secret service. Now Dewey has to face off against,
outwit and outfight, an opponent with equal cunning, skill and determination, with the fate of
millions hanging in the balance.

“A book that will keep you up at night--first with the titillation of a great read, then with dread that
Ben's plot might not be all that imaginary. A sumptuous dessert for a thriller reader.”
-Brian Haig, author of The Capitol Game
“...the plot sizzles with action, and the details have an authentic ring that put this thriller a cut

“Envision Clancy, Forsyth, and le Carre all writing in their prime…then kick in the boosters!”
-Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling author of Full Black
In COUP D’ETAT, Ben Coes’ second international thriller, worldwide terrorism has escalated out of
control. Since his defeat of terror-mastermind Alex Fortuna in POWER DOWN, Dewey Andreas has
been cowpoking on an isolated ranch near Cooktown, Australia. But after a series of minor borderincidents in Kashmir ignite into the threat of global nuclear war, U.S. President Allaire calls on his
master-assassin Andreas to ‘eliminate’ the war-mongering new president of Pakistan, Omar ElKhayab. While Andreas is amassing forces for this mission, El-Khayab drops a nuclear bomb on
India, and all bets are off. With China as ally to Pakistan, and with the U.S. allied to India by
longstanding treaty, nuclear Armageddon seems unavoidable. Protected by the best-trained
commandoes of Al-Quaeda and H amas, Omar El-Khayab seems untouchable, yet only the
overthrow of this most maniacal leader since Hitler can prevent nuclear holocaust. Jam-packed
with crisp and cinematic action, this thriller doesn’t quit. Ben Coes once again weaves terrifying
and timely issues into the riveting, ongoing story of a man torn between his bloodthirst and his
conscience.

"A ripping thriller from an exciting new novelist. Power Down kept me glued, turning the pages.
Lots of action, a terrific hero, and a slimy villain-- thrillers don't get any better."

A major North American hydroelectric dam is blow up and the largest off-shore oil field in this
hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the
terrorists didn’t take in to account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of
Columbia—slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform—and that was the Capitana
crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as
many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun.
27
While the intelligence and law enforcement agencies scramble to untangle these events and find the
people responsible, the mysterious figure of Alexander Fortuna—an agent embedded into the
highest levels of American society and business—sets into play the second stage of these longplanned attacks. The only fly in the ointment is Dewey Andreas—who is using all his long-dormant
skills to fight his way off the platform, then out of Columbia and back to the U.S., following the trail
of terrorists and operatives sent to stop him.
Power Down is a gripping, compelling debut thriller from a powerful new author, an amazing talent
certain to join the ranks of the genre’s finest writers.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Kirkus Reviews Outstanding Debut of 2011
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2011
One summer day, Margaux Fragoso meets Peter Curran at the neighborhood swimming pool, and
they begin to play. She is seven; he is fifty-one. When Peter invites her and her mother to his house,
the little girl finds a child’s paradise of exotic pets and an elaborate backyard garden. Her mother,
beset by mental illness and overwhelmed by caring for Margaux, is grateful for the attention Peter
lavishes on her, and he creates an imaginative universe for her, much as Lewis Carroll did for his
real-life Alice.
In time, he insidiously takes on the role of Margaux’s playmate, father, and lover. Charming and
manipulative, Peter burrows into every aspect of Margaux’s life and transforms her from a child
fizzing with imagination and affection into a brainwashed young woman on the verge of suicide. But
when she is twenty-two, it is Peter—ill, and wracked with guilt—who kills himself, at the age of
sixty-six.
Told with lyricism, depth, and mesmerizing clarity, Tiger, Tiger vividly illustrates the healing power
of memory and disclosure. This extraordinary memoir is an unprecedented glimpse into the psyche
29
of a young girl in free fall and conveys to readers—including parents and survivors of abuse—just
how completely a pedophile enchants his victim and binds her to him.
MARGAUX FRAGOSO has a PhD in English/creative writing from Binghamton University. Her short
stories and poems have appeared in The Literary Review, Barrow Street, Other Voices, and
Paddlefish, among various other literary journals.

“Reminiscent of Freakonomics . . . An agreeable guide to popular avenues of inquiry in the field of
anthrozoology…” - The New Yorker
“In his fascinating new book, Hal Herzog looks at the wild, tortured paradoxes in our relationship
with the weaker, if sometimes more adorable, species.” - Kerry Lauerman, Salon
“A fun read. . . . What buoys this book is Herzog’s voice. He’s an assured, knowledgeable and friendly
guide.” - Associated Press
How do we reconcile our love for animals with our nearly insatiable desire to eat them? Do children
who abuse animals usually become violent adults? Why do some breeds of dogs become popular
almost overnight? It is ethical to use dolphins as therapists for autistic children? Why do most
vegetarians eventually return to eating meat? What are the real health benefits of living with pets?
Alternately poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat takes
readers on a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of humananimal interactions, relating Dr. Herzog’s groundbreaking research on groups such as animal rights
activists, biomedical researchers, cockfighters, and veterinary students. Using cognitive psychology,
evolutionary biology, anthropology and moral philosophy, Herzog carefully crafts a seamless
narrative composed of real life anecdotes, the latest scientific research, and his own sense of moral
ambivalence.
Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat offers a refreshing new perspective on our lives with
animals—one that will forever change the way we look at our relationships with other creatures
and, in so doing, will also change the way we look at ourselves.
A prize-winning teacher and researcher, DR. HAL HERZOG is regarded as one of the world’s leading
experts on human-animal relations. He is Professor of Psychology at Western Carolina University
and lives in the mountains of North Carolina with his wife Mary Jean and their cat.
Lori Ostlund, THE BIGNESS OF THE WORLD
University of Georgia Press; October 2010
Translation/UK: C&S
30
Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award, the California Book Award for First Fiction and the
Edmund White Debut Fiction Award
Stories chosen for Best American Short Stories 2010 and 2011 PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories
In Lori Ostlund’s debut collection people seeking escape from situations at home venture out into a
world that they find is just as complicated and troubled as the one they left behind. In prose
highlighted by both satire and poignant observation, Ostlund offers characters that represent a
different sort of everyman—men and women who poke fun at ideological rigidity while holding fast
to good grammar and manners, people seeking connections in a world that seems increasingly
foreign. In “Upon Completion of Baldness” a young woman shaves her head for a part in a movie in
Hong Kong that will help her escape life with her lover in Albuquerque. The precocious narrator of
“All Boy” finds comfort when he is locked in a closet by a babysitter. In “Dr. Deneau’s Punishment” a
math teacher leaving New York for Minnesota as a means of punishing himself engages in an
unsettling method of discipline. A lesbian couple whose relationship is disintegrating flees to the
Moroccan desert in “The Children Beneath the Seat.” And in “Idyllic Little Bali” a group of
Americans gather around a pool in Java to discuss their brushes with fame and end up witnessing a
man's fatal flight from his wife.
“[R]are revelatory moments of beauty and sanity stand out like shells on a litter-fouled beach.”
—Pamela Miller, Star Tribune
“For Lori Ostlund and her characters, language matters. Ostlund graces her creations with language
that is precise, and suffused with a sly humor.” —Sylvia Brownrigg, San Francisco Chronicle
“Ostlund’s remarkable debut collection deftly navigates the treacherous shoals of decaying
relationships in which the protagonists often escape to faraway lands in order to find themselves,
or, at the very least, their partners. . . . A specific disenchantment inhabits these stories—the
disenchantment of the uncompromising romantic confronted with the evaporative nature of love.
Each piece is sublime.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)

The Hardings are teetering on the brink. Elson—once one of Houston’s most promising architects,
who never quite lived up to expectations—is recently divorced from his wife of thirty years,
Cadence. Their grown son, Richard, is still living at home: driving his mother’s minivan, working at
a local coffee shop, resisting the career as a writer that beckons him. But when Chloe Harding gets
kicked out of her East Coast college, for reasons she can’t explain to either her parents or her older
brother, the Hardings’ lives start to unravel. Chloe returns to Houston, but the dangers set in motion
back at school prove inescapable. Told with piercing insight, taut psychological suspense, and the
wisdom of a true master of character, this is a novel about the vagaries of love and family, about
betrayal and forgiveness, about the possibility and impossibility of coming home.
Andrew Porter is the author of the story collection The Theory of Light and Matter, which won the
Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, he has
31
received a Pushcart Prize, a James Michener/Copernicus Fellowship, and the W.K. Rose Fellowship
in the Creative Arts. His work has appeared in One Story, The Threepenny Review, and on public
radio's Selected Shorts. Currently, he teaches fiction writing and directs the creative writing
program at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
“[Gives] a real and moving sense of how families are composed of so many moments mutually and
individually and collectively experienced . . . The author manages to make us care, to help us see
how every move and each decision, however seemingly important or inconsequential, ravels and
unravels a family’s life, as the fabric nonetheless somehow holds together . . . Eloquent.”
—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“In Between Days confirms that Andrew Porter has arrived . . . A Jamesian examination of character
that dances a quadrille with the points of view of the four Hardings, the novel sustains the taut
suspense of crime fiction . . . The prose and pacing are nearly flawless.” —Texas Observer
“A stirring page-turner, part Chekhov and part Hitchcock.” —Houston magazine
“The story is told with great emotional and psychological insight. All of the four Hardings get to tell
their pieces of the story in their distinct voices, creating a multilayered and suspenseful tale of love
in all its varieties and family defined in different ways.” —Booklist
“Porter’s absorbing debut novel chronicles the slow-motion fracture of an upper-middle-class
Houston clan . . . The prose is smooth—practically frictionless, thanks to Porter’s realistic yet
meaningful dialogue and his plainspoken, nonjudgmental descriptions.” —Kirkus Reviews
Glenn Taylor, THE MARROWBONE MARBLE COMPANY

AN INDIE NEXT PICK
Amazon’s Best Books of the Month
“National Book Critics Circle Award-finalist Glenn Taylor impresses with his second novel, The
Marrowbone Marble Company. The title is a mouthful, but seems just right given the satisfying and
substantive story of a man determined to create his own utopia in the hardscrabble and raciallydivided West Virginia of the post-war years. Loyal Ledford, a poor-as-dirt orphan works the
furnaces of the local glass factory, yet he plots his escape by joining the Marines. He soon finds
himself in another purgatory--Guadalcanal--in the last years of WWII. With a wounded body and
mind, Ledford returns home, determined to start a family and live on his own terms. On old family
land, he rediscovers kin and builds a marble factory from the ground up with the help of two partIndian cousins, an idealistic white preacher, and an African-American family. Within the novel's
historic context, the small Marrowbone community, comprised of unique and open-minded souls is,
like the marbles it produces, a perfect microcosm in a very imperfect world.”
- Lauren Nemroff, Amazon.com
“Taylor’s socially astute and fast-moving sophomore novel is earthy, authentic, and a testament to
his literary talent.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review
32
“Taylor, a mesmerizing storyteller fascinated by small wonders as well as epic change, balances
rage with tenderness as his intriguing and heroic characters effect a small revolution. With an acute
sense of nature’s mysteries as well as human suffering and redemption, Taylor has created a
remarkably complex, soulful, and provocative historical novel righteous in its perspective on
America’s struggle to live up to its core beliefs.” —Donna Seaman, Booklist, starred review
“Glenn Taylor’s plain spoken eloquence on labor, race, and war recalls the voices in Studs Terkel’s
inspired Working. The Marrowbone Marble Company, a novel of stirring clarity and power, speaks
unforgettably from a half century ago to issues still unresolved in American life. Taylor has
composed a hymn to the human heart.” – Jayne Anne Phillips, author of Lark and Termite
From the author of The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart, a finalist for the 2009 National Book Critics
Circle Award, comes this sweeping novel of love and war, power and oppression, faith and
deception, over the course of three defining american decades. Returning to the West Virginia
territory of the critically acclaimed The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart, Glenn Taylor recounts the
transformative journey of a man and his community. Told in clean and powerful prose in the
tradition of Cormac McCarthy and John Irving, The Marrowbone Marble Company takes a harrowing
look at the issues of race and class throughout the tumultuous 1950s and '60s. It is a story of
struggle and loss, righteousness and redemption, and it can only be found in the hills of
Marrowbone. Glenn Taylor was born and raised in Huntington, West Virginia. His first novel, The
Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a
Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. Taylor lives in Morgantown, West Virginia
with his wife and three sons. He teaches in the English Department at West Virginia University.
