&ldquo;Lovers of urban fantasy, biblical mythology, and mystery enthusiasts will find plenty to like in Conspiracy of Angels.&rdquo; -&#160;Open Book Society&#160;"Belanger&rsquo;s writing shows real grit and Conspiracy of Angels doesn&rsquo;t shy away from delving into horrors that will send a chill up the your spine." -&#160;The Absolute&ldquo;A very well-written book&rdquo; -&#160;Love Jessica"This story is a fast-paced, roller coaster through a fascinating world...truly entertaining." -&#160;&#160;Impedimenta magazine&#160;&ldquo;The greatest strength of the novel is Belanger&rsquo;s excellent characterisation, particularly of her female characters.&#160; I especially loved Saliriel. Firstly, because she is so wonderfully Machiavellian and you are never quite certain as to where her true allegiances lie...Secondly, because Belanger has taken the bold decision to include a transgender woman as a main character and to make her scheming and manipulations a more prominent feature of her character than her gender identity.&rdquo; -&#160;Mugglenet&#160;&ldquo;This is an urban fantasy that slides right into your head and doesn&rsquo;t let go.&rdquo; -&#160;Bookie Monster

&ldquo;As a result of over 200 section hikes and countless hours of collaboration with the ATC, hikers, historians, photographers, writers, and maintaining clubs in the Trail community&mdash;Sarah has produced a first-of-its-kind resource packed with Trail and shelter photos, history, information, and detailed maps.&rdquo; &mdash; A.T. Journeys Magazine, the membership magazine of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy&ldquo;I had the good fortune to chat with Sarah Jones Decker about her book of Appalachian Trail shelters on my podcast recently. Sarah is a photographer and took on a project to not only visit but also document and photograph each of the over 275&#160;shelters along the trail. She kindly&#160;sent me a copy of her book, and I found it to be endlessly fascinating. I was drawn back to the time I spent in and around many of these shelters, having thru-hiked the trail in 2014 and 2019. The shelters are intrinsic to the trail and provide much of the social interaction for thru- section-, and day-hikers. Sarah captures those moments beautifully. I highly recommend this book.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Steve &ldquo;Mighty Blue&rdquo; Adams, Author, Podcaster, Speaker: &#160;MightyBlueontheAT.com&ldquo;There have been scores, even hundreds, of guidebooks, memoirs, coffee-table books, and even illustrated children&rsquo;s books published about the trail. So kudos to anyone who comes up with a new idea that&rsquo;s not just original, but necessary, which is exactly what AT thru-hiker (class of &rsquo;08), photographer, writer, mother, and farmer&#160;Sarah Jones Decker&#160;has done with her deeply appealing, highly informative new photographic survey of shelters. Infused with the spirit of the trail on every page, the book serves as everything from a kind of magic carpet for AT veterans missing the trail to a genuinely useful introduction for newcomers to North America&rsquo;s most famous long trail. It&rsquo;s just one of those books I want to spend a lot of time with. Even if you haven&rsquo;t yet hiked on the AT, I highly recommend the book. Cumulatively, the photos, essays, graphics, and maps come together for a surprisingly comprehensive portrait of what it&rsquo;s like to be on the trail. Future hikers who study the book will have all kinds of fun and funky details with which to regale their fellows.&rdquo; &mdash;Clay "Pony" Bonnyman&#160;for The Trek&ldquo;Packed cover to cover with detailed history, images, stories, and maps, the stout book is a dang fine companion for a morning&rsquo;s first cup of coffee or a cold drink at the end of the day&mdash;both perfect times to day dream of your next adventure.&rdquo; &mdash;&#160;Field Mag&ldquo;This is THE book on &lsquo;The Shelters of the&#160;Earth,&rsquo; and will be in hikers hands and backpacks and under the cots of the AT shelters, lean-tos, and huts this summer. I treasure the arrangement of pics&#160;and text, and the&#160;smiling nine-month old hiking buddy, Josephine, on page 14. I expect copies will be in her grandchildren&rsquo;s backpacks and on shelter shelves in 2070.&#160;With taped-on covers!&rdquo; &mdash;Patricia Sacks, DV/AMC Shelter Chairman and Director of Libraries, Cedar Crest + Muhlenberg Colleges

In FBI Agent Atlee Pine, he has envisioned a new kind of heroine, forged in the fire of trauma and driven by a rare kind of strength. It should come as no shock that a thriller writer for the ages has created a character for the ages!

"Brian Masaru Hayashi's ambitious effort makes available much new archival data and presents original and provocative interpretations. . . . Democratizing the Enemy is an original and stimulating examination of the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans, and as such, it brings new perspectives to the topic. It should be read by all those interested in this unique and tumultuous period."---Stephen S. Fugita, Western Historical Quarterly

"This novel&#160;is messy, exhilarating&#160;and hugely enjoyable. It is to the credit of Noel H&eacute;nand&eacute;z Gonzalez and Daniel Hahn that they engage so exuberantly with the technical and creative challenge&#160;of conveying such a linguistically imaginative novel into English."&mdash;R&oacute;n&aacute;n Hession, The Irish Times&ldquo;The Night is about palindromes and murderers, anagrams and social chaos, how words work and countries break down. A daring and smart novelistic debut.&rdquo; &mdash;Juan Gabriel V&aacute;squez, author of The Sound of Things Falling&ldquo;Jean Genet argued that it was impossible to commit a truly criminal act in a criminal society. He was thinking of Vichy France, but much the same is true in Rodrigo Blanco Calder&oacute;n's subtle, intricate, very literary thriller set in the Venezuela of today. A page-turner for intelligent readers.&rdquo; &mdash;Alberto Manguel, author of A History of Reading"Fiction, reality and popular culture knit a web of parallels and echoes, reminiscent of the work of Agust&iacute;n Fern&aacute;ndez Mallo, with nods to Roberto Bola&ntilde;o&rsquo;s marginal writers &mdash;briskly deromanticized. The winner of the Mario Vargas Llosa Prize in 2019, The Night, which now appears in translation by Daniel Hahn and Noel Hern&aacute;ndez Gonz&aacute;lez, is unabashed literature about literature and, most originally, its building blocks in language."&mdash;Lorna Scott Fox, TLS Times Literary Supplement"Venezuelan writer Blanco Calder&oacute;n weaves a labyrinthine study of language, writers, and obsession against a backdrop of rampant femicides and the energy and political crises in contemporary Caracas. Three characters alternate the narration. There&rsquo;s Mat&iacute;as Rye, a struggling writer who runs writing workshops at a local high school and is working on a novel titled The Night; Miguel Ardiles, a psychiatrist who loves to blur boundaries with his clients and dreams of being a writer; and Pedro &Aacute;lamo, a writer obsessed with palindromes, anagrams, acrostics, and double-texts, cleverly translated by Hahn and Hern&aacute;ndez Gonz&aacute;lez: &ldquo;Alone, too, by myself, but noble, no regrets. You know the line, I suppose? But it can also be read as&#160;A loan to buy mice, elf, but no bell nor egrets.&rdquo;&#160;A plethora of other real and fictitious characters, mostly writers, inhabit the text in various ways, including Dar&iacute;o Lancini, a Venezuelan poet who wrote a 750-word palindrome, and Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, whose early 20th-century investigations into anagrams are intriguingly juxtaposed with contemporary murder investigations in Caracas. What emerges is a wild and complex celebration of language and storytelling. While dense, the result is exhilarating and entertaining."&mdash;Publishers Weekly

The Night

&#34;Perhaps the diaspora&#8217;s years and years of movement eventually lend themselves to loss. Leung points to this the same way in which she points to the pain of labor and the American work ethic. Where within this endless movement does one come to learn of oneself?&#160;That&#8217;s the question Imagine Us, The Swarm asks. And as much as the book contends with inter-generational and collective trauma, Leung wants us to remember that its lessons come from a place of strength: 'Part of repair is we tend to our past but also listen to those who are showing us the way,' she says.&#160;Which is what brings us back to the swarm.&#34;&#8212;NPR Morning Edition&#34;Through its innovative and galvanizing hybridity, Imagine Us, The Swarm turns us toward a tender reckoning with the precariousness of history and its humming laborers.&#34;&#8212;Harriet Books (Starred Review)&#34;In Imagine Us, The Swarm, Muriel Leung takes risks experimenting with non-traditional literary resources to show us the challenges faced by an immigrant family and alienation felt in the swarm. By doing so she deconstructs the myth of the successful immigrant, brings attention to the emotional baggage we carry in our journey, and delights the readers with exquisite poetic language.&#34;&#8212;New York Journal of Books&#34;Leung is not in the business of quibbling about genre nor in the habit of swimming too close to the genre wall. This book is a testament to plunges. This book is about sinking and rising, as most elegies are&#8212;sinking and rising again.&#34;&#8212;The Rumpus&#34;Leung articulates grief prismed by the politics of labor and race, reclaiming who can center loss and value the &#8220;arduous labor of some effortlessly seeming toil.&#8221; If we are going to labor, let it be to point to our own belonging as a fact, so large, so frequently repeated, that it cannot be overlooked.&#34;&#8212;Entropy&#34;The most energizing, fascinating, and challenging imaginative demands of this book lies in its experimental metaphors, which do not function linearly, but instead&#8212;swarm-like&#8212;constellate multiple points of simultaneous reference. Rather than following the expected pattern of connecting tenor to vehicle as a way to illuminate some quality of the described, Leung&#8217;s metaphors follow fast one upon another in a way that complicates the comparison and challenges the stability of the image.&#34;&#8212;Colorado Review&#34;'To write a book is to write into the future,' Muriel Leung writes of her own fear. But Leung is a writer-explorer unafraid to roam, pillage, mourn, or debate; and Imagine Us, The Swarm is the journey of its own migration, from the ashes of the past to a possible future; both honoring and questioning histories felt, researched, unearthed, corrected. With thoughtful intention and insistent curiosity, and the stylistic fearlessness of Layli Long Soldier and Chelsea Minnis, Imagine Us, The Swarm, above all, an invitation&#8212;to imagine, which is to remember, which is to see; which is, 'to be at once [colony] and [alone].' Traversing the pages of this work&#8212;its lines and underlines and overlines, its white space and connective tissues and mutability; its wisdom and consideration of everything from zygotes to mothers, to bees and the cost of effort and generational legacies of immigrant families&#8212;I am reminded of Adrienne Rich&#8217;s great epic, Diving into the Wreck; of the uncomfortable and essential pilgrimage into oneself, the voyage to save oneself by knowing oneself, and to imagine living through, as Leung writes, 'an efforted alive.'&#34;&#8212;Morgan Parker&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#34;Muriel Leung&#8217;s powerful new collection renders visible the liminal space of the Asian American, an occupied territory in which every silence, every potentiality, hums with the white noise of other people&#8217;s imaginings. Leung&#8217;s innovative poetics implicate the reader in the challenge of forming a post-immigrant self, caught between the competing imperatives of authenticity and assimilation: &#8216;And I am not even legible to myself. Cannot even English my way out.&#8217; To hear a new lyric voice emerge from the swarm is thrilling and inutterably moving.&#34;&#8212;Monica Youn&#34;The structural accomplishments in this collection are quite stunning, as she [Leung] utilizes a variety of lyric shapes and forms, long lines and fragments, to put together a book-length suite on loss and love, family and story, and what might be possible to learn from all that has come before. This is a remarkable book.&#34;&#8212;rob mclennan&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#8220;Muriel Leung&#8217;s Imagine Us, The Swarm offers seven powerful texts that form constellation of voices, forms, and approaches to confront loneliness, silence, and death. In a varied range of physical and poetic shapes and typography, Leung creates a lyric informed by theory, autobiography, and essay. One finds in the margins of this book deep dimensional portals of thought that resonate wildly. Wise and inventive, this book leads one deep into psychic regions oft unplumbed. Its rigors are complex and yet a reader feels nothing so much as invited in, and the rewards are plentiful and profound.&#8221;&#8212;Kazim Ali, Judge&#8217;s Citation for The Nightboat Books Poetry Prize
