By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature&ldquo;Sinclair Lewis&rsquo;s best&mdash;and most misunderstood&mdash;novel . . . Lewis&rsquo;s Babbitt is . . . one of a small group of American fictional creations who, in the early years of the 20th century, stand in their very different ways as landmarks in the story of the social evolution of our country: Dreiser&rsquo;s Sister Carrie, Wharton&rsquo;s Lily Bart, Booth Tarkington&rsquo;s Alice Adams, with Gatsby on the horizon.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert Gottlieb, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;It is Babbitt that is [Sinclair Lewis&rsquo;s] most perfect creation. . . . We have to be thankful for the minor miracle that after almost a century, Babbitt still speaks to us all.&rdquo; &mdash;Azar Nafisi, in The Republic of Imagination&ldquo;The equal of any novel written in English in the present century.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Virginia Woolf, The Saturday Review&ldquo;Babbitt is now well into its nineties, but George F. Babbitt still lives and breathes and harrumphs. It&rsquo;s impossible, especially during any American election season, to read a newspaper or turn on the television without hearing the echoes of his voice. Babbitt is the original American everyman.&rdquo; &mdash;Nathaniel Rich, from the Foreword

A student of Heinecken at UCLA, Callis offers a female counterpoint to his work: She teases us with sexuality through provocative poses, skin altered by lipstick and binding, relics of fetishes, and another's roving hands. &ndash; American Photo

Callis helped pioneer studio photography into its full, chromatic potential. She was among the first to blur interiors with interiority in a manner both uncanny and unutterable, like the moment a song shifts from major to minor key, or a scene from a dream in which you can’t name the face, but you know exactly whom you are with. Her picture’s aren’t coquettish; there isn’t any cheeckiness to her suggstions. There is only an odd arousal, an absolute command of the strange. &ndash; Dazed 

The images present a bloodless eroticism, uncanny, simultaneously sexual and absented of desire. &ndash; American Suburbx 

Callis’ body of work doesn’t just speak to hidden desires; it is also candid and almost unsettlingly sensuous in its fragmented treatment of the body, existing in a detached, dreamlike state of timelessness without definitive context. &ndash; Interview 

Callis’ lavishly saturated Cibachromes of cinematic, painstakingly composed tableaux of food, the body, and everyday objects play with surrealism and tease the subconscious, oftentimes set within the domestic space and dealing with tropes of femininity. &ndash; Interview 

Her imagery feels deliciously voyeuristic, with many of her subjects’ faces obscured, or just a ash of bound flesh in frame. Callis invites us to peer in on a private tableau, and praise the power of the body. &ndash; Flare

“Situated on the border between the First and the Third World, Cardenal and Merton think from the standpoint of the excluded, identify with victims of the colonial/imperial matrix of power, depict in their letters a world composed of multiple worlds. All in all, they offer us a glimmer of hope amidst the current spectacle of nationalist-separatist revivals. Through their letters Merton and Cardenal engage and transcend the deepest fears of the twenty-first century and point the way to a better future. In sum, From the Monastery to the World is both timely and wise.” —Malgorzata Poks, author of Multiculturalism, Multilingualism and the Self

A delicate line and soft colors depict a diverse cast of winsome characters and the dainty details of how they spread goodwill."&#160;&mdash;School Library Journal&#160;"How and why a symbol of exclusion can be transformed into just the opposite . . .&#160;the message is worthy."&#160;&mdash;Kirkus

These images are not intented to be art&mdash;they are scientific documents, yet they are as great as any art I have seen. For us in the creative world obsessed with photography and art, these images are a strong tonic reminding us of how big and still unknown the universe is. &ndash; Alexander Galan, WESC

The images combine his mastery of hues and composition with an almost fey sense of strange subject matter - like a cross between the bizarre alchemy in Roger Ballen's work and the colorful absurdity of Martin Parr's.

Praise for Where All Light Tends to Go&ldquo;[A] remarkable first novel . . . This isn&rsquo;t your ordinary coming-of-age novel, but with his bone-cutting insights into these men and the region that bred them, Joy makes it an extraordinarily intimate experience.&rdquo;&mdash;Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;[An] accomplished debut . . . In Appalachia, a young outlaw, Jacob McNeely, struggles to escape what Faulkner called that &ldquo;old fierce pull of blood,&rdquo; a violent meth-dealing father, the dark legacies of an unforgiving place and the terrible miseries it breeds. [A] beautiful, brutal book.&rdquo;&mdash;Minneapolis Star-Tribune&ldquo;Readers of Southern grit lit in the tradition of Daniel Woodrell and  Harry Crews will enjoy this fast-paced debut thriller. Fans of Ron  Rash&rsquo;s novels will appreciate the intricate plot and Joy&rsquo;s establishment  of a strong sense of place in his depiction of rural Appalachia.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;Bound to draw comparisons to Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone...[Joy's] moments of poetic cognizance are the stuff of fine fiction, lyrical sweets that will keep readers turning pages...Where All Light Tends To Go is a book that discloses itself gradually, like a sunrise peeking over a distant mountain range...If [Joy's next] novel is anything like his first, it'll be worth the wait.&rdquo;&mdash;Atlanta Journal-Constitution&ldquo;Joy&rsquo;s first novel is an uncompromising noir, its downward thrust pulling like quicksand on both the characters and the reader. And, yet, there is poetry here, too, as there is in Daniel Woodrell&rsquo;s novels, the kind of poetry that draws its power from a doomed character&rsquo;s grit in the face of disaster. . . This is the start of a very promising fiction-writing career.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Gripping . . . Engaging characters, a well-realized setting, and poetic prose establish Joy as a novelist worth watching.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Joy&rsquo;s debut is about hope as much as it is fate . . . [it] is harrowing.&#160; Joy&rsquo;s voice is authentic, his prose sparse, his eye for detail minute.&#160; Everything works in this novel to push the reader closer and closer to the cliff&rsquo;s edge, hoping against hope that what won&rsquo;t be required is to jump off.&rdquo;&mdash;Mountain Times&ldquo;Joy works with the materials many call the stuff of &ldquo;country noir.&rdquo; The result calls to mind the work of powerful writers such as Ron Rash, Daniel Woodrell, Mark Powell, and Cormac McCarthy . . . Joy has crafted a piece of masterful fiction. &#160;His sense of pace, his ability to catch the reader off guard with explosive and often upsetting incidents, his way with the shape of a chapter&mdash;all herald a major young writer.&rdquo;&mdash;Still: The Journal&ldquo;Where All Light Tends to Go&#160;is lyrical, propulsive, dark and compelling. In this debut novel, David Joy makes it clear that he knows well the grit and gravel of his world, the soul and blemishes of the place. He uses details that put us inside the picture, and lets his narrative move at a graceful but restless pace.&rdquo;&mdash;Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter&rsquo;s Bone and The Maid&rsquo;s Version &ldquo;David Joy has written a savage and moving account of a young man&rsquo;s attempt to transcend his family&rsquo;s legacy of violence.&#160;Where All Light Tends to Go is an outstanding debut and a fine addition to the country noir vein of Southern Literature.&rdquo;&mdash;Ron Rash, PEN/Faulkner Finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Serena  &ldquo;Where All Light Tends to Go is deeply rooted in place, written in an assured, authentic voice. David Joy manages to be both lyrical and gritty, loving and horrifyingly violent, funny and grim. His picture of modern Appalachia is rich and evocative, with bold storytelling not often seen in a first novel. This book is an amazing start to a career that could make Joy the Larry Brown of the Appalachians.&rdquo;&mdash;Ace Atkins, New York Times-bestselling author of The Forsaken &ldquo;Compelling and authentic . . . a harsh tale of young love&rsquo;s tender hopes set against the brutal realities of ruined Appalachia. Jacob McNeely&rsquo;s story is one worth reading.&rdquo;&mdash;Tawni O&rsquo;Dell, New York Times-bestselling author of Back Roads &ldquo;David Joy writes under the auspices of community, heartbreak, and love, and makes use of the warmest color in fiction - gray. What is right and what is wrong and who is to decide? In the North Carolina mountains, these answers don't come easy. Big decisions come with big consequences, and if you second guess, you lose.&rdquo;&mdash;Michael Farris Smith, author of Rivers and The Hands of Strangers &ldquo;Running with the dopers, drunks and less fortunate in my youth, those who were doomed by their surroundings, the story that David Joy tells is one of truth, power and circumstance and quite possibly a tour de force in American letters.&rdquo;&mdash;Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook &#160; &ldquo;Where All Light Tends to Go&#160;reads like the whiskey-breath of Harry Crews word-drunk on the lyricism of Daniel Woodrell. It's as brutally beautiful as it is heartbreaking.&rdquo;&mdash;Mark Powell, author of The Dark Corner &#160; &ldquo;David Joy gives us a world that is equal parts graceful beauty and true grit in this poetic and heart-pounding novel.&#160; Where All Light Tends to Go contains those essential elements for a novel that &lsquo;sticks to the ribs&rsquo;:&#160; complex and memorable characters, a palpable sense of place, and a plot that is driven as much by suspense as lyricism.&#160; You won't be able to put down this profoundly moving and illuminating look into a mysterious and intricate world where the smell of the southern pines mingles with the scent of cooking meth.&rdquo;&mdash;Silas House, author of Clay's Quilt and Eli the Good &ldquo;David Joy's Where All Light Tends to Go will be compared to a handful of grit lit masterpieces, but Joy's his own writer. &#160;It's a double page turner--I couldn't stop reading, but I relished each page twice, mesmerized by the language and plot twists. For every scene of evil personified, there's goodness. &#160;For every horrific act of lawless characters, there's the sublime. &#160;I'll remember&mdash;and be haunted by&mdash;this novel for a long, long time.&rdquo;&mdash;George Singleton, author of Between Wrecks
