Winner of the 2016 Kentucky Literary AwardFinalist for Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award"Twenty-two stories ranging in length from a few paragraphs to 20 or so pages and in style from the freakishly absurd to the heartbreakingly realistic.Griner excels in his longer stories, one of which—"On Board the SS Irresponsible"—borders on being a masterpiece. . . . Griner's stories shine a glaring light on the complexities of human personality and family relationships.”—Kirkus, Starred Review"Griner approaches everyday tragedies by building elaborate machines and shaky structures in the hope of creating a facsimile of life that might somehow become real....A pleasure." —The New York Times"In his second story collection, Griner overlays tales of family, artistry, and parent-child relationships with elements of the surreal, in order to create, in the words of one character, 'an undercurrent of mournfulness' . . . . A line from 'Immanent in the Last Sheaf,' another masterly short piece, could serve as the collection’s mission statement: 'It was better not to guess,' the protagonist tell us, 'than to guess incorrectly.'"—Publishers Weekly"Griner's stories...reveal the miraculous and the terrifying.... Like the ever-shifting landscapes encountered by Griner's characters, these stories channel unpredictability in a variety of ways, memorably showcasing the literal and figurative dangers around us."—Minneapolis Star Tribune"This eclectic yet wonderfully coherent collection proves once again Griner’s acute grasp of the complex and slippery emotions leading from gladness to mourning…. [T]he one constant in Griner’s stories is that the pain of loss is inevitable and unfathomably difficult to deal with. This is not to say that the stories, with their deadpan narrators, impossible ethical dilemmas, and often bizarre and dream-like internal laws, do not also manage to be hysterically funny. Griner understands that, at their core, emotions are physiological noise, and he expertly evokes situations in which the reader is invited to indulge in almost medical self-observation before responding to the stories’ absurdities and profundities with the same narrow embodied repertoire—laughter, sadness, confusion—as Griner’s protagonists and narrators."—The Carolina Quarterly“Paul Griner finds surprising and inventive ways to write about a wide range of sometimes uncomfortable—but always interesting—situations. The writing is careful, precise, shocking—stylistically brilliant. The stories are sometimes surreal, but convincing all the same. They take your breath away!”—Bobbie Ann Mason, author of The Girl in the Blue Beret"Paul Griner's Hurry Please I Want to Know takes the reader on a sweeping tour of America—from Iraqi soldiers to prison telemarketers, from famous cartoonists to bone procurers, from missing persons to the resurrected dead–the real, the surreal and everything in-between. Griner seems to know everybody's secrets, and this astonishing collection sets out to reveal them.—Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply and Stay Awake “Paul Griner is a daredevil of a storyteller, fearless but always in control, equally adept at wild satire and sharp-edged domestic drama. Anyone who cares about the short story—or just loves good writing—should make a beeline for this remarkable collection.”—Tom Perrotta

"Though the book's title might resemble that of a self-help book, the essays in Vigderman's collection dwell not on despair, but on the project of translating chaotic experience into art or memory.... She is enthusiastic about beautiful language and new words--and her writing, lyrical and graceful, shows it."--Publishers Weekly"Vigderman specializes in elliptical, epigrammatic insight that makes connections that readers might not otherwise perceive. Most of the essays (many of them little longer than a page or two) were published independently, and all can stand on their own, but the author has provided a conceptual framework and thread of continuity as she groups them into four parts, moving from “Internal Conversations” to “The Measure of Grief ” in the opening and two most compelling sections.... Frequent illumination within the density of compression, as the writer challenges readers to determine what they’re thinking and feeling about what she’s thinking and feeling."--Kirkus Reviews

A New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceA Los Angeles Times Fabulous Holiday Book"Crane’s verse sounds good in English, and it comes with facing-page Swedish.... Her Tranströmer wants to be heard: “If I could at least get them to feel,” he writes, “that this trembling beneath us/ means we’re on a bridge.” Readers who know earlier versions, or who know Swedish, will want to contrast these versions with what they know; readers new to Tranströmer should bundle up and dive in."—Publishers Weekly, starred review"Immediate, bodily...vivid...full of intent and personality.  To my ear, Crane has so far made the best English version of Tran­strömer....Tran­strömer’s poetry is concerned with precisely how little we’re able to really see, yet how much that little is worth. His is a tense, taut music, easier to hear in Crane’s slightly relaxed interpretation."—The New York Times Book Review“Reading this poem, a translation from its original Swedish, I was reminded of that childhood wonder and felt again the heft of so many truths waiting to be known.”—Natasha Trethewey, New York Times Magazine"Sometimes a new piece of shared cultural heritage seems to click into place; the appearance of Bright Scythe—selected poems by Swedish Nobel laureate Tomas Tranströmer, translated by Patty Crane—feels like such an occasion. These poems are adamantly delicate parcels of offhand eternity, dwelling in a space few have inhabited usefully in any sustained way….If, as Borges says, “poetry springs from something deeper,” then these poems are leaded windows and fine-hewn doors ajar into that fathoming—rendered in “glass-clear” translations—and a lasting tribute to the poet’s passing earlier this year. "—World Literature Today"Quietly revelatory...Between his own words and Crane’s warm remembrances of her time with the Tranströmers, this book acts as a kind of shadow biography of the poet. It’s a haunting, mysterious, but ultimately warm and humanistic work, and a welcome introduction both to Tranströmer’s poetry and in the debates over how best to translate it into another tongue."—Biographile"Patty [Crane]'s book has such transparency and illumination and candor.... For me, this is the finest translation since Bly's."—Teju Cole"For those of you who missed out on the Nobel Prize-winning poet Tranströmer, who died last year, Bright Scythe—with its lively translation by Patty Crane (who worked with the poet)—is the place to start."—Flavorwire, "Ten Must-Read Books for November 2015""Bright Scythe, a collection of [Tranströmer's] work newly translated from the Swedish by Patty Crane, is a literary panorama with work from 1954 to 2004, and deftly traces the poet’s quiet interrogation with life’s phenomena.... Crane, whose work presents the original jagged Swedish on the opposite page of her translations, stays close to the source. She measures with finesse each syllable and simile."—Electric Literature"Bright Scythe is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Tranströmer’s concise and penetrating body of work."—The Cafe Review

&#147;Highly acclaimed poet and novelist Kasischke&#8217;s first collection is a surreal, sometimes shocking, often humorous journey to the dark side of American domestic life&#133;. This collection of intelligently crafted stories will satisfy Kasischke fans and short story lovers alike. Highly recommended.&#8221;&#151;Starred Review, Library Journal"In Kasischke's moody first collection of stories (after eight novels and eight poetry collections, including the NBCC Award-winning Space in Chains), characters are ill equipped to handle anger and fear, and they find their old refuges lacking.... The disruption of families and neighborhoods is a particular theme, with the real-life dangers of poverty and foreclosure intertwining with unreal details and true-crime plots.... Noxious, unforgettable narrative.... A slim but winning collection."--Publishers Weekly"Laura Kasischke's first collection of stories, If a Stranger Approaches You, describes a world haunted, not by the undead, but by the phantoms of unemployment, increased airport security and missed credit card payments. The signature confluence between realism and the uncanny found in much of Kasischke's writing, both as poet and novelist, makes this book an important addition to her own body of work and to the contemporary literature of end times&#133;. Not even the unspeakable escapes Kasischke's eye."--NPR Books"Throughout her alarming and gorgeous collection of 15 short stories, If a Stranger Approaches You, Kasischke artfully plays with the line that divides private fantasy from public acts."--Boston Globe"In Kasischke's book, unsettling encounters occur in both familiar places--airports, suburban neighborhoods--and in surreal locations. In "Our Father," children camouflage their father in gray rags on a gray couch in case "Officials" look for him during "the War." But what war? Where? The many successful stories.... are masterfully told... Though unsettling, this debut story collection makes gripping reading."--Minneapolis Star Tribune
