&ldquo;What I like most about [Crafting with Feminism] is its throwback feel. Eff the too-perfect Pinterest aesthetic; this tome reminds me of the&#160;pre-Etsy era, when 'zines were the norm and crafts were kind of crude (with an endearing,&#160;knowing touch of Regretsy as well&mdash;ahem, vagina tree ornaments). Viva la DIY&#160;revolucion!&rdquo;&mdash;Bust&ldquo;In this sassy craft book, pop-culture expert, crafter, writer, and feminist Burton offers more than two dozen DIY projects inspired by real and fictional feminists&hellip;. Perfection &aacute; la Martha Stewart is not the goal here. Approaching loaded issues with a light heart and sense of humor is the aim.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;The projects in&#160;Crafting with Feminism&#160;ARE playful and funny, ironic and extroverted, but they also form a very solid, engaged education in modern feminism, body acceptance and body sovereignty....In many ways,&#160;Crafting with Feminism&#160;acts like a primer for a youthful feminist awakening for the twenty somethings.&rdquo;&mdash;Needle & Spindle&#160;&ldquo;I don't have time to tell you how much I love this book because I'm too busy crafting all my tampons into my imaginary friends.&#160; Also, I'm now out of tampons. Things are gonna get real weird if I forget to buy more.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy &#160; &ldquo;Crafting with Feminism reads much like Bonnie herself: fun, fierce, and forward. Reading it leaves you ready to DIY the inner bad-ass into your life.&rdquo;&mdash;Hannah Hart, host of &ldquo;My Drunk Kitchen&rdquo; &#160; &ldquo;Crafting with Feminism not only gives you a wide variety of delightful crafts, but it also tries to leave you with some extra skills for the future! Why NOT learn to embroider while plotting the destruction of the patriarchy?!&rdquo;&mdash;Kelly Sue DeConnick, comic book creator of Pretty Deadly and Bitch Planet &#160; &ldquo;Wait...did you say huggable uterus body pillow?...because you had me at vagina tree ornaments. Just as &lsquo;feminist&rsquo; is a badge of honor in modern times so is being a maker. Bonnie has married the DIY spirit with a celebration of women. I know what I am doing this weekend.&rdquo;&mdash;Kari Byron, &ldquo;MythBusters&rdquo; co-host &#160; &ldquo;This book invites you to join a community of inspired, creative people who care about the world and want to make a difference one finger puppet at a time. Share your thoughts and feelings about feminism by making art with your hands and join the revolution!&rdquo;&mdash;Diva Zappa, fashion designer & crafter &#160; &ldquo;This book will help you both make and fly your fiercest feminist flag with pride.&rdquo;&mdash;Sam Maggs, author of The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy&ldquo;Teens, young women, and aging Gen Xers who long for the cut-and-paste riot grrrl era will get a kick out of Burton&rsquo;s clever, craft-based celebration of womanhood.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&#160; &#160; &ldquo;&hellip;irreverent and inspiring book of projects with a saucy, sarcastic bent&hellip;. These craft ideas offer lots of fun inspiration for DIY gifts for feisty women, and playlists of movies and music, party themes, and tips to make throwing a feminist craft night a breeze.&rdquo;&mdash;Foreword Reviews&ldquo;The change-the-world spirit of feminism combines with the DIY attitude of craft in this irreverent and inspiring book of projects with a saucy, sarcastic bent.&rdquo;&mdash;Foreword Reviews&#160;&ldquo;This cute little number is lighthearted fare, for the beginner to intermediate [crafter], as long as you have a silly sense of humor&hellip;With a forward by one of my favorite&#160;Supernatural&#160;alums, Felicia Day, who explains strong feminism with whimsy way better than I ever could&hellip;&#160;Crafting With Feminism&#160;is a perfect book.&rdquo; &mdash;Geeks of Doom &#160; &ldquo;The purpose of this book is pretty clear: to empower women and girls to own who they are and be proud to express themselves through craft.&rdquo; &mdash;GeekMom &#160; &ldquo;If you have been looking for a crafting book that pokes fun at many of the typical feminist clich&eacute;s then look no further than&#160;Crafting with Feminism.&rdquo;&mdash;BioGamer Girl &#160; &ldquo;These projects are silly and funny and cool and will make your feminist soul reach for the sequins!&rdquo;&mdash;Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

Praise for Perfume River: 
 
Finalist for the 2017 Southern Book Prize 
Longlisted for the 2017 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction
One of the Millions’ Most Anticipated Books of the Year 
 
“Butler’s Faulknerian shuttling back and forth across the decades has less to do with literary pyrotechnics than with cutting to the chase. Perfume River hits its marks with a high-stakes intensity . . . Butler’s particulars on the two brothers’ marriages are comprehensively adroit . . . Butler’s prose is fluid, and his handling of his many time-shifts as lucid as it is urgent. His descriptive gifts don’t extend just to his characters’ traits or their Florida and New Orleans settings, but to the history he’s addressing . . . ‘You share a war in one way,’ Robert thinks. ‘You pass it on in another.’ Perfume River captures both the agony and subtlety of how that happens.”—New York Times Book Review 

“This novel confronts the long aftermath of the Vietnam War . . . Butler roves gracefully . . . across the perspectives of many characters, showing particular tenderness in his depiction of Robert’s wife, Darla, and her attempt to harmonize conflicting parts of her husband’s life.”—New Yorker (Briefly Noted)
 
“The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent From a Strange Mountain revisits the Vietnam War in this contemporary novel about a family still wrestling with the conflict . . . Butler shifts POV seamlessly among his believably complicated characters.”—Newsday  “No synopsis can convey the deceptive richness of Butler’s storytelling. The writing style, precise and beautiful, discloses more than the simple surface action of any one passage . . . Butler moves seamlessly between points of view, sometimes within the same paragraph . . . [A] deftly slip-sliding narrative . . . Butler greatly enlarges our sense of what the Vietnam War cost to a generation . . . [A] quietly bristling book . . . Perfume River tells a human story that sums up in an entire era of American life.”—Miami Herald  “The story builds its force with great care . . . Its power is that we want to keep reading. The entire journey is masterfully rendered, Butler lighting a path back into the cave, completely unafraid.”—Benjamin Busch, Washington Post  “The strength of this novel is its shifting point of view. Butler moves easily among his characters to create a composite portrait of a family that has been wrecked by choices made during the Vietnam War.”—San Francisco Chronicle  “A moving story of Vietnam’s aftershocks . . . Poignant . . . [An] insightful portrait of a family shaped and shaken by war . . . Perfume River focuses on fathers and sons, but it also gives us a moving portrait of long marriages . . . Butler describes in wry, elegant detail . . . all the little battles and victories on the home front.”—Tampa Bay Times  “In Perfume River, Butler continues in his sensitive, highly nuanced, roaming style to explore the repercussions the [Vietnam] war has had on its American veterans, their families and their relationships . . . Eloquent . . . Once again, Butler has written a meaningful novel for the Vietnam War generation. And for their children and grandchildren.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch  “As smart and eloquent as anything [Butler has] done before . . . This novel is rich in characterization, elegantly written and smart . . . Perfume River holds the reader tight as the action moves to its conclusion.”—Alabama Public Radio  “[A] thought-provoking new novel.”—Susan Larson, WWNO, “The Reading Life”  “[An] extraordinary novel . . . Butler’s elegant return to literary fiction proves his skill and grace once again.”—Daily Breeze (Fall’s Must-Read Books)  “This latest from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Butler astutely reveals the Vietnam War’s continuing impact on America through two families . . . By the end of this pristinely written novel, we come to see what war does to everyone. A complex story told with poignancy and an economy of means; highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred review)  “Robert Olen Butler . . . has written eloquent works about Vietnam and its effect on families. He returns to these themes in Perfume River, a heartbreaking story of fathers and sons and their expectations and disappointments . . . Perfume River is a powerful work that asks profound questions about betrayal and loyalty. There are marvelous descriptions throughout . . . A provocative novel.”—BookPage  “An exceptional novel.”—Advance Reading Copy  “The prolific author best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, returns to mine the fraught relationships of military fathers and sons in this searching portrait.”—Atlanta Journal Constitution (13 Fall Books That Will Change the Way You See the South)  “Butler’s most famous work, the Pulitzer Prize-winning story collection A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, explored the Vietnam War and its aftermath from the perspective of the Vietnamese. With Perfume River, Butler argues that the war continues to exact a psychic toll on American soldiers and destroyed families, as well . . . Butler’s prose moves seamlessly between 2015 and flashbacks, narrating personal histories in the present tense.”—Chapter 16 

“An elegant work of fiction . . . Butler has amazed me with his uncanny ability to bore deeply inside his characters’ hearts and minds and illuminate their deepest thoughts and emotions . . . Butler consistently offers up believable and insightful evocations of his characters’ innermost feelings. He is also adept at two of the novelist’s most difficult tasks: exposition and building a narrative to an unexpected ending . . . Butler handles this seamlessly . . . The ending is a surprise that’s only one of the many satisfying elements in this terrific novel.”—VVA Veteran
 
“A deeply meditative reflection on aging and love, as seen through the prism of one family quietly torn asunder by the lingering effects of the Vietnam War. Butler, returning to contemporary literary fiction after three outstanding historical thrillers, shows again that he is a master of tone, mood, and character, whatever genre he chooses to explore. This is thoughtful, introspective fiction of the highest caliber, but it carries a definite edge, thanks to an insistent backbeat that generates suspense with the subtlest of brushstrokes.”—Booklist (starred review)  “Butler’s assured, elegant novel explores a family fractured by the Vietnam War as its members face the losses of age . . . Eddying fluidly through its half-century span, the book speaks eloquently of the way the past bleeds into the present, history reverberates through individual lives, and mortality challenges our perceptions of ourselves and others.”—Publishers Weekly  “The climactic scene . . . is devastating and beautifully written. Many weighty themes . . . the shadow of Vietnam, the push and pull of father-son relationships, the pitfalls of long-term marriages, and the psychic toll of aging . . . Butler pulls it all together into a story that’s both complex and meaningful.”—Kirkus Reviews  “What I so like about Perfume River is its plainly-put elegance. Enough time has passed since Viet Nam that its grave human lessons and heartbreaks can be—with a measure of genius—almost simply stated. Butler’s novel is a model for this heartbreaking simplicity and grace.”—Richard Ford
