"Borges meets Saunders in Tenhoff's debut collection .... when humans and their contradictions take center stage, these stories soar and [Tenhoff's] insights deliver a visceral punch. Fantastic (and fantastical) work from a writer who appreciates that borders of all kinds are often just a fiction."&#160; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews"S. P. Tenhoff possesses the enviable talent of blending complex narratives with effortless honesty. Intricate, thrilling, utterly absorbing fiction." &mdash;R. M. Cooper, Sequestrum"The Involuntary Sojourner&#160;is a collection of the most empathic fiction. Tenhoff&rsquo;s stories span countries, societies, and stages of life, and in so doing, they give narrative and character to the slow, intricate entangling that we call living.&#160;Few authors could gather Japanese magicians, children of dystopic civilizations, callous daughters, and guilt-ridden American men into one short story collection, but Tenhoff&rsquo;s deftly woven work does so triumphantly.&#160;This collection is a tapestry of the human heart in all its complexity." &mdash;Lucie Shelly, Electric Literature"The Involuntary Sojourner&#160;imagines the borders society has imposed upon itself and the struggles to overcome them: a regional boundary literally dividing a woman&rsquo;s house in two, a man longing for interaction with the father of the child he accidentally killed, a lonely dentist drawn to a new immigrant in spite of social taboo and mammoth language and cultural barriers, a self-important and respected showman in search of a successor astonished to find artistic camaraderie in an indigent disabled street performer. Tenhoff&rsquo;s spare, elegant prose and authentic immersions into unique communities (magicians, a family puppetry dynasty) catapult the reader into extraordinary worlds while maintaining in tender expression the universal desire for human connection."&#160;&mdash;Kia Corthron, author of&#160;The Castle Cross the Magnet Carter"In ten short stories that stand out for their originality and range from empathetic portraits to satire, Tenhoff immerses the reader in a range of settings in Japan, the U.S., and elsewhere." &mdash;World Wide Work

Tim Burton: A Child's Garden of Nightmares

"Almost Complete Poems is Moss&rsquo;s latest and longest attempt to establish his gifts as a poet. They are real, and they reflect his life and talents &mdash; his quest for spiritual strength, his Jewish heritage, his eye on Europe and European art, and his 91 years.&#160;Moss tries to write a kind of poetry that his American juniors rarely attempt: the first-person record of wisdom, jocular or weighty, gained in a moment or a lifetime, unguarded, openhearted, profuse. To read him at length is to encounter stacks of memories, anecdotes and would-be proverbs..." &mdash;Stephen Burt, The New York Times Book Review"Magisterial &hellip;&#160;Almost Complete Poems&#160;is magnificent. I&rsquo;ve read it several times with greater and greater pleasure. Its verbal generosity and bravura, its humanity, the quality and quantity of information which it integrates into poetry of the highest order make it a continuing delight."&#160;&mdash;Marilyn Hacker&#160;"Open&#160;Almost Complete Poems&#160;anywhere, and you will come shockingly upon wisdom and beauty, a diversity of styles&mdash;a unity of voice, a voice that was there since the beginning. I love Stanley Moss's work. The pace, the strategy, the wit, the knowledge are astonishing. I want to add that of the generation that is gradually leaving us, those born in the mid and late 1920s, Bly, Levine, Kinnell, Rich, Kumen, O&rsquo;Hara, Cooper, Ferry, Ashbery, Merwin, Gilbert, Wright, myself, he has a prominent place. He loves donkeys. He owns Ted Roethke&rsquo;s raccoon coat. He is an original."&#160;&mdash;Gerald Stern"As a whole, Stanley Moss&rsquo;s &ldquo;Almost Complete Poems&rdquo; is magnificent. These poems are gorgeous examples of energy coupled with style. These poems also embody beauty in the service of wisdom. Moss delights us with his sensual and tender imagination. His erudition is astounding. Moss is a poet&rsquo;s poet, and this volume is as necessary as air to the contemporary poetry scene." &mdash;Sonja James, The Journal

&ldquo;Duras' language and writing shine like crystals.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;The New Yorker&ldquo;It is at once pure artifice, a literary mind in its death throes, and also the rawest thing she's ever written. For all her French sex-kitten affectations, Duras was a micromanager-author, and here she orchestrates even her own annihilation, a bonfire of self-loathing using lovers, past and present, as kindling.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;Los Angeles Times Book Review&ldquo;Marguerite Duras's voice, whenever we hear it, always goes straight for our hearts.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;Le Monde&ldquo;Here is laid bare, without doubt, one of the most beautiful secrets of the song of Duras &hellip; a song of shadows, drawn from the silent hours of days, and a kind of victory over them.&rdquo; &ndash;La Croix&ldquo;Simple, naked affirmation of her crazy love.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;Le Soir

Feeling at Home

"Sieracki effortlessly adapts his grandfather's letters into a narrative that feels both intimate and sweeping... Williams captures the desolation of the battlefields and the bloodcurdling violence of government-sanctioned killing. But through it all, the love story conquers the darkness so hauntingly illustrated."&#160;&mdash;&#160;School Library Journal"There&rsquo;s a horrible beauty in Williams' depiction of the war experience, like isolated segments from a Bosch painting transported to the war in Europe. What&#160;A Letter To Jo&#160;accomplishes is placing that personal experience of Leonard in a wider context, the war experience as well as the romance with Sieracki&rsquo;s grandmother. It is, truly, the American story of that era."&#160;&mdash;The Beat"It&rsquo;s both beautiful and terrifying, and not to be missed."&#160;&mdash;&#160;13th Dimension"A Letter to Jo&#160;serves as a touching tribute to those affected by war, and small glimpse for those who are lucky enough to never experience it... Kelly Williams uses incredibly detailed line work mixed with some of the best watercolors I&rsquo;ve ever seen in a comic."&#160;&mdash;&#160;AiPT

A Letter to Jo

Bakhtin and Genre Theory in Biblical Studies

"With straightforward, honest prose, Nettel paints a vivid portrait of a girl always just on the edge of community and illustrates the beauty and strength of a mind shaped by hardship. She perfectly captures the awkwardness and insecurities of growing up and the small, strange moments that change us forever."&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly"One of the fascinating qualities of this book is the unsparing testimony, somewhere between religious confession and secular disclosure, that gives a sharp sense of a woman&rsquo;s harrowing girlhood. Nettel&rsquo;s candid, unaffected prose hews closely to the strictures of the therapy session.&#160;In this, she runs the risk of turning her story into a &ldquo;case.&rdquo; ...&#160;Still, Nettel&rsquo;s strategy yields rich rewards. Concealing the adult narrator disturbs the distance between reader and author; the intimacy &shy;forces the reader into the girl&rsquo;s vulnerable body. This vivid image of the ardent girl as revealed by a faceless woman hints at the tangled snare of the past. An effort to shed an old self may simply make a person disappear.&#160;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review"Nettel's eye lightly deforms things and gives rise to a tension, subtle but persistent, that immerses us in an uncomfortable reality, disquieting, even disturbing&mdash;a gaze that illuminates her prose like an alien sun shining down on our world." &mdash;Valeria Luiselli, author of&#160;Sidewalks&#160;and&#160;Faces in the Crowd&#160;"The Body Where I Was Born&#160;infuses the reader with an intimate portrait of the astute and wondrous depth that children use to observe and makes sense of humanity. The language in the book is poetic yet accessible, and at certain points Nettel hits you with a sentence so brilliant and poignant that you have to read it another time in order to fully indulge the narrator&rsquo;s oral recollection of who she was. This book is fierce and from the gut. It is a testimony of a woman finding agency in her body because it is physical evidence that connects her to the planet and the rest of humanity."&#160;&mdash;World Literature Today"Here is an utterly compelling memoir about a specific body, which simultaneous conjures the fragility of that body, as well as the ever-shifting body of memory itself. Nettel has brilliantly found a form to contain the multitudes of what one body can hold." &mdash;Nick Flynn"It has been a long time since I've found in the literature of my generation a world as personal and untransferable as that of Guadalupe Nettel." &mdash;Juan Gabriel V&aacute;squez"The gaze [Nettel] turns on madnesses both temperate and destructive, on manias, on deviances, is so sharp that it has us seeing straight into our own obsessions." &mdash;Xavier Houssain, Le Monde"Guadalupe Nettel is one of the most interesting voices of the new Mexican fiction." &mdash;J. A. Masoliver R&oacute;denas, La Vanguardia"Guadalupe Nettel reveals the subliminal beauty within beings of odd behavior and painstakingly examines the intimacies of her soul." &mdash;Magazine Litt&eacute;raire

The Body Where I Was Born

&ldquo;Offers an almost microscopic look at a group of people suffering from the virus as well as those around them &hellip;&#160;Talk Softly&#160;is and will remain a captivating story of both forfeiture and triumph.&rdquo; &ndash;Micah McCary, Bookslut &ldquo;Talk Softly&#160;is the story of how compassion can take over a life &hellip; One cannot read this book without wanting, in the most gentle way, to do better, live better, and be better. Her story has stayed very much with me, a fine spirit to have around.&rdquo; &ndash;Susan Minot &ldquo;Talk Softly&#160;is a beautifully written memoir of a 'noisy life,' intricately structured, heartbreaking as well as joyous, and tense as a thriller. With its wide cast of characters&mdash;from cultural icons to the even more wondrous portraits of Archie and Brazilian John and Pamela and many others (people seldom, if ever, written about)&mdash;it is a deeply moving portrait of our time. I keep thinking that this is what civilization means.&rdquo; &ndash;Michael Ondaatje &ldquo;Cynthia O'Neal has written an amazing memoir. On one level it's about her bittersweet marriage to the charismatic actor Patrick O'Neal. On another its how beautiful, gallant Cynthia went from being an enabler to a truly exceptional healer at Friends In Deed, the AIDS crisis center in New York &hellip; This is a book about kindness, compassion and patience. As Cynthia says, 'Were all here just doing the best we can with the predicament that is life.'&rdquo; &ndash;Patricia Bosworth &ldquo;This utterly winning book seems to sweep up the most devastating years of the AIDS epidemic and simply hold them, as if Cynthia O'Neals embrace is so capacious that she can somehow contain the suffering of every man and woman during those murderous times, the terrible erasures and also the unforgettable instances of courage and tenderness and loyalty. Nothing has escaped her gaze, and nothing seems outside her enormous, indelible compassion.&rdquo; &ndash;Mark Doty

A Memoir

Talk Softly

Dead Men Don't Lye (The Soapmaking Mysteries, #1)

"exciting, relatable, and heartwarming, from its tragic start to its very happy ending. . . . There is a lot packed into this story of friendship, loss, and family relationships, but it all gels into one bittersweet, uplifting tale of a young girl who finds strength that she didn&rsquo;t know she had."&#160;&mdash;School Library Journal "The subjects are heavy, but Army&rsquo;s young voice infuses them with humor and warmth, even when her path forward seems uncertain. 'Just go with it and make things happen before you totally understand how to do all of it,' Army suggests, a hard-won lesson that young readers will take to heart."&#160;&mdash;Booklist  "this is fundamentally the story of small moments of growth and insight. Army&rsquo;s first-person narration feels particularly authentic as she navigates her intense feelings"&mdash;The Horn Book "In short chapters told from Army&rsquo;s earnest first-person perspective, she finds new ways to negotiate with her caring but emotionally reserved parents and steps out of her own comfort zone; this exploration of family dynamics is where the novel shines."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews "With moments of humor, Vernick (Two Naomis) weaves together a well-paced story that explores grief in all its raw pain, as well as the power of friends, family, and community to help heal."&mdash;Publishers Weekly"Army&rsquo;s connection with Madison and her family illuminates Army&rsquo;s character, her kindness and conscientiousness shining through even when she&rsquo;s subdued by grief. The premise makes for an arresting booktalk, and readers who come for the drama will stay for Army&rsquo;s recovery."&mdash;Bulletin of the Center for Children&rsquo;s Books
