&#8220;John Graves&#8217;s writing is invaluable. . . . The reader who misses Graves will have missed much.&#8221;  --Larry McMurtry&#8220;As you read, you have the feeling that the whole colorful, brutal tapestry of the Lone Star State is being unrolled for you out of the biography of this one stream.&#8221; &#8212;The Atlantic Monthly&#8220;Graves&#8217; originality and flair turn this local scene and regional lore into an hoest and powerfully evocative picture of frontier life anywhere.&#8221; &#8212;The Chicago Sunday Tribune&#8220;One of the most pleasing books I&#8217;ve ever read. I love the way it weaves together remote history, not so remote history, present events, and landscape.&#8221;&#8212;Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs

Als Blanca Imboden mich bat, mit ihr als »Arosa-Neuling« über ein Arosa-Buch zu reden, hüpfte mein Herz vor Freude. Nie hätte ich zu träumen gewagt, dass dereinst ein Roman unter dem Titel »Arosa« geschrieben werden würde. Und dann erst noch von einer so renommierten Autorin. Und mehr noch: Selten habe ich einen Menschen erlebt, der sich in so kurzer Zeit in unser paradiesisches Arosa verliebt hat. Wie sehr Blanca Imboden ihr Herz an unsere schöne Bergwelt verloren hat, das spürt man in jedem Wort ihres neuen Werks. Blanca, ich danke Dir und mache Dich zur »Aroserin«.

&ldquo;The Silk Map is an exciting adventure set in a world as lovingly constructed as Frank Herbert&rsquo;s Dune or Lovecraft&rsquo;s ghoul-haunted nightmares. Legends from the Mongol and Islamic empires to ancient China hover just below the surface. Xanadu and Shambala appear with slightly different names. Heroes Gaunt and Bone careen from one misadventure to the next, with companions that include a second-rate flying carpet (with murderous tendencies) and a lovelorn zombie. Did I mention that the story is also funny?&#160;I loved it.&rdquo;&mdash;Nancy Farmer, winner of the National Book Award and three Newbery honors, author of The House of the Scorpion&ldquo;The perfect sort of sword and sorcery&mdash;elegant, swift, and as sharp as a blade. Willrich has the light touch of Leiber, the imaginative fecundity of Moorcock, and a wit all his own; thrilling and charming all at once, oh, and bloody good, too. This is sword and sorcery as it should be written. Chris understands the poetry of fantasy, and the wry sense of humor that sustains even the darkest of tales. Adventure lies ahead, and Chris is a sure and delightful guide.&rdquo; &mdash;Trent Jamieson, author of the Death Works trilogy"Gaunt and Bone are the Han and Leia of heroic fantasy." &mdash;Howard Tayler, creator of the Hugo Award-nominated Schlock Mercenary"A vivid, richly imagined world populated by delightfully memorable characters.... Witty narration, well-drawn characters, and a fast-moving plot." &mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;"Reading Chris Willrich feels a bit like playing Dungeons and Dragons&#174; with a drunken Will Shakespeare."&#160;&mdash;Saladin Ahmed, Hugo award-nominated author of Throne of the Crescent Moon"Persimmon Gaunt and Imago Bone are just as delightful when pondering poetry or philosophy as when stealing a magic sword."&#160;&#160;&mdash;Scott H.

Praise for Boot Tracks"Brilliantly chilling. A nightmare thriller with the power to haunt."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)&#160;"Jones is a rare stylist - readers looking for an intense, affecting experience shouldn't miss this one."&mdash;Peter Handel, Pages Magazine&#160;"An artful novel enlivened by some of the best low-life dialogue this side of Elmore Leonard." &mdash;Patrick Andersen, The Washington Post&#160;"Superlatives have been sapped of their meaning by overzealous critics, and somehow it sounds fake to say that a book is one of the "best things" you've "read all year." It's just that, sometimes {as in the case of Matthew F. Jones's "Boot Tracks"} that happens to be true. I haven't read something that made me empathize with a bad guy this intensely since I read "In Cold Blood" in high school."&mdash;Katie Haegele, The Philadelphia Inquirer&#160;"The sense of horrible inevitability is almost overpowering here. If only Jean-Pierre Melville (Bob le Flambeur) were still alive to make the movie version."&mdash;Bill Ott, Booklist&#160;"'Boot Tracks, by Matthew F. Jones, is a stunning crime novel - and one you won't soon forget." &mdash;Guy Savage, Mostly Fiction Book Reviews&#160;

Praise for I Hate Everyone&hellip;Starting with Me  &ldquo;More punch lines per paragraph than any book I&rsquo;ve read in years.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times  &ldquo;Nobody, but nobody, can hate like Joan Rivers. It is a gift. It is also shocking, the things she makes us laugh at...Joan Rivers is extraordinary, but she&rsquo;s not for the easily offended&mdash;or for anyone who gets offended at all.&rdquo;&mdash;People &ldquo;Often hilarious, often shocking, totally politically incorrect.&rdquo;&mdash;Liz Smith &ldquo;She holds nothing back.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post  &ldquo;Spares no one.&rdquo;&mdash;Huffington Post  &ldquo;An entertaining rant...The only thing missing is the sound of a drumroll and cymbals to feel as though one is sitting in a nightclub watching a live comedy marathon&hellip;A raucous, biting look at life.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews  &ldquo;Rivers is equally passionate and opinionated on every subject she discusses. Hilarious and undeniably original.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

"Ted Conover lived the bizarre life of the Mexican illegals. Theirs is a subterrestrial world of high-wire tensions, of brutal police, of sinister smugglers -- coyotes. A devastating document, this one must be read." -- Leon UrisThe acclaimed author of Rolling Nowhere has taken another adventure, this time on the underground railway that operates across America's southern border. To discover what becomes of Mexicans who desperately slip into the United States, Ted Conover disguised himself as an illegal alien, walked across deserts, hid in orange orchards, waded through the Rio Grande, and cut life-threatening deals with tough-guy traffickers in human sweat. This electrifying account is the harrowing vision of a way of life no outsider has ever seen before.

The countries of Latin America now have their Orwell."--David Remnick
