Sonja's Blue
Rudy Wilson
Price: $14.95
ISBN: 978-09822115-5-7
Order Both The Red Truck and Sonja's Blue and Save!
Price: $26.00
A collection of shorter works by cult favorite Rudy Wilson, author of The Red Truck. The collection includes a prize-winning short story that appeared in The Paris Review as well as other short works and stand-alone sections of two other novels. Published alongside his reprinted first novel, The Red Truck, these books are interesting evidence in the controversy over the influence of former Knopf editor Gordon Lish (who edited The Red Truck but not the short stories.) Lish edited Wilson as he edited Raymond Carver, with dazzling results that may be compared between the edited The Red Truck and the author's original and unedited writing in Sonja's Blue.

Tarantella
Rebecca Loudon
Price: $15.00
ISBN: 978-0-9723329-8-9
Tarantella, the edgy debut collection from Rebecca Loudon, depicts vividly the dance between pain and joy in the vocabularies of music and medicine. The fierce language of Loudon’s narrators belies deep vulnerability and a fear of the body, but an even stronger, somehow curative passion for the pleasures life offers. |

Thine is the Kingdom
Garth Buckner
Price: $14.95
ISBN: 978-0-9791921-7-3
A Bahamian novel of adventure and conflict that explores the nature of class and identity in the post-colonial world through a narrative rich in imagery and told in confident, graceful prose that reveals the inner lives of the characters and implicates us all in one man's struggle to do the right thing.
"Thine is the Kingdom offers a window into the violent, sensual, little-seen world of Bahamian society, while at the same time raising universal questions about the ways we define ourselves (by class, by race, by values) and the compromises we're willing to make. Garth Buckner has written a suspenseful, moving and philosophically astute novel."
— Dawn Raffel, author of "Carrying The Body" |

Trio
Norman Lock
Price: $14.98
ISBN: 978-0-9766593-0-3
Norman Lock's "Trio" combines his acclaimed Joseph Cornell's Operas and Émigrés with Grim Tales, his riff on the Brothers Grimm. These masterful works of the imagination demonstrate Lock's innate ability to transform the fanciful into the tactile. He makes new things in exquisite words.
A sample from Émigrés: "A very old émigré, who was each day growing more forgetful, woke up in the dead of night, put on his best suit and tie, shined his shoes, put on his best hat (a rakish borsalino), and went to find the dancehall where—fifty years before, in the distant country of his youth—he had danced the tango, magnificently, with a girl whose silk dress he could still feel against his palms."
From Joseph Cornells' Operas: "…Liszt died young and Mad Ludwig drowned himself in the Starnberger and Lola Montes became a circus exhibit, but ah! the impresario answered, they flew, you know, until the end they all of them defied gravity such was the strength of their desire—who, we wondered, who then is Hubble peering at through his telescope, Lola Montes having long ago died? from his opera box Joseph Cornell said: her remnant of light still desiring."
