Poet, critic, impresario, gadfly, visionary, tastemaker: more than anyone, Guillaume Apollinaire embodies the frenzied art world of Paris in the early 20th century. His rampant enthusiasms and antipathies, and his remarkable acumen, make him still today the most evocative commentator on the intellectual ferment of the time. In 1905 he championed Picasso and in 1907 he promoted Braque in reviews that were amazingly sharp and prescient. He first identified the importance of Delaunay, Duchamp, and Rousseau, coined the word "Surrealism," and almost singlehandedly pushed Cubism into the mainstream. With a new preface by Roger Shattuck, this edition of Apollinaire on Art is the only collection in English of these seminal and ever fresh writings.

Professor Sam Woodstock has just retired from teaching at Lincoln High after the traumatic death of his wife. In an attempt to overcome the loss, he gets involved in the political campaign of his son, Ott--and soon realizes that he may have gotten more than he bargained for. Finding himself thrust into a group of fanatical idealists, each with their own agenda, Sam discovers that these “cyber-rebel vanguards” have figured out how to fix the outcome of the elections. By secretly tampering with voting machines, ballots, and e-votes and surreptitiously tinkering with computer hard drives, the group will virtually stop at nothing to ensure that Ott gets elected for the benefit of American society. Torn between wanting his son to win the elections and this twenty-first-century threat to democracy, Sam comes to an intriguing but frightening personal understanding: Ballot tampering may be the best way to change an endangered America. Fraud pays--but does it pay enough?

Tobe and the River Is: A Strange and Most Peculiar Tale

Tobe’s world was turned upside down by the experience of the light that hovered over him that day as he slept in the meadow. Now, with the flames of his burning house licking at the night sky, he turned east on the path into the darkness of the unknown and in the direction of a place he had not even heard of a few days before, a place called “Inlakesh.” He was giving up his world as he knew it…for a mystery. But he was determined to go, to find the living River Is and The Great Fish, and to see them with his own eyes! As Tobe walked, little did he suspect that “it was no natural world through which he was traveling now. Each step was taking him deeper into the mind, and where the real world ended and his mind began he could no longer tell apart.” And the challenges of mischievous dark holes and the encounter with the Bubble People still lay ahead, and beyond that, the lure of the carnival, “Phantasmagoria.” Is it even possible he could make it to Inlakesh—a land that exists in another dimension when this world holds such a firm grasp upon him? And what would he be like if he were ever to return to Sonadora, his village that stood on the edge of the world?
