Fiction. "With all the innovation of the best surrealism, and the memorable, conflicted characters of gritty realism, THE LONGEST PREGNANCY is that rare book that defies categorization and genre, and instead takes the reader on a journey full of beautiful surprises. Melissa Fraterrigo is a compelling, fresh new voice who can, in the same instant, blow your mind and break your heart. A truly unique collection"--Gina Frangello.

Fiction. Winner of the Second Annual Tartts First Fiction Award. These stories explore the darker side of human nature, moving from broken gamblers on the run to small time hold-up artists and disconsolate lovers. The settings are varied: Atlantic City, Key West, upstate New York, and--for many of the stories--the parks, playgrounds and streets of the Bronx. Place, like loss, is also a transformative force. It lives inside Cioffari's characters, shapes desire and the actions that derive from desire.

Tartts Three: Incisive Fiction from Emerging Writers

Fiction. In Veena Damle's premier novel, I AM OM, one sees a blend of East and West, realism and fairy tale. "The vehicle she has chosen is the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata...As young Manju's grandfather, Azoba, relates the never-ending struggle of Mahabharat, a similar struggle is developing in the Sathe household as Manju's mother years for fame and the attention of a prominent surgeon. Manju's father, aware of the entanglement his wife is creating, wrestles with understanding his dharma, while Azoba strives for his final release into samadhi. Manju herself proves to be an admirable combatant in these struggles, worthy of her hero, the Archer Prince."

Opposable Thumbs

Fiction. In this premier collection of stories, OPPOSABLE THUMBS, Suzanne Hudson reignites literary interest in her work that has laid dormant for years since she turned her back to the literary world after winning the Hackney Literary Awards competition as well as being published in Penthouse magazine and New Writers magazine. In this collection of shorts, "integrations, incest, white trash, and God...it's all here, in a bitter-sweet meringue. Suzanne Hudson's hilarious and moving stories tackle some of the South's major themes without flinching"-Tom Franklin. "Hudson writes like a fallen angel. Her characters may have one foot in heaven, and the other in hell, but she touches them with an ironic humor and a fiery grace"--William Gay.

Hudson, Suzanne

Fiction. In this new compilation of previously published stories Kat Meads, the award-wining author, reveals the secret selves of the ordinary person. In these seductive and witty short stories, Meads startles with her ability to pull us into the lives of her seemingly ordinary characters. "With mordant wit, a gemcutter's nerve, and an open heart, Kat Meads catches her characters as their composure slips and the truth, in all its fun and fury, comes out. Like the salt slap of an unexpected wave, her stories leave you startled, alert, exhilarated, newly conscious that you're alive"-Lynne Barrett.

Not Waving

Meads, Kat

Fiction. Martin J. Gidron's novel THE SEVERED WING imagines a world in which Teddy Roosevelt is elected to a third term and leads America into World War I much sooner. A world in which the terms of the Versailles Treaty propose a gentler reconciliation between Allied and Central powers. A world in which neither World War II nor the Holocaust ever occur. It's into this world that Gidron places Janusz, who's fled Poland to evade a military draft, and his lover Irena, daughter of a famous composer. When Irena travels to Greece for her father's funeral, things start going wrong for Janusz: people and places-all of them having a Jewish connection-begin disappearing without a trace. Then the Jewish daily newspaper where Janusz works switches inexplicably from Yiddish to English. The discovery that Janusz makes by the novel's end is as harrowing in its particularity as it is in its universality.

The Severed Wing

Gidron, Martin

A legendary Cuban general, Arnaldo Ochoa Sanchez, is tried as a traitor to the Revolution. He meets his death before the firing squad. Who will get to write the history of his rise and fall? Can anyone objectively record the story of the great, yet controversial Ochoa? Who controls destiny? Who decides whose point of view is to be accepted as the truth? Who writes the history books? It sometimes depends on who is speaking. In Lee Williams' Author of Destiny, we encounter a myriad of points of view concerning the late general, told from nearly every conceivable angle by would-be shapers of history who each have their own agendas. There's Rool, mastermind of Ochoa's demise, trying to justify himself. There's Dell, a self-tormented ghostwriter trying to free herself from herself. There's Viviana, a young exotic dancer trying to free her former Soviet general father from prison. There's Zorn, a down-and-out artist trying to draw inspiration from the story of the mighty Ochoa. So many voices swirl together, clashing in contradiction, until the truth becomes secondary to those who deign to speak it. Destiny, it seems, is a two-way street.
