AK PressArab Spring, Libyan WinterVijay PrashadThe Arab Spring captivated the planet. Mass action overthrew Tunisia’s BenAli and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak. The revolutionary wave spread to the far cornersof the Arab world, from Morocco to Bahrain. It seemed as if all the authoritarianstates would finally be freed, even those of the Arabian Peninsula.People’s power had produced this wave, and continued to ride it out.In Libya, though, the new world order had different ideas. Social forcesopposed to Muammar Qaddafi had begun to rebel, but they were weak. Incame the French and the United States, with promises of glory. A deal followedwith the Saudis, who then sent in their own forces to cut down the Bahrainirevolution, and NATO began its assault, ushering in a Libyan Winter that castits shadow over the Arab Spring.This brief, timely analysis situates the assault on Libya in the context of thewinds of revolt that swept through the Middle East in the Spring of 2011. VijayPrashad explores the recent history of the Qaddafi regime, the social forceswho opposed him, and the role of the United Nations, NATO, and the rest ofthe world’s superpowers in the bloody civil war that ensued.Vijay Prashad is the George and Martha Kellner Chair of South AsianHistory, and professor and director of international studies at Trinity Collegein Hartford, Connecticut. He is the author or editor of over a dozen <strong>book</strong>s,including Karma of Brown Folk and, most recently, The Darker Nations: A People’s Historyof the Third World.The world watched as the bud of the Arab Spring was buriedunder the cold darkness of the Libyan Winter.POLITICAL SCIENCE / SOCIAL SCIENCEAprilA Paperback Original4½ x 7¼ | 168 ppB&W photographsTrade Paper US $14.95 | CAN $16.50978-1-84935-112-6 USCeBook ISBN: 978-1-84935-113-3 USCMarketing PlansCo-op available• National TV and radio campaign• National print campaign• Outreach to foreign policy websites and printpublications• Multi-city East Coast tourAuthor Hometown: Cambridge, MA5

As the city struggles to dig itself out of the wreckage,a nameless, obsessive-compulsive veteran with a spotty memory, a love for literature,and a strong if unique moral code has taken up residence at the MainBranch of the New York Public Library. Dubbed “Dewey Decimal” for his desireto reorganize the library’s stock, he gets by as bagman and muscle for unscrupulouspoliticians and underworld figures—as detailed in the first <strong>book</strong> inthis series, The Dewey Decimal System.In The Nervous System, Decimal, attempting to clean up loose ends after theviolent events in the first <strong>book</strong>, stumbles upon information concerning thegruesome murder of a prostitute and a prominent US senator’s involvement.Immediately he finds himself chasing ghosts and fighting for his life, pursuedby Blackwater-style private military contractors and the ever-present specterof his own past. Decimal confronts a twilight world of Korean hostess bars,childhood bogeymen, and the face of the military-industrial complex gonehaywire—all framed by a city descending toward total chaos.Nathan Larson is best known as an award-winning film music composer,having created the scores for over thirty movies such as Boys Don’t Cry, Dirty PrettyThings, and The Messenger.

BOA Editions, Ltd.The Innocent PartyAimee Parkison“Aimee Parkison most often begins softly, slowly stripping away each layer ofsocial interaction to get at what is numinous and frightening and necessaryabout living in the real world. These are stories both about the difficulty andthe intense suddenness of human connection, about the profound link thatexists between being in love and being alone.”—Brian EvensonFrom “The Glass Girl”:On certain evenings in dark motels, she could transform her lip into the edge of the bottle, imaginingher face was made of amber glass and the men paused above her only to take a drink of breath. Overthe years, men drank and drank until there were only two sips left inside. They began sucking the airout of the glass that grew warm in the wrong places because of heat radiating off their hands. Themen’s breath along with white feathers fell over autumn winds drifting through open windows.In this collection, Kurt Vonnegut Fiction Prize–winner Aimee Parkison’s charactersstruggle to understand what happens when the innocent party becomesthe guilty party. With magical realist flair, secrets are aired with dirty laundry,but the stains never come clean. Carol Anshaw writes, “Aimee Parkisonoffers a distinct new voice to contemporary fiction. Her seductive stories explorechildhood as a realm of sorrows, and reveal the afflictions of adults whoemerge from this private geography.”Aimee Parkison has an MFA from Cornell University. She is associate professorof English at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where sheteaches creative writing.A second collection mixing literary fiction with gritty realities:there is nothing left to lose once the innocence is gone.FICTION / SHORT STORIESMayA Paperback OriginalAmerican Readers Series5½ x 8 | 200 ppTrade Paper US $14.00 | CAN $15.50978-1-934414-86-6 USCMarketing PlansAdvance reader copies• National print and online campaign• Social media campaignAuthor EventsBuffalo, NY • Charlotte, NCAuthor Hometown: Charlotte, NC59

Cinco Puntos PressEverything Begins and Ends atthe Kentucky ClubBenjamin Alire SáenzBenjamin Alire Sáenz’s stories reveal how all borders—real, imagined, sexual,human, the line between dark and light, addict and straight—entangle thosewho live on either side. Take, for instance, the Kentucky Club on AvenidaJuárez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. It’s a touchstone for each of Sáenz’sstories. His characters walk by, they might go in for a drink or to score, or theymight just stay there for a while and let their story be told. Sáenz knows thatthe Kentucky Club, like special watering holes in all cities, is the contrary toborders. It welcomes Spanish and English, Mexicans and gringos, poor andrich, gay and straight, drug addicts and drunks, laughter and sadness, andeven despair. It’s a place of rich history and good drinks and cold beer and along polished mahogany bar. Some days it smells like piss. “I’m going home tothe other side.” That’s a strange statement, but you hear it all the time at theKentucky Club.Benjamin Alire Sáenz is a highly regarded writer of fiction, poetry, and children’sliterature. Like these stories, his writing crosses borders and lands inour collective psyche. Poets & Writers Magazine named him one of the fifty most inspiringwriters in the world. He’s been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times BookPrize and PEN Center’s prestigious award for young adult fiction.

City Lights PublishersI Must ResistBayard Rustin’s Life in LettersBayard RustinEdited with an introduction by Michael G. LongBayard Rustin has been called the “lost prophet” of the civil rights movement.A master strategist and tireless activist, he is best remembered as the organizerof the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protestsever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi’s protest techniquesto the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role inthe life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an internationalsymbol of nonviolence.Despite these achievements, Rustin often remained in the background. Asa gay man convicted of a “morals charge,” and as a socialist with a backgroundin the Communist Party, he was well aware of the possibility that opponentswould use him as fodder in their denunciations of the movement. He was silenced,threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and fired from importantleadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercelyhomophobic era.Here we have Rustin in his own words, a collection of over 150 of hisletters, some of them breathtakingly personal, remarkable for the insightsthey offer. His correspondents include the major progressives of his day aswell as family and friends, and each letter is prefaced by a short, informativeintroduction.Bayard Rustin stands at the confluence of the great struggles for civil, legal,and human rights. In a nation still torn by racial hatred and violence, bigotryagainst homosexuals, and extraordinary divides between rich and poor, hiselo quent voice is still essential today.HISTORY / LETTERSAprilA Paperback Original6 x 8½ | 276 pp15 B&W photographsTrade Paper US $17.95 | CAN $19.95978-0-87286-578-5 W*Bayard Rustin’s life story told in his own words through his intimatecorrespondence, published on the centennial of his birth.Marketing Plans10,000-copy print runCo-op availableAdvance reader copies• National advertising: DailyKos.com• National TV and radio campaign• National print and online campaign• Social media campaignAuthor EventsWashington, DC • Baltimore, MD •New York, NY • Harrisburg, PA • Philadelphia, PAEditor Hometown: Camp Hill, PA77

DialogueThe BesiegedA Story of SurvivalCaroline WaltonOn June 22, 1941, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and German troops advancedtowards Leningrad, Russia’s second city with a population of threemillion. On June 27 the people of Leningrad began constructing fortificationsaround the city and steeled themselves for a defensive struggle whichwas to continue until January 1944. So fervent was the people’s resistance thatGerman forces, frustrated by their inability to take the stronghold, encircledthe city in a nine hundred-day-long siege, beginning on September 8, 1941,during which around five hundred thousand troops and up to a million civiliansdied.Published to mark the seventieth anniversary of the beginning of the siegeof Leningrad on September 8, 1941, The Besieged takes us inside the fortificationsand into the homes and lives of those trapped in Leningrad. The historyof the siege is recounted here by survivors who, in the <strong>summer</strong> of 1999, disclosedtheir memories of that time to writer Caroline Walton. Their storiesdescribe humanity at its utter limit—encompassing desperation, fear, grief,famine, murder, and even cannibalism. But these are also stories of courage,camaraderie, fortitude, music, passion, and pride, and of an elusive, notquite describable but ineffably human quality that allows hungry people tosurvive the worst that human experience can yield. Harrowing, yet uplifting,The Besieged is history in the broadest and best sense.Caroline Walton is the author of Ivan Petrov—Russia through a Shot Glass, LittleTenement on the Volga, and The Voice of Leningrad, which won the New LondonWriters’ Award.

Inspired by that possibility, he sells his possessions,abandons his old life, and starts living entirely without commitments as amodern-day nomad.Thanks to Paul’s ability to talk his way into increasingly ridiculous situations,what begins as a one-year experiment soon becomes a permanentlifestyle—a life lived in luxury hotels and mountain-top villas.

Of 6,000-mile bootycalls, of partying with eight hundred female hairdressers dressed only in bedsheets,and of nearly dying at the hands of Spanish drug dealers.

With hisbehavior spiraling to dangerous—and sometimes criminal—levels, he is forcedto ask the question: is there such a thing as too much freedom?Paul Carr is a writer, columnist, and professional failure.

Enigma BooksMy FaultHow Mussolini’s Jewish Lover Helped Create Fascism—Then Escaped to Save Her Own LifeMargherita SarfattiEdited by Brian SullivanMargherita Sarfatti first met Benito Mussolini in 1911 at the socialist dailyAvanti! In what became a turbulent love affair she emerged as an importantwriter, art critic, and major adviser to the founder of the Fascist party. Eventhough she converted to Catholicism, she was cast aside once Hitler came topower and fled to South America in 1938.During her long exile where she constantly feared for her children who hadremained in Italy and were in danger during the war, Sarfatti decided to tellthe story of her relationship with Mussolini and the role she played in manyimportant Fascist artistic, cultural, and ideological issues until 1934. Most ofItaly’s modern architecture and many of its painters owe Sarfatti both theirsuccess and lasting legacy.At first she wrote her memoir in English under the title My Fault. But in1945 a daily newspaper in Buenos Aires, Critica, published a Spanish versionin fourteen installments. In the full text Sarfatti bares all about her stormy relationshipwith the intensely womanizing dictator whom she knew was quiteincapable of any kind of monogamous relationship. Yet the attraction remainedlong irresistible and that passion jumps off these pages with unrelentingstrength.Brian Sullivan is America’s foremost authority on Fascist Italy. After earninga PhD at Columbia he taught at Yale University and at the War College.With the late Phil Cannistraro he is the co-author of Il Duce’s Other Woman(William Morrow, 1993) a major biography of Margherita Sarfatti.

Exterminating Angel PressA Galaxy of Immortal WomenThe Yin Side of Chinese CivilizationBrian GriffithHoward Zinn meets Joseph Campbell and Gloria Steinem in a <strong>book</strong> writtenfor the omnivorous reader—anyone curious about China, world mythology,and women’s history. Touching on the whole story of China—from Neolithicvillages to a globalized Shanghai—this <strong>book</strong> ties mythology, archaeology, history,religion, folklore, literature, and journalism into one great, evolvingstory of how Chinese women—and the goddess tradition—fostered a counterculturethat flourishes and grows stronger every day.As Brian Griffith charts the stories of China’s founding mothers, shamanesses,goddesses, and ordinary heroines, he also explores the largely untoldstory of women’s contributions to cultural life in the world’s biggest society.He presents their history as one of action, not, as it is so often, cheerleadingfor the powerful. “These aren’t just stories,” he says. “These are expressionsof what have been a people’s hopes, and a sign of what can be a future world.”Impeccably researched, Griffith’s enlightening, conversational historyreveals the female-oriented world view that evolved within Daoism,Confucianism, Buddhism, and Chinese folk religion, and how that venerablecounterculture is reshaping modern ideas about nature, power, equality,community, health, and spirituality.Brian Griffith grew up in Texas, studied history at the University of Alberta,and now lives just outside of Toronto, Ontario. He is an independent historianwho views historical research as a means to understanding how culturalhistory influences our lives and can point toward contemporary solutions forthe world’s biggest problems.HISTORY / MYTHOLOGYMayA Paperback Original5½ x 7½ | 272 ppTrade Paper US $14.95 | CAN $16.50978-1-935259-14-5 USCeBook ISBN: 978-1-935259-15-2 USCThe goddess tradition remakes China and the world.Marketing PlansCo-op availableAdvance reader copiesAlso Available• National print and radio campaign• Giveaways through Goodreads and LibraryThing• Book trailer• Promotion through:http://briangriffith.multiply.com/journalAuthor Hometown: Toronto, ONCorrecting Jesus2000 Years of Changing the StoryBrian GriffithSOCIAL SCIENCE / RELIGION5½ x 7½ | 336 ppTrade Paper US $16.95 | CAN $16.95978-1-935259-02-2 USCeBook ISBN: 978-1-935259-05-3 USC139

Viral also refers to indiscriminateexchanges, often linked with notions of bodily contamination,uncontainability, and unwelcome transgression of border and boundaries. Inthis issue of WSQ, the editors invite a rethinking of institutions of education,family, religion, health, military, media, and law to inaugurate an inventivecultural criticism on topics ranging from social media, hacking, clouding, andfinancial markets to pollution, genetics, and robotics.Viral will also include interdisciplinary artists’ projects, each exploring thetechnological, political, and biological registers of viral culture. These includea meditation on the US military’s use of PowerPoint slides and an experimentinvolving the artist’s own hepatitis C-infected blood and plant life.

Feral HouseFuture Primitive RevisitedEnlarged EditionJohn ZerzanIntroduction by Michael Becker“Zerzan’s writing is sharp, uncompromising, and tenacious.”—Derrick Jensen“John Zerzan’s importance does not only consist in his brilliant intelligence,his absolute clearness of analysis and his unequalled dialectical synthesis thatclarifies even the most complicated questions, but also in the humanity thatfills his thoughts of resistance. Future Primitive Revisited is one more precious giftfor us all.”—Enrico Manicardi, author of Liberi dalla Civiltá (Free from Civilization)“Anyone who travels with his eyes open understands the sense of much ofwhat you have written, and the longer I live the greater my contempt for theopportunists who run governments and dictate our lives with technology.”—Paul Theroux“Of course we should go primitive. This doesn’t mean abandoning materialneeds, tools, or skills, but ending our obsession with such concerns.Declaring for community, our true origin: personal autonomy, trust, mutualsupport in pursuit of all the joys and troubles of life. Society was a trap—massive, demanding, impersonal and debilitating from day one. So hurry backto the community, friends, and welcome all the consequences of such an orientation.The reasons for fear and despair will only multiply if we remain inthis brutal and dangerous state of civilization.”—Blok 45 publishing, BelgradeAs our society is stricken with repeated technological disasters, and the apocalypticproblems that go with them, the “neo-primitivist” essays of John Zerzanseem more relevant than ever.“Future Primitive,” the core innovative essay of Future Primitive Revisited, hasbeen out of print for years. This new edition is updated with never-beforeprintedessays that speak to a youthful political movement and influentialwriters such as Derrick Jensen and Paul Theroux.An active participant in the contemporary anarchist resurgence, John Zerzanhas been an invited speaker at both radical and conventional events on severalcontinents. His weekly Anarchy Radio broadcast streams live on KWVA radioin Eugene, OR.

Feral HousePure FilthJamie Gillis and Peter SotosJamie Gillis appeared in over one hundred films, and as such was a primaryperformer in pornography’s “Golden Age.” Gillis is also known for inventingthe “Gonzo” genre of pornography, played out in the film Boogie Nights by BurtReynolds’ character.Pure Filth appears as transcripts from the films Jamie produced during theseearly years of radical and highly personal pornography. Completed just beforehis death in February 2010, Gillis contributed an introduction to each transcriptto shed light on his ideas and plans, as well as anecdotal details and personalcommentary. The <strong>book</strong> has more to do with an artist’s understandingof sex than the mere views of a flesh peddler. The careful language and brutalintelligence that Jamie brought to interviews are what separates the conversationsfrom any other work that might have more academic or prurientpretensions.Extreme novelist Peter Sotos, perhaps better known and appreciated inFrance and the United Kingdom than his home country, was a good friend ofJamie Gillis, and Sotos’ unusual perspective makes this volume possible.PERFORMING ARTSJuly6 x 9 | 340 ppPaper over Board SP US $69.95 | CAN $76.95978-1-936239-31-3 USCJamie Gillis, portrayed in Boogie Nights by Burt Reynolds,created “reality porn.” These are transcripts of his films.Marketing Plans• National print and online campaignAuthor EventsLos Angeles, CA • San Francisco, CA •Chicago, IL • New York, NY • Portland, OR •Olympia, WA • Seattle, WAAuthor Hometown: Chicago, IL152

Though the court system lies atthe heart of American democracy, it often does not meet the legitimate needsof the people, resulting in a rift between citizens and their own legal system.With a system that hasn’t seen major reform since 1938, it’s inevitable thatthere are shortcomings and misunderstandings. The situation is precarious,but not hopeless. In Rebuilding Justice, Rebecca Love Kourlis and Dirk Olin illuminatewhy the courts are critical and how they are being eroded, defaced, andundermined. While covering complex issues such as civil justice reform, judicialselection and performance evaluation, and domestic relations, Kourlisand Olin propose practical solutions to improve the efficiency, accessibility,and integrity of America’s civil courts. An important portrait of the Americanjudicial system, Rebuilding Justice is a call to action for citizens and civil servantsalike to take the steps necessary to fix, support, and protect this crucial cornerstoneof our democracy.Rebecca Love Kourlis is the founder and executive director of the Institutefor the Advancement of the American Legal System, a former justice of theColorado Supreme Court, a former District Court Judge, and a former trialjudge. She holds undergraduate and law degrees from Stanford University.Dirk Olin is a legal affairs journalist who currently serves as editor and publisherof Corporate Responsibility Magazine.

GLAS New Russian WritingWhat the Emperor Cannot DoTales and Legends of the OrientVlas DoroshevichTranslated by Rowen Glie and Ronald Landau with John DeweyStyled as Oriental tales, these parables are unexpected, exciting, colorful, andtremendously readable. Vlas Doroshevich could not stand tyranny in any formand in his tales he availed himself of complete freedom to mock, to despise,and to accuse the authorities for their wickedness, hypocrisy, and stupidity.These tales could be written by and for rebellious “anti-establishment” youthof today. Doroshevich’s works were often banned during the tsarist timesand then finally banned completely under the Bolsheviks. This great Russianwriter, who was a friend of Anton Chekhov, is only now being resurrectedfrom oblivion. This is the first English translation of his tales.Vlas Doroshevich (1864–1922) was widely known as the “king of journalism”in his time. He was also a novelist, drama critic, and short story writer.Marketing PlansAdvance reader copiesNational print and online campaign • Social media campaignFICTIONJuneA Paperback OriginalNew Russian Writing5 x 8 | 250 ppTrade Paper US $15.00 | CAN $16.50978-5-7172-0094-3 USCA rediscovery of a brilliant writer fromthe early twentieth century banned underSoviets.

New Society PublishersThe Interfaith AlternativeEmbracing Spiritual DiversitySteven GreenebaumWhatever your spiritual path, chances are that the primary tenets of your faithinclude universal love, acceptance, and compassion. Yet three thousand yearsafter Moses, twenty-five hundred years after the Buddha, two thousand yearsafter Jesus, and fifteen hundred years after Muhammad, we are still divided byour differences. Religious intolerance, discrimination, even persecution andviolence make up the not-so-golden rule.The Interfaith Alternative shows us how we can celebrate each other without fearof losing our own identity. It illuminates the path to creating a nurturingspiritual community that honors and includes all religious languages—an alternativeto Jews worshiping only with Jews, Christians with Christians, andMuslims with Muslims. In doing so, it demonstrates that through comingtogether in a mutually supportive environment we can concentrate on ourshared desire to remake the world into a compassionate, loving place.At its core, Interfaith is about community and justice. Once we truly embracediversity, we embrace our common humanity. A powerful antidote tothe current climate of fear and mistrust, The Interfaith Alternative argues that it isnot how we encounter the sacred, but what we do about it that counts—there arepositive alternatives to religious lines in the sand.Steven Greenebaum is an Interfaith minister whose experiences directingchoirs of different faiths and denominations have helped him to understandthe profound wisdom of many spiritual traditions.

One of the rarest in the German language, Q is only given a fleetingposition in the Brockhaus Lexicon (an equivalent to our Encyclopaedia Britannica),a mere forty-five pages of Q words, falling somewhere in the middle of a volumeentitled PES–RAC, in spite of granting an individual volume to everyother letter in the alphabet. Feeling that the letter was given undue negligence,Katja took it upon herself to create the missing “Q” volume of the lexicon andthus Quodlibet was born. Translated from the German, this edition containsseveral new Q letter entries to replace those from the original text that didn’thave direct English language equivalents. Quodlibet covers everything from famousGrindhouse movie directors, to obscure eighteenth century dances, tonature’s marvels and ancient Chinese mythological beasts, each illustratedwith mastery in four unique spot colors.Katja Spitzer is a freelance illustrator in Berlin, Germany.

Pushkin PressLondon, England“Uncork your best Tokay to toast the Pushkin Press.”—Alberto ManguelPushkin Press publishes translations of classic and contemporary literature that change the way youlook at the world.Although we are justly proud of our Anglo-Saxon traditions of fiction writing, we tend to ignorethe parallel universes of non-Anglophone writing. Literature from other cultures often demonstratesa willingness to embrace emotions and passions eschewed by the Anglophone sensibility. It not onlyoffers us alternative visions of the world, but also of ourselves. This cultural exchange strengthensand enriches our own literary tradition.Against all commercial odds, we choose to publish translations of foreign-language classics as wellas to champion young contemporary writers who we believe reflect the extraordinary qualities of theirillustrious predecessors. That’s why you’ll find a first-time writer such as the Tuscan Filippo Bologna,or Campiello Europa prize-winner Pietro Grossi, rubbing shoulders with literary luminaries suchas Hermann Hesse, Italo Svevo, and Stefan Zweig. It’s also why Philip Pullman described our list as“one of the most imaginative and eclectic I’ve seen. . . . A small box full of treasure.”Every <strong>book</strong> Pushkin Press publishes involves passion in some form or other. There is that of theenthusiast who inspired us to publish the esoteric and little-known masterpiece (take Antal Szerb’sJourney by Moonlight, now our most successful title); there is the undeniable passion for life and love thatall our authors evoke; and there is our undiminished passion for the <strong>book</strong>s we produce.We strive to publish <strong>book</strong>s that will enthrall, delight, and linger in our readers’ thoughts long afterthey have closed our small, beautiful volumes.first season at Consortium

Saqi BooksSelf-Criticism After the DefeatSadik al-AzmForeword by Fouad AjamiIntroduction by Faisal Darraj“A unique <strong>book</strong>. . . . al-Azm sought to strip Arab thought of its belief in fateand folk tales and superstition. . . . He told his people the sort of truths thatoutsiders are too embarrassed to tell, even when they were themselves able tosee these truths.”—Fouad AjamiThe 1967 War—which led to the defeat of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt by Israel—felt like an unprecedented and unimaginable disaster for the Arab world at thetime. For many, the easiest solution was to shift the blame and to ignore someof the glaring defects of Arab society.Hailed as one of the foremost Arab intellectuals of recent decades, Sadikal-Azm was one of the few to challenge such a view in his seminal Self-CriticismAfter the Defeat. In it, he offered a penetrating analysis that probed deep intoArab society, and reasoned that Arabs had to embrace democracy, genderequality, and science to achieve progress.Self-Criticism After the Defeat represents a milestone in modern Arab intellectualhistory. It marked a turning point in Arab discourse about society andpolitics on publication in 1968, and spawned other intellectual ventures intoArab self-criticism. This is the first translation of the work into English.Born in Damascus in 1934, Sadik al-Azm is professor emeritus of modernEuropean philosophy at the University of Damascus, Syria. He earned hisPhD (1961) from Yale University, and was visiting professor in the departmentof near Eastern studies at Princeton University until 2008.POLITICAL SCIENCE / HISTORYAprilA Paperback Original5¼ x 8½ | 191 ppTrade Paper US $21.95 | CAN $23.95978-0-86356-488-8 USCThe landmark <strong>book</strong> that marked a turning point in Arab discourse aboutsociety and politics on its publication in 1968.SAQI 287

Descendedfrom an oral tradition, much of their knowledge was retained in memoriesand passed down the generations. Yet, with the introduction of the alphabet,the way of life they portray is rapidly becoming extinct.The translation is derived from the manuscripts of Russian collectorsworking out of the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth century and fromthe Soviet Union in the mid-twentieth century. The text is a mixture of proseand verse, reflecting how the legends would have been performed by storytellerswithin the culture.This volume includes a map, bibliography, appendix, glossary, keyword andtheme analysis, and references.David Hunt is an expert of Caucasus folk literature. He was awarded theMcDowell Prize from the Folklore Society in 2008.An incomparable collection, Legends of the Caucasus conveys the poetryand romance of these swiftly vanishing tribes.288

Sarabande BooksThe 6.5 Practices of ModeratelySuccessful PoetsA Self-Help MemoirJeffrey SkinnerA private eye turned moderately successful poet leads readers on a satiric,hopeful tour of how to make a life in the arts, while still having a life.Revealing, hilarious, and peppered with sly takes on the ins and outs of contemporaryAmerican poetry (chapters include “The Silence of the Iambs,”“The Revisionarium, Ask Dr. Frankenpoem,” and “The Periodic Table ofPoetic Elements”), Jeffrey Skinner offers advice, candor, and wit.Revision is the process a poem endures to become its best self.Or, if you are the poet, you are the process a poem endures to become its best self.Endures because a first draft, like all other objects in the universe, has inertia and would prefer tostay where it is. The poet must not collaborate.Best self because the poem is more like a person than a thing, and does not strenuously object topersonification.Yo, poem.But let’s not get carried away. It’s your poem and you can treat it as you wish; sweet talk it; push itaround if that’s what it takes. Alfred Hitchcock notoriously said of the actors in his movies, “They arecattle.”Jeffrey Skinner is the author of five <strong>book</strong>s of poetry, most recently Salt WaterAmnesia (Ausable Press, 2005). His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, TheAtlantic, The Nation, The American Poetry Review, Poetry, BOMB, and The Paris Review, andhis work has earned awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, TheIngram Merrill Foundation, and the Howard Foundation.LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINESAprilA Paperback OriginalThe Writer’s Studio5½ x 8½ | 225 ppTrade Paper US $16.95 | CAN $18.50978-1-936747-27-6 USCEverything you wanted to know about being a moderatelysuccessful poet, but were too tired to ask.Marketing PlansCo-op availableAdvance reader copiesAlsoAvailable• Excerpts in: AWP Chronicle Magazine• National advertising: Poets & Writers •Rain Taxi Review of Books • Writer’s Chronicle• Social media campaign: Geared to writers/writing how-to sites• Indie Red Box campaign using Periodic Tableof Poetic Elements, <strong>distribution</strong> in Consortiumgalley box• Promotion through: www.jeffreyskinner.netPassing the WordWriters on Their MentorsEdited by Jeffrey Skinner and Lee MartinPOETRY / LITERARY CRITICISMThe Writer’s Studio6 x 9 | 231 ppTrade Paper US $16.95 | CAN $20.50978-1-889330-59-4 USCPlanet On The TablePoets on the Reading LifeEdited by Sharon Bryan and William OlsenLITERARY CRITICISMThe Writer’s Studio6 x 9 | 350 ppTrade Paper US $16.95 | CAN $20.50978-1-889330-91-4 USCAuthor EventsChicago, IL • Louisville, KY • New York, NYAuthor Hometown: Louisville, KY291

Sarabande BooksSyzygy, BeautyAn EssayT Fleischmann“T Fleischmann’s Syzygy, Beauty shimmers with confidence as it tours the surrealchaos of gender, art, and desire. Its declarative sentences—seductive, abject,caustic, moving, informative, and utterly inventive—herald a new world, onein which we are blessedly ‘here with outfits like strings of light and no future.’I hail its weirdness, its ‘armpit frankess,’ its indelible portrait of occulted relation,and above all, its impeccable music.”—Maggie NelsonConstruction becomes quiet, the saw buzz and the bang little white wisps that stop at my edges. We’llget used to most anything, at least enough to keep going. The will of the wisp. I want to poke a hole inmy words so that people notice you are not here. Comfortable divots you could fill some day, if youwanted to. My mother sighs, my friends sigh. “You’re so sad,” they say. I’m not, I’m really not. I’mjust trying to breathe fully. The shadow of the mountain turns with the day, encroaching. When it settleson me I put the hammer down and walk to where it is still warm.In Syzygy, Beauty, T Fleischmann builds an essay of prose blocks, weaving togetherobservations on art, the narrator’s construction of a house, and a directaddress to a lover. Playing with scale and repetition, we are kept off-center,and therefore always looking, as the speaker leads us through an intimate relationshipthat is complicated and deepened by multiple partners, gender transitions,and itinerancy.A <strong>book</strong>-length lyric essay triangulating between contemporary art,the construction of a house, and the direct address of a lover.LITERARY COLLECTIONS / ESSAYSAprilA Paperback Original5¼ x 7¾ | 144 ppTrade Paper US $15.95 | CAN $17.50978-1-936747-26-9 USCMarketing PlansCo-op availableAdvance reader copies• National advertising: Creative Nonfiction •Fourth Genre • Poets & Writers Magazine •Rain Taxi • Writer’s ChronicleAuthor EventsSan Francisco, CA • Chicago, IL • Iowa City, IA •Grand Rapids, MI • New York, NY • Portland, ORAuthor Hometown: Dowelltown, TN293

As the unlikely survival of this opera suggests, the joy and beautythat music and art express can outlast evil even when they cannot defeat it.”—The New York Times“It’s a tale of the outrage and rebellion of even the natural world of dogs, catsand sparrows against things as unnatural as injustice and poverty and the sufferingof children.

Performed fifty-five times at Terezín, Brundibar is published here withKushner’s short play But the Giraffe, a sensitively drawn historical backdrop.Tony Kushner’s plays include Angels in America, Homebody/Kabul, A Bright RoomCalled Day, Slavs! and the <strong>book</strong> and lyrics for Caroline, or Change.Maurice Sendak is the author of over a hundred children’s <strong>book</strong>s, includingWhere the Wild Things Are.DRAMAMayA Paperback Original5 x 8 | 80 pp16 color illustrationsTrade Paper US $15.00978-1-55936-411-9 USeBook ISBN: 978-1-55936-427-0 USA children’s opera from the creators ofAngels in America and Where the Wild Things Are.Author Hometown: New York, NYAlsoAvailableAngels in America:A Gay Fantasia on National Themes(20th Anniversary Edition)Tony KushnerDRAMA5⅜ x 8½ | 304 ppTrade Paper US $16.95978-1-55936-384-6 USTrade Cloth US $30.00978-1-55936-395-2 USCaroline, or ChangeTony KushnerDRAMA5⅜ x 8½ | 128 ppTrade Paper US $13.95978-1-55936-248-1 US315

Umbrage EditionsA Girl and Her RoomRania MatarIntroduction by Susan Minot“[What’s] most striking about Matar’s photography is . . . its balance betweenthe realistic and poetic. She is the documentarian as lyricist, someonewho, recording the incongruous, discovers the transcendent.”—Mark Feeney, The Boston GlobeAward-winning photographer Rania Matar captures the interior lives of teenagegirls and young women in intimate portraits taken within the personalspaces of her subjects’ bedrooms. From Spartan cleanliness to chaotic disarray,stark and paint-chipped to clothing-cluttered and graffitied, each roomoffers an insider’s peek into the mind of the girl who lives there, her values,her desires, and her fears. Photographing girls from both the United Statesand Lebanon, Matar has succeeded in an unbiased documentary that questionswhat it means to grow from girl to woman and how our identities spillover into our material worlds.Rania Matar was born and raised in Lebanon, moving to the United Statesin 1983.

Kramer’s accompanying personal essays probethe meanings not only of his place in the Middle East, but also of the exploitativenature of photojournalism. No other <strong>book</strong> has so lyrically, succinctly,and honestly questioned the role of the photojournalist. Exposing the personaldemons born from his life and work, Kramer proves that it is his recognitionof these demons that brings his photography so close to the truth.PHOTOGRAPHYApril12 x 9 | 128 pp100 color photographsTrade Cloth US $40.00 | CAN $43.95978-1-884167-78-2 USCJeroen Kramer is a Dutch-born photojournalist who has covered subjects inthe Middle East, Africa, Burma, and the Philippines.

But light would find me stillout wandering and dropping in on friends,flat broke, a louse, a varmint, summoned byyour nakedness or even just your sighing.And honey, how was I to know what allthese dumb poems would make of me, that youwould summon me to life, and thanks to youI would become the visible, in bedbeside you, waiting till you fall asleep.Tomasz Różycki has published six <strong>book</strong>s of poetry, including The Forgotten Keys,winner of the Koscielski Prize.

Indeed, in person Sen-Senkov exhibits none of the pathos of theInspired Lyricist. He is just as likely to complain about the weather, bemoanthe latest political or natural disaster, or exclaim breathlessly over a newlydiscovered jazz musician as he is to discuss poetry. And when you read hispoems, it all makes sense: for Sen-Senkov, anything can be poetry, everythingis poetry.Born in 1968 in Dushanbe (now capital of Tajikistan), Sen-Senkov movedto central Russia following the break-up of the Soviet Union. He moved toMoscow in the beginning of the 2000s and joined the city’s lively literaryscene, although he works primarily as a gynecologist. His involvement in literarylife has been as eclectic and wide-ranging as his choice of subjects: a tirelessadvocate of artistic innovation, Sen-Senkov participates in events devotedto visual poetry, sound poetry, video poetry, and other multidisciplinary endeavors,as well as traditional poetry readings.Sen-Senkov’s poetry comes across easily and well in translation. Some ofhis imaginative leaps are more obscure than others, but this only increases thepleasure gained from following them. As a poet he is anti-hermetic—he writesto be understood, and he is generous in sharing his observations. Translatorsand English-language readers alike can delight in the fact that the intuitivelogic of his imagination essentially transcends linguistic boundaries.The newest wave of Russian poetry, set to transcend linguistic borders.Marketing Plans• National advertising: Agni • Boston Review •Rain Taxi• E-blast through ALTA listserv and Poetics Digest• Will feature title at AWP, MLA, ALTA, andAATSEEL conferences• Targeted mailing to Russian language programsand AWP listAlsoAvailable366Say Thank YouMikhail AizenbergTranslated by J.
