An Arrow in Flight
One of the great overlooked voices of modern Irish literature, once hailed as "magnificent" by The New York Times, Mary Lavin's fiction is now being revived for a new generation of readers in this definitive volume, selected and introduced by Colm T籀ib穩n. During her lifetime, Irish American writer Mary Lavin was a prominent literary figure. Throughout the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, her stories were frequently featured in The New Yorker, compared to the works of Chekhov, James, and Wharton, and celebrated in major publications, ranging from The New York Times to The Irish Times. Lavin won prestigious awards, such as the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Katherine Mansfield Prize, and her influence extends to many of today's great fiction writers. Yet, despite her incredible success, Lavin's once acclaimed body of work has largely fallen out of print, lost and erased from the canon. Now, An Arrow in Flight brings together sixteen of Lavin's most powerful stories, selected and introduced by Colm T籀ib穩n. In witty and sharp prose, these tales explore familial tensions, relationships between men and women, and the social mores and biases of 20th-century Irish society, from the streets of Dublin to the fields of County Meath. Essential for any fan of contemporary Irish literature, An Arrow in Flight shines a much-needed light on "a master of the genre" (Los Angeles Times) who has, for too long, remained in the shadows.

In the gripping title story, a Vietnam vet revisits the war-torn landscape of his past, searching for the grave of a forgotten soldier--only to uncover far more than he bargained for. In another tale, a wildlife photographer in the African savanna risks everything for a chance at true love. A thief escaping Central America finds himself aboard a ship, only to be thrust into the peril of an approaching storm. These and other stories in Wandering Souls are told with the authenticity and keen insight that have made Caputo's writing unforgettable, offering emotionally intense and richly atmospheric narratives. With his distinctive style, Caputo delves into the complex relationship between man and memory--sometimes haunting, sometimes redemptive--capturing moments of profound emotional reckoning that compel his characters to confront their pasts and the indelible marks left by the places that shaped them.

Craft
Strange, intimate, haunted, and hungry--Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil is an intoxicating and surreal fiction debut by award-winning author Ananda Lima.

Truly wondrous." --KEVIN WILSON - "Heart-wrenching and wickedly funny." --GWEN KIRBY - "Propulsive, uncanny, and expertly built." --JULIA FINE At a Halloween party in 1999, a writer slept with the devil. She sees him again and again throughout her life and she writes stories for him about things that are both impossible and true. Lima lures readers into surreal pockets of the United States and Brazil where they'll find bite-size Americans in vending machines and the ghosts of people who are not dead. Once there, she speaks to modern Brazilian-American immigrant experiences-of ambition, fear, longing, and belonging--and reveals the porousness of storytelling and of the places we call home. With humor, an exquisite imagination, and a voice praised as "singular and wise and fresh" (Cathy Park Hong), Lima joins the literary lineage of Bulgakov and Lispector and the company of writers today like Ted Chiang, Carmen Maria Machado, and Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil includes: "Rapture," "Ghost Story," "Tropic獺lia," "Antrop籀gaga," "Idle Hands," "Rent," "Porcelain," "Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory," and "Hasselblad." A great next read for fans of Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body and Other Parties and V. E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Recommended reading by Chicago Review of Books, Electric Literature, The Kenyon Review, and more!

With a nod to Borges, Kafka, and Daphne du Maurier, Esquire Ball, Stories from the Great Black Swamp is a Midwestern gothic collection of thirteen linked stories in which a young female attorney discovers what it takes to succeed. In this debut collection, set primarily in 1980s Northwest Ohio, ambitious men marry frog wives; a mother-daughter duo trap souls in farmhouse windows; a teenager drowns in a sea of corn; an associate breaks into a client's house to steal a token of remembrance; and a PhD candidate reveals the secrets of the universe while having a threesome with her boyfriend and a tree.

Rory's Not That Guy
Rory's Not That Guy: And Other Tales from Middle America takes the reader on a tour of " flyover country," from struggling small towns to honky-tonks to the parts of cities that don't make it onto postcards. It's 19 short stories, many humorous, many not, include coming of age in a hopeless small town (" Art" ), what if you could go back in time and go to high school again (" No Returns" ), and what happens when your carefully arranged world is disrupted by civil unrest (" Willie Wallace" ). Fifteen of the nineteen stories have been published in a variety of literary magazines and anthologies, including The New Guard, Evening Street Press & Review, and American Fiction. What links these stories-- beyond geography-- is the shared humanity of its characters. Each are struggling with a world which for some is hostile, and for all confusing and beyond their control. Some are lost, some are still trying, and some have given up, but all are sympathetic and believable. In the end, the reader will find that rather than something to fly over, these stories reflect if not the postcards vision of Middle America, but for so many, the reality.
Live Loud & Suffer in Silence
Take your torch and brace yourself, it might get dark when you dive deep! These texts are not about the sunny side of life. Rather, they deal with the scenes that are staged in the shadows, that don't fit into tiny polished squares to be presented on the virtual pin board of one's life. These are the stories that rarely are the first ones you tell someone on a second date, the ones that you try to hide, the ones that rarely see the sunlight, the ones that aren't easy to narrate, the ones that yet and still are part of life. This book aims at shifting the untold stories from the shadows into the light. Because they are worth it. Because they need to be accepted as part of life. Because they deserve to be told. "This author is no doubt an astute observer of human experiences, exploring deeply the turmoil that lingers on in the confines of the heart, desperate to come out, often surrendering to silence." - Reader Views Note: a certain percentage of your purchase will be donated to local mental health institutions.
