by Danielle Dutton It was Maupassant, I think, who wrote something to the effect that the greatest challenge facing the artist is to see familiar things with new eyes. With S P R A W L, Danielle Dutton has accomplished the minor miracle of seeing the suburbs in a fresh way - and in the process reinvigorates an exhausted genre. Her attention to the overlooked and insignificant opens before us, suburbanites and city-dwellers alike, a vision of a corner of the world that proves the marvelous is always at hand, if only we're willing to see it. A beautiful book. |
by Ron Currie Junior Newly available in paperback, Everything Matters! has earned Ron Currie Jr. comparisons to Kurt Vonnegut, John Irving, and Margaret Atwood, but this genre-blending storytelling is at its heart entirely unique. A richly character-driven story, the novel stars a boy growing up with insider knowledge of when the world will end. In turns funny, touching, and trimphant, our protagonist searches for meaning in a doomed world while navigating his starkly normal family, first love, the reconfiguration of the universe. A fun, riveting read. |
The New Essential Guide to Gay and Lesbian Weddings by Tess Ayers and Paul Brown I write this just hours after a federal judge overturned California's Proposition 8, reclaiming the right of same-sex couples to marry in the Golden State. In honor of this victory, we bring you The New Essential Guide to Gay and Lesbian Weddings. This original handbook, first published when the subject was even more taboo than it is now, has recently been updated. From light-hearted universal queries like "what to do with that silly square of tissue paper in the invitations" to more complex topics such as how and when to ensure the comfort of differently-minded family members, this guide is indispensible-- and we're proud to live in a time when it's so relevant. |
