American Literature

From Museum of Modern Art editor Emily Hall, a debut novel in the first person about the place of art and the artist in the world.

Hall E: The Longcut

The Longcut

"True Story: A Trilogy gathers together three documentary plays by acclaimed playwright and poet Dan O'Brien concerning trauma, both political and personal. The Body of an American speaks to a moment in history when a single, stark photograph--of a US Army Ranger dragged from the wreckage of a Blackhawk helicopter through the streets of Mogadishu--altered the course of global events. In a story that ranges from Rwanda to Afghanistan to the Canadian Arctic, O'Brien dramatizes the ethical and psychological haunting of journalist Paul Watson. In The House in Scarsdale: A Memoir for the Stage the playwright applies journalistic principles to an investigation of his childhood unhappiness, as he searches for the reason why his parents and siblings cut him off years ago. The more he learns about his family, the more mysterious the circumstances surrounding their estrangement become, until his sense of self is shaken by rumors regarding his true parentage. The trilogy concludes with New Life, a tragicomedy that finds Paul Watson in Syria and the playwright in treatment for cancer, while together they endeavor to sell a TV series about journalists in war zones. New Life explores the paradox of war as entertainment, and dares to dream of healing after catastrophe. These three gritty yet poetic plays stand as a testament to the value of witnessing, honoring, and perhaps transcending the struggles of living."--

True Story: A Trilogy

Radical and racy, Robert Coover’s Coover Stories is a new collection of incisive, inventive works from the postmodern master.When Robert Coover’s first collection Pricksongs &amp; Descants came out in 1969, his short
story “The Babysitter,” took the literary world by storm. Described as “metafiction at its best,”
his work is taught in classrooms more than half a century later, no less relevant—and
irreverent—than at its debut. Provocative, experimental, and biting, Coover’s darkly satiric
writing has pushed the avant-garde to its limits and sired a generation of postmodernists.Coover Stories is the fourth short story collection from Robert Coover. Drawing on decades of experience, the William Faulkner
Foundation Award–winning writer continues to shock and engage his readers with his wit, style,
and keen critical eye for the paradoxes of modernity.

The Goldilocks Variations

"Small Pieces is a collaboration between novelist Micheline Aharonian Marcom and writer and visual artist Fowzia Karimi, pairing Marcom's short stories--miniatures as Marcom calls them--with Karimi's watercolors. The work is a conversation between two artists in text and image, side by side."

Small Pieces

"Malarkey is a kind of post-modern, May-December story that deals with the relationship between cancer stricken, divorced and single dad Malcolm Malarkey (68), an Irish English professor, Oxford grad, who teaches at a liberal arts college in the fictional town of Citrus City, California and Liliana Liliano, a late-30s Italian-American who's both a widow and childless. Fed up with the corporate life, Liliana quits and returns to begin a graduate degree where she meets and falls in love with Malarkey, a curmudgeon with little respect for accepting what's politically correct and though he loves Liliana, her desperation to get pregnant is only one of a myriad of professional and domestic obstacles they need to overcome."--Back cover.

Mad Diary of Malcolm Malarkey

"Proving himself yet again a master of every form, Barth conquers in his latest the ruminative short essay--"​​jeux d'esprits," as Barth describes them. These mostly one-page tidbits pay homage to Barth's literary influences while retaining his trademark self-consciousness and willingness to play."--

Postscripts

The Deer is a rhythmic, surrealist psychological thriller about a physicist who hits-what appears-to be a deer. As he returns from the scene of the accident to his childhood home, long-forgotten memories flood his consciousness, and he must come to terms with the fact that his past, and reality as he knows it, are not what they appear. Part experimental film, part jazz record, but always lyrical, luminous, and austere, The Deer is a poignant meditation on familial love, loss, and the mystery at the heart of existence.

Deer

"You'll Like it Here is a haunting bricolage, divided into three parts, that excavates the forgotten history of Redondo Beach in the early 1900's through old news clippings, advertisements, recipes and other ephemera that speak to the ills of male stoicism, industrialization and capitalism, and environmental displacement. Ashton used digital archives from the Redondo Reflex and other city adjacent newspapers as the basis for his surrealist account, masterfully tracing this larger shift away from coastal maritime repose in the wake of the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, and World War II through momentary fragments that feel as real and palpable as they do transient, mythological, and strangely reminiscent of our current times."--Provided by publisher.

You'll Like it Here

An Evening of Romantic Lovemaking is the tale of a would-be standup comedian/terrorist as he hilariously and heart-wrenchingly performs his last act in front of an audience who may or may not be there. Curtis White calls it "both the funniest and one of the saddest novels I've ever read" and "a work of comic genius. While comparisons to Gilbert Sorrentino, Mark Leyner, and Flann O'Brien will be made, Slotky's voice is entirely his own and one you'll not soon forget."

An Evening of Romantic Lovemaking

The Bern Book is a travelogue, a memoir, a "diary of an isolated soul" (Darryl Pinckney), and a meditation on the myth and reality of race in midcentury Europe and America.In 1953, having left the US and settled in Bern, Switzerland, Vincent O. Carter, a struggling writer, set about composing a "record of a voyage of the mind." The voyage begins with Carter's furiously good-humored description of how, every time he leaves the house, he must face the possibility of being asked "the hated question" (namely, Why did you, a black man born in America, come to Bern?). It continues with stories of travel, war, financial struggle, the pleasure of walking, the pain of self-loathing, and, through it all, various experiments in what Carter calls "lacerating subjective sociology." Now this long-neglected volume is back in print for the first time since 1973.

A Record of a Voyage of the Mind

Bern Book

Anderson's debut novel introduces readers to a writer of lucid, hallucinatory prose worthy of comparison with Roberto Bolaño, Cormac McCarthy, and José Saramago

The Western Contingent

First published in 1996 to international acclaim, Eric Darton's Free City is the fictional journal of L., a seventeenth-century inventor caught in a precarious love triangle, even as his beloved northern European port town teeters on the brink of catastrophe.

Free City

Gustave Termi is sitting on the toilet in Geneva one day when the Archangel Michael calls him to become one of the elect. No one could be more bewildered by this call than the agnostic Gustave. An encounter with a journalist in a therapist¿s waiting room, however, leads this bumbling middle-aged professor to read of the similarly inexplicable mystical calling of Stefanie von Rothenberg, a cultured Austrian whose relationship with the daemonic is only a little less strange than her relationship with Adolf Hitler. The Adorations is a novel about Europe¿s true holy trinity¿politics, faith, and insanity¿narrated with effortless erudition by Roger Boylan, whose Nabokovian knack for sentence-making knows no equal.
