By Myself: An Autobiography, by D.A. Powell and David Trinidad
If there were an award for Chapbook of the Year it would surely be given to By Myself: An Autobiography. In the spirit of Goethe's comment, "One is never satisfied with the portrait of a person one knows," two celebrated poets, D.A. Powell and David Trinidad, have collaborated to create a perfect portrait of an unknown star in 300 lines by taking one sentence from each of 300 celebrity autobiographies. The result is poignant, poetic and hilarious — a perfect and imperishable performance.
Wild Punch, by Creston Lea
Wild Punch is an intense, nimble, and flat-out tough debut collection that portrays loss and honesty in subtle daily revelations.
Artists' Wives, by Alphonse Daudet
Helen Marx Books and Turtle Point Press have rediscovered a little known collection of short stories by the once celebrated author of Le Petit Chose and Lettres de Mon Moulin. Daudet is master of understated humor and he has an unerring eye for the competition between husband and wife. Fragility and faithfulness, fame and gossip take on whole new meanings in stories which at times are written in parallel texts and have an almost postmodern feel to their highly original presentation.
Four Tales by Zélide
Three psychologically astute 18th century stories that anticipate later ideas of emancipation.
What Never Die, by Barbara D'Aurevilly
D'Aurevilly was according to Paul Bourget, "a dreamer with an exquisite vision." What Never Dies, translated by Oscar Wilde while he was in exile in Paris, introduces us to Camilla, daughter of the Countess de Scudemor, the author's most winsome creation.
Going Somewhere, by Max Ewing
A frivolous masterpiece set in New York, Paris and London in the Twenties starring Princesse Angele de Villfranche, Comtesse Fervante de Contrecoeur, Pisa Barteau and Napier Knightsbridge.
All Aboard, by Joe Ashby Porter
Venturing into new, sometimes unprecedented territory, from the luxe restraint of Merrymount through the stops-out eroticism of Pending, and the distilled heebie-jeebies of Dream On.
Earthquake, by Susan Barnes
Earthquake, with its visually acute, roguish, and intimate reflections of a girl’s childhood spent in Alaska and outside of Boston, is a novella in three parts. It is a tiny, humane and quietly humorous tale of a thoroughly unconventional girlhood.
Lord Of Dark Places, by Hal Bennett
A detective story, a black comedy, a tragedy, Lord of Dark Places, thirty-five years out of print, is a dissertation on the histories and stereotypes that conspire to man and to unman Black Americans by a Faulkner Award-winning writer.
Collected Tales and Fantasies, by Lord Berners
Here is a delightful collection of short fiction by the quirky, off-beat writer and composer Lord Berners. The volume includes the following novels: Percy Wallingford, The Camel, Mr. Pidger, Count Omega, The Romance of a Nose, and Far from the Madding War.
The Green Parrot, by Princess Marthe Bibesco
“A strange and beautiful story, with the faintly arid charm of a miniature painted on the cover of a seventeenth-century snuff box.”—The New York Times
Excitable Women, Damaged Men, by Robert Boyers
“Rage in all its ugly glory takes center stage in this delectable debut...Boyers's stories about academics and art-lovers who hide their more ignoble characteristics until life inevitably draws them out are exquisitely crafted and acutely observed.”—Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
The Scapegoat, by Jocelyn Brooke
“Mr. Brooke is a great writer...if you care enough for literature you should seek out The Scapegoat.”—Elizabeth Bowen
“For a book written when and where it was, The Scapegoat is almost unbelievably subversive and kinky...I can think of few books as erotically and dramatically charged.”—Peter Cameron
