The Collectors, by Frank Jewett Mather, Jr.

The bad behavior of the bourgeousie by a master of the naturalist school.

Now Voyagers, by James McCourt

“Tragic wisdom, we discover, can also be le gai savoir, and James McCourt has made a real specialty of transforming intricate wisdom into no more than discerning frivolity, no less than divine frenzy; as he puts it: a running neon paradigm of the quintessence of divadienst! For the purposes (if that is not too grandiose a word) of such fiction, fun is fun, but folly a kind of fate.”—Richard Howard

A Man Under Authority, by Reid Mitchell

“A human portrait of a classic character, a lesson in history, and a comment not only on how we live but also on how we view our lives.”—Thomas E. Kennedy

“An intriguing journey toward that ambiguous place where courage and fear, heroism and cowardice, and ambition and disillusion meet....Mitchell writes with grace and authority...”—Rosellen Brown

A Limited Quantity Title

The Deposition Of Father McGreevy, by Brian O'Doherty

“A beautiful, dark and achingly sad tale that kept me spellbound.”—Frank Conroy

“Real tough on heart and soul but then the beauty, the grace of the prose, gives us fortitude to endure this story so utterly true to our human nature.”—Jim Harrison

An On Demand Title

The Lady Of Deerpark, by Seumas O'Kelly

Set in the west of Ireland of the 1890’s, The Lady of Deerpark is a “big house” novel—an ironic elegy for an Ireland in decay. It is distinguished by craft as well as humor, by a stylistic strength and suppleness that can mix realist and symbolist modes, cut tragedy with farce, comedy with satire, and brush all up with a touch of Turgenev and the Gothic. It is as full of texture, color, and animation as a Jack Yeats painting.

Bubu Of Montparnasse, by Charles-Louis Phillippe

A vivid cult novel with the strength of a good vin du pays.

The Near Future, by Joe Ashby Porter

“The Near Future is a little jewel of a book, a very funny novel about getting—among other things—old, and in Florida, and with less than one's entire dignity intact. Porter's comic imagination is of the truly droll sort, and with it he hones very closely in upon the truth—alas. ”—Richard Ford

Touch Wood, by Joe Ashby Porter

Now grave, now twinkling with sly humor, these variously innovative stories that range across the U.S. from Key West to Alaska and about the Mediterranean in Tunisia, Spain, and southern France received a starred Kirkus Review.
