The Flying African by Areg Azatyan; translated by Nazareth Seferian This episodic and surreal novel follows the journey of an unnamed traveler, a young Armenian writer who spends fifty-four adventurous days in Africa, one day in each of the continent's countries. Fifty-four chapters provide vignettes of the visits to each country, in which the traveler experiences the beauty of the land and the complexity of the people, as well the continent’s darker side: the on-going effects of colonization, war, poverty, and disease. "...reminiscent of the surrealism of Italo Calvino" |
Now Available for the First Time in English
Blessed Hands: Stories by Frume Halpern; translated by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub These slice-of-life stories first appeared in the Yiddish radical press in mid-20th century New York. An over-looked master of the short story genre, Frume Halpern's fiction is now available for the first time, in its entirety, to English-language readers. These psychologically insightful stories present the lives of protagonists who are working-class poor, social outcasts, and those experiencing illness, disability, and racism. Halpern worked as a massage therapist in a hospital and many of these stories are about those who work with their hands. |
Now Available as an Ebook
Right Guy, Wrong Time by Louise MacGregor Louise MacGregor's New Adult romance, Right Guy, Wrong Time, is now available as an ebook! Part romantic comedy, part social commentary, part women's empowerment, this novel manages to be a light, entertaining read while also tackling some tough subjects. Edie, a record label talent scout, experiences date rape as well as sexual harassment at work. Handling her recovery and these challenges is further complicated when she meets an intriguing new love interest. This offbeat feminist romantic comedy moves beyond “girl meets guy,” dealing with sexual dysfunction, the ubiquity of rape culture, and what recovery looks like in a world filled with reminders of your assault. |
