New Novel Addresses Family Issues and Dementia with Compassion and Humor 

Loose in the Bright Fantastic
​by E.B. Moore

​Gray-haired Maggie flees the hospital wearing her late husband’s ill-fitting wingtips and an ancient mink over her hospital johnny. She escapes into the familiar comfort of the Boston Public Garden and, as dusk settles, her past and present meld together. She eludes the police and family for days, while revisiting old haunts, from tea at the Ritz to shopping at Goodwill. This is a story of family ties that get stretched under duress but never quite break. Told with compassion and humor,  Loose in the Bright Fantastic  is a heartfelt story of generational challenges will appeal to any reader who has ever been part of a family.
Now Available! Fabulous "Fakelore"!
​Songs for the Gusle
by Prosper Mérimée; translated by Laura Nagle
​
​This is the first complete English-language translation of La Guzla, ou Choix de poésies illyriques recueillies dans la Dalmatie, la Bosnie, la Croatie et l’Herzégowine, which presents a collection of folk literature from the former Illyrian Provinces. Or does it? Songs for the Gusle contains short pieces drawing from various genres—ersatz scholarly essays, ballad lyrics presented in the form of prose poems, folk tales, a fragment of a stage play—all generously peppered with footnotes explaining the historical and sociological context of these “discoveries.”
