TEMPORAL on Vol 1 Brooklyn's March Book Preview

March 01, 2018 by Mikaela Grantham

Our March release, Troy James Weaver's novel Temporal, is included in Vol. 1 Brooklyn's March Book Preview: 

"Troy James Weaver’s fiction blends sharply-observed realism with forays into the unexplained and surreal. His latest novel follows the lives of three Wichita teens over the course of several months; shoegaze plays a significant role in the narrative. Can’t argue with shoegaze fiction."

Praise for TEMPORAL by Troy James Weaver

December 04, 2017 by Mikaela Grantham

"Troy James Weaver is one monster of a writer. Troy James Weaver is our Witold Gombrowicz. Troy James Weaver works in a flower shop. Troy James Weaver is the first great writer who worked in a flower shop."

- Scott McClanahan, author of THE SARAH BOOK

 

"Troy James Weaver can write an irrational divorced drunken noise rock making bathrobe clad dad like a motherfucker. And if that isn't enough to make you buy Temporal right now than there's little hope left for any of us."

- Steve Anwyll, author of WELFARE

 

"Troy James Weaver guides us through a charred, hellish landscape full of dead people and clouds and broken brains. We should salute him for this intense and mysterious novel of devastation. For fans of Denis Johnson, My Bloody Valentine, and NyQuil."

- Patty Yumi Cottrell, author of SORRY TO DISRUPT THE PEACE

 

"Troy James Weaver is incredible. Temporal is his best work."

- Bud Smith, author of WORK

 

“Temporal is a novel painted with the blood of damaged, disaffected teenagers. Imagine S.E. Hinton if she listened to Sonic Youth. With each new book Troy James Weaver writes, he's creating more of an impressive landscape of American gloom and melancholy. But he’s also able to highlight an elusive beauty in the life struggles of his characters.”

- Kevin Sampsell, author of THIS IS BETWEEN US

Memory Foam by Adam Soldofsky wins a 2017 American Book Award

August 23, 2017 by Mikaela Grantham

Whoa. Memory Foam by Adam Soldofsky won a 2017 American Book Award. Holy hell. This award is cooler than the Pulitzer or the National Book Award. Check out their statement:

"The American Book Awards Program respects and honors excellence in American literature without restriction or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre. There would be no requirements, restrictions, limitations, or second places. There would be no categories (i.e., no “best” novel or only one “best” of anything). The winners would not selected by any set quota for diversity (nor would “mainstream white anglo male” authors be excluded), because diversity happens naturally. Finally, there would be no losers, only winners. The only criteria would be outstanding contribution to American literature in the opinion of the judges."

SISTER SUITE by Christine Stroud, coming this September

July 25, 2017 by Mikaela Grantham

Check out Peter Campanelli's cover design for Christine Stroud's Sister Suite. Wowee! 

Here's some early praise for Sister Suite:

"Sister Suite is a haunted obituary, a collage made from a crime scene photograph, a series of love poems whispered to a hungry ghost. Where most writers hope to leave a bit of their heart on the page, Christine Stroud keeps going; she leaves her veins, her hair, and her baby teeth." 

- Kevin Maloney, author of Cult of Loretta

"An unusually riveting/page-turning poetry/fiction hybrid you can read on the subway or
while waiting in your dentist’s office instead of staring at your phone for half an hour. 
Sister Suite reminded me of Christa Parravani’s Her: a Memoir in that they’re both about the strange, intimate-to-the-point-of-claustrophobic relationship between a pair of twin sisters and the even stranger separation of said twin sisters by death. I like strange."

- Elizabeth Ellen, author of Person/a: a novel

"Christine Stroud builds a world that is so beautiful it is grotesque, a world I never want to leave. Each memory in this book shimmers its way into the cords of my brain and seethes at the pages, burning bright and quick. Sister Suite is a fragmentary family portrait of loss that cuts to the bone. "

- Elle Nash, author of Animals Eat Each Other

"Blurring the line between prose poem sequence and the tiniest of postmodern novels, Christine Stroud's Sister Suite captures the emotional and narrative fragmentation emanated by grief.  Each one of these lyric shards cuts, draws blood, has you suck in your breath." 

- Gerry LaFemina, author of Little Heretic
