Consisting of a rare memoir and also a diary, this title provides a glimpse into the domestic life of Russia's nobility in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. By the standards of the day, Anna Labzina was relatively well educated, and she travelled widely through the Russian Empire. Yet unlike most writers of her time, she writes primarily as a dutiful, if inwardly rebellious, daughter and wife, reflecting the onerous roles assigned to women in a male-centred society. Her accounts of her spiritual development and her social sphere offer glimpses into male and female sensibilities of the...

A lyrical exploration of how a bully comes into being.
"'Why didn't I get a Barbie Dreamhouse for Christmas?' So asks Mina immediately after wondering if she's a racist because she's white too. Priorities, place and position move our hero from well-meaning child to disconcerted bully, borne by a fear of impotence in the world as she tests her own privileged, small power over others. Out From the Pleiades is a rich romp, chockfull of feel-good details and enough unanswered questions to make anyone secure in their moral center come, a tiny...

A magical, heart-wrenching story about women born covered in hair, and how they love.
"Beth Couture's "Women Born with Fur"is a marvelously strange concoction, a cocktail of super-realism, fantasy, surrealism, occultism, and pop art, Rosenquist style. She develops her lovely conceit with care and kindness, leading us into a heartbreaking world we've never imagined, but in which we feel strangely comforted and right at home. An intoxicating book and brew." -Frederick Barthelme, author of"Waveland" and "There Must Be Some Mistake"

Advance praise for The Experiments (a legend in pictures & words) by Rachel May... Rachel May blends the sensuous and the violent into forceful narratives that refuse to settle neatly down. Instead, they stick out, don't quite match up, and shuffle restlessly around in the most exciting and satisfying ways-just as her sewn collages do, in clashing prints and riotous colors-and all in quest of identity, in trying to put a name to it all, a name that goes beyond language, that demands the vividly visual, that demands the tangible. This book puts it in our hands. -Cole Swensen
