Osin by Jessica Lott

“This novella is a work of mature sensibility and deep light. It should signify an important debut.”
—Ha Jin

Rabbit Punches by Jason Ockert

“The writing is hip but not terminally hip, fun, at times very fun, and contains signs that the author is disturbed enough to be worth watching. He may tell us some new things.”
—Padgett Powell

The Week You Weren't Here by Charles Blackstone

“Given the strength of the narrative voice, the reader quickly learns to read Charles Blackstone's sparsely punctuated prose...a fine first novel.”
The Review of Contemporary Fiction

On the Way to My Father's Funeral: New and Selected Stories by Jonathan Baumbach

“Mr. Baumbach has more voices than Willie the Whale, more accents than the people at Berlitz, a gift for parody, a detector for cliché.”
The New York Times

Next Door Lived a Girl by Stefan Kiesbye (Winner of the 2004 Novella Award)

"Kiesbye's dark, distinctive vision of humanity, is composed with such narrative skill and verve as to render the bleakness bracing, the grimness utterly gripping. A significant and powerful debut." —Peter Ho Davies

Trouble With The Machine, poems by Christopher Kennedy

"Singular and deeply pleasurable. Chris Kennedy’s prosetry is a lonely anarchic nation-state unto itself, half vacation funspot, half eerie purgatorial layover." —Dave Eggers

B: a novel by Jonathan Baumbach

"Jonathan Baumbach's 10th novel, B, is the book to read if you're sick of other books, something to beat the worst case of reader's block."
The Village Voice

Nietzsche's Horse, poems by Christopher Kennedy

"A haunting, complex, and very beautiful book. Kennedy has a deep understanding of American longing and the inevitable losses associated with that longing and, because he is a powerful artist, is able to make from that loss a wonderful victory: this moving portrait of the human heart examining itself."—George Saunders
