Fungal
$22.00Fungal is a wide-ranging collection from Ariel Gordon where she explores her fascination with all mushrooms, not just those you can eat. In these engaging essays she takes the reader through ditches and puddles in search of morels, through the hallways of a mushroom factory, down city sidewalks and beside riverbanks as she considers all things found and fungal. Along the way there are entertaining stories of the perils of mushroom identification, including mailed mushrooms that have liquefied, or terrifying thoughts of Canadian geese being fed hallucinogenic mushrooms, as well as a thoughtful analysis of the ways mushrooms knit our ecosystems together and the ways we knit our lives and communities together. Smart, funny and poetic, Gordon moves seamlessly from the natural world to the personal in these essays, examining the interconnectedness of all things and delighting in the rich variety of the world around her.

Gone to Pieces
$18.00In Gone to Pieces an entire family’s lives are consumed by a single story: a tall tale about a forest fire and the horses who fled into a lake of ice to escape the flames. Everything they do, everything they watch, and everything they speak about revolves around the story of that fire and those horses, and their father’s deep belief that it is real.
Curzi grew up feeling both resentful and beholden to her father’s story. Something that causes her to flee her family when she is young, but also, upon learning that her father is on his deathbed, makes her determined to wade through the tale just as he would have wanted.
But Gone to Pieces is a story about more than just this one thing: it’s about the habits we form, the complexities of family, and the complicated histories that we escape and revisit. The story spans decades and continents, from Curzi’s father’s birthplace in Italy to the butcher-shop-filled Chicago of her childhood, on to her estranged brother’s home in Stockholm and the Russian Lake Lagoda with its fabled story of the “ice horses” from Italian writer Curzio Malaparte’s 1944 novel, Kaputt .
Gone to Pieces is a poetically told tale about the pain of the past and what it takes to move on from it. -

Little Fortified Stories
$23.00A spinster in love with a tobacco-smoking ghost. A lonely one-eyed monster who wanders the desert. A Medieval saint who delights in her “miraculous ruine.” In Little Fortified Stories, award-winning writer Barbara Black conjures a microcosm of characters that defy convention. In these very short stories, curious worlds are encapsulated like a series of snow globes, swirling with deep emotion and teeming with strangeness. Inspired by art, music, alcoholic spirits, and what Black calls “authentic fabrications” from her own ancestry, these eclectic tales are told with an eye to the absurd. Buzzing with hypnotic intensity, Little Fortified Stories presents a world in which everything is theatre and the regular rules don’t apply.

Love in late capitalism: Ivana Sajko takes us to the frontlines of a war waged between kitchen and bedroom.
Love in late capitalism: in an unnamed city, a husband and wife wage a silent war of rage and resentment. He, an out-of-work Dante scholar, is trying to change the world—and write a novel. She was once a passable actress, but now she’s failing at breastfeeding. They take on gigs and debts. He drinks cheap wine; she cleans obsessively. In their two-room flat the tension rises and turns exquisite: the rent is past due, their careers have stalled, the regime is crumbling, and there’s always the baby, the baby who won’t stop crying.
Intense and astutely ironic, devastating and darkly comic, Ivana Sajko’s Love Novel takes a scalpel to the heart of modern married life.
