Media Reviews
"Mrs. Gallant's prose can move seamlessly from the present to the past and back again, as if they were one time and the same country, and from a bright, slangy vulgarity to passages of formal beauty." -- John McGahern
-- New York Times Book Review

Kentucky Straight
by Chris Offutt
Riveting, often heartbreaking stories that take readers through country that is figuratively and literally unmapped. These stories are set in a nameless community too small to be called a town, a place where wanting an education is a mark of ungodly arrogance and dowsing for water a legitimate occupation. Offutt has received a James Michener Grant and a Kentucky Arts Council Award.
The Fat Man in History
by Peter Carey
A landmark in contemporary Australian literature, The Fat Man in History brought early acclaim to Peter Carey for his brilliant and ingenious fiction. These twelve stories introduce visionary landscapes of intense clarity, where the rules of the game are bizarre yet chillingly familiar.
