excerpt

No other obsession strikes as hard as the love that hits a teenaged boy — especially if he’s the sort of kid who is no saner than he wants to be.

From the moment Adam Webb sees Francine Haggard—in the van that is supposed to return them to the Institute Loiseaux—the two young mental patients are inextricably connected. Adam will never let this girl go.

From hiding her in his bedroom to spiriting her away to Minnesota’s north woods, “Miss Entropia” becomes the focus of Adam’s every thought and of everything he does. He believes her to be a goddess, his own goddess.

But the pyromaniacal Miss Entropia will be neither worshiped nor owned. And so Adam’s possessiveness is destined to push her to the breaking point.

Theirs is an incendiary love story, an unbalanced Romeo and Juliet, that spins and arcs its way strangely toward tragedy.

a manic contemporary ride through the coming of age of two indomitable young people.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I was about to make the leap from quirky childhood to fully unleashed adolescence. Out on our porch stoop, waiting for the van, I’d felt the breeze of liberation for the first time in the two months I’d been home. They were coming to take me away, and I was exceedingly glad. Yes, good-bye, Mom, good-bye, Dad, good-bye, Iris, good-bye, Ted, I’m off to Institute Loiseaux. Better known as a home for the cleverly complicated. It’s not a place for everybody. The entrance requirements are rigorous. It takes more than being challenged in the conventional ways, reality-warped, emotionally stunted, mentally fevered, attention-deficient. You gotta be cute to get into Loiseaux. No bobbing heads here, no fatties, droolers, spitters, or snifflers. No predators, delinquents, bullies, tweakers, juicers, or tokers allowed, no matter how delightfully odd.

It does help if you’re an affluent exotic, a mass of psychic knots, a tangle of phobias and compulsions backed by a trust fund. Then even the suicidal and the homicidal are welcome. Hippies and goons, poets and anorexics, twitchers, Touretters, and the vaguely traumatized are all hugged close to Dr. Clara Loiseaux’s pillowy bosom, feeling the warm embrace of the maternal healer, inhaling her distinctive scent of rose petals and licorice.

…I rolled down the window, and the whir of tires on

the pavement brought back the sound of my trike when I was six, yes, a three-wheeler because I was not blessed with even a minimal sense of balance. After trying training wheels on a regular bike, all geared up with knee and elbow pads and a helmet to protect me in my frequent tumbles, I was given an overgrown child’s contraption with balloon tires and heavy-duty hand brakes. No matter. Rocinante, as Mother named my conveyance, flew like the wind, responding to my frantic pedaling on the uphills, then back, feet out, legs splayed like wings, caroming on the downgrades. Swaddled in heavy corduroy pants and a sweatshirt, I could feel the wind blowing on my face and hear the hum of rubber on asphalt singing in my head. In the years since, I’ve never been able to recapture that sweet momentum, the sensation of rushing so fast that a slight bump on the road would lift me and Rocinante off the ground into a frictionless surface of pure air.

Thirty minutes later we were back at the hotel, sitting cross-legged on Jason’s bed, diamonds spread in front of us. We were suffering from something I now think of as Diamond Fever.

We were giddy. Jason opened a bottle of wine from the minibar. We toasted each other. He held the diamonds up to my ears. Just to see how I would look with really good accessories. And perhaps that was what got to him. My finely dressed ears. But the next thing, we were kissing. It was only one kiss. But I will say it was a good one. Really good. Surprisingly good. Considering. I thought about all the times Rock Hudson had kissed Doris Day. Was this what it was like for good old Doris? Handsome Rock kissing away and Doris knowing he was probably thinking of Roddy McDowell?

When we pulled apart I noticed Jason’s eyes were still closed. And his hands were still on my earlobes. Slowly he dropped his hands and opened his eyes.

I wondered if he might cry. Might accuse me of despoiling his lips. Maybe they had never been kissed by a woman other than his mother. I was ready for can’t-even-catch-your-breath drama. But he looked fine. Really fine. Like nothing at all unusual had happened.

“So, let me show you how we’re gonna get these babies into the country,” he said, smiling. “Wanna help?”

And he took two sinus inhalers. The kind we all carried on the plane in case ears plugged up. He unscrewed the bottoms and emptied out the innards. Then, taking tiny pieces of tissue, he showed me how we would wrap each and every diamond, placing them back into the inhalers. Screwing the bottoms back on.

The next day I couldn’t decide which was the bigger secret. The kiss or the smuggling. But when passing through customs and being stopped by the agent, we both simply smiled and said we had nothing to declare.

Claudia sternbach is a writer who is equally at home on both coasts. she has one foot in

excerpt

Kisses, even the ones that don’t happen, can be the trace of what’s constant when life changes. In childhood, when what seems to define everything is competition—for style, for knowing, for experience—a kiss is the first first. When a girl’s father moves out and chooses a new family, a kiss on the head from him may be the trace of constancy that she wants most.

Later, such things take on a different flavor. Sometimes the kiss she wants doesn’t come. Sometimes the one she wouldn’t have is forced upon her. From time to time, the one she has kissed before is lost to her.

Some kisses are final. When things are most hectic a kiss can be a celebration. And when circumstances grow threatening—to a woman, her family, her sister—a kiss becomes the reassertion of the most vital connections.

The rich story in these essays rings with good humor and with moving wistfulness. Throughout, Sternbach maintains a perfect balance between them as her story moves from the bittersweet desires of childhood on through loss and love.

Reading Lips is the tale of one woman who is just trying to get life right.

“with wit and grace, sternbach reminds us that a kiss is seldom just a kiss, and you'll find yourself recalling the ones that changed your own life. a wonderful, moving book about what in life is, finally, unforgettable.”—elisabeth robinson A Memoir of Kisses

Spring 2010 SEiBA Okra Pick

Indie Notable Pick May 2010

“With AN UNFINISHED SCORE, author Elise Blackwell … has climbed into the ranks of our most consistent and interesting emerging American novelists ….”—The Quarterly Conversation

“AN UNFINISHED SCORE is an exquisitely composed work of fiction, lyrical in tone and quality, a literary ballet, a complex story told through music, while the ending, as with a good concert, will take the reader's breath away.”—rundpinne

“Blackwell’s prose works like a symphony ... the book is ultimately an orchestra of its own, beautifully composed and richly textured.”—new Pages

As she prepares dinner for her husband and their extended family, Suzanne hears on the radio that a jetliner has crashed and her lover is dead.

Alex Elling was a renowned orchestra conductor. Suzanne is a concert violist, long unsatisfied with her marriage to a composer whose music turns emotion into thought. Now, more alone than she’s ever been, she must grieve secretly. But as complex as that effort is, it pales with the arrival of Alex’s widow, who blackmails her into completing the score for Alex’s unfinished viola concerto.

As Suzanne struggles to keep her double life a secret from her husband, from her best friend, and from the other members of her quartet, she is consumed by memories of a rich love affair saturated with music. Increasingly manipulated by her lover’s widow and tormented by the concerto’s many layers, Suzanne realizes she may lose everything she’s spent her life working for.

A story of love, loss, sex, class, and betrayal, this psychologically compelling novel explores the ways that artists’ lives and work interact, the nature of relationships among women as friends and competitors, and what it means to make a life of art.

a small midwest town finds itself the unlikely center of national pop culture notoriety, in more ways than one.

Timothy Schaffert has created his most memorable character yet in Essie, an octogenarian obituary writer for her family’s small town newspaper. When a young country girl is reported to be missing, perhaps whisked away by an itinerant aerial photographer, Essie stumbles onto the story of her life. Or, it all could be simply a hoax, or a delusion, the child and child-thief invented from the desperate imagination of a lonely, lovelorn woman. Either way, the story of the girl reaches far and wide, igniting controversy, attracting curiosity-seekers and cult worshippers from all over the country to this dying rural town. And then it is revealed that the long awaited final book of an infamous series of ya gothic novels is being secretly printed on the newspaper’s presses.

The Coffins of Little Hope tells a feisty, energetic story of characters caught in the intricately woven webs of myth, legend and deception even as Schaffert explores with his typical exquisite care and sharp eye the fragility of childhood, the strength of family, the powerful rumor mills of rural America, and the sometimes dramatic effects of pop culture on the way we shape our world.

This began not as a book but as an obit of a kind for a little girl who up and went missing one simple summer day. On this girl we pinned all hopes of our dying town’s salvation. The longer we went without seeing her even once, the more and more dependent upon her we grew. She became our leading industry, her sudden nothingness a valuable export, and we considered changing the name of our town to hers; we would live in the town of Lenore. Is it any wonder that we refused to give up hope despite all the signs that she’d never existed, that she’d never been anybody—never, not even before she supposedly vanished?

By the time Daisy, the mother of that vaporous Lenore, finally called me to her farmhouse, after all the weeks of bickering and debate that enlivened our town yet ruined its soul, after most of the events of this book had passed, no one anywhere was any longer waiting for word of Lenore’s death. For some of us, Lenore was nothing but a captivating hoax, while for others, she was a grim tragedy, a mystery cynically left unsolved.

You were either one of the ones who truly believed in Lenore or you were one of the ones who believed in the same way you believe in the trickling stigmata of a plastic Virgin, with a trust in magic and miracle mostly for the thrill of it. Or you were one of the ones with no faith at all. Those were the ones, the ones with disbelief, who benefited the most, who made the most money on the sad pilgrims who skulked in and out of our town.

Some of you may say I’m just as bad as the worst of the people who’ve exploited the summer, fall, and winter of Lenore, that I’ve played this story like an accordion for the purposes of melodrama, squeezing and stretching, inflating and deflating scenes and events at will. But I stand behind all the truths in this story of deception. Maybe because I’ve so long looked so old, even when I was relatively young, that people feel they can be revealing around me, that they can unbutton their lips and let slip intimate facts and trust that I have the maturity to keep my mouth shut.

Timothy schaffert grew up on a farm in nebraska and currently lives in omaha. He’s the author

My great-grandmother, Carrie Smith, wrote many hymns and poems and articles—she was the librarian, newspaper editor, and church organist in her small town in the desert-like Sandhills of Nebraska—but the writing of hers I most admire was across photographs in an album. Sometimes her scribbles were whimsical, such as what she inked across a photo of herself cross-legged in the crook of a tree branch—“When you are sitting on a stump, think of me before you jump”—and sometimes they were heartbreaking: a very young Carrie, with a baby in her arms, walks in front of an empty farm wagon, across a spotty, weedy yard, beneath the words “Bitter end of hard times.” In a photo of three women balancing on railroad tracks and wearing long dark skirts, Carrie wrote, “the girls I left behind I used to Love.”

I love that capital L in the word “love” and the poetic tripping along of the words, and I love the three girls themselves, their arms linked and their hair collected in identical upsweeps. In her writing on the various photos in the album, Carrie attempted to instill a sense of melancholy and romance and mystery, to conceal more often than reveal, but to nonetheless suggest a story. She mostly denied us any identification of the people in the photos, listed few names and years.

But among the reasons I return again and again to the photos are the desolate landscapes—the bare white skies and the gray land ravaged by weather, the houses and barns already in collapse, the wheels and pulleys and bedraggled horses of doomed farming endeavors. Though the photos depict a homestead decades before my birth, it’s a world that I seem to remember, as if memory can flow in the blood from generation to generation. I never tire of writing about the geography that has surrounded my

family for over a century, the familiar creatures and habits of nature—a spider, a snowfall, a line of sunlight—bent and shadowed slightly by my imagination. You probably can’t very well track the places in my novels on a map, but they’re all out there, and they’re real, and you’d probably know them if you saw them.

One of the first short stories I ever wrote was about the three women in the photo on the railroad tracks—or, rather, a story inspired by all that the photo left unsaid. But the girls in my story wore those same long skirts, and they wore their hair up, and they balanced on railroad tracks.

The characters in my novels of small-town America aren’t often based on real people, though they are often suggested by a gesture witnessed, an object found, a turn of phrase overheard. Lily and Mabel Rollow and their shop of curiosities in The Phantom Limbs of the Rollow Sisters were stirred up by a junk-shop owner who once tried to sell me the rings off her fingers. Hud, the piano-lounge entertainer of The Singing and Dancing Daughters of God evolved from a sharkskin suit I didn’t buy from a secondhand shop years ago. The suit didn’t quite fit, and it was when $35 seemed an awful lot for a used suit that needed tailoring, but I’ve always regretted not splurging on it.

Essie, the eighty-something obit writer in the new one, The Coffins of Little Hope, is more than a little like my great-grandmother, though she seems to have put herself together all her own as I told her story, a dragonfly pin suddenly in her white hair, her outdated typewriter gone rickety. But the novel, like all my novels, owes something to my great-grandmother’s devotion to place—at the heart of The Coffins of Little Hope is a farmhouse and farmland that become both salvation and curse to a woman desperate for stability and quiet.

Though I don’t know what bitter end of what hard times my great-grandmother referenced in her note on the photo, I know she once wrote a song in tribute to the tiny sod house in which she started her married life, a house built slapdash against a hill. (In a photo, a cow grazes atop it.) Those girls in the long skirts left behind so famously in my imagination were likely friends of Carrie’s from her home before Nebraska, a town in Missouri where she spent her girlhood growing up next door to a boy she loved. She was heartbroken when her family moved, by covered wagon, to the Sandhills. The boy’s family also eventually moved to the Sandhills, also by covered wagon, and in a kind of magical fate they were neighbors again. I learned all this from a poem Carrie wrote on the occasion of her fiftieth wedding anniversary of her marriage to this boy she had only left for a while. I can imagine what it must have been like to see him again, so unexpectedly, so far from home, suddenly a blessing on the horizon of this seemingly unforgiving landscape.

One night Jim, a quiet wine steward, wakes to find two men trying to steal his car. Against the petitions of his wife, he goes outside to get the plate number of the thieves’ truck. Instead, something comes over him and he drives away in their truck until he recovers his wits and realizes what he’s done. When Jim learns that the two would-be thieves are brothers with a history of violence, he soon finds himself over his head in a mire of sinister events and must risk everything to regain what he can of his life before that night.

“There are books that you can’t put down, and there are books that won't go away even after you put them down, the force of their moral conundrums haunting the stories of our own lives. The Descent of Man is a spectacular showcase for both literary virtues—the riveting tale of a modest but perfect life under assault, and a resonating challenge to our own self-knowledge, the authenticity of that knowledge, which can only be confirmed through crisis.

Who are we when push comes to shove? What are we capable of? Do we have the fortitude to save ourselves from the bad things in the world, and the backbone--the strength of mind and spirit—to protect those we love from harm? kevin Desinger confronts us with these questions in the steady, quiet voice of Everyman, a decent guy sitting in a parlor chair, calmly narrating a firestorm that's consuming his house and family. He has written a novel that is flawless, masterful, unforgettable, and chilling in its dramatization of the way we live in fragile grace each day in America, our blessings balanced on the edge of violence and loss.” —Bob Shacochis

kevin desinger graduated from the iowa Writers’ Workshop before moving to Portland where

he wrote for the Willamette Week, the Oregonian and a number of regional publications. An

earlier short story appeared in The Missouri Review. This is his first novel.

The Descent of Mana quiet man living a domestic life with a wife he loves decides to turn the tables one night on two car thieves and, as a consequence, his life spirals into a nightmare.

A truck with its lights out idled in the street. White steam pulsed from the tailpipe and drifted off, but the truck made no sound. From our bedroom window I could make out the motionless shapes of two men on either side of the truck, facing each other. They both turned toward our house, but I was able to step back before they looked up to the second floor, where I stood in the dark. I recalled having been awakened by a clank like you hear from a distant game of horseshoes, but not why it had drawn me to the window. Marla slept on, but she can sleep through anything.

When I peered out again, both figures were standing together on the near side of the truck. They were studying our car. Even after I realized that the sound had come from a piece of steel striking the pavement, an element of disbelief kept me from piecing together what was happening. My sleepy forty-year-old brain plodded through the stages of cognizance, from seeing to understanding. In college philosophy I had learned the difference between immediate and mediate perception. Immediate: two guys. Mediate: I recognize them as two guys. The first is simply the mechanism of my eyes discerning shapes in the visual field; the second is my brain making sense of the shapes. Both stages happen at the speed of thought—the first perhaps even faster because it happens before thinking interferes. Either I’d skipped the next class or we hadn’t covered a third stage of perception (maybe making sense of the action), but it took what seemed like forever: Two guys are stealing our car. The fourth stage, let’s call it self-awareness, quickly followed: I’m standing here like an idiot watching two guys steal our car.

You Believers is a powerful, cathartic story of casual evil and of how the worst things can be faced so that we might not only survive, but grow. A young woman goes missing, and her mother uproots her life to find her daughter. But it is not just the heartbreak or the deep mystery of the hunt for lost loved ones that Bradley so convincingly explores. Rather, with the help of an amazingly dedicated searcher, family and friends somehow learn to move past unspeakable horror and celebrate the tenacity of the human spirit. Offering a vision that is at once ruthless and utterly compassionate, Bradley renders the search for logic, meaning, redemption and even hope in the domino force that is human nature.

Part Southern gothic, part crime, part haunting suspense story, You Believers takes us on an infinitely harrowing journey that rewards the reader with insight into how we might endure horrible events with faith, strength, and grace even while it reveals the ripple effects of random violence.

when a young woman goes missing, a professional searcher with uncanny empathetic skill works heroically to find her.

Jane bradley is the author of two acclaimed story collections and a novella, including Power Lines,

which was named a new York Times notable book. originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee,

she now teaches at the University of Toledo in ohio. This is her first full-length novel.

You Believersby jane bradley

}excerpt

It’s classic, almost. Like the story of Persephone picking flowers in a field one spring afternoon. The earth opens. Hades comes roaring up in his chariot, black horses digging up dirt with their hooves, hot breath swirling from flared nostrils. With a quick swoop of thick, muscled arm, Hades snatches the girl, drags her down to the underworld. You know the story. A mother comes to the rescue, finds her daughter has eaten six seeds of the dark fruit, pomegranate seeds that crunched between the girl’s teeth, red juice running from her lips.

And the mother’s world, the whole wide world, is changed.

My name’s Shelby Waters, and you don’t know me, and you might not ever want to know me because I’m a searcher. I’m the one you call when someone you love goes missing. Yes, of course you call the cops first, and you should. But once the cop is gone with his report and the profile of what went down rising up in his mind, and you’ve got nothing left but worry and waiting for the phone to ring, you call me.

And I listen to your sorrows and fears and speculations. And you, like everyone who’s missing someone, hope for the best and fear the worst. That’s a hard line to walk. So I step in and I look at your pictures, letters, whatever fragments you might have that belong or relate to the one you’ve lost. I try to fill in the gaps between what you think might have happened, what you fear might have happened, and what did go down and how it went. And while I’m figuring the story, I’m doing my best to make you feel you can stand and walk, and no matter what happens, you can go on and live.

In 1848, the Fox Sisters stunned family and neighbors in upstate New York by appearing to be able to communicate with the dead. Many people became believers, enough that the girls’ performances eventually gave birth to the American Spiritualist movement.

Based on this true story, critically acclaimed novelist Deborah Noyes has crafted another authentic and masterful tale about wounded hearts seeking reprieve. clara Gill is a recluse of a certain age. In her youth, she fell in love with a charming and handsome young zoo keeper in London. The tragic end of their affair has devastated clara, and brought such ruin on her family, that they had to immigrate to the United States, where she remains largely house-bound, just a whisper of the person she once was.

When Maggie Fox becomes her housemaid, lonely clara is immediately drawn to Maggie’s boldness and also to the mystery surrounding her. Skeptical as she is about Maggie’s powers, clara is nonetheless secretly hoping that she might reconnect with her lost lover.

In this powerful and in the end deeply moving tale, Deborah Noyes brings us in to the cramped rooms and dusty memories that are clara Gill’s life; into the chaotic, troubling, and exotic days (and nights) that now dominate Maggie Fox’s; into the sliver of light between real and unreal, hope and despair; and into a love story all about second chances.

”in the end captivity is as much about freedom as it is about love and as elegantly written and beautifully told as it may be, the reading of it still cuts like a knife...”—bookslut

deborah noyes is the author of Angel and Apostle as well as numerous

acclaimed books for younger readers, including The Ghosts of Kerfol

and Encyclopedia of the End. she lives in Massachusetts with her family.

“The strengths of A Geography of Secrets merit serious attention, as does Frederick Reuss. May Geography bring him, and his work, the accolades they deserve.” —PopMatters.com

“Deeply evocative … often beautiful … will engage thoughtful readers with both the author’s characters and his ideas.” —Booklist

"An understated but masterly work for fans of cosmopolitan, contemplative,contemporary prose.” —Library Journal

“As the diplomats in Graham Greene novels make clear, government middle-managers involved in life-and-death decisions suffer torments all their own, and Reuss has a gift for evoking the existential tensions that give Greene novels their intellectual heft. Reuss brings a few twists to that brand of anti-thriller, too … Reuss is particularly skilled at describing the scrim of spook culture that coats the entire D.c. area ... and he convincingly lays out the Heller-esque bureaucracies that seem engineered to squash dissent … Faced with a structure so dehumanizing, Reuss argues, it’s no wonder we keep secrets—it’s a hobby of sorts, a way of taking the business of being our more human selves elsewhere.” —Washington City Paper

“A thoughtful, beautifully written novel by Washington writer Frederick Reuss that tells the story of two men—a defense analyst and a mapmaker—and their struggle with the secrets that define them.

… A Geography of Secrets has the texture and snap of a modern-day Graham Greene novel, painting a world in which even the smallest choices have devastating consequences—and where, as one character tells us, “Secrets don't keep, they putrefy.” —The Washington Post

“Rollicking … fast-paced … Addiego is a brave writer, eschewing minimalism and cynicism, dashing ahead with reported narrative that dares to be, in all sincerity, about the hope and promise of the West.”

—The Oregonian

“The cast of characters is fascinating, each one helping to move the tale forward…well-written with historically accurate information regarding california’s early settlement, the Gold Rush, and the Bear Rebellion that led to adding the california territory to the United States … difficult to put down; Addiego is a talented writer who has composed an exceptional story that will linger in my thoughts for some time. I look forward to reading his next book.”

—Historical Novels Review

“[This] often fascinating novel combines the genres of sweeping epic, personal discovery, and murder mystery, all of which unfold in the course of a single day … a worthwhile read.” —Booklist

PRAISE FOR DAVID BAJO“Atmospheric, heady, and absorbing, this novel operates on the borders between memory and vision, between observer and observed, between the real and the spectral—and proves those borders shifting and traversable. Watch closely.” — Jedediah berry, author of The Manual of Detection

“Thought provoking and intense…As I got further into the story, and figured out what was going on, I couldn't put the book down because I had to know the why of it all.”—2010theyearinbooks.com

“I started this at work one day on my break, and it was a mistake, because I truly struggled to put it down. This book was definitely gripping and a fast read.“—reading on a rainy day

“Panopticon is an entrancing, intelligent literary thriller. This beautifully written novel explores

“digital omniscience“ (as Bajo puts it), and skillfully observes the connection between the observed and those doing the observing. I have found myself recommending Panopticon to fans of the bestselling journalistic thrillers of Stieg Larsson ...“—largehearted boy
