	EROTOMANIA: A Romance a novel by Francis Levy August 2008 "The book's raw but thoughtful carnality comes off as at once serious, clever and crude in sending up the absurdities of contemporary hookings-up. It's not a traditional love story, but debut novelist Levy puts thought and genuine feeling behind all the doings." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY- "This is absolutely the only novel of its kind ever written. It breaks new ground on every page. An obsessive phantasmagoria of sex and longing, it manages to be wildly original, clever and hilarious, a tour de force that defies expectation and interpretation. Bukowski and Henry Miller are among its forebears, but Erotomania goes where even Miller and Bukowski never dared to go." -DAVID EVANIER- Erotomania traces the development of James and Monica, from a couple that is forced to move to a nuclear fall-out bunker so their explosive sex life doesn't physically harm their neighbors, to James' one-night bout with alcoholism, to Monica's sexually-fueled obsession wtih abstractionist expressionism, to marriage counseling, to a new-found reliance on reality television and microwaveable meals.

	BENEATH THE PINES a novel by Janet Beard September 2008 "Janet Beard weaves a rich tale of family ties lost and rediscovered, hearts broken and mended, and secrets with the power to imprison - or set her characters free. Beneath the Pines is a thoroughly engaging read by an enormously gifted storyteller." -JULIE MARS Beneath the Pines examines a Southern family's conflicting values about sex, religion, and the past. In 1957, Mary Alice McDonnell was a rebellious teenager in love with a rich Yankee boy, Michael Harrison, who had just moved to her small Virginia mountain town - much to the chagrin of her strict, God-fearing mother, Lavinia. By 2004, Mary Alice has become a sixty-three year old, spinster Biology teacher who hasn't spoken to her mother in over forty years. When Lavinia dies, Mary Alice's graduate-student niece, Claire, inherits the family house and moves to Virginia, bringing along a deep curiosity about her family's dark past, as well as news of the long-lost Michael Harrison - and plenty of emotional baggage of her own.

	CRUST a novel by Lawrence Shainberg October 2008 "Crust is unique. I know of no other novel remotely like it. The first words that come to mind are daring, daunting, irreligious in the extreme, an academic send-up and a grasp with no small grin of the essential mindlessness and urge to power that besets humans and creates new ventures. It's wild as sin and revolting as vomit and as exceptional as the lower reaches of insanity itself." -NORMAN MAILER- "Incredible... One of the most perverse and single-minded satires I've ever read." -JONATHAN LETHEM- Walter Linchuk is an aged writer and author of the Complete Series (The Complete Book of Aids, 9/11, Terrorism) whose name has often been discussed as a strong possibility for the Nobel Prize, suffering from a seven month plague of writer's block that New York Magazine says, "for candor and anguish, surpasses any we have on record." One morning Linchuk wakes to find a crust in his nose - the "definitive crust of his life" - that awakens him to a new world of desire and enlightenment. What ensues is a comedic, Orwellian journey through our hyper-technological age, where everyone has a blog, where media endorsements mean everything, where entire societal movements are determined by chess players at major corporations, where MIT professors debate the tenants of Nasalism, where even our most natural desires can be turned into drugs and patented.

	I SMILE BACK a novel by Amy Koppelman December 2008 Praise for Amy Koppelman's debut novel, A Mouthful of Air: "A smart, sensitive first novel." -ELLE- "...this new writer should definitely be considered a rising star." -THE BOSTON HERALD- "Koppelman's prose is as spare and powerful as poetry." -ST. PETERSBURG TIMES- In the follow-up to her acclaimed debut, which drew comparisons from critics to The Bell Jar and The Awakening, Amy Koppelman delivers an unrestrained portrait of a modern suburban woman. Laney Brooks acts out. Married with kids, she takes the drugs she wants, sleeps with the men she wants, disappears when she wants. Lurking beneath Laney's composed surface is the destructive impulse to follow in the footsteps of her father, to leave and topple her family's balance in the process. [More coming soon.]
	THE SHANGHAI GESTURE a novel by Gary Indiana Spring 2009 Praise for Gary Indiana: "One reads Mr. Indiana's . . . work with astonishment at his talent, and astonishment at the absurdist bleakness, the alienating nihilism, of his vision." -Richard Bernstein, NEW YORK TIMES "He is without doubt one of the most important chroniclers of the modern psyche, and in particular its American manifestation, writing today." -Alex Clark, LONDON GUARDIAN
	NOG a novel by Rudolph Wurlitzer Spring 2009 Praise for Nog: "Nog is to literature what Dylan is to lyrics." -Jack Newfield, VILLAGE VOICE "Somewhere between Psychedelic Superman and Samuel Beckett . . . the book is an accomplishment." -NEWSWEEK "The Novel of Bullshit is dead." -Thomas Pynchon
