A Voyage to the Island of the Articoles by Andre Maurois
This rediscovered fantasy novella by one of the greatest biographers of the 20th century was written in the same year as Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa. It tells the story of a couple who become shipwrecked on a South Seas Island and discover a race of people who are literary zealots. This lyrical and droll book is a favorite of Alberto Manguel and Gianna Guadalupi who mention it in their extraordinary Baedecker for mental traveling, The Dictionary of Imaginary Places.
Broken Irish, by Edward J. Delaney
Grand Prize Winner of the 2011 New England Book Festival, and the only small press book published in 2011 to be granted starred reviews in all four major review journals — Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and Booklist — Broken Irish was named one of the Best Books of the Year by Michael Patrick Brady who reviewed it for the Boston Globe and by Robert Birnbaum who reviewed it for The Morning News / Identity Theory blog.
This new novel by the winner of both the PEN/Winship Award and the O.Henry Prize is told in tight, intertwined, heart-wrenching chapters. "Edward J. Delaney delicately shows how a single generation can unravel a heritage. Set on the edge of the 21st century in South Boston, Delaney's cast struggles to find their dreams in a world that's left traditions behind, and to some degree corrupted itself. An entire community is on the brink. Hope is the only hope. And faith cannot scrub the grime off its hands. With Broken Irish, Delaney delivers a gripping epic." — Adam Braver
The Wilshire Sun, by Joshua Baldwin
A book full of dynamic, slyly original language and off-kilter imagery The Wilshire Sun may remind readers of the improbable meeting of James Thurber and Tao Lin. This masterly paced work with its riffs and epistolary matter offers a delightfully absurd portrait of the young artist for our time. James Frey wrote of Baldwin, "He has a voice that follows the mirage even after it disappears. The Wilshire Sun is a surreal, giddily original debut that plumbs the myth of Los Angeles."
By Myself: An Autobiography, by D.A. Powell and David Trinidad
If there were an award for Chapbook of the Year it would surely be given to By Myself: An Autobiography. In the spirit of Goethe's comment, "One is never satisfied with the portrait of a person one knows," two celebrated poets, D.A. Powell and David Trinidad, have collaborated to create a perfect portrait of an unknown star in 300 lines by taking one sentence from each of 300 celebrity autobiographies. The result is poignant, poetic and hilarious — a perfect and imperishable performance.
Wild Punch, by Creston Lea
Wild Punch is an intense, nimble, and flat-out tough debut collection that portrays loss and honesty in subtle daily revelations.
"Get this book in print so I can give copies to everyone I know." — Dorothy Allison
Artists' Wives, by Alphonse Daudet
Turtle Point Press has rediscovered and made available as an e-book a little known collection of short stories by the once celebrated author of Lettres de Mon Moulin, Alphonse Daudet. Daudet is master of understated humor and he has an unerring eye for the competition between husband and wife. Fragility and faithfulness, fame and gossip take on whole new meanings in stories which at times are written in parallel texts and have an almost postmodern feel to their highly original presentation.
Available as an e-book only.
Four Tales by Zélide
Three psychologically astute 18th century stories that anticipate later ideas of emancipation.
What Never Die, by Barbara D'Aurevilly
D'Aurevilly was according to Paul Bourget, "a dreamer with an exquisite vision." What Never Dies, translated by Oscar Wilde while he was in exile in Paris, introduces us to Camilla, daughter of the Countess de Scudemor, the author's most winsome creation.
Going Somewhere, by Max Ewing
A frivolous masterpiece set in New York, Paris and London in the Twenties starring Princesse Angele de Villfranche, Comtesse Fervante de Contrecoeur, Pisa Barteau and Napier Knightsbridge.
All Aboard, by Joe Ashby Porter
Venturing into new, sometimes unprecedented territory, from the luxe restraint of Merrymount through the stops-out eroticism of Pending, and the distilled heebie-jeebies of Dream On.
Earthquake, by Susan Barnes
Earthquake, with its visually acute, roguish, and intimate reflections of a girl’s childhood spent in Alaska and outside of Boston, is a novella in three parts. It is a tiny, humane and quietly humorous tale of a thoroughly unconventional girlhood.
Lord Of Dark Places, by Hal Bennett
A detective story, a black comedy, a tragedy, Lord of Dark Places, thirty-five years out of print, is a dissertation on the histories and stereotypes that conspire to man and to unman Black Americans by a Faulkner Award-winning writer.
Collected Tales and Fantasies, by Lord Berners
Here is a delightful collection of short fiction by the quirky, off-beat writer and composer Lord Berners. The volume includes the following novels: Percy Wallingford, The Camel, Mr. Pidger, Count Omega, The Romance of a Nose, and Far from the Madding War.
An On Demand Title
The Green Parrot, by Princess Marthe Bibesco
“A strange and beautiful story, with the faintly arid charm of a miniature painted on the cover of a seventeenth-century snuff box.”—The New York Times
Excitable Women, Damaged Men, by Robert Boyers
“Rage in all its ugly glory takes center stage in this delectable debut...Boyers's stories about academics and art-lovers who hide their more ignoble characteristics until life inevitably draws them out are exquisitely crafted and acutely observed.”—Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
The Scapegoat, by Jocelyn Brooke
“Mr. Brooke is a great writer...if you care enough for literature you should seek out The Scapegoat.”—Elizabeth Bowen
“For a book written when and where it was, The Scapegoat is almost unbelievably subversive and kinky...I can think of few books as erotically and dramatically charged.”—Peter Cameron
