The Charlatans of Paradise

by Arthur Joyce

ISBN 1-894842-07-3           $16.00

 

    “Joyce sees elements of both despair and salvation in contemporary society in this beautifully produced volume… His ability to recapture nature in minute detail is his forte. Moving, original metaphors make for lines that arouse and vivify.” - R.W. Meyer, The New Orphic Review

 

    “Joyce’s poems—unlike the supposed poetry being funded by taxpayers across this country—are fierce, clearly relevant, to be read and heard by this impassively deceived age.” - Chad Norman

Kafka: The Master of Yesno

by Ernest Hekkanen

ISBN 1-894842-09-X           $25.00

  

  In this critical study of Franz Kafka and his work, Hekkanen debunks many of the myths which have flourishes since the time of the great Prague writer’s death in 1924.

     Hekkanen’s portrait of Kafka isn’t as charitable as those provided by Ernst Pawel, Ronald Hayman, Max Broad, and a number of other enthusiasts; and the criticism he levels at Kafka’s oeuvre runs contrary to the praise heaped on it by scholars who have turned Kafka into an industry at universities around the world.

Many Kinds of Stories

by Hillel Wright

ISBN 1-894842-01-4         $20.00

 

    “Wright manages to spin a narrative line taut enough to keep us turning the pages.”                          David Cozy, Kyoto Journal

 

    “Hillel Wright’s ‘A Borges Trilogy’ is a sophisticated homage to the Argentine genius.”  

                        Tom Sandborn, X-Tra West

 

    “One memorable story is ‘Early Retirement,’ in many ways a metaphor for personal responsibility.”

                         Jim Bennett, New Hope International Review On-line
