Happy pub day to Alex Behr for her second story collection with us, ANIMAL KINGDOM, our 39th (!) book. Kirkus calls it "fierce, funny, biting" and "honest and compelling." Get it now where you get your books! #indie #shortstories #fiction

Happy pub day to 7.13 Books #38 and @jihoon_park94 for his debut novel STICKMAN.
Tope Folarin calls it "haunting." I call it a surreal and deadpan exploration of alienation, masculinity, and what it means to be Asian American in late capitalism.
BUY IT!

My new novel Grand Tour challenges this trend--it's about a highly educated person who is vaguely unhappy in MULTIPLE major cities.
A disturbing amount of contemporary literary fiction can be summarized as “a highly educated person in a major city is vaguely unhappy about something.”

Happy pub day to @MattWForeman for the US edition of SUNSET AT LION ROCK, a coming-of-age novel set during the lead up to the 2019 pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Aube Rey Lescure calls it “…a virtuosic, kaleidoscopic insider’s tale...”
Get it now!

Happy book birthday to @RaeCline11622's PRECIOUS UGLY (@713Books), which brings lyricism and brutality into such close proximity, making a story of poverty, zealotry, violence, and resilience feel at once intimate, harrowing, and fiercely alive.

Thank you to Alban Fischer for this amazing cover for my forthcoming novel Stickman, about a Korean American Uber driver's obsession with a classmate-turned-school shooter (based off of the Virginia Tech Shooter); and thank you to @lcheuk/@713Books for publishing my first book!

“Humanity’s reliance on absolutism seems to be a degenerate response to a natural, legitimate—perhaps even say hardwired—desire for ‘answers.’” @lcheuk talks absolutism and Norse gods with Kurt Baumeister, on the occasion of his new novel. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Today is pub day for THE MORGUE KEEPER by Ruyan Meng, 7.13 Books #35. Asian Review of Books calls it “devastating.”
Karissa Chen, bestselling author of HOMESEEKING, calls it “chilling” and “Kafkaesque.”
It’s a cautionary tale for authoritarian times.
