Agamemnon's Daughter
A Novella and Stories
Ismail Kadare
2006 Edition
From the winner of the first Man Booker International Prize comes a crushing story of love taken away without warning and shattered by the icy wheels of the state.

New York Sun
Agamemnon’s Daughter finds explicit resonances between the rule of Hoxha and that of Homeric heroes. . . . Kadare is a master of this kind of storytelling, in which events wait for radical interpretations. He cycles through the same events, gaining ideas, until an originally stiff conceit turns translucent. . . . Once again, Mr. Kadare shows communism not to be a new terror but instead a perversion of the profoundest dimensions. In comparison, the murderous generations of Albanian... cont'd


Allan, Burning
A Novel
Donald Everett Axinn
2008 Edition
Allan Daniels's life is in crisis—triple crisis, in fact—but is there any way out?



Altered Land
Jules Hardy
2002 Edition
How do you cope when your innocent world is blown apart on your thirteenth birthday? A haunting novel about deep relationships, self-reliance, and survival.

Lynne Zielinski - Huntsville Times
I am eternally altered . . . by this strange and lovely book. . . . Altered Landis a shattering story of a mother and son mutilated by a bomb explosion. . . . It is a lyrical masterpiece. It is too lovely, too surreal to give in snippets. It must be read.


The Ascent of Eli Israel
And Other Stories
Jon Papernick
2002 Edition
A profoundly unsettling collection of tales of Americans caught up in the ethnic, religious, social, economic, and political conflicts of modern day Israel, by an astonishing new voice.

Publisher’s Weekly(starred review)
Papernick was a reporter in Israel after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, and he offers unique insight into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in these seven powerful stories, which approach violent coexistence from unusual angles. . . . It is Papernick’s sense of the surreal, his dark humor and his consciousness of the deep roots of Jewish and Muslim culture that distinguish this collection.


Babel
A Kathy and Brock Mystery
Barry Maitland
2003 Edition
Scotland Yard's brilliant crime-solving duo, Kathy Kolla and David Brock, take on an unsettling new case that touches on the timeliest of issues, Arab fundamentalism, genetic engineering, and murder.

Booklist
Maitland is in no way guilty of producing a stereotypical 'ripped from the headlines' novel; rather, he offers a subtle exploration of the differences between cultures, framed as a ripping good mystery. Fans of the series will not be disappointed.


Balthasar's Odyssey
Amin Maalouf
2002 Edition
An ambitious, stunning new novel by Goncourt Prize–winner Amin Maalouf, set in the tumultuous, fateful Year of the Beast.

Publishers Weekly
Maalouf has considerable success using cultural details to create an authentic atmosphere, and the novel effectively captures the flavor and spirit of 17th-century Europe.


The Bay of Love and Sorrows
A Novel
David Adams Richards
2003 Edition
From the award –winning author of Mercy Among the Children comes another stunning novel – an unflinching and hard-hitting tale of ambition and betrayal.

Alistair MacLeod, author of No Great Mischief and Island: The Complete Stories
David Adams Richards is one of the exceptional writers of our time.


Bibliophilia
A Novella and Stories
Michael Griffith
2003 Edition
A scintillating new work of fiction by the author of Spikes, which the Houston Chronicle called “A devilish book, by turns gut-wrenching, philosophical, dazzlingly beautiful, and as hilarious as anything recently published.”

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Prose as jam-packed as early Pynchon. . . . A vast catalog of history, sadness, and love.


Big Breasts & Wide Hips
A Novel
Mo Yan
2004 Edition
In his latest novel, Mo Yan, arguably China's most important contemporary literary voice, recreates the historical sweep and earthy exuberance of his much acclaimed novel Red Sorghum

Elle
Mo Yan’s majestic magic-realist style has been compared to that of Gabriel García Marquez . . Epic . . . narrated with huge heart and astounding sweep.


The Boxer
A Novel
Jurek Becker
2002 Edition
The powerful, deeply moving story of a man’s search for his son in the aftermath of the Holocaust, written with the understated elegance that brought Jurek Becker worldwide acclaim.

Tom LeClair - Book Magazine
Narrated with Kafkaesque flatness and developed with a Beckettian obsessiveness, the book is a remarkably subtle and artfully combative study of post-traumatic persistence. It's impossible to understand why it has not been translated before now.
