Leaving Eastern Parkway

Leaving Eastern Parkway

By Matthew Daub

“Zev’s story is filled with memorable characters and hard-won wisdom, and the Yiddish and Hebrew that appear throughout lend authenticity. (A glossary will help those who don’t know a mitzvah from a mikvah.) It adds up to a surprisingly universal coming-of-age novel about being true to oneself in a world that demands otherwise.”

Listening for Ghosts

Listening for Ghosts

By David Rabe

“Rabe’s portrait is multi-dimensional and engaging…he reveals himself to be as gifted a novelist as he is a playwright…Above all, Girl By the Road At Night is a modern tragedy in which the war…becomes a metaphor for cruelty and injustice, for fate itself…a masterpiece of compression.”
—Philip Caputo, New York Times Book Review

Little Miseries

Little Miseries: This Is Not a Story About My Childhood.

By Kimberly Olson Fakih

“The book … shows how catastrophic the secret world of grown-ups can truly be on the delicate web that is a family … it shows Fakih as a gifted chronicler of children’s helplessness and familial angst.”

Third Girl from the Left

Third Girl from the Left

By Christine Barker

“Third Girl from the Left is a beautifully written memoir of life on the Broadway stage at the onset of the 1980s AIDS epidemic. This compelling, and remarkably hopeful story is particularly relevant now. With uncompromising truth, Christine Barker makes tangible the unraveling of dreams, as she dances in A Chorus Line while her older brother, Laughlin, together with his life partner Perry Ellis, builds the designer’s fashion business. Time is an enemy and choices dwindle as the author is an eyewitness to a disaster that shapes her future even as it claims the lives of men she loves.”
—Mara Liasson, National Political Correspondent, NPR
