The Essential Rebecca West
Rebecca West
Price: $14.95
ISBN: 978-0-9802355-5-5
An exciting new selection of previously uncollected short pieces from Rebecca West, this book also includes an extract from West's posthumously published masterpiece, Survivors in Mexico. This series of essays and reviews will introduce the curious reader to one of the greatest minds of modern times, while giving scholars important new material to digest. Impressive in breadth, exhilarating in depth, West's intelligent curiosity takes on Montezuma, Winston Churchill, Vladimir Nabokov, and Aldous Huxley, as well as love, war, pride, politics, and cats. Most of the pieces were plucked from the vast Rebecca West archive at the University of Tulsa. Essays include a searingly vivid description of living in wartime Britain, an exploration of the novelist's craft, and an investigation into the disconcerting nature of cats. At every turn, West brings a razor-sharp wit and a clear-eyed perspective to her subject. |

The Five Lost Days
William Petrick
Price: $14.95
ISBN: 978-0-9802355-0-0
Struggling documentary producer Michael Burns has traveled to the remote Maya Mountains of Belize to capture exclusive footage of the last surviving curandero. The traditional Mayan healer may hold the key to discovering new medicines among the vast, uncharted flora of the rain forest. But with a violent civil war spilling across the border from neighboring Guatemala, and Burns inexplicably drawn to the aging curandero's American apprentice, the filmmakers stumble into a more explosive story than they ever could have imagined. At once an adventure and an exploration into the nature of perception, The Five Lost Days exposes the clash between modern culture and ancient beliefs. |

Video Vérité and Other Stories
William Petrick
Price: $12.95
ISBN: 978-0-9802355-3-1
In our media-saturated world, the line between reality and fiction has grown thinner and more confusing. With sharp, clear prose and an insider's view of the media, Petrick's stories take us into a hall of mirrors where men and women struggle to understand themselves and their relationships with one another. In a climate defined by images, does love stand a chance when no one is certain what is real? In the title story, an accomplished skydiver goes airborne with a video camera to capture the love of his life, but a small oversight upends his best intentions. In "Sins of the Father," a man arriving in Huntsville, Texas, to commute his son's death sentence clashes with a documentary producer intent on chasing the story to its bitter end. In "Telling Time," a corporate video producer, conflicted by his own immoral conduct, learns that sometimes the absolute truth is the most effective lie. |
