THE ENTIRE PREDICAMENT
Stories by Lucy Corin
Introduction by Pam Houston
October 2007
Lucy Corin’s daring debut story collection leads the reader through a world where characters behave normally in the most extreme situations and bizarrely with almost no provocation at all.

—Kelly Link, author of Magic for Beginners

—Pam Houston, author of Sight Hound |

OVENMAN
A novel by Jeff Parker
Introduction by Sam Lipsyte
September 2007
Skateboarder, restaurant worker, and punk rocker wannabe, the antihero of Jeff Parker’s uproariously funny debut novel adds a new twist to the classic coming-of-age story. When Thinfinger, a ne’er-do-well with a slightly tarnished heart of gold, relies on Post-it notes to help him make sense of the chaos and momentum of his life: a girlfriend who dreams he murders her, a long lost Biodad who writes letters filled with lies, a televised war that is over before it has even begun, and a robbery he can’t remember committing.
“Ovenman is a welcome addition to the literature of the lovably hapless by a young writer with talent to burn.”
—George Saunders, author of Pastoralia and In Persuasion Nation
“This novel really cooks. Read it tonight.”
—Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Corpus Christi: Stories |

“Mary Otis sees things from the odd angle, which is the literary one. It makes her stories true-to-life, funny, brave, and amazing.”
—Lorrie Moore, author of Birds of America
