MIT Press Hannibal Lecter My Father
Book SynopsisA collection of early and not-so-early work by the mistress of gut-level fiction-making.You can say I write stories with sex and violence and therefore my writing isn't worth considering because it uses content much less lots of content. Well, I tell you this: 'Prickly race, who know nothing except how to eat out your hearts with envy, you don't eat cunt'... Edited by Sylvere Lotringer and published in 1991, this handy, pocket-sized collection of some early and not-so-early work by the mistress of gut-level fiction-making, Hannibal Lecter, My Father gathers together Acker's raw, brilliant, emotional and cerebral texts from 1970s, including the self-published 'zines written under the nom-de-plume, The Black Tarantula.

Flipped Eye Publishing Limited Breathe
Book SynopsisBreathe is a collection that explores the heart of Fidel Castro-era Cuba; an outsider's look that is balanced by a weight of empathy to illuminate truths that lie couched between the island's propaganda and the Western media's portrayal. As Aida Bahr says, relying more on subtleties than on drama, [Segal] portrays... Cubans' lives.Trade Review'[A] frank and wonderfully observed collection of short stories.' - Jacob Ross; 'Beautifully written stories with a rare truthfulness to them.' - Hinrich von Haaren; 'Crisp, attentive and lyrical prose - a compelling portrait of Cuba.' - Karen McCarthy Woolf; 'Segal cares deeply about language, artfully blends poetry and story, and, above all, makes you feel.' - Niki Aguirre

Phaeton Publishing Limited Extremely Entertaining Short Stories
Book SynopsisWonderful, forgotten, short stories by the man John Galsworthy described as 'one of the best short-story writers of all time.' Some are hilarious, some poignant; among them - long out of print until now - is the story James Hilton named his 'favourite short story.' Many are about World War I and its aftermath. All make compulsive reading.Trade Review' - The recently published collection of Aumonier's 'Extremely Entertaining Short Stories' has certainly helped bring this overlooked talent to a new audience. Aumonier's stories are not only hilarious, full of wit and genuine warmth for his subjects, but also beautifully constructed insights into the various absurdities of human behaviour, be it in the drawing rooms of London high society or the trenches of World War I.' - BBC RADIO 4 PROGRAMMES, 2011. [ - Stories from this book were selected for AFTERNOON READING programmes on BBC Radio 4 during 2011.] ' - in England, my first trip there in 25 years - I bought the new Phaeton collection of 'Extremely Entertaining Short Stories' by Stacy Aumonier - Back now in New York, it's a heavy volume to cart back and forth as subway reading, but it's well worth the weight!' - Margaret Heilbrun, LIBRARY JOURNAL, NEW YORK, 2009. ' - a very elegant volume - short stories that invite comparison with those of Saki, O.Henry and even Guy de Maupassant.' - BOOKS IRELAND. ' - a great holiday read.' - BRENTANO'S, PARIS. 'Forgotten Author, Stacy Aumonier - , like O.Henry and Saki, could condense a life into a few pages. - In the 1920s, he became unrivalled as a short story writer. - Perfect with a hot toddy on a cold night.' - Christopher Fowler, THE INDEPENDENT, London, 2011. 'Stacy Aumonier is one of the best short story writers of all time. His humour is sly and dry and frequent - And can't he write!' - John Galsworthy (winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature). 'I think his very best works ought to be included in any anthology of the best short stories ever written.' - James Hilton (author of 'Goodbye Mr Chips,' and 'Lost Horizon'), 1939.
