The Curators
A Novel
Maggie Nye
“A tale of obsession within the collective, The Curators is a fearful, splendid debut that is both eerie and elegant in its telling.”—Justin Torres, winner of the National Book Award
The Backwards Hand
A Memoir
Matt Lee
“The Backwards Hand is a book like no other I know. With trancelike lyricism, deep vulnerability, provocative humor, and wide-ranging research, Matt Lee brilliantly complicates commonly held beliefs about disability. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read and recommended this book. I’m obsessed.” —Jeannie Vanasco, author of Things We Didn’t Talk about When I Was a Girl
A Small Apocalypse
Stories
Laura Chow Reeve
“A Small Apocalypse is queer Florida at its absolute finest. Laura Chow Reeve has written a group of stories that astonish, mesmerize, and amaze in equal measure. I enjoyed every moment. A smashing collection!” — Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth
