MARLON JAMESA Brief History of Seven KillingsPeopled with assassins, journalists, drug dealers, and ghosts, this lyrical epic from the author of The Book of Night Women presents a fictional exploration of the attempted as-sassination of Bob Marley in the late 1970s, transporting readers from the slums of 1970s Kingston to the crack wars of 1980s New York to a radically altered Jamaica in the 1990s.“A prismatic story of gang violence and Cold War politics in a turbulent post-indepen-dence Jamaica.”—The New YorkerRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 704 PAGES • 978-1-59463-394-2 • $17.00

PHIL KLAY Redeployment“Klay—a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who served in Iraq during the surge—gives the civilian reader a visceral feeling for what it is like to be a soldier in a combat zone, and what it is like to return home, still reeling from the dislocations of war. Gritty, unsparing and fiercely observed, these stories leave us with a harrowing sense of the war in Iraq as it was experienced, day by day.”—The New York Times PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 304 PAGES • 978-0-14-312682-9 • $16.00NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER

ROSS RITCHELLThe Knife“[Ritchell] uses personal experience to write a novel that paints war as a complicated, exhausting, gut-wrenching ordeal….In 2014, the short stories in Phil Klay’s Redeploy-ment were heralded as some of the most authentic wartime writing in our ever-changing post-9/11 world. In 2015, The Knife...deserves the same praise.”—Chicago Tribune“Reminiscent of...The Things They Carried…[The Knife is] the best novel yet about life at the point of the knife, in these times of overlapping foreign wars.”—NPR BLUE RIDER PRESS HARDCOVER • 272 PAGES • 978-0-399-17340-0 • $25.95

LORIN STEIN, editorThe Unprofessionals New American Writing from the Paris ReviewAn energetic collection celebrating the writers at the forefront of today’s literary world, featuring stories, essays, and poems from the Paris Review by Zadie Smith, Emma Cline, John Jeremiah Sullivan, Ben Lerner, Ottessa Moshfegh, Benjamin Nugent, and others. “A new generation of writers is...keeping American literature alive [and] restoring the ex-citement....The Paris Review…is at the forefront of the renaissance.”—Jonathan FranzenPENGUIN PAPERBACK • 304 PAGES • 978-0-14-312847-2 • $16.00

KAREN JOY FOWLERBlack Glass: Short Fictions First published in 1998 and now reissued with the addition of a prefatory essay, Black Glass showcases the extraordinary talents of “one of the most accomplished and most adroit fiction writers in America” (Los Angeles Review of Books) in fifteen gemlike tales.“Highly imaginative….In fine-edged and discerning prose, [Fowler] manages to re-create both life’s extraordinary and its ordinary magic.”—The New York Times Book ReviewPUTNAM HARDCOVER • 304 PAGES • 978-0-399-17579-4 • $27.95

MO YANFrogTRANSLATED BY HOWARD GOLDBLATT

The author of Red Sorghum returns with his first major work since winning the Nobel Prize: a sweeping history of modern China through the lens of the nation’s one-child policy. “An expansive, fascinating cultural-political history…[that gives] a sense of how China and rural Northern Gaomi (Yan’s hometown) have changed, almost beyond description, from Maoist times to the current hyper-capitalistic phase.”—Independent (UK)VIKING HARDCOVER • 480 PAGES • 978-0-525-42798-8 • $27.95PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 400 PAGES • 978-0-14-312838-0 • $17.00PAPERBACK AVAILABLE JANUARY 2016

J. M. COETZEE and ARABELLA KURTZThe Good Story: Exchanges on Truth, Fiction and PsychotherapyDrawing on great writers like Cervantes and Dostoevsky and psychoanalysts like Freud and Melanie Klein, Coetzee and Kurtz explore the human capacity for self-examination through a fascinating dialogue about psychotherapy and the art of storytelling. “Coetzee’s writing is characteristically spare and penetrating....Kurtz proves both a lucid expositor and an evocative literary stylist, bringing psychoanalytic ideas and practices to life with rare precision and immediacy.”—Literary ReviewVIKING HARDCOVER • 208 PAGES • 978-0-525-42951-7 • $27.95

DAVID ATTWELLJ. M. Coetzee and the Life of WritingFace-to-Face with TimeIn this biography and literary study, Attwell draws on Coetzee’s manuscripts, notebooks, and research papers to explore the creative processes behind the Nobel Laureate’s novels. “[A] highly readable and...insightful account of the processes through which some of the greatest novels of our time came into being.”—Derek Attridge, University of York VIKING HARDCOVER • 272 PAGES • 978-0-525-42961-6 • $27.95

WILLIAM T. VOLLMANN Last Stories and Other Stories“Mysterious, magical…nightmarish, beautiful….Vollmann is an exquisite magician of a baroque stylistic obscurity….These troubled, voluptuous narratives are deeply concerned with the bewildering effects of trauma and loss.”—The New York Times Book Review“A phantasmagoric book, blending bits of Lovecraft and Dreiser, David Foster Wallace and Scheherazade, Poe and the Brothers Grimm.”—The New York TimesPENGUIN PAPERBACK • 704 PAGES • 978-0-14-312756-7 • $22.00ALSO OF INTEREST: The Dying Grass • VIKING HARDCOVER • 978-0-670-01598-6 • $55.00

WILLIAM GIBSONThe Peripheral“A piece of trenchant, far-future speculation that features all the eyeball kicks of Neuro-mancer and all the maturity and sly wit of Spook Country....Brilliant.”—Cory Doctorow“[Gibson’s] eye for the eerie in the everyday…lends events an otherworldly sheen.”—The New YorkerBERKLEY PAPERBACK • 496 PAGES • 978-0-425-27623-5 • $17.00

JUAN GABR IEL VÁSQUEZLovers on All Saints’ Day: StoriesTRANSLATED BY ANNE McLEAN

In these seven stories, the author of The Sound of Things Falling explores themes of love and memory. Set in Europe—the site of Vásquez’s 16-year self-imposed exile from his native Columbia—this collection features work never before published in English. “[A] pervading atmosphere of melancholy, mists, and rural isolation: it is this that gives the collection its powerful sense of coherence and unity….A testimony to the early, dark brilliance of Vásquez’s writing.”—Sunday Times (UK)RIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 256 PAGES • 978-1-59463-426-0 • $27.95

DANIEL GALERABlood-Drenched BeardTRANSLATED BY ALISON ENTREKIN

From Brazil’s acclaimed young novelist comes the story of how a troubled young man’s restorative seaside journey becomes a violent struggle with his family’s history. “Superbly executed....Superstition, rumor, and illusion filter into reality in a way remi-niscent of Gabriel García Márquez....The exciting, action-packed culmination...reveal[s] what happened…without answering away the eerie mysteries.”—The Wall Street JournalPENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 384 PAGES • 978-1-59420-574-3 • $26.95

NAOMI JACKSONThe Star Side of Bird Hill“From Maryse Condé to Edwidge Danticat to Tiphanie Yanique, contemporary Carib-bean writers have produced an exquisite literature of diaspora and affirmation….Now Naomi Jackson joins their ranks with…a serious yet effervescent debut that showcases three generations of women as they grapple with conflict and loss during the fateful sum-mer of 1989.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Jackson’s evocative, lyrical writing…makes Barbados come to life.”—NPRPENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 304 PAGES • 978-1-59420-595-8 • $25.95

TANWI NANDIN I ISLAMBright Lines“[A] queer coming-of-age, a study of how much work it is to be a family, and a snapshot of a disappearing Brooklyn, set against the ghosts of the past, and a search for home.”—NPR“Islam makes waves with her debut novel, which traverses from Bangladesh to Brooklyn exploring the secrets of three young women.”—Time PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 304 PAGES • 978-0-14-312313-2 • $16.00

ETGAR KERETThe Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God And Other StoriesBrief, intense, funny, and honest, the acclaimed Israeli writer’s stories illuminate the hid-den truths of life while covering vast emotional and narrative terrain—from a father’s first lesson to his boy to a standoff between soldiers caught up in the Middle East conflict. “Herald[s] [a] major new voice in world literature.”—San Francisco ChronicleRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 208 PAGES • 978-1-59463-324-9 • $16.00ALSO OF INTEREST: The Seven Good Years • RIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 978-1-59463-326-3

HELEN OYEYEMI Boy, Snow, Bird“By transforming ‘Snow White’ into a tale that hinges on race and cultural ideas about beauty—the danger of mirrors indeed—Oyeyemi finds a new, raw power in the classic. In her hands, the story is about secrets and lies, mothers and daughters, lost sisters, and the impossibility of seeing oneself or being seen in a brutally racist world….[Oyeyemi] elegantly and inventively turns a classic fairy tale inside out.”—Los Angeles TimesRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 336 PAGES • 978-1-59463-340-9 • $16.00

CLA IRE VAYE WATK INSGold Fame CitrusThis love story, set in a devastatingly imagined near future where drought has transfigured Southern California into a surreal, phantasmagoric landscape, explores the double-edged power of cherished relationships and the nature of hope and myth in a precarious world.“Watkin’s narrative is mythic and speculative, its sediment forming and re-forming in lists, treatises, and reports. The writing, with its tough sentimentality, is reminiscent of Denis Johnson’s, but Watkins has a style of mordant observation all her own.”—Harper’sRIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 352 PAGES • 978-1-59463-423-9 • $27.95

DAVID TREUERPrudence“What does it say about our troubled times—and David Treuer’s considerable talents—that his World War II-era novel speaks to the present moment in American history with more eloquence and complexity than the nightly newscast? Inequalities of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation; the treatment of captured combatants; the Escheresque ethics of bombing civilians a world away; the culture that allows white people to shoot people of color with impunity; all this, and much more besides, resonates through Treuer’s tender and devastating book.”—The Washington PostRIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 272 PAGES • 978-1-59463-308-9 • $27.95

PATR IC IA PARKRe JaneJourneying from Queens to Brooklyn to Seoul, this fresh, contemporary retelling of Jane Eyre from Korean-American debut novelist Patricia Park explores the quest for self-acceptance, the search for love, and the struggle to find a balance between two cultures. “Park uses the classic novel Jane Eyre as a template to examine very modern concepts: questions of identity and love, culture and conscience, even the hardships of immigra-tion.”—The Miami HeraldPAMELA DORMAN HARDCOVER • 352 PAGES • 978-0-525-42740-7 • $27.95

REBECCA MAKKAI Music for WartimeThese transporting, moving stories—some inspired by Makkai’s own family history—demonstrate her extraordinary range and confirm her as a master of the form. “[An] excellent debut collection…characterized by a striking blend of whimsy and poi-gnancy, elegy and ebullience….While some stories are straightforwardly realistic and others wildly fantastical, all are witty, rueful, and wise.”—The Boston GlobeVIKING HARDCOVER • 240 PAGES • 978-0-525-42669-1 • $26.95

RAJ IA HASS IBIn the Language of Miracles“A gripping, hold-your-breath exposé about being Muslim in post-9/11 America….But it’s also a universal, multi-generational, immigrant tale. The old-world, Egyptian grandmother’s bungled English, her prayers and incense, rub against her American-born, tech-savvy grandchildren’s bungled Arabic and Western music. It’s an intelligent, beautifully rendered reminder that no matter our ethnicity or creed, we all long for ac-ceptance.”—Marie Manilla, author of The Patron Saint of UglyVIKING HARDCOVER • 288 PAGES • 978-0-525-42813-8 • $26.95

J ESS ROWYour Face in Mine“Anchored by a Swiftian fantasy of racial reassignment surgery, which takes its...hero from the housing projects of Baltimore to the back streets of Bangkok…[this is] a slyly penetrating novel on race and identity politics.”—Richard Price, author of Lush Life“Reads like a postcard from the near-future to our present moment: what if the com-modification of identity spawned a new kind of lie? A wave of racial metamorphoses—a surgically-enabled denial of history? Row’s premise is ingenious, but his execution is even better. He’s created a thriller with a human core.”—Karen Russell, author of SwamplandiaRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 382 PAGES • 978-1-59463-384-3 • $16.00

LAUREN HOLMESBarbara the Slut and Other People“Sometimes painful, sometimes brilliantly funny, and most often both; Holmes can find the humor in the worst situations, and the tragedy in the most glorious moments. But it’s her characters that carry the stories—imperfect, difficult, and defiantly human.”—NPR“Articulat[es]with devastating precision something unique about the strange times we live in...as we navigate...the demands of our friends, our families, our culture, and the wild, unreasonable desires that well up within us.”—Phil Klay, author of RedeploymentRIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 272 PAGES • 978-1-59463-378-2 • $27.95

CELESTE NGEverything I Never Told YouWhen the 16-year-old daughter of a Chinese American family in 1970s small-town Ohio is found dead, the balancing act keeping the family together tumbles into chaos. A story of family, history, and home, this page-turner explores cultural and familial rifts. “A subtle meditation on gender, race and the weight of one generation’s unfulfilled am-bitions upon the shoulders—and in the heads—of the next.”—San Francisco Chronicle PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 320 PAGES • 978-0-14-312755-0 • $16.00

THOMAS P IERCEHall of Small Mammals“Explore[s] the ordinary in the otherworldly, the surreal in the mundane, and the results are stunning and unexpected....There isn’t a weak story…and Pierce is an endlessly inci-sive and engaging writer. It’s a book full of wisdom and emotion, with stories that explore what it means to live and die in a world filled with invisible things.”—NPR RIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 304 PAGES • 978-1-59463-252-5 • $27.95RIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 320 PAGES • 978-1-59463-405-5 • $16.00PAPERBACK AVAILABLE JANUARY 2016
