Above Ground
Short Stories. Building on painter Marcel Duchamp's idea that the art is in the selection, Harvard Square Editions (HSE) was able to harvest the best of hundreds of pages of an author's writing in these novel excerpts and short stories. Because authors can use the anthology as a tool to land rights deals for their entire manuscripts, HSE was able to engage award-winning authors donating for a great cause: the Nobel Prize winning charity Doctors Without Borders.
A Voice from the Planet
Award-winning and new authors from Congo to Hollywood join forces in Harvard Square Editions' second volume of Living Fiction, and they are donating the net proceeds from the sale of this book to the Nobel Prize-winning charity Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Most anthologies are limited by their themes to a particular town or country, reinforcing entrenched literary nationalism whereby institutionalized literati only appreciate their own. Not Voice from the Planet. This collection of extraordinary voices is unlimited. It will transport you on a globe-trotting adventure from the trauma of African earthquake to a lush glimpse of love in the jungles of Peru. Break thr...

How Fast Can You Run
Set across a backdrop of refugee migration that spans Africa, America and Australia, How Fast Can You Run is the inspiring story of Michael Majok Kuch and his journey to find his mother. In 1988, Majok, as a five-year-old boy, fled his burning village in southern Sudan when the North systematically destroyed it, searching for John Garang, the South's leader. Majok, along with thousands of other fleeing people, many of them unaccompanied minors, trekked through the wilderness in Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya to arrive at a series of refugee camps where he would live for the next ten years. When the U.S. brokered an agreement, granting approximately 4,000 unaccompanied minors political asylum, Majok, now Michael, was given a new start in the U.S. Yet his new life was not without trauma. He faced prejudice once again, disrupting the promise of his new beginnings. This is a story of a survivor who in facing challenge after challenge summons the courageous spirit of millions of refugees throughout history and today.
Tears Before Exaltation

His fellow scholarship winner is his long-time friend Brenda -- a young medical student with extraordinary talent whose troubled childhood has rendered her self-destructive, and dangerous. In Memphis, their lives become increasingly entangled. As Ben is pulled into Brenda's orbit, he risks his medical education, his new romance, and his entire future in the hopes of steering himself and Brenda through a tumult of loneliness and trauma"--Page 4 of cover
Shelter
A powerful and inspiring study of the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter: The only student-run shelter in the United States.
On Coventry
On Coventry traces the very real phenomenon of generational decline by mapping the economic corrosion of Cleveland, Ohio, upon the semi-charmed story of Eliot Hopkins who, on the tragic side of twenty-two, finds himself thoroughly disappointed with life when the foggy hue of a girl in a knee-length pea coat, its collar turned up against the swell of her ale-brown hair, appears before him. The story follows the ill-fated love between Eliot Hopkins and Alice Browne through the seemingly enchanted relationship of his now deceased mother and disabled father, and further back to the charmed life of his great-grandparents--immigrants who escaped Austria-Hungary at the outset of the First World War to find one another in a Minnesota mining camp before moving to Northeast Ohio. Schultz renders a discerning narrative of serendipitous relationships, cruel misfortune, and the entropy of American dreams. One that is a testament to the enduring optimism of every Clevelander who believes in tomorrow, next year, eventually, somewhen.

Determined to find a way out of town for herself--and some peace for Evan--Rachel challenges the establishment in her own, unique way. C...
