Our American Friend
"Our American Friend is a propulsive Cold War era spy thriller crossed with a fictional biography of a First Lady. Spanning from the 1970s to the present day, traveling from Moscow and Paris to Washington and New York, Anna Pitoniak's novel is a gripping page-turner about power and complicity and how sometimes, the fate of the world is in the hands of the people you'd never expect"--
The Saint
In this internationally bestselling Nordic noir, the investigation into the murder of a beloved soccer coach in a quiet Stockholm neighborhood reveals a dark truth. Local girls’ soccer coach Sven-Gunnar Erlandsson is practically a saint in the community, known for his good works and volunteering. So when his body is found in Stockholm’s beautiful Herräng forest, shot at close range in the back of the neck while walking home from a late-night poker game, the police struggle to find a motive.

A Chalice of Miracles
When deciding on a title, I received information from the Brain and Tissue Bank of the University of Maryland saying their symbol was a butterfly. I have Dystonia, which is a neuro-muscular motor, movement disease (involving the brain, the muscles, and coordination). I am donating my brain to the Brain and Tissue Bank, so contemplated how my life could be compared to a butterfly's metamorphosis. A Butterfly's Metamorphosis: Life Story of Libby Karns is divided into three parts, or phases of a butterfly's life-cycle, as represented on the book's cover. There are 16 chapters, two hymns, and two of my poems. Some of the chapter titles are: A Life-changing Experience Odessa (You get to take a trip with me!); Precocious? Shy? Insecure?; Storybook Characters; Dystonia?/Dystonia; and Useless? Useful?.
Tribunal
Vladimir Voinovich’s Tribunal: A Courtly Comedy in Three Acts is a scathing satire on the 1960s/1970s Soviet show-trials by one of the most famous Soviet dissidents, who was sometimes called Russia’s ‘greatest living satirist.’ Based upon his reaction to the Sinyavski/Daniel trial in 1966, which caused him to begin to write harshly critical letters to Premier Leonid Brezhnev and finally resulted in his expulsion from the Soviet Union in 1981, Voinovich’s Tribunal is a monument to the Soviet dissidents of the Cold War period and a sardonic critique of the censorship and persecution of dissident writers everywhere. Voinovich’s classic comedy describes the black humoresque high jinks and outrageous shenanigans that ensue when an unsuspecting couple of Soviet citizens, Senya and Larissa Suspectnikoff, clutching their free tickets in their innocent hands, walk into a crowded theatre, expecting to watch a Chekhovian comedy, only to become caught up in the sinister machinations of a Soviet criminal tribunal and its madcap version of the Moscow show trials.
Silence
A literary novel with changing narrators, strong agendas and intertextual sequences, Silence is an examination of sexual violence and its repercussions. It questions the right of the media to scrutinise and pronounce judgement on a person’s life choices.

Will Alexander has written the introduction for this revised edition.
