The Amnesiac in the Maze
A new collection of fabulist short fiction from award-winning author, Michael Czyzniejewski. The stories in Michael Czyzniejewski's new collection showcase a menagerie of personalities: the Bigamist, the Pyromaniac, the Nihilist, among others--all of whom reveal a moment of existential crisis. This is not a question of "How the world works" or "How best to live" but "What happens when life leads us to the edge of understanding." In "The Hemophiliac Engages the Glass Eater," this unlikely relationship pushes the couple to re-imagine their lives not only for the sake of love, but also for changing how they think of themselves as people.

One Person Away from You
Winner of the 2020 Moon City Short Fiction Award One Person Away From You is a collection of stories that oscillates between the fantastic and the familiar: for every woman who turns into a swan, there's a man who bungles a romantic relationship in Italy; for every sky that rains a torrent of laughter, there's a husband reminiscing about his honeymoon. Above all, the stories explore our common lot of lostness and longing, our question of whether our life and loves are the right ones or the product of some cosmic error. Whether it's a sea appearing suddenly in a bone dry valley, an angel musing on his relationship with a mortal woman, or a narrator yearning for an absent lover the deeply emotional stories search for meaning. Throughout this collection, characters and entire towns search through the constructs of identity, time, fairy tales, and love letters, to find the flicker of constancy in the sea of change that is human life.
Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone
"A combination of the mystical, magical, and marvelous, Sequoia Nagamatsu weaves a collection of bold, hysterical, and moving tales into an unforgettable debut. From shape-shifters, to star-makers, to babies made of snow, the characters in WHERE WE GO WHEN ALL WE WERE IS GONE form a community of longing, of the surreal, of wonder. What a joy it is to read each and every story." --Michael Czyzniejewski
New Stories from the Midwest: 2012
“As this fresh anthology proves, there’s a mix of writers and sensibilities that inhabit the literary Midwest as to make the term unpredictable.” —Stuart Dybek, MacArthur Fellow and author of The Coast of Chicago New Stories from the Midwest presents a collection of stories that celebrate an American region too often ignored in discussions about distinctive regional literature. The editors solicited nominations from more than three hundred magazines, literary journals, and small presses and narrowed the selection to nineteen authors. The stories, written by Midwestern writers or focusing on the Midwest, demonstrate that the quality of fiction from and about the heart of the country rivals that of any other region. Guest editor John McNally introduces the anthology, which features short fiction by Charles Baxter, Dan Chaon, Christopher Mohar, Rebecca Makkai, Lee Martin, Anthony Doerr, Roxanne Gay and others.
