Terrarium
Shortlisted for the Pacific Northwest Book Award "Urgent, unnerving and tightly packed short fiction that covers enough ground for a library of novels." —The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice Valerie Trueblood's writing has been praised by The New York Times as "an exercise in literary restraint and extreme empathy." Selected here are stories from her previous collections—finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award—alongside her newest collection, which lends this book its name.

My Passage Through Life
A first-hand, factual account of the author's personal journey, spanning over nine decades: growing up in a rural village of North India; struggling to carve out his identity and finding his path; creating his own little world that he calls his destiny…and in doing so, rubbing shoulders with many eminent personalities, and witnessing extraordinary historic events of his time.
