I cut off the names of publisher and agent that come at the end of each listing.
Former Creative Director at Deutsch, New York David J. Rosen's I JUST WANT MY PANTS BACK, a downtown hipster's "Bright Lights Big City" for today, about a 25 year old who is drifting and living it up, unsure what direction (if any) to go in life, set in a current day New York City that has changed dramatically over the years, but remains the same place of exhilarating possibility and highs, as well as unforseen lows.
Doug Crandell's THE FLAWLESS SKIN OF UGLY PEOPLE, presenting touching, absurdist and sensitive characters.
Daniel Serrano's GUNMETAL BLACK, following a recently paroled gangster who returns to the mean streets of his Chicago neighborhood, determined to save his best friend from a life of crime and find the man responsible for murdering his father when he was a boy.
Margaret Grace's FULL SCALE MURDER, the first in a series of cozy crafts mysteries set in the world of dollhouses and miniature furniture, in which a feisty grandmother and dollhouse aficionado is drawn into sleuthing when she uncovers secrets that shake her small California town and ultimately threaten her life.
Murzban F. Shroff's BREATHLESS IN BOMBAY, a collection of literary short stories set against the backdrop of the author's native Bombay, featuring citizens of different classes and varying trades.
Historical anthropologist Peggy Hodges's NIGHT BATTLES, about the daughter of Italy's most famous crime photographer (inspired by a real woman) and a prominent American archaeologist taken out of Italy after the Mafia murders her mother, who then returns years later and meets an archivist who reveals hidden truths about her mother and allows her finally to understand her own hybrid and conflicted nature.
Sonia Lambert's THREE MOTHERS, exploring the very different lives of three generations of women in one extraordinary family and the complex nature of mother-daughter bonds.
