New from Gary Amdahl
I AM DEATH
From the acclaimed author of Visigoth,
two powerful novellas exploring the anxiety and paranoia of modern America.
|
|
"Amdahl's funny bone [is] on full display, and his sharply observed office politics are wincingly accurate. . . . [his] novellas aspire to Melville's noble statement and declare, in the end, that saying no is a manly thing to do."
—Bookforum |
|
"Amdahl. . . examines darkly ludicrous aspects of modern American culture. . . . Two narratives of frustrated possibility, offering an awareness of the brutal indifference of modern life."
—Kirkus |

The Future of Nature
"Clarion essays by such innovative and now prominent thinkers as
Wendell Berry, Bill McKibben, Gary Paul Nabhan, and Rebecca Solnit
nestle against two-dozen other arresting dispatches, including Loren’s
chronicle of a grassroots effort to halt unnecessary commercial
development in Colorado and Sandra Steingraber’s report on the trouble
with vinyl. . . . The whole is greater than the sum of its parts,
adding up to a thought-provoking ecological primer."— Donna Seaman, Booklist more...
