THREE STRANGE ANGELS

by Laura Kalpakian

March 2015

Robert Hale (English in UK and Europe)

Editor: Gill Jackson

384 pages

Laura Kalpakian is the winner of a PEN West prize, an NEA award, two Pacific

Northwest Booksellers’ Awards and an IMPAC nomination.

Her previous novels have been published in German, Polish, and French

The sudden death of bestselling novelist Francis Carson sends his literary agent rushing to

Hollywood to rescue the reputation – and body – of his star client. Quentin Castle, junior

partner at Castle Literary Agency, also hopes to find the manuscript that the author’s widow

says he was working on when he died. That lost manuscript, and the influence of three women

– a redoubtable expert on middle-class British housekeeping; a vivacious California girl; and

Francis Carson’s enigmatic widow – will permanently alter the trajectory of Quentin’s career,

and his life.

THREE STRANGE ANGELS is a novel for admirers and observers of the world of books and literature, fans of An Arsonist’s Guide to

Writers’ Homes in New England; The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society; The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, and the classic Cakes and Ale

and 84, Charing Cross Road. It’s a story of publishing as it used to – and ever will – be: a game of chance and chancers, of charm and

chicanery, of the big break and the one that got away.

"Whatever happened to old-fashioned stories, with fleshed-out characters, well-crafted plots, strong themes, and palpable atmosphere?

Laura Kalpakian, for one, is still writing them."

--Wall Street Journal

“[s]o entertaining a writer it takes you a while to realize how smart she is.”

—The New Yorker

General Fiction

In the “Irish Channel” of 1960s New Orleans – a district about to be swept up in a

maelstrom of demolition and change – a young woman of mixed French/Mexican

heritage grapples with identity and transformation in her relationships with friends,

and with her indomitable abuelita, Mimy.

“[NAVEL OF THE MOON] gives further evidence of Lagasse’s permanent place in our literary culture.”

—Pulitzer Prize winner ROBERT OLEN BUTLER

“Navel of the Moon is filled with luminous characters, crisp, lyrical prose, and powerful human drama.”

—MANUEL RAMOS

“[NAVEL OF THE MOON] offers a different kind of New Orleans – not magnolias, moonlight, or vampires … but a place where dreams are big and

reality is disillusionment.”

– Pulitzer Prize winner SHIRLEY ANNE GRAU

Dzanc reissued 8 of Goyen’s works in 2014, including his

acclaimed debut novel The House of Breath, and his last

collection of short stories Had I A Hundred Mouths.

In addition, they will be publishing a collection of Goyen’s

Complete Short Stories in late 2015, which have never before

been compiled into a single volume in the English language.

A collection of Goyen’s stories are published in Spanish

Goyen’s work has been published previously in German,

French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Hungarian

Goyen was one of the most innovative American writers of fiction in the 20th century. His diverse oeuvre, including novels, plays,

non-fiction, and, of course, short stories, has a powerful and distinctive voice that is firmly rooted in his East Texas origins. Defying

contemporary labels, Goyen’s work focuses on recurring themes of isolation, family, memory, spirituality, and, above all, place.

“A beautiful, sensitive and creative book which is apt to provoke a good deal of critical attention.”

—Kirkus (starred review), for The House of Breath

"The House of Breath is not a novel at all but a sustained evocation of the past... The writing as a whole is disciplined on a high plane, and there are

long passages of the best writing, the fullest and richest and most expressive, that I have read in a very lo ng time."

EUSTACE CHISHOLM AND THE WORKS;

Liveright Publishing/W.W. Norton (World English)

Editor: Will Menaker

After reissuing Purdy’s Complete Short Stories, and his novel

Cabot Wright Begins in 2013, Liveright is continuing their program

with these two classic novels in April.

Malcolm was a finalist for the 1960 National Book Award, and

Eustace won the Clifton Fadiman Award for Excellence in Fiction

Rights Sold:

Malcolm: Romanian (Vellant)

Eustace Chisholm: German (Gmuender)

Previously published in Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese/Brazil, Spanish, Turkish, and Russian translations

James Purdy’s critically acclaimed first novel, Malcolm (1959), won praise from writers as diverse as Dame Edith Sitwell, Dorothy Parker,

and Gore Vidal. Eustace Chisholm and the Works outraged the New York literary establishment at its first publication in 1967—and went on

to become a classic of gay literature. More than breaking American literature out of the pre-Stonewall closet, however, the book liberated

its author, who afterward “felt free to write about any aspect of American life I chose.”

"A savage modern classic of innocence and corruption—a wild, comic, ribald tale…the most prodigiously funny book to streak across these heavy-hanging times."

—DOROTHY PARKER (on Malcolm)

“Among his many excellent works, Eustace Chisholm is the fullest bodied, the best-written, the most tautly narrated, and the most beautifully constructed.”

–JONATHAN FRANZEN (on Eustace Chisholm)

Literary Fiction/Southern Literature

*Reissue Program*

Heralded as the debut of a major new talent when it was first published in 1961, The Morning and the Evening won the John P. Marquand First

Novel Award from the Book-of-the-Month Club and established Joan Williams as a leading voice in Southern literature. Elegant, compassionate,

and deeply unsettling, it is a portrait of the human spirit in all of its flawed and intricate beauty, and a tale firmly grounded in reality yet told

with all the power of myth.

The Wintering is the poignant story of a love affair based on the author’s real-life relationship with William Faulkner. All together, these novels

represent the work of Joan Williams’ skillful and psychologically acute mind, which cemented her place as one of the great novelists of her era.

“A gifted writer in superb control of her craft.”

—The New York Times Book Review

“To her simple materials, Joan Williams brings the art of the born storyteller, subtlety of psychological insight, and a deep clarity of feeling.

She has, in fact, the last and greatest gift: to move the heart.”

COME IN AT THE DOOR;

THE TALLONS;

THE LOOKING-GLASS

by William March

February 2015

The University of Alabama Press (World English)

After reissuing Trial Balance: The Collected Short

Stories of William March in 2011 (as well as

Company K previously), Alabama Press has now

brought back March’s classic trilogy of “Pearl

County” novels in both print and e-book.


The Looking-Glass has been published previously in

Spanish and Portuguese

While perhaps not as well-known as The Bad Seed or Company K, March’s “Pearl County” novels, set in imaginary Alabama towns

reminiscent of the one where the author himself was raised, are equally worthy of rediscovery. Combining the penetrating precision of

his short stories with the bare and lucid prose of his earlier war novel Company K, the author creates stunning psychological portraits of

the people and places with whom he grew up. Clearly situated in the Southern Gothic tradition, this set offers a distinct insight into

March’s style and talent. The Looking-Glass is considered by many, including his biographer Roy S. Simmonds, to be his greatest novel.

“William March is one of the world’s classic modern writers, a whole ionosphere above Faulkner, and the unrecognized genius of our time.”

—ALISTAIR COOKE, A William March Omnibus

“The outstanding virtues of March’s work are those of complete lack of sentimentality and routine romanticism, of a dramatic gift constantly

heightened and sharpened by eloquence of understatement.”

—The New York Times

KINGS AND EMPERORS

February 2015

Thomas Dunne (World English)

Editor: Peter Joseph

368 pages

This is the 21st book in Lambdin’s popular series.

Earlier books in the series have been translated into German and Spanish.

In Kings and Emperors, the twenty-first book in Dewey Lambdin's beloved Alan

Lewrie series, Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is still in Gibraltar, his schemes

for raids along the coast of Southern Spain shot to a halt. He is reduced to

commanding a clutch of harbor defense gunboats in the bay while his ship,

HMS Sapphire, slowly grounds herself on a reef of beef bones! Until Napoleon

Bonaparte’s invasion of peaceful Portugal and his so-called collaborative march

into Spain change everything.

“History buffs get an authentic picture of British life at the approach of the Regency era…Great fun on every page, and with more over the

horizon.”

— Kirkus (starred review)

“Lambdin … [is] in good company with Julian Stockwin and Seth Hunter as worthy successors to … Forester, Kent, and Pope.”

— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A joy to read … Lewrie is easily Napoleon’s greatest naval antagonist after Horatio Nelson.”

THE BAD SEED

the classic horror film of 1956, directed by

Μervyn Leroy

Rights Sold: Portuguese in Brazil (Darkside)

Previously published in Danish, Dutch, Finnish,

French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Spanish,

There’s something special about eight-year-old Rhoda Penmark. With her carefully plaited hair and her sweet cotton dresses, she’s the

very picture of old-fashioned innocence. But when their neighborhood suffers a series of terrible accidents, her mother begins to wonder:

Why do bad things seem to happen when little Rhoda is around?

Originally published in 1954, William March’s final novel was an instant bestseller and National Book Award finalist before it was

adapted for the stage and made into a 1956 film. The Bad Seed is an indelible portrait of an evil that wears an innocent face, one which still

resonates in popular culture today.

“William March knows where human fears and secrets are buried… Nowhere is this gift better displayed.”

—The New York Times

“An impeccable tale of pure evil.”

Previously published in Italian and French

Novelist and publisher William Milligan Sloane III (1906-1974) has been compared to

genre-bending icons such as Philip K. Dick, though he is set apart by his elegant prose

and his sophisticated sense of the terrifying. Widely considered a lost masterpiece by critics and fans alike, TO WALK THE NIGHT

is the story of the widow of a mathematician killed by what appears to have been spontaneous combustion—but about whom

something is subtly, and profoundly, wrong. The novel is presented in a double volume with THE EDGE OF RUNNING WATER.

These were Sloane’s only two novels, first published in the 1930s.

“Sloane didn't exactly transcend his chosen genre; he was merely its most sophisticated and masterful practitioner. ”

—Baltimore City Paper

“Put simply, the sum is far greater than the parts. I can think of no other novels exactly like these two, either in style or substance.”

A new comic crime novel from the author of The Burn Palace (2012), and the bestselling

Church of Dead Girls (1997), Is Fat Bob Dead Yet? is set in a small New England town. It starts

with a bang: a gruesome accident between a garbage truck and a motorcycle that leaves a

body with no head – and no identity. Call it “tradiculous” (that’s where the tragic intersects

with the ridiculous). A small-time con artist, a small-town accountant with a Harley-

Davidson fixation, and two police partners who can’t stand one another (it’s complicated – and it involves karaoke) cross paths, all

observed by a homeless man with a rat-like tail. And then there’s Vaughn, the velvet-voiced oracle of the incomprehensible, who

just might be an Orphan from Outer Space. Detective Woody Potter (The Burn Palace) makes an appearance. Fans of Donald

Westlake’s Dortmunder books will love this novel.

“Dobyns’ tone, shifting from amused to sinister and back again…buttress[es] the horror with pitch black humor. A tour de force genre

buster.”

“Elegantly effortless … lyrically cool … reminiscent of Ray Bradbury at his best.”

Margaret Millar, recipient of the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award in 1983, was a pioneer of the psychological

thriller. Her 27 novels embody a consistency of quality, and yet diversity of plot that is rarely achieved by such prolific authors.

Perhaps her most famous work, Beast In View (1955), won the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best Novel, and is widely considered

among the Top 100 Books in the Crime/Mystery genre. In 1965, she was named Woman of the Year by the Los Angeles Times. This

year, we celebrate the centennial of her birth, as well as that of her equally esteemed husband, Kenneth Millar (aka Ross

Macdonald).

“Sombre, spectral effects keynote an expert and very tricky display of one of the fine talents in the suspense genre.”

—Kirkus (starred review)

“Margaret Millar is surely one of the late twentieth-century crime fiction’s best writers, in the sense that the actual writing in her books,

the prose, is of superb quality.”

Dancer and choreographer Agnes de Mille (niece of filmmaker Cecil B. de Mille) was charter member of the American Ballet

Theatre. She is a towering figure in the world of American dance, responsible for Twentieth Century classics such as “Rodeo”,

“Fall River Legend”, and “Oklahoma!” Associated with both classical ballet and modern dance, she created a dance idiom that

was distinctively her own.

"She writes with verve about all three schools [of ballet], describes perspectively the inseparableness of dancer and dancing, the agonies of

work and exhaustion, the personality of the true ballerina who must be cut off from from the norm of social and sexual life."

Other notables and recent translation sales…

THE PAWNBROKER by Edward Lewis Wallant – German (Berlin Verlag), Spanish

(Libros del Asteroide) The story of a traumatized pawnbroker in Harlem who survived the Holocaust, the novel was adapted as

an award-winning film in 1964, directed by Sidney Lumet. Never out of print since its first publication

with Harcourt in 1961, a new edition is forthcoming with Fig Tree.

THE LION AND THE THRONE: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SIR EDWARD COKE

by Catherine Drinker Bowen – Chinese simplified (Guangxi Normal University Press)

A more obscure selection from Bowen’s catalogue of classic biographies, this book chronicles the

life of England’s premier jurist during the Elizabethan era. Coke was the central author of the

Petition of Right, a document that traces its legacy all the way to modern constitutional

legislatures, and yet he ended his career in disgrace, dismissed from the bench by the King

himself.

BUSINESS ADVENTURES by John Brooks – Spanish/Spain (Centro Libros);

Chinese complex (Locus), Chinese simplified (Beijing Mediatime), Dutch (Querido), German (Borsenbuchverlag), Italian (Einaudi),

Japanese (Diamond), Korean (Sam & Parkers), Polish (Studio Emka), Portuguese/Brazil (Record), Romanian (Litera), Russian (Azbooka-

Atticus), Turkish (Pegasus), Vietnamese (Thai Ha) In this classic book about Wall Street, a noted favorite of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, Brooks illuminates the highs and lows of humanity as

much as he does those of markets and businesses.

THE COLLECTED WRITINGS OF ZELDA FITZGERALD by Zelda Fitzgerald – German (Manesse)

While Zelda’s only novel, Save Me The Waltz, is an underappreciated classic, her collected writings are perhaps even less well-known. In

addition to that novel, this volume contains short stories, essays, and letters that further illuminate their author’s brilliant artistic mind, as

well as the fantastic era in which she lived.

THE HURRICANE YEARS by Cameron Hawley – Russian (EXMO) Hawley, himself a business executive at the Armstrong Cork Company in the 1930s and 40s, wrote four novels in his retirement about the

drama and pressure of the business world. This, his final work, considers corporate obsession, the constant demands of success and glory, and

whether such a lifestyle is sustainable for something as fragile as the human heart.

Open Road will reissue this book in late 2015 along with Hawley’s three other classic novels: Executive Suite, Cash McCall,

and The Lincoln Lords.

LONGING by J.D. Landis – Italian (Neri Pozza) The tempestuous story of Robert and Clara Schumann. The author brilliantly combines historical research and biography with the imagination

and romanticism of fiction to tell a powerful story of love – beautiful, insatiable, and ultimately self-destructive.

Recently reissued as an e-book by Open Road.

LYING IN BED by J.D. Landis

When the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded this novel the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award in 1996 the judges described it this

way: “Inventive, erudite, lexically playful, J. D. Landis' first novel, Lying in Bed, is a genuine tour de force, an excursion into pure verbalism

that is at the same time compelling as both narrative and sexual fantasy. J. D. Landis is a gifted writer who has the courage and strength to

take chances.”

Recently reissued as an e-book by Algonquin

THE LEW ARCHER MYSTERY SERIES by Ross Macdonald – Japanese (Hayakawa), German (Diogenes), French (Editions

Gallmeister), Greek (Metaihmio), Spanish (RBA Libros), Italian (Marco Polillo), Hungarian (Europa), Simplified Chinese (New Star),

Traditional Chinese (Solo Press), Portuguese – Brazil (L&PM), Russian (AST-RELease), Turkish (Bilge Kultur) Ross Macdonald—along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler—defined twentieth century hardboiled detective fiction. His iconic

LEW ARCHER mysteries are set in a sunny southern California shadowed by moral darkness, and masterfully combine psychologically taut

narratives with the suspense of a “whodunit” mystery.

2015 is the centenary of the births of Ross Macdonald and his wife, novelist Margaret Millar. Both authors were recipients of

the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.

BLACK HOLES AND TIME WARPS: EINSTEIN’S OUTRAGEOUS LEGACY by Kip S. Thorne – Chinese (Hunan Science &

Technology), Greek (Katoptro), Korean (Interpark), Italian (Castelvecchi), Spanish (Planeta-Critica) An in-depth, fascinating, and accessible account of how physicists have attempted to discern and prove the true meanings and implications of

Einstein’s revolutionary theories. Thorne paints a singular portrait of how we try to understand the Universe, with science and humanity

always intertwined.

The story and science that inspired the film Interstellar (2014).

THE PILGRIM HAWK by Glenway Wescott – French (Editions Cambourakis), Italian (Adelphi) A work of classical elegance and concision, it stands with Faulkner’s THE BEAR as one of the finest American pieces of short fiction. A

beautifully crafted story that is also a poignant evocation of the implacable power of love.

This novel celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2015.
