An ENORMOUS congratulations to Pip Adam, this year's winner of the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction for her novel AUDITION! 🚀🚀🚀 We couldn't be happier!

Another lovely review of A CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF JOY by Radka Denemarkova. artsfuse.org/336031/book-...

In this ambitious Czech novel, Radka Denemarková's "A Contribution to the History of Joy," a detective’s inquiry into an apparent suicide becomes a meditation on violence against women, historical memory, and the possibility of joy. From @coffeehousepress.bsky.social artsfuse.org/336031/book-...

On Wednesday, October 21st—Ursula's birthday—please join us as we announce the recipient of the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction! The announcement will be on YouTube at 9 am Pacific time. www.youtube.com/@ursula.k.le...

"Evenson brings real depth and pathos to the violence, as he finds the holiness lurking in gore. The author is on the top of his game." A ⭐ review from Publisher's Weekly for PHANTOM LIMB.

Happiest of pub days to Brian Evenson and PHANTOM LIMB! Another incredible work from a mad genius.

Final copies have arrived!🎉 “Nghiem Tran has penned a lyrical, moving poetry collection that I expect to dazzle readers as the sleeper hit of the year. I consumed it in a long guzzle, then went back to page one and started again," - Mary Karr OUR HOURS ARE MARRIED TO SHADOW by Nghiem Tran 12/08/26

PHANTOM LIMB is officially yours in one week!!!

Literary fiction I’m working on publicity for now that will be published in upcoming months, in November and January by @schaffnerpress.bsky.social and @coffeehousepress.bsky.social respectively, that should absolutely be on your cultural radar.

"Denemarková’s prose, poetically rendered by translators Julia and Peter Sherwood, depicts a society of citizens that are hopelessly alienated from their physical selves."

Final copies of Brian Evenson's PHANTOM LIMB have landed! Preorders coming your way soon. Publishes October 13th!!!

"ADA is Haber’s themes distilled into a purified form and taken to cartoonish heights." clereviewofbooks.com/on-mark-habe...

Audition is by @pipadam.bsky.social, and is published by @coffeehousepress.bsky.social:

"the prose is as unrelenting as the BPM of hard techno, pounding at readers to lose themselves in the possibility of transcendence." A fantastic review of SHAMANS in today's World Literature Today. @monaojedaf.bsky.social worldliteraturetoday.org/2026/septemb...
