It won’t take you long to see why Jane Tyson Clement’s short stories have become perennial favorites for adults and children alike. Written with a measured beauty that recalls Tolstoy and Tolkien, these tales are rich in allegorical symbolism and evocation of mood. They are infused throughout with the thrill of expectancy, a sense that something new is on the way, and a certainty that God is seeking us, just as we seek him. In an age where cleverness often counts more than substance, Clement’s stories offer a break from all the noise.

This Ecuadorian short story collection explores  domestic horrors and everyday violence, a «grotesque, unflinching» portrait of  twenty-first-century Latin America ( Publishers Weekly ). “Ampuero’s literary voice is tough and beautiful at once: her stories are exquisite and dangerous objects.” —Yuri Herrera, author of Signs Preceding the End of the World In lucid and compelling prose,María Fernanda Ampuero sheds light on the hidden aspects of home: the grotesque realities of family, coming of age, religion, and class struggle. A family’s maids witness a horrible cycle of abuse, a girl is auctioned off by a gang of criminals, and two sisters find themselves at the mercy of their spiteful brother. With violence masquerading as love, characters spend their lives trapped reenacting their past traumas. Heralding a brutal and singular new voice,  Cockfight  explores the power of the home to both create and destroy those within it.

"Alzayat’s slim, powerful debut collection showcases the author’s deep empathy and imagination in stories about grief, assimilation, and trauma… This intelligent collection is a force to be reckoned with." — Publishers Weekly , starred review The award-winning stories in Dima Alzayat’s collection, Alligator and Other Stories , are luminous and tender, whether dealing with a woman preforming burial rites for her brother in “Ghusl,” or the great-aunt struggling to explain cultural identity to her niece in “Once We Were Syrians.” Alzayat’s stories are rich and relatable, chronicling a sense of displacement through everyday scenarios. There is the intern in pre-#MeToo Hollywood of “Only Those Who Struggle Succeed,” the New York City children on the lookout for a place to play on the heels of Etan Patz’s kidnapping in “Disappearance,” or the “dangerous” women of “The Daughters of Manāt” who struggle to assert their independence. The title story, “Alligator,” is a masterpiece of historical reconstruction and intergenerational trauma, told in an epistolary format through social media posts, newspaper clippings, and testimonials, that starts with the true story of the lynching of a Syrian immigrant couple by law officers in small-town Florida. Placed in a wider context of U.S. racial violence, the extrajudicial deaths, and what happens to the couple’s children and their children’s children in the years after, challenges the demands of American assimilation and its limits. Alligator and Other Stories is haunting, spellbinding, and unforgettable, while marking Dima Alzayat’s arrival as a tremendously gifted new talent. "Dima Alzayat scrys the past, spinning narratives that are ahead of our time. War, politics and power come clashing together in these inventive stories that flit between styles and perspectives with dexterity. Alzayat may be the first person to realize that our history is our own black mirror." —Jacob Hoefer, Labyrinth Books (Princeton, NJ)

И ведь Это [Произведение] – напоминание Тебе и Твоему народу, и Вы будете спрошены!Когда он пришел к ним с Нашими знамениями, они над ним рассмеялись.[сура 43 Аз-Зухруф, аят 43 (44),46 (47)]Не над Аллахом разве, Его знамениями и Его посланником вы издевались?Не извиняйтесь! Вы оказались неверными, после своей веры![сура Ат-Тауба, аят 66 (65),67 (66)]

«О душе большого города музеи и дворцы говорят гораздо меньше, чем старые улицы, чем рынок, порт, набережная, церковь, лавка антиквара и, конечно, больше всего – дешевый трактир попроще…»
