THE OTHER SIDE
by Rubén Martínez
Martínez’s work of cultural reportage and personal memoir provides a vision of a new Latino culture that bubbles from San Salvador to L.A. and that embraces cumbia and hip-hop, anarchists and Catholic priests.
“The Other Side is a brilliant and breathtaking account of the new culture created by guerrillas of San Salvador and performance artists of feverish Tijuana, by young painters of graffiti in Los Angeles and rock ‘n’ roll singers of Mexico City. It is a revealing, remarkable and timely book.”
—Ryszard Kapuściński

From the Rocky Mountains to a Marrakech palace, in voices wry, lyrical, and sometimes wistful, these women show as much of themselves as they do of the strange and wonderful places they visit.

LOW LIFE
LURES AND SNARES OF NEW YORK
by Luc Sante
In this “fascinating … entertaining and sobering” (Philadelphia Inquirer) journey through New York City, from 1840 to 1919, Luc Sante discovers the dark heart, wherein dwell pimps, madams, rat-killing dogs, ear-chewing thugs, con men, and extravagantly crooked cops.
“Low Life captures the rollicking atmosphere of city life.… Sante reclaims an essential piece of the city’s past.” —The New York Times Book Review

by Carol Spindel
A moving memoir of an American woman’s difficult and gradual acceptance into the daily life of a rural West African community.

RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF CRAZY
ON TOUR WITH THE U.S. DOWNHILL SKI TEAM
