LAURA
Vera Caspary
Afterword by A.B. Emrys
Laura was the ideal “modern woman” and the ultimate femme fatale. No man could resist her charms—not even the hardboiled NYPD detective sent to investigate her murder. This 1942 psychological thriller is as gripping and brilliantly constructed as the Preminger film.
VERA CASPARY (1904–1987) is best known for her skillfully crafted and psychologically complex murder mysteries. Several of her books were made into films, including Laura, Bedelia, and The Man Who Loved His Wife. She was also a playwright and screenwriter, and was an important figure in the radical political causes of her day.
EAT MY HEART OUT
Zoe Pilger
Half-liberated, half-drunk, Ann-Marie is twenty-three, broke, and convinced that love—sweet love!—is the answer to all of her problems. Then she meets legendary second wave feminist Stephanie Haight, who becomes obsessed with the idea that she can save Ann-Marie and her entire generation. From Little Mermaid-themed warehouse parties and ritual worship ceremonies summoning ancient goddesses to disastrous one-night stands with strikingly unsuitable men, Ann-Marie hurtles through London and life. Fiercely clever and unapologetically wild, Eat My Heart Out is the satire for our narcissistic, hedonistic, post-postfeminist era.
ZOE PILGER is an art critic for The Independent and winner of the 2011 Frieze International Writers Prize. She has appeared on BBC Newsnight’s The Review Show, Channel Four’s Sunday Brunch, and Sky News. Eat My Heart Out is her first novel. It was published in the UK by Serpent’s Tail to wide acclaim, garnering positive reviews from publications such as Marie Claire, The Daily Mail, the Financial Times, and the New Statesman.
BLACK WAVE
Michelle Tea
It’s 1999—and Michelle’s world is ending. Desperate to quell her addiction to drugs, disastrous romance, and nineties San Francisco, Michelle heads south for LA. But soon it’s officially announced that the world will end in one year, and life in the sprawling metropolis becomes increasingly weird.
While living in an abandoned bookstore, dating Matt Dillon, and keeping an eye on the encroaching apocalypse, Michelle begins a new novel, a sprawling and meta-textual exploration to complement her promises of maturity and responsibility. But as she tries to make queer love and art without succumbing to self-destructive vice, the boundaries between storytelling and everyday living begin to blur, and Michelle wonders how much she’ll have to compromise her artistic process if she’s going to properly ride out doomsday.
MICHELLE TEA is the author of numerous books, including Rent Girl, Valencia, and How to Grow Up. She is the creator of the Sister Spit all-girl open mic and 1997-1999 national tour. In 2003, Michelle founded RADAR Productions, a literary non-profit that oversees queer-centric projects.
