“Readers who enjoyed The Strain Trilogy, by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, will find plenty to satisfy them here.”—San Francisco Book Review

Other than your amazing voice, what personal characteristic do you attribute to your success as a narrator? I really think that is a question for my listening readers to answer. I wish I could be totally unnoticed so the listener simply hears the story and never gives a thought to who the performer is or what I am doing technically, but I am not sure that that is entirely possible. So, I would say it is my ability to be fully engaged in the story I am performing. Is there a hobby that our librarians might be interested in knowing about you?

Nearly 20 years later, The Shunning has sold more than one million copies, inspired the Hallmark Movie Channel feature film of the same name, and introduced a quieter, wholesome way of life to a world eager for simplicity.

LITERARY FICTION

WE BET YOU CAN’T LISTEN TO JUST ONE TALE The magic of the best short fiction lies in its ability to perfectly crystallize a moment in a character’s life, and within that brief moment, a world of possibility is opened for the reader. When assembling a collection of short fiction, authors take great pains to arrange the pieces so the stories operate both independently and in concert with each other. In this way, a good collection has a symphonic quality, with the tone and theme of each story

complementing other pieces in much the same way various instruments blend in the finest orchestras. Below you’ll find three of the best short-story writers at work today. Once listeners hear a story from these awardwinning, universally acclaimed writers, you can bet they’ll be hooked.

M atthiessen

May 22, 1927 – April 5, 2014

Your Words Will Live Long in the Minds of Readers Everywhere

Photo credit: Melissa Eagan, WNYC New York Public Radio

Book lovers across the world were sorry to learn of the passing of Peter Matthiessen, 86, who died on April 5, 2014, from complications with leukemia. The author of more than 30 books, Matthiessen left a rich legacy as an American novelist, naturalist, wilderness writer and CIA agent. Matthiessen was a co-founder of the Paris Review and a three-time winner of the National Book Award. An environmental activist, he focused much of his work on nature, travel, and Native-American issues and history. His story “Travelin’ Man” was made into the film The Young One in 1960 and his novel At Play in the Fields of the Lord was made into the 1991 film of the same name.

In a statement, Matthiessen’s editor, Rebecca Saletan, said,

In Paradise Peter Matthiessen Narrated by Mark Bramhall

“In everything he wrote, Peter was always relentless in his quest to get it right, to drive the impression on the page ever closer to the vision in his imagination, through draft after draft. Every galley page was a palimpsest, even on [his] final book.”

CD $77.75 $38.88 | eAudio $70.00 $35.00 A profoundly searching novel by a writer of incomparable range, power, and achievement. The revered author’s last book, In Paradise brings together a diverse range of characters at a former concentration camp, where Clements Olin attempts to reconcile the horrors of the past with the personal and political yearnings of the present.

“His writing does every justice to the blood and fury of his themes.” —Don DeLillo “The fiction of Peter Matthiessen is the reason a lot of people in my generation decided to be writers.” —Richard Ford

MEMOIR & BIOGRAPHY Little Failure Gary Shteyngart Narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross CD $123.75 $61.88 eAudio $109.00 $54.50 Gary Shteyngart’s New York Times bestselling Little Failure earned a spot on the Kirkus Reviews list of “New Books Destined to Become Classics.” A lifelong misfit, Gary Shteyngart offers his candid, provocative and hilarious look at the American immigrant experience. Leaving Leningrad in the late 1970s, the Shteyngarts journeyed to America with lofty aspirations for their son. However, their diminutive and curious boy was frequently distracted in his new country and it wasn’t long before his mother began referring to him as Failurchka—Little Failure. Consequently, Gary operated under the assumption that he would fail at nearly everything, including being a writer, a boyfriend and, most importantly, being a worthwhile human being.

Author Spotlight

YIYUN LI

amed by Newsweek as “one of America’s best young novelists,” Chinese-American author Yiyun Li has never written fiction in her native Mandarin. Li began her celebrated writing career in English, as a graduate student at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Her highly praised fiction—which some call “fatalistic” and others compare to Chekhov’s spare style—has appeared in the New Yorker, the Paris Review, Best American Short Stories, and elsewhere.

Kinder Than Solitude Yiyun Li (Chinese-American) Narrated by Angela Lin CD $102.75 $51.38 eAudio $92.00 $46.00

Kinder Than Solitude, Li’s “quietly heartbreaking new novel” (Boston Globe), is both a mystery and a tale of lost hope among China’s youth. Shaoai—a young protester in China’s Tiananmen Square uprising of 1989—is poisoned, and one of her three friends is the likely culprit. Shaoai spends the next 20 years in a coma while her friends scatter across the globe, avoiding each other, their guilt, and close human connections.

“… fatalism is probably one thing that sets my characters apart from western characters,” Li says. “America is a country of ideology of effort and individual success. In China your fate is controlled by something else.” ALSO BY YIYUN LI Gold Boy, Emerald Girl Performed by various narrators CD $77.75 $38.88 eAudio $92.00 $46.00

Writing with an exuberant love of language and detail, Anjelica Huston shares her enchanted childhood in Ireland, her teen years in London, and her coming-of-age as a model and nascent actress in New York. Anjelica Huston is an Academy Award–winning actress celebrated for her intelligence, beauty, and far-ranging talent. A Story Lately Told is a must–listen both for fans of the great actress and for anyone who revels in tales of transcendant humanity.

In this affecting memoir, A. J. Albany tells of her childhood spent traveling through L.A.’s music scene with her father, noted jazz pianist Joe Albany. From the smoke-filled dives where Joe performs to the seamy hotel rooms she and her smack-addicted father call home, this riveting account delivers a raw portrait of a young girl’s odyssey through Hollywood’s sordid underbelly.

“Her prose resembles the shimmering complexity of bop, with its feelings of tight yet improvisational dartings through memory. From the slag heap of the junkie lifestyle, she manages to spin literary gold.”—Kirkus Reviews

DEBUT AUTHORS

THREE STUNNING DEBUT COLLECTIONS, THREE RINGING ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE STATE OF MODERN FICTION There are times when a piece of writing strikes us so deeply that we are reminded of why it is we read in the first place. With their debut collections, David James Poissant, Claire Vaye Watkins, and Adam Haslett presented the world with stories of immense import. Anyone who cares about fiction cannot help but be buoyed by the arrival of these exciting new voices. The Heaven of Animals David James Poissant | Performed by various narrators CD $77.75 $38.88 | eAudio $70.00 $35.00 From two friends racing to save the life of an alligator in “Lizard Man” to a girl helping her boyfriend face his greatest fears in “The End of Aaron,” from a man who stalks death on an Atlanta street corner to a brother’s surprise at the surreal, improbable beauty of a late night encounter with a wolf, Poissant creates worlds that shine with honesty and dark complexity, but also with a profound compassion. These are stories hell-bent on hope.

“Poissant’s work has been compared to Anton Chekhov, Raymond Carver and George Saunders, so it goes without saying that his debut short-stories collection is something special.”—New York Post Battleborn Claire Vaye Watkins | Performed by various narrators CD $102.75 $51.38 | eAudio $92.00 $46.00 —Winner of the 2012 Story Prize — Recipient of the American Academy of Arts and Letters 2013 Rosenthal Family Foundation Award — Named one of the National Book Foundation’s “5 Under 35” fiction writers of 2012

— Winner of New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award —NPR Best Short Story Collection — A Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, and Time Out New York Best Book of the Year

Like the work of Cormac McCarthy, Denis Johnson, Richard Ford, and Annie Proulx, Battleborn represents a near-perfect confluence of sensibility and setting, and the introduction of an exceptionally powerful and original literary voice. In each of these 10 unforgettable stories, Claire Vaye Watkins writes her way fearlessly into the mythology of the American West, utterly reimagining it. Her characters orbit around the region’s vast spaces, winning redemption despite—and often because of—the hardship and violence they endure. You Are Not a Stranger Here Adam Haslett | Performed by various narrators CD $72.75 $36.38 | eAudio $65.00 $32.50 —Pulitzer Prize finalist —National Book Award finalist

—Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award —One of Time magazine’s 5 Best Books of the Year

An elderly inventor, burning with manic creativity, tries to reconcile with his estranged gay son. A bereaved boy draws a thuggish classmate into a relationship of escalating guilt and violence. A genteel middle-aged woman, a long-time resident of a psychiatric hospital, becomes the confidante of a lovelorn teenaged volunteer. Told with Chekhovian restraint and compassion, and conveying both the sorrow of life and the courage with which people rise to meet it, You Are Not a Stranger Here is a triumph of storytelling.
