“There Are Things I Want You to Know” About Stieg Larsson and Me Eva Gabrielsson With Marie-Françoise Colombani Translated by Linda Coverdale

There is only one person who can tell Stieg Larsson’s story other than himself, and that is his lifelong companion Eva Gabrielsson. “There Are Things I Want You to Know” About Stieg Larsson and Me is her book. Its title is taken from a poignant letter that Larsson wrote to Gabrielsson on the eve of a dangerous trip to Africa, where he thought he might be killed. He sealed the letter, instructing that it was to be opened only after his death. Gabrielsson found his note to her some thirty years later, soon after Larsson’s tragic death in 2004. Here, in the paperback edition of the independent bestseller, Gabrielsson tells of their thirty-year love story, of Stieg’s lifelong struggle to expose Sweden’s right-wing extremists, of his struggle to keep the magazine he founded, Expo, alive, his difficult relationships with his family, and the joy and relief he discovered writing The Millenium Trilogy. • New preface by the author • Author interviews from Sweden • Author tour to Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, and other cities in June 2012 • Major national and international review coverage • Promotion with book clubs • Online advertising • Reading group guide available on www.sevenstories.com • Excerpt available on http://issuu.com/ sevenstories/docs/therearethings

“[Larsson] fans will not be disappointed . . . Remarkable.” —David Carr, The New York Times Book Review “Eva Gabrielsson, [Stieg Larsson’s] life partner, tells us the reasons he was able to see through female eyes.” —Gloria Steinem “[A] candid, moving work.” —Publishers Weekly “As a legal drama, [‘There Are Things I Want You to Know’ About Stieg Larsson and Me] is compelling. As a story of two lives entwined, for three decades of working toward something that was never shared, it’s even more.” —Kate Carraway, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Eva Gabrielsson is an architect and author in Sweden of books on a variety of subjects including concubinage and architecture. She is the translator of Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle into Swedish, and she has been involved with Expo magazine since its founding by her longtime partner, the late Stieg Larsson. Marie-Françoise Colombani is a columnist at French Elle magazine and the author, most recently, of a book of interviews with Socialist presidential candidate Ségolène Royal. Winner of the Scott Moncrieff Prize and twice awarded the FrenchAmerican Foundation Translation Prize, Linda Coverdale is a distinguished translator of dozens of francophone authors into English, including Marguerite Duras, Jorge Semprún, Jean Hatzfeld, and Emmanuel Carrère.

“In this epic collection of essays, famous feminists Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Gloria Steinem, and many others explore everything from midwifery to abortion to the pharmaceutical industry’s disregard of women. . . . The task these editors have set themselves is daunting—how to honestly assimilate so complex a topic while doing service to its history, future, and interdisciplinary intricacies—and they accomplish it with aplomb.” —Publishers Weekly “In 1969, Barbara Seaman proved that women can talk back to doctors—calmly, rationally, and scientifically. For many of us, women’s liberation began at that moment.” —Barbara Ehrenreich BARBARA SEAMAN’s first book, The Doctors’ Case Against the Pill (1969), prompted senate hearings, exposed the biases of the medical establishment regarding women’s health issues, and inspired women around the world to take control of their health. LAURA ELDRIDGE is a women’s health writer and activist. Her latest book is In Our Control: The Complete Guide to Contraceptive Choices for Women (Seven Stories Press, 2010).

The Night Wanderers

Uganda’s Children and the Lord’s Resistance Army

Wojciech Jagielski Translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones

On an average night in northern Uganda, tens of thousands of children head for the city centers to avoid capture by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). They find refuge on the floors of aid agencies or in the streets. In recent years, the civil society was almost completely destroyed by the LRA, itself made up almost entirely of kidnapped children. Piecing together what has been broken is proving to be a nearly impossible task. Polish journalist Wojciech Jagielski inserts himself into this hellish landscape and finds a way to speak of these children and their wounded world. In The Night Wanderers, Jagielski shows his readers the horror of children who have been abducted from their homes and forced to kill their own family members; children who, even after they have escaped the LRA, carry the weight of their own acts of murder on their young shoulders. Jagielski portrays Uganda through their eyes as well as his own. The original Polish edition of The Night Wanderers is shortlisted for the Nike Prize, considered to be the most prestigious literary award in Poland.

“A disturbing, thought-provoking account of an under-reported and tragic story.” —Edward Lucas, international editor, The Economist “Jagielski’s moving, beautiful, and winding account of Uganda’s sad history of multiple conflicts leaves one mourning the suffering so many have endured and questioning to what extent the current government can provide long term solutions for the generations who survived.” —Maria E. Burnett, Senior Researcher, Human Rights Watch Africa Division “This is not strictly a journalistic account of war and mayhem; it is something more powerful and lasting: a literary sojourn through an African landscape of haunted horrors, observed with extraordinary patience and empathy by an exceptional writer and reporter.” —Pamela Constable, author of Playing with Fire: Pakistan at War with Itself and Fragments of Grace: My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia WOJCIECH JAGIELSKI is a reporter at Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland’s first and biggest independent daily, where he specializes in Africa, Central Asia, the Trans-Caucasus, and the Caucasus. Jagielski is the recipient of the Dariusz Fikus Award and the Letterature dal Fronte Award (Italy) for his book Towers of Stone: The Battle of Wills in Chechnya, which Seven Stories published in English in 2009.

10 Years that shook the world A Timeline of Events from 2001

Loretta Napoleoni More than a timeline of an extraordinary decade, 10 Years That Shook the World maps the critical events of 2001–2011 that will define generations to come, including the rise of the internet and social media, the economic crash, and, of course, 9/11 and the wars on terror. Written in tweet-like bursts of information, the patterns of change are connected in a stark and powerful way. Within each year, Napoleoni presents events not in a strict chronology but more as we might remember them, often with the most significant ones recalled first. Thus the main topics—politics, economics, people, technology, and the environment—cross over constantly, showing how they are all interlinked and how globalization is speeding up the pace of change in our world.

The Unfinished Revolution

Voices from the Global Fight for Women’s Rights

Minky Worden Introduction by Christiane Amanpour

Ending abuses of women and girls could change the game for human rights worldwide. The Unfinished Revolution sets out how and why we should make women’s lives matter. Writers from around the world tackle some of the toughest questions about improving the lives of women, and explain why we need fresh approaches in analyzing what works for the most vexing issues. “Women’s rights are human rights” became a rallying call for women’s equality and freedom in a series of UN conferences in the 1990s, when prospects for women leading lives of dignity and equality finally seemed within reach. Since then, how far have women in the world progressed? This anthology outlines the recent history of legal and political battles to secure basic rights for women and girls. Top policymakers, human rights experts, writers, and artists with unique perspectives will address topics from violence against women to property rights to the role of international institutions. Perhaps most important, readers will hear from women who have been victims of human rights abuses and others who have fought such abuses, in their own voices.

Rise of the Videogame Zinesters

How Freaks, Normals, Amateurs, Artists, Dreamers, Dropouts, Queers, Housewives, and People Like You Are Taking Back an Art Form

Anna Anthropy

Part critical essay, part manifesto, part DIY guide, and altogether unprecedented, Rise of the Videogame Zinesters shows why the multibillion-dollar videogame industry needs to change—and how a new generation of artists can change it. Pixel-provacateur Anna Anthropy launches the first intergalactic offensive against the corporate systems of production, condescending media coverage, and pervasive “gamer” culture of privilege and misogyny that has so far obscured the potential of what could be the defining cultural medium of the new millennium: videogames. The first book of its kind, Rise of the Videogame Zinesters is at once a history of the videogame industry, a look at the new artists from diverse backgrounds who are beginning to build an alternative body of work, and a guide for anyone—especially nonprogrammers, underrepresented groups, and anyone who’s never even thought of making a videogame—who wants to join the coming revolution.

Hamas

From Resistance to Government

Paola Caridi Translated by Andrea Teti

The Palestinian elections of 2006 changed modern Middle East history—as well as changing the perception of the Israel/ Palestine conflict around the world. How, Westerners asked, could a secular people elect a radical Islamist group, one that openly advocated violence against the Israeli government and its people, to lead them? How could ordinary Palestinians support the violent resistance their newly-elected government had dedicated itself to? How could a “failure of democracy” on this level be explained? Italian journalist Paola Caridi’s Hamas: From Resistance to Government tells the story of a movement, caught between the desire to resist its oppressor and the need to provide support for a refugee people, suddenly thrust into the role of the sole effective government of a war-torn region. Caridi, informed by years of on-the-ground research and interviews from the residents of Gaza themselves, covers the history of Gaza from its “golden age” as a port city in the fifth century A.D. through the formal birth and slow militarization of Hamas, continuing through Operation Cast Lead, the shocking WikiLeaks disclosures, and the Cairo Revolution into the present day. In so doing, Caridi’s Hamas performs, with intelligence, dexterity, and heart, the central function of history: to look at a people’s actions through that people’s eyes, to reveal the strange complexities behind the controversy, and to explain one of the key players in the search for the road to peace and justice that runs through the central crisis of the Middle East today. • Major review attention • Op-ed by the author at time of publication • Author events in NYC and DC • Excerpt available on http://issuu.com/sevenstories/docs/hamas

“The historical account does not content itself with providing the most subtle details concerning the origins, organisational structure, and ideology of [Hamas], but digs under the surface in order to offer to the readers a realistic and scientific analysis of the movement in all its manifold dimensions. The result is a very readable book which represents the much-needed critical synthesis of the literature about Hamas.” —International Spectator

The House of Moses All-Stars

A Novel

Charley Rosen

Featuring a new preface, The House of Moses All-Stars is a hilarious road novel about an all-Jewish basketball team traveling in a renovated hearse through Depression-era America in search of redemption and big money, and considered by many to be one of the best basketball novels—a vivid and historically based account by basketball’s most celebrated writer. Depicting the travails of a young Jewish man, desperate after a series of professional and personal misfortunes, who joins a Jewish professional basketball team at the height of the Depression, The House of Moses All-Stars is a passionate portrayal of Aaron Steiner’s struggle to realize his dreams in a country struggling to recover its ideals. As the members of his motley crew travel West to California through an antiSemitic land that disdains and rebuffs them, they discover that their nation is as confused as they are—torn between its fears of foreigners and poverty, and its belief in democratic ideals of tolerance and opportunity. Told with a rueful eye, The House of Moses All-Stars looks critically and lovingly at what it means to be an outsider in America. • Excerpt available on http://issuu.com/sevenstories/docs/houseofmoses

The Autism Puzzle

Connecting the Dots Between Environmental Toxins and Rising Autism Rates

Brita Belli The alarming spike in autism in recent years has sent doctors and parents on a search for answers. And while many controversies have erupted around the issue, none have gotten us any closer to a definitive explanation, and many key concerns remain unexplored. Moving beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate, The Autism Puzzle is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be impacting the brain development of children. Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism, as she explores the possible causes. She interprets for readers compelling evidence that environmental toxins—including common exposures from chemicals mounting in our everyday lives—may be sparking this disorder in vulnerable children. Belli calls for an end to the use of materials—like toxic flame retardants used in electronics and furniture, which have been banned elsewhere—that are hazardous, insisting that we cannot afford to experiment with our children. The Autism Puzzle puts a human face on the families caught in between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.

Lumumba and the Early Films of Raoul Peck

Raoul Peck introduction by Bertrand Tavernier

Among today’s leading filmmakers, none brings to the screen such a deep awareness of how power is channeled from First to Third World societies, or exhibits such great human sensitivity, as Raoul Peck, whose seminal film Lumumba, and three other early feature and documentary screenplays, are collected here for the first time. In this collection are Raoul Peck’s award-winning pair of films that cemented the director’s place in the internationalist cinema canon—the documentary Lumumba: Death of Prophet and the 2000 feature film Lumumba—about the life and assassination of Republic of Congo Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, and about what Haitian immigration brought to bear on the Congo. Also included are Raoul Peck’s first feature, Haitian Corner—set during the last, violent breaths of Haiti’s Duvalier regime—which asserted a Haitian Creole identity in Brooklyn in the 1980s, and The Man by the Shore, the first Haitian film ever to be screened in theaters in the United States and the first Caribbean film ever entered into competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Each film presented includes introductions by the author, production stills, storyboards, and poster art.

“Raoul Peck . . . pays meticulous attention to feelings, small details, and behavioral characteristics that many directors eliminate because they feel they don’t carry the action forward. But for Raoul Peck the action consists in x-raying power relationships, and the human and social damage they cause. His is a cinema that wants to show, simply and unostentatiously, which is not so common, that the first revolutionary principle consists in saying, like George Orwell, that 2+2 = 4, in the hope that the rest will follow.” —Director Bertrand Tavernier, from the foreword

RAOUL PECK’s feature films and documentaries explore internationalist themes of inequality and offer compelling depictions of Haiti under political duress. In addition to filmmaking, Peck has served as Haiti’s minister of culture. In 2001 he received the Human Rights Watch Lifetime Achievement Award. His most recent film is Moloch Tropical. CATHERINE TEMERSON’s most recent translations include Amin Maalouf’s Origins, Elie Wiesel’s A Mad Desire to Dance, and Florence Noiville’s Isaac B. Singer: A Life.

God in Pain

Inversions of Apocalypse

Slavoj Žižek and Boris Gunjević Translated by Ellen Elias-Bursać

A brilliant dissection and reconstruction of the three major faith-based systems of belief in the world today—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—by one of the world’s most articulate philosophers, Slavoj Žižek, in conversation with Croatian theologian and priest Boris Gunjevi´c. God in Pain: Inversions of Apocalypse shows how each of the world’s major faith-based systems of thought understand humanity and divinity—and how the differences between the faiths may be far stranger than they may at first seem. Publishers Weekly has called Žižek “One of the few living writers to combine theoretical rigor with compulsive readability.” And none other than Terry Eagleton has described him as “that rare breed of writer—one who is both lucid and esoteric.”

Imagining Paradise

New and Selected Poems

Barry Gifford

At once erudite and plainspoken, imaginative and grounded in the grittily lunatic fundamentals of the human heart, here is the author’s definitive selection of his verse: the writings of an underground poet who lasted. Published in The New Yorker, La Nouvelle Revue Française, and in nearly a hundred magazines and poetry journals from Los Angeles to Tokyo, from Lawrence, Kansas to Rome, Madrid, Paris, London, Beijing, and Bucharest, poems by Barry Gifford have been describing and changing our world for nearly half a century. Here for the first time in one volume is the poet’s own choice of work from his nine previous collections, as well as a rich selection of new poems. Altogether, these poems describe a universe that is as populous and diverse as it is ephemeral and evanescent. Born of the world and of books and art in equal measure, they tell of the unyielding granite truths of people’s rollercoaster lives. And always there is the poet looking back, facing life and death and everything in between with equanimity, holding a steady hand to the quivering breast wherever there is breath.

“These poems are like zen dominoes: no matter how shuffled, they always seem to come out right.” —Booklist “At his best, Gifford recalls William Carlos Williams: particular, lyrical but laconic, compassionate but unsentimental.” —Publishers Weekly “Barry Gifford’s pure lyrical self shines in these poems.” —Andrei Codrescu

The author of more than forty published works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that have been translated into twenty-eight languages, BARRY GIFFORD began his writing life as a poet and musician. His novel Wild at Heart was made into a film by David Lynch, which won the Palm d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and his novel Perdita Durango was made into a feature film by Alex de la Iglesia.

Drugs

A Novel

J. R. Helton

Jake is a functional drug user in America. He accompanies his coke dealer who beats up delinquent clients in parking lots, he shops for opiates at corporate health and beauty clinics, he falls in love with his wife during a series of mushroom trips in San Antonio and Austin, and he binges on nitrous oxide canisters to spectral visions of Julianne Moore. Along the way, Jake explains the effects of the drugs he’s done—on his body and on his soul—as he lampoons an America that denies its own fondness for drugs. The contemporary heir of William S. Burroughs’s classic Junky, J. R. Helton’s novel Drugs shows us—through sly wit, deceptively powerful prose, and the unmistakable ring of truth—a side of America that most of us allow to remain hidden in plain sight.

A Man’s Place Annie Ernaux Introduction by Francine Prose

Annie Ernaux’s father died exactly two months after she passed her practical examination for a teaching certificate. Barely educated and valued since childhood strictly for his labor, Ernaux’s father had grown into a hard, practical man who showed his family little affection. Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux’s cold observation reveals the shame that haunted him throughout his life. She scrutinizes the importance he attributed to manners and language that came so unnaturally to him as he struggled to provide for his family with a grocery store and cafe in rural France. Over the course of the book, Ernaux grows up to become the uncompromising observer now familiar to the world, while her father matures into old age with a staid appreciation for life as it is and for a daughter he cautiously, even reluctantly admires. Featuring a new introdution by Francine Prose, A Man’s Place is the companion book to her critically acclaimed memoir about her mother, A Woman’s Story.

“A Man’s Place is among the most subtle, compressed, engrossing, delicate, understated, and thoughtful books ever written about family, about class, about growing up and leaving home.” —Francine Prose, from the introduction “A masterpiece . . . unlike any other contemporary writing . . . overwhelming.” —Paris-Match “A fine literary success, vibrant with contained emotion and reserve.” —Le Monde “Unsentimental with no obvious literary artifice and with intoxicating precision.” —Le Nouvel Observateur Born in 1940 in Normandy, Annie Ernaux grew up in the village of Yvetot, studied at Rouen University, and began teaching high school. Her books, in particular A Man’s Place and A Woman’s Story, have become contemporary classics in France. Ernaux won the prestigious Prix Renaudot for A Man’s Place when it was first published in French in 1984.

Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You in All the Confusion?

A Novel

Johan Harstad Translated by Deborah Dawkin

In Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You in All the Confusion?, readers follow a man who wishes not to be followed, a man who, after a series of personal and professional disasters, finds himself lying on a rain-soaked road in the desolate, treeless Faroe Islands, population only a few thousand, a wad of bills in his pocket and no memory of how he had come to be there. From there, Brage Award–winning author and playwright Johan Harstad’s debut novel—previously published to great success in eleven countries and made its first Englishlanguage appearance in June 2011—tells the story of Mattias, a thirty-something gardener living in Stavanger, Norway, whose idol is Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon: the man who was willing to stand in Neil Armstrong’s shadow in order to work, diligently and humbly, for the success of the Apollo 11 mission.

“The austere landscape and people of the Faroes become players in Harstad’s poetic narrative, half-dramatic and halfcomic, which takes on memorable turns with every page as Mattias realizes just how not in control of his destiny he really is. A modern saga of rocketships, ice floes, and dreams of the Caribbean, and great fun to read.” —Kirkus Reviews “The poetic writing, believably broken but redeemable characters, and the author’s artful rendering of the Faroes’ barren landscape are what make Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You In All the Confusion? a pleasure to read.” —Mark Flanagan, About.com “It’s rock ’n’ roll, then heartbreaking, then rock ’n’ roll again. I devoured every line.” —Paolo Giordano, author of The Solitude of Prime Numbers “It doesn’t always have to be crime novels that come from Scandinavia. What twenty-seven-year-old Johan Harstad has written is quite plainly a work of genius.” —Bucherwelt (Germany)

The Graphic Canon, Vol. 1

From Gilgamesh to Shakespeare to Dangerous Liaisons

Edited by Russ Kick The classic literary canon meets the comics artists, illustrators, and other contemporary artists who have remade reading in Russ Kick’s magisterial, three-volume, full-color The Graphic Canon, volumes 1, 2, and 3. Volume 1 takes us on a visual tour from the earliest literature through the end of the 1700s. We’re treated to eye-popping renditions of the human race’s greatest epics—Gilgamesh, The Iliad, The Odyssey (in watercolors by Gareth Hinds), Aeneid, Beowulf, and The Arabian Nights, plus later epics The Divine Comedy and The Canterbury Tales (both by Seymour Chwast) and Paradise Lost—as well as two of ancient Greece’s greatest plays, Euripides’ tragedy Medea and Aristophanes’ bawdy comedy Lysistrata. Also included is Robert Crumb’s rarely seen adaptation of James Boswell’s London Journal, filled with philosophical debate and lowbrow debauchery. Religious lit is well covered: the Books of Daniel and Esther, Rick Geary’s new rendition of the Book of Revelation, the Tao Te Ching, Rumi’s Sufi poetry, and the Mayan holy book Popol Vuh. The Eastern canon gets its due, with The Tale of Genji, three poems from China’s golden age of literature by Sharon Rudahl, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and other works from Asia. Two of Shakespeare’s greatest plays and two of his sonnets are here, as are Plato’s Symposium, Gulliver’s Travels, Candide, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Renaissance poetry of love and desire, and Don Quixote visualized by the legendary Will Eisner. Unexpected twists in this volume include a Native American folktale, an Incan play, Sappho’s poetic fragments, essays by Benjamin Franklin, love letters of Abelard and Héloïse, and the decadent French classic Dangerous Liaisons, as illustrated by Molly Crabapple. For The Graphic Canon, Vol. 2, see page 56.

The Book of OBAMA

From Hope and Change to the Age of Revolt

Ted Rall

How did a charismatic young president elected in an atmosphere of optimism and expectation lead the United States to the brink of revolution? From a chance encounter in the early 1980s to the Democratic primaries of 2007–08, syndicated columnist and political cartoonist Ted Rall was one of the first to size up Barack Obama as we know him now: conservative, risk-averse, and tonedeaf. In The Book of Obama, Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall of Obama—and the emergence of the Tea Party and Occupy movements—and draws a startling conclusion: We the People weren’t lied to. We lied to ourselves, both about Obama and the two-party system. We voted when we ought to have revolted.

The Derrick Jensen Reader

Writings on Environmental Revolution

Derrick Jensen Edited by Lierre Keith

In an age marked by seemingly unstoppable environmental collapse and the urgent quest for solutions, environmental philosopher Derrick Jensen, the voice of the growing deep ecology movement, reveals for us new seeds of hope. Here for the first time in The Derrick Jensen Reader are collected generous selections from his prescient, unflinching books on the problem of civilization and the path to true resistance. In the acclaimed A Language Older Than Words, Jensen dissects his own abusive childhood to examine the pathology of Western culture and shares with us the power and beauty of an alliance with the natural world. He continues to use the lens of his own experience as well as the wisdom of philosophers, activists, and teachers to expose oppression and call us to action in his other early works, Listening to the Land, A Culture of Make Believe, Strangely Like War, and Walking on Water. We see his analysis deepen when he asks us to accept that the only moral response to biocide is resistance in the two-volume Endgame, a truth he explores further in Thought to Exist in the Wild, What We Leave Behind, the graphic novel As the World Burns, and in his two novels, Songs of the Dead and Lives Less Valuable. And in Dreams and Deep Green Resistance, Jensen’s latest works, he leads us still further toward his vision for a healed planet, freeing us to see beyond the limits of our present culture to a future luminous with meaning.

The Old Garden Hwang Sok-yong Translated by Jay Oh

As South Korea violently changed from a military dictatorship to a democratic state, an idealistic activist and a brazen painter shared a brief love affair that would impact the rest of their lives. Hyun Woo is fleeing authorities for his participation in the Kwangju Uprising and for promoting democracy in South Korea when he meets and falls in love with Yoon Hee. Their idyllic time together is cut short when Hyun Woo is captured and thrown in prison. Nearly two decades later, he is released to find Korea aggressively modernized, democratic in name, but filled with inequality and corruption. His former comrades are old and jaded, and Yoon Hee, never allowed to see him during his imprisonment, has died. Drifting to an old house in the countryside where they once sought refuge, Hyun Woo finds Yoon Hee’s letters, diaries, and paintings that document the extraordinary life of the woman he loved and lost. He recalls the circumstances that brought him to Yoon Hee and the lifetime they spent apart. As his world shrank in prison, hers expanded as she fought off the loneliness of his absence and witnessed the dramatic events of their country’s recent history, the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany, and the harsh natural landscape of Siberia. He also learns that she has left him a living legacy that will help him find his way again. • Excerpt available on http://issuu.com/ sevenstories/docs/oldgarden

“Sok-yong’s attention to detail is especially powerful . . .

The author’s vivid imagery and veridical descriptions of the activists hiding ‘underground,’ the aftermath of the Kwangju Massacre, and torture at the hand of prison guards is affecting.” —Feminist Review “In The Old Garden . . . [Hwang] did not only content himself with the depiction of the Kwangju uprising . . . he inscribed it in the greater context of South Korea’s contemporary history, immersing the reader in its tumultuous flow and in the personal lives that were taken away with the tide of events.” —Dramastyle The recipient of Korea’s highest literary prizes, Hwang Sok-yong is the author of nine works of fiction, and has been published in six languages. His novels in English include The Shadow of Arms, inspired by his experiences as a Korean soldier in the Vietnam War, and The Guest, based on the true account of a violent clash between Communist and Christian neighbors in a Korean village during the Korean War. His most recent bestsellers in Korea, where Hwang Sok-yong is arguably that country’s most popular and widely read writer, include Baridegi (Princess Bari) and Gaebapbaragibyeol (The Evening Star), a coming-of-age novel that Hwang Sok-yong wrote as a blog.

Real Common Sense

Using our Founding Values to Reclaim Our Nation for the 99%

Brian Kahn

Real Common Sense insists that America, plagued with consumerism and private interests, has strayed from its founding principles and the vision for America of our forefathers. Brian Kahn exposes the deceptions of the extreme Right and reminds us of the real Tom Paine who would be baffled to have “inspired” this explosion of reactionary politics. Real Common Sense reminds us of the great principles and values on which our country was founded—freedom, equality, democracy—and how previous generations have fought for them in the very best moments in our nation’s history. And it calls on us, during these difficult times, to pick up the torch and do what needs to be done if we are to create an America worthy of our grandchildren.

Occupy Econ 101 Kalle Lasn Edited by Adbusters

From the editor and magazine that started and named the Occupy Wall Street movement, Occupy Econ 101 is an articulation of what could be the next steps in rethinking and remaking our world that challenges and debunks many of the assumptions of neoclassical economics and brings to light a more ecological model. Occupy Econ 101 aims to accelerate the shift into this new paradigm that takes into account psychonomics, bionomics, and other aspects of our physical and mental environment that are often left out in discussions of economics. Like Adbusters, the book will be image heavy and full color throughout, a textbook for the future that provides the building blocks, in texts and visuals, for a new way of looking at and changing our world. Through an examination of alternative economies, Lasn spurs students to become “barefoot economists” and to see that a humanization of economics is possible. Occupy Econ 101 will include contributions from Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Samuelson, George Akerlof, Lourdes Benería, Julie Matthaei, Manfred Max-Neef, David Orrell, Paul Gilding, Mathis Wackernagel, and the father of ecological economics Herman Daly, among others.

American Woman

Personal Essays by First Generation Immigrant Women

Meri Nana-Ama Danquah

Is it possible to enter into a new place without surrendering your old self and all that defines it? Having immigrated to the United States at all stages of life and from countries around the world, the women in this extraordinary collection explore this question of definition and language: the language of longing, of romance, of estrangement. Containing additional essays since it was first published in 2000, Becoming American holds a renewed urgency after a long decade of walls and wars, and speaks to all our engaged citizenry with quiet wisdom. Contributors include Nina Barragan (Argentina), Lilianet Brintrup (Chile), Veronica Chambers (Panama), Judith Ortiz Cofer (Puerto Rico), Edwidge Danticat (Haiti), Gabrielle Donnelly (England), Lynn Freed (South Africa), Akuyoe Graham (Ghana), Lucy Grealy (Ireland), Suheir Hammad (Jordan/Palestine), Ginu Kamani (India), Nola Kambanda (Burund/Rwanda), Helen Kim (Korea), Helie Lee (Korea), Kyoko Mori (Japan), Irina Reyn (Russia), Nelly Rosario (Dominican Republic), Ute Margaret Saine (Germany), Rosanne Katon-Walden (Jamaica), Annette Gallagher Weisman (Ireland), Mitsuye Yamada (Japan), Belle Yang (China), Joyce Zonana (Egypt), and many more.

The Graphic Canon, Vol. 2

From Kubla Khan to the Brontë Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray

Edited by Russ Kick The classic literary canon meets the comics artists, illustrators, and other artists who have remade reading in Russ Kick’s magisterial, three-volume, full-color The Graphic Canon, volumes 1, 2, and 3. Volume 2 gives us a visual cornucopia based on the wealth of literature from the 1800s. Several artists—including Maxon Crumb and Gris Grimly—present their versions of Edgar Allan Poe’s visions. We see two stunning but very different takes on the greatest American novel, Moby-Dick, while that other greatest American novel, Huckleberry Finn, is adapted uncensored for the first time, as Twain wrote it. Shelley, Keats, Byron, the Brontë sisters, and Coleridge are interpreted here, and philosophy and science are represented by ink versions of Thus Spake Zarathustra and On the Origin of Species. Frankenstein, Les Misérables, Great Expectations, Middlemarch, Anna Karenina, Crime and Punishment, Walden, Leaves of Grass, and the poetry of Rimbaud and Dickinson are reimagined. Ten magnificent full-page collages tell the story of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Pride and Prejudice has never looked this splendiferous! This volume is a special treat for Lewis Carroll fans. Dame Darcy puts her unmistakable stamp on the Alice books in a new sixteen-page tour-de-force, while a dozen other artists present their most famous characters and moments from Wonderland. There’s also a gorgeous silhouetted telling of “Jabberwocky,” and Mahendra’s Singh’s surrealistic take on “The Hunting of the Snark.” Curveballs in this volume include fairy tales illustrated by S. Clay Wilson, a fiery speech from freed slave Frederick Douglass (rendered by Seth Tobocman), a letter on reincarnation from Flaubert, the Victorian erotic classic Venus in Furs, the drug classic The Hasheesh Eater, and silk-screened illustrations for the ghastly children’s classic Der Struwwelpeter. For The Graphic Canon, Vol. 1, see page 40.

A Different Mirror for Young People

A History of Multicultural America

Ronald Takaki Adapted by Rebecca Stefoff A longtime professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, Ronald Takaki was recognized as one of the foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. When the first edition of A Different Mirror was published in 1993, Publishers Weekly called it “a brilliant revisionist history of America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural studies” and named it one of the ten best books of the year. Now Rebecca Stefoff, who adapted Howard Zinn’s best-selling A People’s History of the United States for younger readers, turns the updated 2008 edition of Takaki’s multicultural masterwork into A Different Mirror for Young People. Drawing on Takaki’s vast array of primary sources, and staying true to his own words whenever possible, A Different Mirror for Young People brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems. Like Zinn’s A People’s History, Takaki’s A Different Mirror offers a rich and rewarding “people’s view” perspective on the American story. • Ads in Radical History and History Teacher • Promotion at ALA, CLA, and to more of the library market • Store and school events with Rebecca Stefoff in Portland

“Professor Ronald Takaki examines the challenges we face in reconciling our differences and forming a secure, sustainable future for our country. Now more than ever, it’s essential that we understand and embrace our diversity if we are to grow together as a nation.” —President Bill Clinton “Takaki’s book . . . is a laudable effort—humane, well informed, accessible, and often incisive. It is clearly not intended to divide Americans but rather to teach them to value the nations’ inescapable diversity.” —New York Times Book Review “A Different Mirror advances a truly humane sense of American possibility.” —Henry Louis Gates Jr. RONALD TAKAKI (1939–2009) was recognized as one of the foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. He is the author of the multiple award-winning books Strangers from a Distant Shore: A History of Asian Americans and A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America. REBECCA STEFOFF is the author of more than 100 nonfiction books for children and young adults, and she has adapted several best-selling history books for younger readers, including Howard Zinn’s masterpiece, published as A Young People’s History of the United States by Seven Stories Press.

About seven stories Institute Seven Stories Press’s mission, paraphrasing Nelson Algren, dwells more on the American reality than the American dream. But writing and publishing is only part of the story. Today, many communities do not have reasonable access to good books or contact with authors, whether it’s because they are poor, non–English speaking, underserved by bookstores, inadequately wired, or, as is often the case, they face all of these challenges. Seven Stories Institute was founded in 2004 as a response to this dearth, with the mission to bring books and connect authors to the very people who could benefit most from them. Over the years, the Institute has organized and hosted events in Spanish and English with Ariel Dorfman, Paco Taibo, Howard Zinn, and the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective.

In 2009, with the support of the Lannan Foundation and the National Book Foundation, the Institute celebrated the 100th anniversary of Algren’s birth with a sold-out performance entitled Nelson Algren Live at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre, with Russell Banks, Willem Dafoe, Don DeLillo, Barry Gifford, Rick Kogan, Martha Lavey, Randall Newsome, Kathy Scambiatterra, and Dan Simon. In Spring 2011, Seven Stories Institute co-developed and facilitated, in conjunction with People’s Theatre Project, the writing and theater program “Voices: Our Young People Speak,” during which teens from Northern Manhattan and the South Bronx studied Howard Zinn’s A Young People’s History of the United States, then produced a book and theatrical performance based on their own histories. The second year of the program will launch in January 2012. In Summer 2011, the Institute was instrumental in launching Word Up, a 100% volunteer-powered community bookshop in Northern Manhattan—the area that has the highest concentration of children and youth living in a district in Manhattan, yet also an area where a general-interest, multi-language community bookshop had not been present for several generations.
