In the Province of the Gods
Kenny Fries

“Kenny Fries writes out of the pure hot emergency of a mortal being trying to keep himself alive. So much is at stake here—health, affection, culture, trauma, language—but its greatest surprise is what thrives in the midst of suffering. A beautiful book.”
—Paul Lisicky, author of The Narrow Door

All Abroad
Geoffrey Weill

“If like me, you adhere to the adage that it's the journey and not the destination that matters, then this utterly fascinating tale of a man's obsessive travel and obsession with every detail of traveling is the book for you! But this is so much more than just a glamorous travelogue. It's a tender memoir of an eccentric family scattered across the globe, a searing commentary on institutionalized antisemitism and a celebration of the life of a joyous nomad named Geoffrey Weill.”
—Alan Cumming
