by Anna Lawton“Simply spellbinding . . . a story at once about identity, love and social upheaval; a woman’s journey from old world to new; from Italy to America.” —Joe McGinniss Jr., author of Carousel CourtAfter Elena Ferrante, another powerful Italian voice emerges to tell us a tale of immigration with two strong women characters at its center, set against the background of American history, from the late ’60s to 2011.Amy’s Story begins with Amy, full name America, moving from Italy to New York City to live near her American father. Her journey from immigrant to successful publisher is intertwined with Stella, her childhood friend, whose unfinished memoir she intends to publish.They both experience love, friendship, obstacles, success, and more, as their journey runs parallel to the Vietnam War, student protests and the Kent State shooting, the birth of radicalism and feminism, presidential elections and assassinations, the Watergate scandal, up to the 9/11 attack and beyond.In the end, Stella’s memoir does not get published, because Amy transforms it into a very successful novel. This twist will have readers re-imagine the entire story and see it from a surprising new perspective.“A mesmerizing narrative that unspools like a good film. Anna Lawton is not only a scholar of the first rank, but a deft and artful novelist with a flair for the unexpected in her work.” —Louis Menashe, author of Moscow Believes in Tears“Anna Lawton’s ear for dialogue is spot on, and she introduces friends, colleagues, events, and geographic changes with assurance. The book is a wonderful summation of North America’s trials and tribulations over the past four decades.” —San Francisco Book Review

Amédée, The New Tenant, Victims of Duty: Three Plays (Books That Changed the World)
by Eugène IonescoThree hilarious and provocative plays by the absurdist pioneer who remains “one of the most important and influential figures in the modern theater” (Library Journal).The author of such modern classics as The Bald Soprano, Exit the King, Rhinoceros, and The Chairs, Eugene Ionesco’s plays have become emblematic of Absurdist theatre and the French avant-garde. This essential collection combines The New Tenant with Amédée and Victims of Duty—plays Richard Gilman has called, along with The Killer, Ionesco’s “greatest plays, works of the same solidity, fulness, and permanence as [those of] his predecessors in the dramatic revolution that began with Ibsen and is still going on.”In Amédée, the title character and his wife have a problem—not so much the corpse in their bedroom as the fact that it’s been there for fifteen years and is now growing, slowly but surely crowding them out of their apartment.In The New Tenant, a similar crowding is caused by an excess of furniture—as Harold Hobson said in the London Times, “there is not a dramatist . . . who can make furniture speak as eloquently as Ionesco, and here he makes it the perfect, the terrifying symbol of the deranged mind.”In Victims of Duty, Ionesco parodies the conformity of modern life by plunging his characters into an obscure search for “mallot with a t.”
Améfrica in Letters: Literary Interventions from Mexico to the Southern Cone (Hispanic Issues)
by Paulette Ramsay Juan Eduardo Wolf Eliseo Jacob Juan Guillermo Sánchez Martínez Michael Handelsman Gloria Chacón Ángela Castro Isis Barra Costa Diana Rodríguez Quevedo Mamadou BadianeTraditional histories of Black letters in Latin America have delimited their geographic scope to the Caribbean while also omitting intertwined Afro-Indigenous discourses. Inspired by the legacy of Amefrican thinker Lélia Gonzalez, Améfrica in Letters highlights the Black poets, songwriters, novelists, essayists, and bloggers who have created a counter-multiculturalist literary history on the Latin American mainland. To capture a sense of the variety of their contributions, this book spans Mexico, Central America, the Andes, and the Southern Cone—highlighting the transcontinental nature of the legacy of Black writing and its impact beyond national boundaries. The writers examined in the volume engage with regional intellectual frameworks while putting into circulation a demand for a recalibration of the Hispanophone and Lusophone contexts in which they and other Afrodescendants reside.

América del Norte
by Nicolás Medina MoraMoving between New York City, Mexico City, and Iowa City, a young member of the Mexican elite sees his life splinter in a centuries-spanning debut that blends the Latin American traditions of Roberto Bolaño and Fernanda Melchor with the autofiction of US writers like Ben Lerner and Teju Cole.Sebastián lived a childhood of privilege in Mexico City. Now in his twenties, he has a degree from Yale, an American girlfriend, and a slot in the University of Iowa&’s MFA program.But Sebastián&’s life is shaken by the Trump administration&’s restrictions on immigrants, his mother&’s terminal cancer, the cracks in his relationship, and his father&’s forced resignation at the hands of Mexico&’s new president. As he struggles through the Trump and López Obrador years, Sebastián must confront his father&’s role in the Mexican drug war and navigate his whiteness in Mexican contexts even as he is often perceived as a person of color in the US. As he does so, the novel moves through centuries of Mexican literary history, from the 17th century letters of a peevishly polymathic Spanish colonizer to the contemporary packaging of Mexican writers for a US audience.Split between the US and Mexico, this stunning debut explores whiteness, power, immigration, and the history of Mexican literature, to wrestle with the contradictory relationship between two countries bound by geography and torn apart by politics.
