On The Roast
Doug Nufer

Chiasmus Press, 2004

10: 01
Lance Olsen

Chiasmus Press, 2005

This book rocks
Lance Olsen's 10:01 is amazing. First of all, it's totally innovative and different from anything else I've read (and I've read a lot of novels!) It paints a picture of Middle America that's totally unsentimental and contemporary. It's multicultural, multilingual and ...

Voices From the Blue Hotel
Maya Sonenberg

Chiasmus, 2006

Each told by a different troubled narrator, the ten stories in Voices from the Blue Hotel hit emotion head on. They strike the deepest, most troubling emotions, the ones it's impossible to resolve or restrain, the ones that arise mysteriously, linger obnoxiously, and dissipate with excruciating slowness-except that these stories never allow their ...
  
  











  



  
Nightmare in Silicon
Colette Phair

Don't belive the tripe

Abecedarium
Davis Schneiderman, Carlos Hernandez

Chiasmus, 2007

"Each word he utters is mutilated..."

The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti
Stephen Graham Jones

Chiasmus, 2008

The Camopede Stalks
Coming along at around the same time as Ledfeather, Stephen Graham Jones 'The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti' is a great read. Written in a weekend, it reads as anything but. Video games and a father who can't quite kill himself make up Nolan Dugatti, who sits alone in ...
  
  











  



  
Parabola
Lily Hoang

Chiasmus, 2008

Beautiful Book!
I think the blurbs say it all: Rarely does an author as fresh as Lily Hoang do so many things with such sophistication: a daring writer, an aesthetic high-wire walker who makes big issues her baton, balances the weight of literary and personal history-and all while ...

My Last Days
Lou Rowan

Chiasmus, 2007

Lou Rowan's My Last Days takes us deep inside the American myth of Superman and Clark Kent where no prior version of our naturalized heroic savior's ineradicable story has dared to go. Be prepared for a wild ride on the back of the man of steel's poignant confessional autobiography into a satirical maelstrom of hilarity and moral outrage.
