Books of the Month

A young Palestinain-American girl embraces Islam to find herself amongst family turmoil and tragedy. I loved this book!
The Beauty of Your Face
A candid account of the fancy and frenzy of Guerneville in the 70's and 80's.
River Days, River Nights
A swirling portrait of a damned Mexican Village. A witch is dead and all of the villagers are investigating the murder.
Hurricane Season
Absolutely brilliant. Fizzes with energy-and with raunchiness, color , beauty and insight.
Irish Examiner
Iron Annie
An utterly absorbing piece of noir fiction.
Secret Identity
Deftly mix[es] research and reimagining.
The New York Times Book Review
The Art of Losing
I couldn’t put this book down. A masterfully written tale of an interpreter at The Hague who is interpreting the case of an African head of state accused of heinous crimes against his people.
Michael (proprietor)
Intimacies
Toni Morrison called novelist and poet Henry Dumas an “absolute genius.” An important collection of the black experience in the United States.
