Minnesota Author Releases New Suspenseful Thriller Novels – The Garbage Collector Series
by BWW News Desk - October 05, 2013
Hang on to your seat as this thriller story unfolds with its suspense and intertwined web of romance, lies, sex, crime, and a plethora of unusual events as they climax, and convey deep emotions, and vivid erotic images. What starts out to be romance between Patsy and Hank ends up having an unforeseen ending for Patsy and Dirk. The Minnesota author, Justice Gray, has done an excellent job in creating her characters in this great piece of literature. While reading this romance novel, it may seem at first to be startling, but happens every day. Look around you; you may know someone who has a secret life just like her characters. Patsy makes up stories of abuse in order to get away from her husband whom she is bored with and doesn't have much, but soon decides she can make lots of money if she prostitutes herself-first to men, then to women. Dirk and Patsy join criminal forces, with Dirk being Patsy's pimp; later Patsy plans to groom her daughter for teenage prostitution. Their high rich lifestyle has them running out of money in a short time, so they constantly come up with ways to mooch off other people. When that isn't enough, Dirk steals money from his elderly parents who have signs of dementia, and then plots to kill them-twice. Could it be a tragic ending for Patsy and Dirk, or not...?

New Poems by Efrayim Levenson from Poets Wear Prada Take the Reader on a Three-Day Journey of Cranial Amusement
by BWW News Desk - October 05, 2013
Roxanne Hoffman, publisher at Poets Wear Prada, announced today publication of 'Funhouse' by poet Efrayim Levenson. 'Funhouse,' written while Levenson listened to the music of guitarist Buckethead, is a three-day journey in a surreal amusement park filled with sea lions, guitars, monsters, crickets, spiders, a guillotine, a human pretzel, more guitars, a traffic jam, drought, grasshoppers, angels, and even more guitars. The book's production editor, Jack Cooper, said, 'Funhouse' is superb; it reads beautifully, uncovers much that is profound, and remains full of surprise.' 'Efrayim Levenson's 'Funhouse' sends us on a wild nightmarish yet at times tender merry-go-round ride through his own private Coney Island and ours,' said New York poet Steve Dalachinsky. David Elsasser, founder of Parkside Poetry Collective, said, 'In his new chapbook, 'Funhouse,' Efrayim Levenson responds to the guitar virtuosity of Buckethead with a poetic soul-jouney that reverbs through the wildest word riffs.' 'I have been addicted to writing poetic interpretations of instrumental music for about seven years now,' says Efrayim Levenson. 'This project was a lot of fun! I hope Buckethead likes it.' This is Efrayim Levenson's second book project with Poets Wear Prada. In 2007, the Hoboken-based press released 'Dances With Tears,' a walk along a path of spiritual discovery. The book, described as a "blast of Hasidic bebop ecstasy" by Brooklyn poet Craig Fishbane, includes the poem '& Ribbon,' which was nominated for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. Poetrymanz Press released his previous collection, 'For My Relations,' in 2000. Founded in 2006, Poets Wear Prada publishes beautifully designed, well-crafted books of poetry from Sinatra's hometown, Hoboken, the birthplace of professional baseball. 'Funhouse' by Efrayim Levenson (Hoboken: Poets Wear Prada, 2013), 42 pages, ISBN- 10: 0615848850, ISBN-13: 978-0615848853, list price: $12.00, is available in paperback from Amazon Books and other popular booksellers.

Glagoslav Publications Set to Appear at Frankfurt Book Fair 2013
by BWW News Desk - October 04, 2013
Victor Yerofeyev is a living classic of Russian literature, one of the most acclaimed Russian authors abroad, and a dissident who was described in a recent documentary about his life as 'the Russian libertine'. Yerofeyev has been a key public figure in Russia. In 1992 he was awarded the Nabokov Award, and in 2006 made a member of the French Order of Arts and Letters. Yerofeyev served as editor of the anthology The Penguin Book of New Russian Writing. The author is a contributor to The New Yorker magazine and hosts a popular program on Russian television. An autobiographical novel Good Stalin is inspired by Yerofeyev's experience growing up amidst the Soviet political hierarchy. His father, a staunch Stalinist who has dedicated his life and soul to the party, begins as Stalin's personal interpreter, and rises rapidly to the top of the political career, which has been ruined by his son's involvement in the world of dissident literature. The novel was first published in the leading German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine even before being published in Russia, and in 1998 an excerpt from the novel appeared in The New Yorker magazine. Readers are welcome to join the author's presentation of his novel Good Stalin during the Frankfurt Book Fair at the Russian Stand //Pavilion 5.0, Stand C 136//, Friday, 11th October at 12:30am. A descendant of an Irishman who had been imprisoned in Stalin's GULAG, Anatoly Kudryavitsky was born in Russia, where he obtained a PhD degree in biomedical science and worked as a researcher, a magazine editor, and a literary translator. Blacklisted in the Soviet Union until 1988, he was first published openly in 1989. Anatoly Kudryavitsky has translated English-language classics into Russian and Russian, German, Polish and Swedish poetry into English. Kudryavitsky has won many international awards for his English-language haiku, and is regarded as one of the most prominent European haiku poets. The two novels included in the book disUnity are works of Russian magic realism. In the first novel, Shadowplay on a Sunless Day, Anatoly Kudryavitsky writes about life in modern-day Moscow and about an emigrant's life in Germany. The novel deals with problems of self-identification, national identity and the crises of the generation of 'new Europeans'. In the second novel, A Parade of Mirrors and Reflection, the writer turns his attention to human cloning, an issue very much at the centre of current scientific debate. In this novel, he looks at the philosophical aspects of creating artificial personalities who lack emotions and experience of everyday human life through a story about secret cloning experiments being carried out in an underground lab on the outskirts of Moscow. Readers are welcome to join the author's presentation of his book disUnity during the Frankfurt Book Fair at the Russian Stand //Pavilion 5.0, Stand C 136//, Saturday, 12th October at 13:00am. Glagoslav Publications is an independent British-Dutch press specializing in the publication and worldwide distribution of English translations of fiction and non-fiction titles by Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian authors. www.glagoslav.com For press enquiries, please contact Yana Kovalskaya at y.kovalskaya@glagoslav.com.
