- The Swank Hotel
- By Lucy Corin, professor of English
Corin writes what the publisher describes as 鈥渁n acrobatic, unforgettable, surreal and unexpectedly comic novel that interrogates the illusory dream of stability that pervaded early 21st-century America.鈥 From Publishers Weekly: 鈥淒elightfully askew, Corin鈥檚 work offers a memorable exploration of how a loved one鈥檚 mental illness can impact an individual鈥檚 outlook.鈥
- Life in a Field
- By Katie Peterson, professor of English, with photos by Young Suh, professor of art
The publisher calls this volume a comedy about climate change in which Peterson attempts 鈥渢o find a path through our familiar strife, toward a future that feels all but impossible, and into what remains of beauty and pleasure.鈥 Reviewer Rita Bullwinkel, author of Belly Up, says Life in a Field 鈥渋s a triumph of language鈥檚 unique ability to show us double-exposed ideas with deft and sparkling energy.鈥
