"I am quite convinced that Fattaruso became part bicycle to write this book. In reading it, in wishing it wouldn’t end, I was tempted to try to become one myself."
--Laird Hunt, author of The Exquisite

"Sad, funny, heartbreaking. Never have I been so swayed by the rendering of a common object to consider life’s grander pleasures & consequences."
--Jillian Weise, author of The Amputee’s Guide to Sex

"Paul Fattaruso’s Bicycle is a tiny masterpiece."
--Joshua Marie Wilkinson, author of Lug Your Careless Body out of the Careful Dusk

The MUSICAL ILLUSIONIST
and Other Tales
by Alex Rose

ISBN 10: 0-9789103-1-1

$14.95
Publication Date: October, 2007

Disappearing manuscripts. Profane numbers. Extinct bacteria. Cities without shadows. A language spoken entirely in rhythms. A man deaf solely to the waltzes of Chopin. These are among the many anomalies to be found in the Library of Tangents, a vast underground archive whose beguiling exhibitions are detailed by Alex Rose in his exquisite debut collection, The Musical Illusionist.

A masterful fusion of science-historic precision and magical-realistic caprice, this Pandora's Box of curious tales stands in the tradition of Borges, Calvino and Pavic, blending the playfulness and mythic wonder of folk tales with the complexity and richness of modern thought.

Together, these interlaced parables chart an inebriating realm of possibility, the secret passageways that lie between words and meanings, neurons and thoughts, space and time, fact and fiction, sound and music—and in doing so, activate that rare, dreaming rapture one felt as a child, entranced.

The SESSION
A novella in dialogue
by Aaron Petrovich

ISBN 10: 0-9789103-0-3
ISBN 13: 978-0-9789103-0-3
64 Pages, $10.95
Publication Date: April, 2007


Funny, frantic, and with a subversive intelligence, Aaron Petrovich's Keaton-esque heroes, Detectives Smith and Smith, stumble upon a bizarre new religion while following the trails of a murdered mathematician's missing organs. Their investigation to discover the truth -- about the murder, the mob of men and women who may have eaten him, and ultimately the nature of truth, sanity, and identity -- leads them into a lunatic asylum from which they may never leave.

Writing in a pitch-perfect language reminiscent of Beckett, Chandler, and Duras, Petrovich elevates rapid-fire banter to a transformative musical litany that carries the detectives, and the reader, right along with it. But he never lets us forget that his narrators remain, hysterically -- and tragically -- human.
