“Listen now. The song is starting over. And we’re driving to a party in the East Village with the radio on. And for a single moment we’re not worried about what happens to all of us in the end. Because for right now we’re all driving through the beautiful city, and we have rock ’n’ roll in our hearts. So turn it up Gian, and let us ride.” —Fights!

The Sarah Book is Scott McClanahan’s confessional of divorce. A portrait of the life
he built and how he broke it, told from Walmart parking lots, strip clubs and shopping malls. Funny and unsparing, a book about love and care, loss and hope in Southern West Virginia.
Published in the UK for the first time, this is an Appalachian sermon of burnt Bibles, decrepit dogs, hospital night shifts and Mountain Dew, delivered by a cult hero of American literature.

On The Sarah Book:
"Scott McClanahan's The Sarah Book is a furious exhalation of love and hurt and hate and tenderness and anger. This is a chronicle of a couple coming together and breaking apart. There is courage in these pages because so much of what McClanahan details is ugly and desperate and raw--everything, food, drink, love, heartbreak, to excess. The writing is so intimate you want to reach into the book to save this man from himself but you can't. That impossibility is what makes this book so memorable, so powerful."
— Roxanne Gay
“...The Sarah Book offers a particularly American form of abjection... what’s remarkable is less the way McClanahan makes us gawk at this sodden car wreck of a life, but the way in which, despite all the messing up, he manages to touch on something tender and altogether human.” – Brian Evenson
“A little Ken Kesey, a little Kurt Vonnegut, a little Richard Brautigan... There’s no shaking his charming blend of comedy and tragedy. His simplicity is a spell.” — Jason Lucarelli
McClanahan shows us the dents and scrapes and breakdowns of a man trying to be to a husband and father while at the same time sabotaging the very things he loves. Unnerving but remarkable.” –Willy Vlautin

“Ruth Novaczek has written one of the great documents of the brutal, roller-coaster inner experience in the aftermath of intimacy. This auto-fiction novella - written largely in letters to the void - invites you feel lonely, connected, jealous, confused, obsessed and loved.”
— Francesca Gavin
A semi-epistolary novella charting the sudden act of falling in love, a break-up and eventual breakdown of a lesbian intergenerational affair. Using fragmented narrative, combining unsent letters to an ex, reflections on sessions with a psychotherapist, and daily life experience of its characters, Wrongness is an interrogation of love and its collapse. Part detective story, part love letter, part confession, part lament, Wrongness explores the problematics of same-sex relationships, dysfunctional Jewish families and cross-generational dynamics.
—
On Wrongness:
“Ruth Novaczek’s brilliant and forensic account of a love affair gone wrong begins and briefly lives in a dazzling rapture that ends slowly in an agonizing unravelling... Is That All There Is? A tour de force of heartbreak, Wrongness moves between accounting for the daily wrongnesses of a protracted breakup to a grappling with all the larger wrongs.”
— Chris Kraus
“Wrongness is a lesbian Death in Venice.
Every time you went home to your mother you came back loving me less: A romance told through surfaces, flashes of ecstasy and glamour, and glimmers of contempt that bloom into all-out cruelty, pathos, grim rites of mutually malevolent armchair psychoanalysis. A meditation on survival.

On Honk:
“I first met Stephen Belowsky when we shared a taxi across Manhattan at the end of a night in the ‘90s. He spent the journey reciting lines about John Lennon, Los Angeles, New York, and junk food — an eloquent motor mouth.”
— Andy Bell (Oasis, Ride)
“Renegade word-smith and master of machine gun prose... the maverick’s maverick.”
— John Robb (Louder Than War)
“Belowsky should change his name by deed poll to Abovesky - that is where his poems are.”
