The Portland-based arts journal YETI launches the first two titles in its book publishing venture with a reading/ book signing/ awesome party at the Knitting Factory on Tues., Sept. 18th @ 6:30 PM. Both authors live in upstate NY, but that's not like a prerequisite for us or anything.
LUC SANTE's Kill All Your Darlings: Pieces 1990-2005 is an essay collection by the acclaimed author of Low Life, Evidence and Factory of Facts. Peter Schjeldahl from The New Yorker has called Sante a "living master of the american language" while William Gibson praises his "burning passion and a prose style to die for."
Kill All Your Darlings is the first collection of Sante's articles_many of which first appeared in the New York Review of Books and the Village Voice_and offers ample justification for this high praise. Alongside meditations on cigarettes, factory work, and hipness, and the critical tour de force, "The Invention of the Blues," Sante offers his incomparable take on icons from Arthur Rimbaud to Bob Dylan, Ren Magritte to Tintin, Buddy Bolden to Walker Evans, Allen Ginsberg to Robert Mapplethorpe.
JANA MARTIN's Russian Lover is a set of dazzling stories from a prizewinning new author whose writing "packs a powerful punch, combining the brilliance of T.C. Boyle and the icy clarity of Margaret Atwood," to quote the Tucson Weekly. Jana Martin's smart, vulnerable heroines respond to life's curveballs with guts and flair. In luminous prose she deftly plumbs the depths of their troubles_and shows the often startling ways they dig themselves out.
"There's an elegant, flaring strength to Russian Lover, a precision of language that is daring and unique in the way it touches memory. Martin's stories are cocoons spun tightly around an elusive, idiopathic emotional core_always intriguing, they give life to the tired mind."_Lydia Millet
"Joining the ranks of female fiction writers such as Amy Hempel and A.M. Homes . . . Jana Martin's stories are original, tender, sometimes even funny_but just below their quirky surface, something darker lurks."_Bust
