Marigold and Rose: A Fiction
Marigold and Rose is a magical and incandescent fiction from the Nobel laureate Louise Glück. Simultaneously sad and funny, and shot through with a sense of stoic wonder, this small miracle of a book, following thirteen books of poetry and two collections of essays, is unlike anything Glück has written, while at the same time it is inevitable, transcendent.
A Ballet of Lepers: A Novel and Stories
A never-before-published early novel and stories by the legendary musician, songwriter, and poet Leonard Cohen.

A Ballet of Lepers, vivid in its detail, unsparing in its gaze, reveals the great artist and visceral genius as never seen before.
