From the National Book Award–winning, bestselling author of Tree of Smoke comes a provocative thriller set in the American West. Nobody Move, which first appeared in the pages of Playboy, is the story of an assortment of lowlifes in Bakersfield, California, and their cat-and-mouse game over $2.3 million. Touched by echoes of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, Nobody Move is at once an homage to and a variation on literary form. It salutes one of our most enduring and popular genres—the American crime novel—but with a grisly humor and outrageousness that are Denis Johnson's own. Sexy, suspenseful, and above all entertaining, Nobody Move shows one of our greatest novelists at his versatile best.

Ross Shafer is a former pet shop manager turned comedian/TV talk show host who has spent nearly twenty years on the corporate lecture circuit as an after dinner speaker and entertainer. And most of the time, he is there with world famous authors and lecturers. This book dares to expose just how irrelevant their "expert advice" is to your life. Ross takes on some of our most revered cultural icons in the chapters, NOBODY MOVED YOUR CHEESE, THOSE CHICKEN SOUP BOOKS ARE FOR FOOLS, ANTHONY ROBBINS HASN'T DONE A DAMN THING, THE ONE-MINUTE MANAGER GOT LAID OFF, and 10 THINGS DR. LAURA SAYS TO GET YOU TO BUY HER BOOKS. Plus, Ross slaps conventional wisdom in the face in chapters like, YOUR JOB IS TERMINAL...AND OTHER GOOD NEWS, GOAL SETTING IS STUPID, BACK UP YOUR LIES WITH THE TRUTH, and GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE CAN BANKRUPT YOU. This is a book about taking extreme responsibility. Ross promises that it will shock you and empower you at the same time. You'll never feel insecure about your job or career choices again.

Eddie Vegas made a terrible mistake. Now he has to pay the price. After a botched debt collection turned double murder, Eddie splits, desperate to avoid his employer, notorious L.A. crime boss Saul Benedict, and his men (and Eddie's ex-partners), Floyd and Sawyer, as well as the police. Soon he becomes entangled with the clever and beautiful Dakota, a Native American woman fresh in the City of Angels to find her missing friend--someone Eddie might know something about. Meanwhile in Texas, ex-assassin Rufus, seeking vengeance for his murdered brother, takes up his beloved daggers one final time and begins the long drive to L.A. When the bodies begin to mount, Detective Alison Lockley's hunt for the killers becomes increasingly urgent. As paths cross, confusion ensues, and no one's entirely sure who's after who. But one thing is clear: They're not all getting out of this alive. As much a love letter to neo-noir cinema and L.A. as it is satire, the first book in the Angel City novels is a lightning-speed crime thriller equal parts Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino.

These four plays - White Mice, Who Shot Jacques Lacan?, Radio Rooster Says That's Bad and Over - written by Darren O'Donnell for his theatre company, Mammalian Diving Reflex, will challenge your politics, your ontology and everything you hold to be safe, stable and sacrosanct. Inoculations documents O'Donnell's progress through the past decade, from the first presentation of Over in 1993 at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre's Rhubarb! festival to 2000's highly acclaimed, Dora-winning presentation of White Mice at Toronto's Theatre Passe Muraille. Covering subjects as diverse as racism and the light spectrum, these plays are provocative, innovative and riotously funny - as entertaining to experience on paper as on stage.

W. G. Sebald meets Maggie Nelson in an autobiographical narrative of embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzáles-Torres’s artworks—piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles—as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community.
