Fiction. This is a unique volume in the best sense--two apparently diverse areas drawn together in 1959 politically as the 49th and 50th states of the United States. But they have been bound together by nature and history-the former for millennia, and the latter since the late 18th century. A poetic bond between both trilogies is crossing a body of water as a transformational event for human and animal alike. In the "Lost Road Trilogy," it is the ancient Charon myth; and in the "Hawaii Island Trilogy," it is of transformations in time and space, and how the two together can form illusions of spirit.

The Life and Travels of Saint Cuthwin is a story of deep love and desperate survival in 11th Century England, a story told by a man named Cuthwin, born a peasant, who faced horror after horror in order to live for 85 years, at which time he told his story to a young monk who wrote it down. He wanted to tell his story – warts and all – since he had been informed that the Church was considering naming him as a Saint, an honor which Cuthwin absolutely denied. He attempted to discredit any such thoughts by revealing what he considered to be very UN-saintlike thoughts and actions. The accuracy with which Warner details life in this tumultuous period of history Is remarkable. He creates characters who come alive on the page, characters that a reader can truly imagine living in this violent and deeply religious period and who struggled through the bloody invasion of the Normans in 1066. The Life and Travels of Saint Cuthwin is literature in its truest sense, i.e., a deep and compelling story with strong and clearly developed characters told by a master of the craft. I’m no longer the publisher of Pleasure Boat Studio, but I can say that this is one of the very best books Pleasure Boat Studio ever released. It’s a book any press would be proud of. -Jack Estes, Former Publisher of Pleasure Boat Studio CUTHWINandCWENBURH.com

Fiction. Jewish Studies. This Michael Blumenthal novel was chosen by Elie Wiesel, Thomas Kenneally, and Merrill Joan Gerber as winner of Hadassah Magazine's prestigious Ribelow Prize as Best Jewish Novel of the Year in 1994. In its all-too-short lifespan, it received rave reviews from Kirkus and Publisher's Weekly and glowing tributes from such writers as Lorrie Moore, Tim O'Brien, Jhumpa Lahiri, Robert Coles, and Leslie Epstein. Unfortunately, just three months after the novel's publication, its publisher, Zoland Books, was forced to close for economic reasons, and this brilliant novel by one of America's finest poets hardly even saw the light of day. It is now available for the first time in paperback allowing it a second--really a first--life. Once you read it, I am sure you will agree that it more than deserves the kind of critical and popular attention which--due to the unfortunate circumstances that befell its original publisher--it never received.
