PW reviews David Neiwert's THE ELIMINATIONISTS

"Neiwert, founder of the political blog Orcinus, links the proliferation of radical conservative ideas in the political mainstream to the looming specter of "eliminationism," an ideology rejecting dialogue and debate "in favor of pursuit of outright elimination of the opposing side, either through suppression, exile, and eviction, or extermination." ...Rich in historical and journalistic detail, the book offers a fine overview of the uglier stains in American politics." - Publishers Weekly review of THE ELIMINATIONISTS: HOW HATE TALK RADICALIZED THE AMERICAN RIGHT by David Neiwert (PoliPoint, 2009)

PW reviews Diane Mott Davidson's FATALLY FLAKY

"Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz doesn't have a moment to spare as she frantically tries to pull everything together for two upcoming wedding receptions, including last-minute venue and menu changes from a spoiled bridezilla, in bestseller Diane Mott Davidson's entertaining 15th culinary suspense novel.... Stir in a slimy spa owner, rumors of a malpractice suit and the usual cast of supporting characters - including Goldy's patient cop husband, Tom, and her capable culinary assistant, Julian Teller - and you've got another winning entry in Davidson's mouthwatering series." - Publishers Weekly review of FATALLY FLAKY by Diane Mott Davidson (Morrow 2009)

Luis Urrea's INTO THE BEAUTIFUL NORTH is reviewed by Library Journal

"...Urrea rises to the occasion with a surprising, inventive, and very funny novel populated by an array of quirky characters. His fast-paced, accessible style has the crossover appeal of a John Steinbeck or Cormac McCarthy, while the politically charged undercurrent of the novel pulses with a compassionate vision of the future. Highly recommended." -Library Journal review of INTO THE BEAUTIFUL NORTH by Luis Alberto Urrea (Little, Brown 2009)

The book tells the story of renowned MAD magazine cartoonist and writer Al Jaffee and a childhood which "reads like a comic strip of traumatic cliff-hangers with cartoons by Jaffee and captions by Freud" (at the age of six, he was snatched away from his father and taken to a shtetl in his mother's native Lithuania in the years leading up to WWII, a harrowing experience that would make him a satirist), including 40+ original illustrations by Jaffee.

Paula Fredriksen interviewed in TIME

TIME Magazine interviews Paula Fredriksen, author of AUGUSTINE AND THE JEWS: A CHRISTIAN DEFENSE OF JEWS AND JUDAISM (Doubleday, 2008): "[I]n a new book...Paula Fredriksen, a Boston University religion professor and self-proclaimed "Augustinista," upends the received wisdom. Fredriksen is no coddler of anti-Judaism. A former Catholic who long ago converted to Judaism, she was one of Mel Gibson's most acerbic critics when he released his movie The Passion of the Christ. But her book's subtitle, "A Christian Defense of Jews and Judaism," describes what she contends was Augustine's actual stance on the topic, one she says was "little short of revolutionary" - in a good way. Excerpts from David Van Biema's interview with Fredriksen can be found by visiting

SCOREBOARD, BABY: A Team's Rise to Glory and the Dark Side of Our National Obsession by Ken Armstrong and Nick Perry sold to University of Nebraska Press.

Publishers Weekly reviews Paula Fredriksen's AUGUSTINE AND THE JEWS

"In this densely argued and exhaustive book, Fredriksen does for Augustine what she has already done so brilliantly for the historical Jesus...Fredriksen's deeply nuanced study demonstrates that the bishop of Hippo's later writings forcefully challenge the anti-Jewish tendencies of much of early Christianity and offer fresh ways of thinking about contemporary dialogue between the two religions." - Publishers Weekly review of AUGUSTINE AND THE JEWS (Doubleday, 2008)

Rave review for THE ONE MARVELOUS THING by Rikki Ducornet from Los Angeles Times

""It is the work of the writer," Rikki Ducornet told an interviewer, Joanna Scott, in 1993, "to move beyond the simple definitions or descriptions of things...and to bring a dream to life through the alchemy of language." By adhering to this credo for almost four decades, Ducornet has flummoxed the literary authorities, the gatekeepers at places like the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Lannan Foundation and the National Book Critics Circle - she has beguiled them into giving her a place of eminence (prizes, notable mentions) that they would not otherwise do for such a transgressive (sexy, ethereal, imaginative and yes, at times unreadable) writer. Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky must be Ducornet's "The Elements of Style."
"In other words, she's a witch. Beguiling is what she does best. Writing is her modus operandi, her web. Ducornet appeals to her readers' feral natures; their covetous side (she is a master collector of glittering objects - corsets, linens, gold and dumplings - which are sprinkled generously throughout her prose) and their lascivious, voyeuristic tendencies. You feel naughty reading Ducornet, you hide the book. Gonna have to face it - you're addicted to lit.
"Because her work is full of rich, literary, sophisticated, worldly, historical references, the lucky reader (as in, to get lucky) can be nerdy and sexy at the same time (the naughty librarian syndrome). All this and heaven too, as my grandmother used to say." - the Los Angeles Times review of THE ONE MARVELOUS THING (Dalkey Archive Press, November 2008)

Jeffrey Meyers' SAMUEL JOHNSON reviewed in Kirkus

"Meyers tells Johnson's story in a gentle chronology, pausing to expatiate upon the rowdy, nonintellectual life at Oxford (where Johnson studied for a while), the nastiness of daily existence in 18th-century London and the contemporary literary scene. The author rarely hesitates to highlight the unpleasant facets of Johnson's character: his temper, moodiness, peremptoriness, xenophobia, cruelty and careless hygiene.... But he also emphasizes Johnson's compassion, his opposition to slavery, his ferocious work ethic and his unrivaled intelligence." - Kirkus Reviews, October 2008 for SAMUEL JOHNSON: THE STRUGGLE (Basic, 2008)

Jill Marsal sells Lisa Shannon's THE END OF LOGI to Seal Press

THE END OF LOGI follows author Lisa Shannon, who, after watching an Oprah show on the death, rape, and torture of women in Congo, decided to "do something." It was one of those moments in life which move so many of us; when we are shocked, horrified, and compelled to take action...until the demands of our everyday lives catch up with us again. For Lisa, a woman whose life had previously been filled by photographing stunning models on sunny beaches and traveling to exotic locations, it was different. She followed Oprah's urging, and after founding the Run for Congo Women, she traveled into the heart of the world's deadliest humanitarian crisis to embrace the hundreds of women sponsored through her program. Lisa's story touches raw corners of the human spirit and is about who we can become when we cast off our safety-nets and open our hearts. Dijkstra author Zainab Salbi will write the Foreword. Jill Marsal sold North American rights to Seal Press for publication in Spring 2010. Tell A Friend

Jill Marsal sells Genie James and Dr. C.W. Randolph's FROM BELLY FAT TO BELLY FLAT to HCI

It's an all-too-common problem once you hit thirty: Despite your best efforts, you just can't seem to lose the extra weight around your middle. Medical research proves you're not alone - the average person gains one to two pounds a year after age thirty, usually around the stomach. FROM BELLY FAT TO BELLY FLAT, by Genie James and Dr. C.W. Randolph, explains that the real reason behind this problem has less to do with calories, carbs, or crunches, and everything to do with a little-known but very real medical problem called "estrogen dominance" and what to do to save your waistline and health.

Kirkus reviews Eric Foner's OUR LINCOLN: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON LINCOLN AND HIS WORLD

"An award-winning historian assembles 12 essays from distinguished scholars commenting on Lincoln - the man, the emancipator and the chief executive.... The essays are highly readable, mercifully free of academic cant and at least hint at new Lincoln discoveries, large and small.... As the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth approaches, these provocative essays constitute a perfect sneak preview of the likely scholarly agenda." - Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2008

Jill Marsal sells David Stillman and Lynne Lancaster's THE MILLENNIALS to Collins

THE MILLENNIALS (those born between 1982-2002) is a wake up call that a fresh new generation is about to show up for work with their own preferences, experiences and expectations. The sooner we get to know them, argue Stillman and Lancaster, the better we can anticipate the divides that will inevitably arise and learn how to bridge these gaps. Authors and generation experts Lynne C. Lancaster and David Stillman have conducted thousands of interviews and focus groups over the past eleven years. After working with organizations from MTV to the IRS, they've discovered is that the clashes we'll soon experience won't hold a candle to what the previous generations (the Traditionalists, Boomers, and Gen Xers) will experience as they learn to work with the Millennials.

Marilyn Yalom's THE AMERICAN RESTING PLACE reviewed in Newsweek

"Respectful but never tedious, knowledgeable but not pedantic, it illuminates a too-often overlooked corner of our history with grace and not a little of the mordant wit once so neatly captured in the phrase "graveyard humor." - Newsweek, June 9, 2008
Marilyn Yalom is represented by Sandra Dijkstra

Jill Marsal sells David Neiwert's THE ELIMINATIONISTS to Polipoint Press

June 4, 2008 - David Neiwert's THE ELIMINATIONISTS: Hate Talk and the Rise of the Pseudo-Fascist Right sold to Polipoint Press. The book will examine the malignant influence of the extremists on the right whose hateful approach to politics is increasingly reflected in mainstream discourse. This has resulted in not only an increasingly rightward gravitational shift in the right’s agenda, but increasing viciousness in their discourse, very much the style of the old far right. This transformation has resulted, Neiwert argues, in a pathology he calls “pseudo-fascism” – a style of politics that talks and acts like fascism, but which lacks its violent and thuggish core. But the real danger is that pseudo-fascism, given the right circumstances, could readily tip over into the genuine article.
