Brushstroke! reveals the secret behind a cache of Old Masters hidden since World War II on display in New York's Museum of the New. Marquis tells a tale which shows that what you see in art is not always what you get.

Agustin Blazquez's THE KILLER FLIES OF LUXOR, a novel about an artist's escape from Cuba into a dream-world of art and movies, in the picaresque style of Don Quixote and magical realism of Alejo Carpentier combined with the cinematic surrealism of Luis Buñuel.

J. Jacob Potashnik's collection of short stories about Montreal and other places is in the tradition of Saul Bellow, Mordechai Richler, and reminiscent of the work of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Sholom Aleichem, among others. Shortlisted for Canada's 2017 Quebec Writer's Federation Concordia First Book Prize with these Juror comments: "Steeped in the texture of Jewish immigrant Montreal from the 1950s through to the present, from the culture of survival and working-class collaboration with the Quebécois, to the spiritual perils of the nouveau riche, Potashnik's tales are not only beautifully written, they combine a sense of heritage with the potential. along with the impoverishment, of everyday lives. "These richly detailed and multilayered stories draw a picture of a Montreal that is both mythic and tangible. "This is a confident, self-assured, muscular book. Potashnik writes in an effortless, fluid, clear, compelling prose. This is an author who revels in language. There is a filmic/visual quality to the storytelling which is always, deft, sharp, witty and smart. Potashnik writes fully realized characters who exude personality and spirit."

David O. Strickland's darkly comic novel is set during EGRESS RECAP--the return of American POWs from Vietnam's "Hanoi Hilton" in 1973. Like Kurt Vonnegut's classic SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, THE FIRST MAN OFF THE PLANE features POWs bombed by their own planes. Like Joseph Heller's satirical CATCH-22, it depicts the insanity of war...as well as Vietnamese, the Home Front, and the Nixon Administration--including President Nixon, Kissinger, Ehrlichman, Haldeman, Dean, General Haig, and Hugh Hefner's Playmates...among others.
