Strange Gods A Secular History of Conversion Susan JacobyFrom the best-selling author of The Age of American Unreason, a provocative socialhistory of the secular forces driving conversion--for better and for worse--in theWestern world, from the transformation of the Jewish Saul into Christianity's firstproselytizer Paul to the twenty first-century revival of violent religious coercion byradical Islamic terrorists. In this original and riveting exploration, Susan Jacoby argues thatconversion--especially in the free American "religious marketplace"--is too oftenviewed only within the conventional and simplistic narrative of personalreinvention and divine grace. Instead, the author places conversions within asecular social context that has, at various times, included the force of a unifiedchurch and state, desire for upward economic mobility, and interreligiousmarriage--the latter as critical in the early Christian era as in the United Statestoday, where half of Americans have switched faiths at least once in their adultlives. Moving through time, continents, and cultures--dealing with theoften-ignored forced conversion of American slaves to Christianity as well as withthe better-known story of the Spanish Inquisition and the persecution of bothatheists and Christians in modern Islamic theocracies--the story also includesconversions to authoritarian secular ideologies, notably Stalinist Communism, thatresemble traditional, unquestioning faith. Finally, the author examines truereligious choice--a product of the Enlightenment pioneered by the U.S.Constitution. This history is punctuated by portraits of individual converts,including the Catholic Church father Augustine of Hippo; the German Jewishconvert to Catholicism Edith Stein, murdered at Auschwitz and canonized by thechurch; boxing champion Muhammad Ali, who scandalized white Americans in the1960s by becoming a Muslim, and even politicians such as George W. Bush andformer British prime minister Tony Blair. In a forthright conclusion to thisenthralling history, Strange Gods takes on the question of why the freedom tochoose a religion--or to reject religion altogether--is a fundamental human rightsissue that remains a breeding ground for violence in areas of the world that neverexperienced an Enlightenment.

AUTHOR: Susan Jacoby is one of our most provocative and insightful social critics--onlineand in print media. SUBJECT: Jacoby's book will be of vital interest to many religious believers as well as hercore audience of religious skeptics. Of particular importance in the United States is theimmense growth in recent decades of two groups--those who have entered interreligiousmarrriages and are therefore particularly interested in conversion, and those who have leftthe faith in which they were raised and are now unafilliated with any religion.AUDIENCE: Atheists and agnostics; the growing numbers of the "religiously unaffiliated,"who have doubled during the past decade--a trend driven by Americans under thirty five.American Jews are particularly interested in the subject of conversion because of theirhigh rate of religious intermarriage.UNIQUE PERCH: Strange Gods is a passionate and erudite work of intellectual history,combining meticulous research with the author's personal background as the child andgrandchild of Americans who have converted from Protestantism to Catholicism as well asfrom Judaism to Christianity.

Version Control A Novel Dexter PalmerThe compelling story of a couple living in the wake of a personal tragedy. She is astar employee of an online dating company, while he is a physicist, performingexperiments that, if ever successful, may have unintended consequences, alteringthe nature of their lives--and perhaps of reality itself. Rebecca Wright has gotten her life back, finding her way out of grief anddepression following a personal tragedy years ago. She spends her days workingin customer support for the Internet dating site where she first met her husband.However, she has a persistent, strange sense that everything around her issomewhat off-kilter: she constantly feels as if she has walked into a room andforgotten what she intended to do there; on TV, the President seems to be thewrong person in the wrong place; and each night she has disquieting dreams thatmay or may not be related to her husband Philip's pet project. Philip's decade-longdedication to the causality violation device (which he would greatly prefer you donot call a "time machine") has effectively stalled his career and made him alaughingstock in the physics community. But he may be closer to success thaneither of them knows or imagines...

AUTHOR: Dexter Palmer's debut novel, The Dream of Perpetual Motion, published by St.Martin's in 2010, was an IndieNext pick and a Kirkus Reviews best debut of the year. GENRE CROSSOVER APPEAL: Will appeal not only to fans of Neil Gaiman but also of TomPerrotta; readers who appreciate literary fiction that deals with grief and relationships, aswell as readers who like science fiction about time machines. Literary speculative fictioncontinues to gain traction with genre and general fiction readers alike, with books likeDavid Mitchell's The Bone Clocks, Haruki Murakami's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki, andMargaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy drawing more and more readers across genrelines. Think The Time Traveler's Wife, if it were written by William Gibson.WELL CONNECTED: Dexter participated in the Key West Literary Seminar on science fictionorganized by James Gleick and appeared on panels with Gibson, China Miéville, andCharles Yu, all of whom are looking forward to reading this book.

Praise for The Dream of Perpetual Motion"Dexter Palmer takes elements from Nabokov, Neal Stephenson, Steven Millhauser, and The Tempest, tosses them into a retrofuturistic blender and hits 'purée.' The result is asingular riff on steampunk--sophisticated, subversive entertainment that never settles forescapism." --Jeff VanderMeer, The New York Times Book Review"Dazzling... explodes with energy and invention on every page." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: Princeton, NJDEXTER PALMER lives in Princeton, New Jersey. He holds a Ph.D. in English literature fromPrinceton University, where he completed his dissertation on the work of James Joyce, WilliamGaddis, and Thomas Pynchon; and where he also staged the first academic conference everheld at an Ivy League university on the subject of video games.

Apostle Travels Among the Tombs of the Twelve Tom BissellIn this profound and moving journey into the heart of Christianity, the widelyacclaimed author of The Disaster Artist explores the mysterious and oftenparadoxical lives and legacies of the Twelve Apostles--a book both for those of theChristian faith and those who want to understand it from the outside in. Peter, Matthew, Thomas, John: Who were these men? What was theirrelationship to Jesus? Tom Bissell gives us rich and deeply informed answers tothese ancient and surprisingly elusive questions. He examines not just who thesemen were (and weren't), but how their identities have taken shape over the courseof two millennia. He makes clear that, ultimately, their story is the story ofChristianity and its growth from an obscure Jewish sect to the global faith weknow today. Bissell has visited holy sites from Rome and Jerusalem to Turkey,India, and Kyrgyzstan, and he vividly captures the rich diversity of Christianity'sglobal reach. Written with warmth, humor, and rare acumen, Apostle is a brilliantsynthesis of travel writing, biblical history, and a deep lifelong relationship withChristianity. The result is an unusual, erudite, at times hilarious book--a religious,intellectual, and personal adventure.

MOST AMBITIOUS WORK THUS FAR: Tom Bissell, funny and erudite, has for some timenow been a favorite of those with an ear to the ground of contemporary American writing.But this book--universal in theme, accessible in composition, generous in spirit--candeliver his singular voice to a much wider readership.CHRISTIAN IMPORTANCE:Apostle is a book that delves into the history of Christianity withthoroughness and thoughtfulness. Christian readers will be fascinated both by Bissell'saccounts of important religious locations, and by his comprehensive research. TIMED FOR EASTER: Our March publication will make the book available during the Easterseason.RELIGION FOR THE AGNOSTIC: While this book will appeal to Christians who want toknow more about their faith, it's also for secular readers who want to try to understandChristianity from the outside in.AUTHOR RECOGNITION: Bissell's most recent book, The Disaster Artist (S&S, 2013),coauthored with an actor, did extremely well with independent booksellers and broughthim to a new audience. It is currently being made into a film by Seth Rogen and JamesFranco. Since our last book with him (Extra Lives, 2010), one of Bissell's short stories wasmade into the film The Loneliest Planet, and Werner Herzog is about to start production ona film based on another of Bissell's short stories. His name recognition will be muchgreater than it was for our last book.

The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye Sonny Liew

A brilliantly conceived graphic novel that tells the history of Singapore through thelens of its greatest--though not entirely successful--comic book artist. Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye, the greatest comic book artist you've probablynever heard of. When he started making comics in Singapore as a boy of 16 in1954, Chan expected fame and fortune to quickly follow. But just as Singapore'sroad to independence would be full of twists and turns, so too would Chan's ownjourney as an artist. Splicing together a dizzying array of art styles, genres andforms, Sonny Liew's multilayered graphic novel is a celebration of life, comics andstorytelling. The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye is a witty and innovative work thatchallenges the possibilities of the comics medium, creating a double-edgedhistory, pulsing with the tensions and wonders of lived experience, its friendships,first loves and heartaches.

IT'S A GENUINE MASTERPIECE: Writer/artist Sonny Liew has pulled off quite a coup with thisextraordinarily observed and rendered story of the tumultuous history of postwarSingapore, from its struggle for independence from British- colonial rule to its modernincarnation as one of the world's most prosperous nations.A THOROUGHLY CONVINCING ILLUSION: Using the conceit of an art book, Liew constructs aseries of dazzling vignettes - comics, sketches, paintings - that go beyond deftsleight-of-hand and actually inform the narrative in a thoroughly ingenious and engagingway, reflecting the evolution of an artist and the comic book medium itself.A TIMELY SUBJECT: With the death of former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew at age 91 inMarch, the "father/architect" of Singapore for thirty years has been posthumously heraldedworldwide as a brilliant leader who defied the odds to bring his small island republic "fromthe third world to the first." Yes, but this book asks: At what cost? What was lost, and whatwere the paths not taken?A STUDENT OF DAVID MAZZUCCHELLI: After graduating with a philosophy degree fromCambridge in 1996, Liew studied illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design and tooktwo graphic storytelling classes with David Mazzucchelli, who eventually brought thisproject to our attention. AN EXCITING YOUNG TALENT WHO ALREADY HAS A FOLLOWING: Nominated for multipleEisner Awards for his collaborations on The Shadow Hero, Liquid City and Wonderland,Liew has fans and a great industry track record. He is currently drawing the mainstreammonthly series Dr. Fate for DC Comics, with comics legend Paul Levitz doing the scripts.

Praise for The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye:"Part graphic novel, part art book, part narrative essay, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chyeby Malaysian-born, Eisner-Award-nominated comics artist and illustrator Sonny Liew is alook at Singapore unlike any other before. By reflecting on the life and work of a comiccreator whose career spanned half a century, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chyecomments wryly on Singapore's past and present while honoring comics as a storytellingmedium." --The Malay Mail"One of the most visually arresting and thematically remarkable books published thisyear... A landmark work in Singapore comics history" --Akshita Nanda, The Straits Times"One of [the best], if not the best, comic books in the past five years... [A] labor of love anda triumph of storytelling that transcends any medium... A must-read." --Amir Hafizi,Malaysian Reserve

The Rope A Novel Kanan MakiyaFrom the best-selling author of Republic of Fear, a gritty, unflinching, haunting novelabout Iraqi failure in the wake of the 2003 American war. Told from the perspectiveof a Shi'ite militiaman whose participation in the execution of Saddam Husseinchanges his life in ways he could not anticipate, the novel examines the birth ofsectarian politics out of a legacy of betrayal and victimhood. A nameless narrator stumbles upon a corpse on the day of the fall of SaddamHussein. Swept up in the tumultuous politics of the American occupation, he istaken on a journey that concludes with the discovery of what happened to hisfather, who disappeared in the tyrant's gulag in 1991. His questions about hisfather, like those surrounding the mysterious corpse outside his house, wereignored by his mother, and by his uncle, in whose house he was raised. But he isolder now, and a fighter in his uncle's Army of the Awaited One, which is leadingan insurrection against the occupation. Clues accumulate: a letter surreptitiouslydelivered to his mother during his father's imprisonment; stories told by his dyinggrandfather. Not until the last hour before the tyrant's execution is the narratorgiven the final piece of the puzzle. It comes from Saddam Hussein himself. It is astory about loyalty and betrayal, victims turned victimizers, secrecy and loss--andidentity: the haste with which it is cobbled together, or undone, always at terriblecost. It is a story that will stay with readers long after they finish the final page.

AUTHOR: Kanan Makiya is a prominent and occasionally controversial Iraqi exile whosesupport of the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 has been the source of considerablefascination in the media. SUBJECT: This novel is Makiya's attempt to understand what went wrong in Iraq and howsectarianism in politics became the norm.COMP TITLES: This is a historical novel about recent events--in the manner of the work ofHans Fallada, Vasily Grossman, or George Steiner.

The Brazen Age New York City and the American Empire: Politics, Art, and Bohemia David ReidA sweeping history of the extraordinarily rich culture and turbulent politics thatdefined New York City in the mid-twentieth-century and ensured its place on theworld stage. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited New York City in 1944 during hisfourth election tour, a raging storm failed to stop him from embarking on anambitious fifty-mile automobile procession through Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx,and Manhattan. He saw little of what was then a dynamic metropolis on the rise.This would be, as David Reid reveals, the architecture, a thriving movie business,theater, radio, and the beginning of television, as well as publishing--books,magazines, and newspapers. Looming large is the frenzied, creative energy ofGreenwich Village, with its literary refugees from Europe, radicals and intellectualsproducing important works and publishing small journals. But the times would bedetermined by the next president, and Reid looks closely at Thomas Dewey, HenryWallace, and Harry Truman, as well as James Forrestal, secretary of the navy underRoosevelt, who would become the secretary of defense under Truman. A vivid andcolorful moment in history, full of rich and unexpected detail.

GREAT HISTORICAL MOMENT: Reid's story is set at the beginning of the Cold War years,when Manhattan was experiencing an exciting flowering of the arts and new media.HIGH BOHEMIA: A vast cast of writers, including Malcolm Cowley, Max Eastman, Edna St.Vincent Millay, Djuna Barnes, and Sherwood Anderson, as well as photographers BereniceAbbott, Weegee, and Saloniste Mabel Dodge Luhan.AMBITIOUS SCOPE: Though focused on five years, The Brazen Age reaches back to the19th century to create the rich context necessary for understanding that moment.

White Sands Experiences from the Outside World Geoff DyerFrom "one of our most original writers" (Kathryn Schulz) comes an expansive andexacting book--firmly grounded, but elegant, witty, and always inquisitive--abouttravel, unexpected awareness, and the questions we ask when we step outsideourselves. Geoff Dyer's perennial search for tranquility, for "something better," continuesin this series of fascinating and seemingly unrelated pilgrimages--with a tourguide who is in fact not a tour guide at the Forbidden City in Beijing, with friendsat the Lightning Field in New Mexico, with a hitchhiker picked up near a prison atWhite Sands, and with "a dream of how things should have been" at the WattsTowers in Los Angeles. Weaving stories about places to which he has recently traveled with images andmemories that have persisted since childhood, Dyer tries "to work out what acertain place--a certain way of marking the landscape--means; what it's trying totell us; what we go to it for." One of the essays takes its title from Gaugin'smasterwork, and asks the same questions: Where do we come from, what are we,where are we going? The answers are elusive: in French Polynesia, where he travelsto write about Gaugin and the lure of the exotic, when he visits the Museum ofFine Arts in Boston to see the masterpiece in person only to be told it is travelling,when he and his wife journey to Norway to see, but end up not seeing, theNorthern Lights. But at home in California, after a medical event that makes Dyersee everything in a different way, he may finally have found what he's beensearching for.

AUTHOR: Widely regarded for his ability to transcend genre, he has become a genre untohimself. His recent selection as one of the recipients of the 2015 Windham-CampbellLiterature Prizes confirms that Dyer is at the height of his powers.SUBJECT: Much of the book is set in America.OPPORTUNITY: Dyer currently lives in Venice, California--a lifelong dream--and this bookis in many ways an investigation of why he is so drawn to this country.COMP: White Sands is closest in style to Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It.

Praise for Geoff Dyer"Mr. Dyer, a shape-shifting British writer, is among the best essayists on the planet, and ...what [his] essays impart is ecstasy." - -Dwight Garner, The New York Times"A writer who resists categorization...His work is illusory yet real, funny but serious." - - G Q"A restless polymath and an irresistibly funny storyteller, he is adept at fiction, essay, andreportage, but happiest when twisting all three into something entirely his own." - - T h eNew Yorker

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: Venice, CAGeoff Dyer is the author of many books including But Beautiful (winner of the SomersetMaugham Prize); The Missing of the Somme; Out of Sheer Rage; The Ongoing Moment(winner of the ICP Infinity Award); Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi; Zona; Yoga for PeopleWho Can't Be Bothered to Do It; and, most recently, Another Great Day at Sea.

Everything Is Teeth Evie Wyld

From the award-winning author of All the Birds, Singing, a deeply moving graphicmemoir about family, love, loss, and the irresistible forces that, like sharks, coursethrough life unseen, ready to emerge at any moment. Ever since she was a little girl, passing her summers in the brutal heat ofcoastal New South Wales, Evie Wyld has been captivated by sharks--by their innateruthlessness, stealth, and immeasurable power. Young Evie would listen intently asfarmers and fishermen told stories about being alone on the water at dusk; shewould lose herself in books about legendary shark attacks, mesmerized by thephotos of the victims. And even though she returned to London at the end of eachsummer, Australia's sharks never released their hold on her imagination. Now, inthis quietly penetrating narrative of personal memories, beautifully rendered byillustrator Joe Sumner, Evie Wyld lends her exceptional voice to the telling of astory all her own.

PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR: Wyld has an extensive list of accolades, including the MilesFranklin Literary Award (Australia's equivalent to the Booker), the John Llewellyn RhysPrize, the Encore Award for Best Second Novel, and she was named to the once-a-decadelist of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists.COLLABORATION: Wyld's writing is paired with artwork by Joe Sumner, a London-basedcommercial model maker and illustrator. His eye-catching mixed-media approach addseven more depth and complexity to Wyld's luscious prose.NEW FORMAT: This is Wyld's first graphic project, an exciting departure for her, sure towin new readers. SHARKS: Wyld's subject matter will appeal to environmentalists and animal rights activistsalike. "Shark Week," the Discovery Channel's annual must-see TV event in July, will alsoprovide publicity opportunities.U.K. PUBLICATION: Cape at RHUK has had great success with its editions of Wyld's novels,and its August 2015 publication will help build a run-up to our American publication.

Praise from the U.K."One of the most acclaimed among the new generation of British writers, with twobeautiful, award-winning novels under her belt, Wyld has teamed up with illustrator JoeSumner to produce a moving, heartfelt, original book...Sumner's artwork is wondrous, theperfect visual correlative to Wyld's spare lyricism." - -Independent"Quietly devastating...The implicit narrative of family difficulties becomes itself like a shark,with Wyld's prose the sinister fin on the surface, the weight of words left unsaid supportedby the driving force of Sumner's illustrations." - -Telegraph

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: London, EnglandIllustrator Residence: London, EnglandEVIE WYLD grew up in Australia and London. Her first novel, After the Fire, a Still SmallVoice, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and a Betty Trask Award, and her second, All theBirds, Singing, won the Miles Franklin Literary Award, the EU Prize for Literature, and theEncore Award for Best Second Novel.
