In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. articulated his dream, JFK was assassinated, and zip codes were first introduced to the US. The world was monumentally changing and changing fast. But in the eyes of future fantasy author Peter Beagle and his best friend Phil, it wasn't changing fast enough. For these two twenty-something beatnik Jews from the Bronx, change was something you chased after night and day across the country on the trembling seat of a motor scooter.

In these times of increasing confusion, wouldn't we all like to ask God the really tough questions? What is love? What is faith? Why do bad things happen? In Dale Estey's whimsical tales, an impetuous elephant does just that. And God answers him. The answers aren't always what the young elephant wants or expects to hear, though. Sometimes God is cryptic, sometimes impatient, but He is always loving and always sympathetic to the elephant's curiosity. This tongue-in-cheek primer on theology and religion is suitable for both adults and children, and, while its milieu is Christian, it is inclusive of all faith traditions. Original and fresh, The Elephant Talks to God belongs in the company of classics like The Gospel According to Peanuts.

In his passionate, luminous novels, David James Duncan has won the devotion of countless critics and readers, earning comparisons to Harper Lee, Tom Robbins, and J.D. Salinger, to name just a few. Now Duncan distills his remarkable powers of observation into this unique collection of short stories and essays. At the heart of Duncan's tales are characters undergoing the complex and violent process of transformation, with results both painful and wondrous. Equally affecting are his nonfiction reminiscences, the "river teeth" of the title. He likens his memories to the remains of old-growth trees that fall into Northwestern rivers and are sculpted by time and water. These experiences—shaped by his own river of time—are related with the art and grace of a master storyteller. In River Teeth, a uniquely gifted American writer blends two forms, taking us into the rivers of truth and make-believe, and all that lies in between.
