"Glorious...one of the best memoirs I've read in years...a tragicomic gem about family, class, race, justice, and the spectacular weirdness of Wichita. [McDermott] can move from barely controlled hilarity to the brink of rage to aching tenderness in a single breath." -- Marya Hornbacher, New York Times Book Review Zack McDermott, a 26-year-old Brooklyn public defender, woke up one morning convinced he was being filmed, Truman Show-style, as part of an audition for a TV pilot. Every passerby was an actor; every car would magically stop for him; everything he saw was a cue from "The Producer" to help inspire the performance of a lifetime. After a manic spree around Manhattan, Zack, who is bipolar, was arrested on a subway platform and admitted to Bellevue Hospital. So begins the story of Zack's freefall into psychosis and his desperate, poignant, often hilarious struggle to claw his way back to sanity. It's a journey that will take him from New York City back to his Kansas roots and to the one person who might be able to save him, his tough, big-hearted Midwestern mother, nicknamed the Bird, whose fierce and steadfast love is the light in Zack's dark world. Before his odyssey is over, Zack will be tackled by guards in mental wards, run naked through cornfields, receive secret messages from the TV, befriend a former Navy Seal and his talking stuffed monkey, and see the Virgin Mary in the whorls of his own back hair. But with the Bird's help, he just might have a shot at pulling through, starting over, and maybe even meeting a partner who can love him back, bipolar and all. Introducing an electrifying new voice, Gorilla and the Bird is a raw and unforgettable account of a young man's unraveling and the relationship that saves him.

“A gorgeously written meditation on being a gay man in America now . . . A raw and captivating debut.” —BookPage Recommended by: O, the Oprah Magazine * BuzzFeed * The Millions * Cosmopolitan * Electric Literature * Literary Hub * Harper's Bazaar * Lambda Literary * LGBTQ Reads * Passport magazine * Paperback Paris * Debutiful * Book Riot * The Bay Area Reporter * The Advocate It is 2015, weeks after the Supreme Court marriage equality ruling. A high school art history teacher, Sebastian Mote envies his queer students and their freedom to live openly the youth he lost to fear and shame. When he runs into his childhood friend Oscar Burnham at a wedding in Washington, DC, he can’t help but see it as a second chance. Now thirty-five, the men haven’t seen each other in more than a decade. But Oscar has no interest in their shared history, nor in the sense of belonging Sebastian craves. Instead, he’s outraged by what he sees as the death of gay culture: bars overrun with bachelorette parties, friends coupling off and having babies. For Oscar, conformity isn’t peace, it’s surrender. While Oscar and Sebastian struggle to find their place in a rapidly changing world, each is drawn into a cross-generational friendship that treads the line between envy and obsession: Sebastian with one of his students, Oscar with an older icon of the AIDS era. And as they collide again and again, both men must reckon not just with each other but with themselves. Provocative, moving, and rich with sharply drawn characters, Let’s Get Back to the Party introduces an exciting and contemporary new talent.

Jack and Zach: The Talk of the Town is a fun new children's adventure featuring two key characters, Jack and Zach, who learn as they grow to become friends. Written and illustrated by Italian-American Artist Paul Amelio, the story follows the dynamic mind of a young boy named Jack, who becomes attached to a runt piglet discovered one Halloween at an upstate pumpkin farm. The piglet is considered a misfit and is offered to Jack's mother as a gift in exchange for her patronage. The excitement begins when Jack's mother inadvertently brings the piglet home, and it becomes by default, Jack's illegitimate stepbrother. The cartoons foster a positive outlook and teach the importance of being ambitious, without losing the curiosity and carefree nature that makes being a kid so fascinating, and let's face it ... downright hysterical. About the Author Born in Italy, Paul Amelio settled in New York. As a child, his love of comic books turned into his own creative passion, as he began developing characters of his own. His childhood interest evolved into a successful advertising and marketing career. Although still dedicated to his profession, he came to realize that giving back to society was an irresistible obligation. Jack and Zach's origin emanates from when the author was nine years old. A close family friend had a child born with visible birth defects. The child was treated as any other he knew, and was provided with love and care that was deeply instilled within Paul's thoughts ever since. He never forgot that child, whose name he remembers only as Jack. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/PaulAmelio Author's websites: http: //www.jackandzach.net and http: //www.paulamelio.com
