Asli Erdogan, trans. from the
Turkish by Sevinç Türkkan
(Nov., $13.95, trade paper)
Profiled in the New Yorker, the
subject of PEN International and
PEN America advocacy campaigns
In her second work to be translated into English, author and
journalist Erdogan offers three
interconnected stories, which
feature women whose lives have
been interrupted by forces
beyond their control—exile,
serious illness, or the imprisonment of a loved
one. Erdogan, who was imprisoned for four
months last year following a failed coup
attempt in Turkey, awaits trial on charges that
could result in life imprisonment.

Billed as “a nonfiction novel,” Mean
mixes true crime with memoir, a ghost
story, and the coming-of-age tale of a
queer, mixed-race Chicana. “I am such a
gigantic fan,” Jill Soloway says of Gurba.
“Her voice is an alchemy of queer magic,
feminist wildness, and intersectional
explosion. She’s a gigantic inspiration
to my work and the sexiest, smartest
literary discovery in Los Angeles.”

the national chains or in big box stores.

Your Shore: A Story of
American Rage
Jared Yates Sexton (Aug., $26,
hardcover)
14-city tour, including the Miami
Book Festival
“Sexton’s chronicle of the 2016
election is the first that spoke to
me on a visceral level,” says
Tristan Charles at Parnassus
Books in Nashville. “There’s a
unique value in ignoring postmortems and
what-ifs and instead drilling right to the center
of America, to the fracturing, raging heart of
our nation, and forcing oneself not to look away.
The result is a gripping dirge for who we were,
who we are, and who we might have been.”
