Complicated Gardening Techniques, by Franz Nicolay
Mr. Nicolay is the mustachioed champion known for his work in acts such as The Hold Steady, World/Inferno Friendship Society, and Guignol. In the winter of 2010, he will share his first work of short stories and various observations. With its old-world outlook, Complicated Gardening Techniques is a work of Twainsian vision. 3 zines will be released over 2010, leading up to a full novel of Mr. Nicolay’s work.
Doctor, I Don’t Wanna Be Crazy Anymore, by Justin Maurer
Julius Singer is delighted to present the second book by Justin Maurer: member of the bands Clorox Girls & Suspect Parts, and American expat living all over the European continent. As the Portland Mercury said of his book of personal essays, Don’t Take Your Life (Future Tense), “Justin Maurer has a real gift for storytelling”. We agree and think you will also. With energy reminiscent of Henry Rollins with a heart, Maurer’s novella about one visit to a therapist’s couch is at once deferential and yielding, brazen and defiant.
“So Close to Awesome, Random Things, 2000-2009″, by Jason Diamond
Stories that span from coast to coast and across the sea. Tales of attempting to make screwing up into an art form.
