A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a slantwise work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.

Cocktail Hour Meets ... A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION is the second in a series of back-of-the-napkin cocktail books resulting from quarantining at home during Covid-19. Little did anyone know when authors Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner published Cocktail Hour Meets ... A PANDEMIC in July that the pandemic would continue and converge, head-to-head, with a very important presidential election. With the non-stop cycle of breaking news, we may not always know what day it is, but we do know there is always cocktail hour! The inspiration for the book came on one of their daily pandemic walks: 45 cocktails in 45 days, starting on September 20, 2020, and ending on election day, November 3, 2020. A cocktail named in honor (memory, respect, or lampoon) of each of the 45 presidents of the United States. We added a 46th cocktail in honor of president-elect Biden. Mixed in with the cocktails are interesting tidbits about each president (and the president-elect) and a timeline of significant events that occurred during each president''s tenure to provide historical context. If you buy the book, you will hopefully learn something new about the men that have led this country and take away a recipe or two that you can probably improve upon. And a portion of all sales will be donated to Vote.org - a national nonprofit that fights for fair elections and against voter suppression.

A novel in epistolary form, BOLT FROM THE BLUE charts the relationship between a mother and her artistic daughter over the course of thirty-odd years, and offers a partial and subjective account of British contemporary art since the mid-1980s.

Ash before Oak is a novel in the form of a fictional journal written by a solitary man on a secluded Somerset estate. Ostensibly a nature diary, chronicling the narrator's interest in the local flora and fauna and the passing of the seasons, Ash before Oak is also the story of a breakdown told slantwise, and of the narrator's subsequent recovery through his reengagement with the world around him. Written in prose that is as precise as it is beautiful, winner of the 2018 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize, Jeremy Cooper's first novel in over a decade is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life.
