Recent & Forthcoming Titles
With smaller print runs and often an intimate relationship with readers, these smaller houses are able to take bigger risks than their larger counterparts and are finding truly excellent writers outside the mainstream. Don’t miss works from Open Letter, Deep Vellum, Bellevue Literary Press, Catapult, Restless Books, Two Dollar Radio and Los Angeles’ Unnamed Press; like more established independents Graywolf and McSweeney’s, they are delivering so much genuinely exciting fiction that they make it look easy.
From Our Authors
The singular commitment to intellectually engaging work, regardless of challenges, together with the brilliant and worldly vision of its editors, has shaped BLP’s successful list and record from the beginning on. The books are wise, broad, sensitive, risk-taking, surprising, challenging and stimulating. I feel fortunate beyond belief to have found a home and champion for Inukshuk with BLP and have been humbled ever since by my inclusion with the list of authors they publish. I can think of no press more worthy of ongoing support.
Award Winning Titles
The Jump Artist, the Sami Rohr Prize-winning debut novel by Austin Ratner, is based on the true story of Philippe Halsman, whose role in the “Austrian Dreyfus Affair,” rocked Europe in the years leading up to World War II and who later became famous for his portraits of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Salvador Dalí.
