Come celebrate the launch of new Ellipsis Press titles by Norman Lock and Joanna Ruocco. A hypnotic tale of artistic obsession, Norman Lock's SHADOWPLAY tells the story of a Javanese shadow-puppet master. "Wise up and get all you can of Lock," says Gordon Lish. Joanna Ruocco's THE MOTHERING COVEN is a "work of wonder" (Carole Maso), a singular act of prose daring. Also reading will be special guest and short story master: Gary Lutz.

Ellipsis Press will be at the Brooklyn Book Festival

We'll be selling lovely, soft papery wares--
including our new fall 2009 titles:

Norman Lock's Shadowplay and
