Book Description
The Locked Door and Other Stories collects Rosario de Guzman-Lingat's short stories chosen for the various ways they explore the female experience in all its complexity. They feature women as protagonists who, despite life's numerous blows, refuse to give in, as they strive mightily to make sense of their lives fraught with difficulties. There are no happy endings in Lingat's fiction. There is only a steadfast, clear-eyed view of what it means to live in an unjust system where women find themselves victims. The "locked door" is symptomatic of the almost impenetrable barrier that women must force open to gain their freedom.

Book Description
When a door is bolted shut, it is locked to either keep someone else out or to keep someone in. It is a door that represents secrets, shame, guilt, lies, cover-ups, and devastation. The longer we don't face what is behind the door, the longer it owns us through fear and shame. Together, let's unbolt some old corroded doors in our lives and find the freedom on the other side. My book is perfect for anyone who has ever felt silenced by their shame, and ridden with guilt that was never theirs to carry. Beginnings and endings are the bookends to every life story. And the journey itself IS the chapters in between. We ALL have a story to tell. No one should ever carry the weight of a secret burden that crushes their soul and cripples their journey. No one should ever feel their story is not worth telling or not worth hearing. If you need some hope; if you need to be reminded of your worth and value; if you need YOUR story to also be heard, then this book is for you. I wrote it for me/ for you and for ALL of us that have ever felt shut out and shut down. There IS hope beyond the bolted doors in our lives.

Book Description
"A Door Behind a Door is loose, dreamy, and symbol-packed... The resurfacing of characters from Olga’s past in her new city speaks to the theme of immigration in the novel, of new homes and the passage from old to new—a passage that is perhaps not ever fully complete in the sense that the past cannot be shaken." —Marta Balcewicz, Ploughshares In Yelena Moskovich's spellbinding new novel, A Door Behind A Door, we meet Olga, who immigrates as part of the Soviet diaspora of ’91 to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There she grows up and meets a girl and falls in love, beginning to believe that she can settle down. But a phone call from a bad man from her past brings to life a haunted childhood in an apartment building in the Soviet Union: an unexplained murder in her block, a supernatural stray dog, and the mystery of her beloved brother Moshe, who lost an eye and later vanished. We get pulled into Olga’s past as she puzzles her way through an underground Midwestern Russian mafia, in pursuit of a string of mathematical stabbings.

Book Description
THE WAX STATUE AND OTHER STORIES is a translated version of the short stories written by Jeelani Bano. She is one of the most reputed literary figures in SAWNET, known for her supremacy in exposing the flaws of society before the readers. Jeelani Bano keeps the pedal to the metal.Her stories are a mirror of the society of those days,which are relevant even today. Her stories like 'Moum ki Maryam' won great acclaim by the readers and literary men of that age. In her stories she explores the diaspora feelings and the exploitation of the poor. She is a critic of social evils, her vim and vigour portrays the misery and suffering of women in a male dominated society. Her stories are solely objective. She is never didactic in her tone and allows the readers to judge. Her approach is multidimensional and not a storm in a tea cup. Hence their translation into English will spread her message far and wide and serve the purpose of her writings. My aim in translating her short stories into English is to convey the message to the non Urdu readers and to enliven her literary talent in other languages.

Book Description
The first collection in English of an endlessly surprising, master storyteller Like those of Kafka, Poe, Leonora Carrington, or Shirley Jackson, Amparo Dávila’s stories are terrifying, mesmerizing, and expertly crafted—you’ll finish each one gasping for air. With acute psychological insight, Dávila follows her characters to the limits of desire, paranoia, insomnia, and fear. She is a writer obsessed with obsession, who makes nightmares come to life through the everyday: loneliness sinks in easily like a razor-sharp knife, some sort of evil lurks in every shadow, delusion takes the form of strange and very real creatures. After reading The Houseguest—Dávila’s debut collection in English—you’ll wonder how this secret was kept for so long.
