ASTA IN THE WINGS
A novel by Jan Elizabeth Watson
February 2009

A poignant and darkly funny story narrated by Asta Hewitt, a resourceful seven-year-old growing up in an isolated house in Maine. Shut off from the outside world and restricted to the company of a delusional mother and a bookish older brother, Asta is content to be part of a "society of three."

"A gem of a book."
— Aryn Kyle, author of The God of Animals

"Jan Elizabeth Watson has created one of the most appealing fictional heroines I've encountered in a long time...A highly original debut."
—Margot Livesey, author of The House on Fortune Street

An astonishingly assured and compelling debut, When I Forgot explores the relationship between a sister and her brother, the past that they share, and the memories that shape their lives forever.

"A powerful book…a wrenching read for anyone who has witnessed someone close suffer mental breakdown."
—Guardian

The Writer's Notebook combines the best craft seminars in the history of the Tin House Summer Writers Workshop with a variety of essays written by some of Tin House's favorite authors, offering aspiring writers insight into the craft of writing.

"While New York publishers star-search for this year's single lollipop best-seller, Tin House recalls what literature can give one honest reader. In its magazine and book publication, Tin House turns up much of what's still righteous and nervy in American writing."
—Allan Gurganus

Abandonment, life, death, and, oddly, Cleveland are explored in the hilarious second installment of Jim Krusoe's trilogy about resurrection.

"Jim Krusoe is one of America’s most sincere satirists, a treasured literary oddball. No one interweaves the comic, the absurd, the outrageous and the mundane or plays them off each other the way he does."
—Amy Gerstler  on Krusoe's Girl Factory

Blending illustrations, memoir, and lyric essay, We Did Porn follows Zak Smith as he leaves the New York art scene for Los Angeles's seedy underbelly—the world of alt porn.
