GOWANUS BOOKS
is an independent publisher of fine literature. GOWANUS BOOKS is affilliated
with Savvy Press, also a publisher of
quality
books.
Our first
publication is The Best of Gowanus,
an anthology
of fiction, essays and poetry derived from the pixels of the award-winning
online journal devoted to writing from Third World nations. Editor Tom
Hubschman says in his introduction, "The world didn’t need yet another
ezine devoted to the work of talented First World writers. What was lacking
was a venue for their brethren [in the Third World]. Knowing those writers
were out there and that no one—at least, no one I knew of at the time—was
looking to provide them with a forumof their own, ignited the spark that
became Gowanus."
Critical
response to the The Best of Gowanus:
Publishers
Weekly (May 21, 2001): "'Short
stories, essays and poetry from parts of the world where the Internet [is]
not yet so strongly entrenched but where the human imagination most assuredly
[is]...' Norma Kitson of South Africa writes of being oppressed into revealing
at a cocktail party of white Zimbabweans that her husband was a member
of the militant branch of the African National Congress. Ly Lan contributes
a short story about the somnambulistic, post-traumatic experience of an
African-American man in Vietnam. And Abbas Zaidi shares an essay on 'Ethnic
cleansing of the Kafirs in Pakistan' ...edited by Thomas J. Hubschman,
who started the ezine Gowanus in 1997."
"A thought-provoking
mélange of essays and short stories…by authors who will be enriching
us
for years to
come."
