  With unapologetic vividness, Lejla Kalamujić depicts pre- and post-war Sarajevo by charting a daughter coping with losing her mother, but discovering herself. From imagined conversations with Franz Kafka to cozy apartments, psychiatric wards, and cemeteries, Call Me Esteban is a piercing meditation on a woman grasping at memories in the name of claiming her identity. 
  “Stylish and brisk, these stories refuse to wallow in tragedy, becoming instead a convincing testament to the consolations of art.” —Publishers Weekly starred review 
  "There’s an immediacy to Lejla Kalamujić’s writing in Call Me Esteban, a haunting portrayal of what it means to live in a society that’s been fragmenting for the vast majority of one’s life. The staccato prose and rapid-fire sentences on display help to further those ideas, as well as giving a sense of the narrator’s anxiety—an experience that takes this book even further into a haunting space." — Tobias Carroll, Words Without Borders 
  "Playful yet piercing, these linked stories weave queer identity with the bitter aftertaste of the Balkan wars... Kalamujić takes autofiction to the next level." —Hamilton Cain, Oprah Daily 
  Lejla Kalamujic is an award-winning queer writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
  Jennifer Zoble translates Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and Spanish language literature. She is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies program at NYU.

  Staying with his sister while he recovers from an accident, Harlon, a talented artist, feels compelled to draw a yacht he sees at the local marina. But when the yacht's owner appears, he immediately draws the man himself, only to find the solidly muscled man he was sure he saw on deck looks much different in the flesh.
  Naga shifter Bran is instantly drawn to his mate and ensures that when he greets the man who's drawing him, his appearance is far more to the taste of his mate to be.

  Mama - A Queer Black Woman's...

  Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Memoir/Biography In this searing and uplifting memoir, a young Black queer woman fresh out of college adopts her baby brother after their incarcerated mother dies, determined to create the kind of family she never had. Growing up, Nikkya Hargrove’s mother was in and out of prison. Hargrove, one of the 5 million children dealing with the effects of an incarcerated parent, spent a good portion of her childhood in prison visiting rooms. After her baby brother was born, Hargrove decided to fight for custody–even though she had only just graduated college. We see how she is subjected to preconceived notions that she, a Black, queer, young woman, cannot handle the responsibility. She shares about the shame she feels accepting food stamps, her family’s reaction to her coming out, and the joy she experiences when she meets the woman who will become her wife. Whether she’s clashing with her brother's biological father or battling for Jonathan’s education rights after he’s diagnosed with ADHD and autism, this is a woman who won’t give up.     Hargrove’s memoir picks up where Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy left off, exploring generational trauma and pulling back the curtain on family court and poverty in America. Moving and inspiring, Mama is an ode to motherhood and identity, to never giving up, and to finding strength in family and community.
