Trafik

Rikki Ducornet

Summary

Think “sexy Wall-E”: Trafik is a super fun, zany, engaging read, full of fun Easter egg references to history and pop culture. There’s also a very touching thread about the enduring importance of books and art.
Trafik is a fantastic mix of sci-fi and experimental literary fiction. We’re discovering that readers increasingly look to Coffee House to find the intersection of highly literary and genre work, so this fits right in with that.
Rikki is a legend with an enthusiastic readership. This is her tenth novel, the third with Coffee House. She has also published many books of poetry and is a well-known visual artist. She has won an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award and two Lannan Literary Awards, and was a finalist for the NBCC Award.
Rikki’s past work has been beloved by indie booksellers, and we plan to get lots of bookseller support for Trafik early on.
Past review coverage for Rikki’s work has included the New York Times,Los Angeles Times,The Nation,Boston Globe, and more. We’ll include highlights of past praise in the frontmatter of the book.
For fans of Yoko Tawada’s The Emissary, Jeff VanderMeer’s Dead Astronauts, and Philip K. Dick/Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.

BLADE & BASTARD: Wireframe...

Kumo Kagyu

Scorch marks blacken the wireframe dungeon, and the smell of burnt meat hangs in the air. Iarumas’s party stumbles upon a corpse, more charcoal than flesh, and Raraja insists on dragging it out. Murmur—Chant—Pray—Invoke. A large-framed girl named Berkanan gulps the fresh air of her second chance at life. Her confidence is low and her skills as a fledgling mage are inadequate, but despite all that, she has a serious goal—kill the red dragon that burned her party alive. This dragon, an interloper from the lower levels of the dungeon, has become so notorious that even the most seasoned parties refuse to engage. Even so, Garbage and Raraja agree to aid Berkanan, and Iarumas lends his support. The chances of failure are high, but in the dungeon, immolation is not a permanent end...as long as someone is willing to pay. Can Iarumas’s party douse the flames of the dragon, or will they all succumb to a menacing red death?
