  The award-winning stories in Dima Alzayat's collection, Alligator and Other Stories, are luminous and tender, whether dealing with a woman preforming burial rites for her brother in "Ghusl," or the great-aunt struggling to explain cultural identity to her niece in "Once We Were Syrians."Alzayat's stories are rich and relatable, chronicling a sense of displacement through everyday scenarios. There is the intern in pre-#MeToo Hollywood of "Only Those Who Struggle Succeed," or the "dangerous" women of "The Daughters of Manāt" who struggle to assert their independence.The title story, "Alligator," is a masterpiece of historical reconstruction and intergenerational trauma, told in an epistolary format through social media posts, newspaper clippings, and testimonials, that starts with the true story of the lynching of a Syrian immigrant couple by law officers in small-town Florida. Placed in a wider context of US racial violence, the extrajudicial deaths, and what happens to the couple's children and their children's children in the years after, challenges the demands of American assimilation and its limits.Contains mature themes.

  Drawing from his/her own experience as a trans performer, sex worker, and undocumented immigrant, Iván Monalisa Ojeda chronicles the lives of Latinx queer and trans immigrants in New York City. Whether she is struggling with addiction, clashing with law enforcement, or is being subjected to personal violence, each character choses her own path of defiance, often responding to her fate with irreverent dark humor. What emerges is the portrait of a group of friends who express unquestioning solidarity and love for each other, and of an unfamiliar, glittering and violent, New York City that will draw listeners in and swallow them whole.Iván Monalisa's unique narrative talent is on display as he/she artfully transforms the language of the streets, making it his/her own—rich with rhythm and debauchery. This bold new collection positions Ojeda as a fresh and necessary voice within the canon of world literature.Contains mature themes.

  Christmas may come but once a year but human emotions, the driving force of our characters are with us every day.   
   
  Yet, somehow these same emotions when they happen at Christmas, seem amplified, we seem more tender to their touch, their words. 
   
  Whether it’s a long-lost returning soldier wondering how best to return to the arms of his family without too great a risk of shock …….   
   
  Or a prodigal son whose taken path has driven pain into his own and others hearts…..  
   
  Or a murderer carrying out his thoughtless deed but then enmeshed in a dialogue for salvation….. 
   
  These stories reveal much about the human condition. The landscape of our lives reveals that we all have choices, and how we use those choices influences, nourishes, or decays those around us. 
   
  These stories are tidings of both joy and of terror .
