  Two lonely souls. One shared hardship. A love written in letters that reveal everything they fear to say aloud.
  Told through intimate correspondence, Poor Folk follows humble clerk Makar Devushkin and young Varenka Dobroselova as they struggle against poverty, humiliation, and the quiet sorrow of life on society's margins. Their letters—filled with hope, shame, affection, and unspoken longing—create a portrait of human dignity that glows even in the darkest circumstances.
  
  Praised as "a stunning debut that announced Dostoevsky's genius," this novel blends social critique with deep emotional insight. Readers cherish its tenderness, realism, and the aching beauty of two people trying to comfort each other when the world offers them nothing.
  
  If you love heartfelt stories, powerful character voices, and classics that illuminate the resilience of the human spirit, this novel will move you deeply.
  
  Open the letters—and witness a love sustained by hope when everything else seems lost.

  Sometimes, it’s a job for a Dick. 
  Sol the Wise Guy has stayed out of Hornytown for a hot minute. But when a sexy sheyd sweeps into his office saying she’s been framed for murder, well, sometimes a shmendrick’s gotta step up to the task. 
  This silly, satirical, romp through the Devil’s corner of D.C. prompts the question of what we could might repair with a little old Chutzpah. 
  “Wonderfully fun! Hornytown Chutzpah swaps out Virgil for a mouthy private dick to lead you through hell. A visceral underworldly tale, and an unforgettable voice.” —Meg Elison, author of Foundling Fathers 
  “A detective goes to Hell. Literally. What a wild romp! I really enjoyed Hiller’s novella, right down to the very potent chicken soup. For people who love noir, detective stories, and the occasional Pit stop, this is for you.” —Joyce Chng, Hugo Award winner and author of the Fire Heart duology 
  “With verve, razor-sharp wit, and plenty of heart, Hornytown Chutzpah peels back the layers of hell (well, its DC-adjacent outpost) to expose the messy foibles of humanity. Timely, compulsively readable, and just plain fun.” —P. H. Low, Ignyte-, Locus-, and Rhysling-nominated author of These Deathless Shores 
  “Buckle up for a zany romp through the outskirts of hell. Andrew Hiller’s Hornytown Chutzpah mixes together urban fantasy, noir murder mystery, and a big splash of Jewish humor into a wildly imaginative story. It’s bonkers in the best possible way.” —Jo Miles, author of Warped State 
  “This glossary is fantastic. I love it!” —Jennifer Hudak, author of the Nebula finalist Witch Trap
