  Ten tales of misfits in big cities and lonely
backwaters, striving to free themselves from traps of their own making
  
  In each of Bell’s ten
stories, characters struggle through trying times, captives of their own bad decisions or plain bad luck. In
“Black and Tan,” a farmer’s fortitude after the tragic death of his family leads him to become a
savior of delinquent boys. The title story charts a London student’s crumbling psyche. And in “Petit
Cachou” hustlers and panhandlers in the French Riviera experience the darker side of life on a seemingly perfect
stretch of the Mediterranean coastline. While depicting characters both sympathetic and hopeless, Bell’s
remarkable insight makes for a vivid rendering of civilization’s many frayed edges.
  
  Barking Man is
the author’s second collection of stories, and presents Bell’s writing at its most unforgettable.
 

  
  
  With a writer’s keen eye, a
longtime resident’s familiarity, and his own sly wit, acclaimed novelist Madison Smartt Bell leads us on a walk
through his adopted hometown of Baltimore, a city where crab cakes, Edgar Allan Poe, hair extensions, and John Waters
movies somehow coexist. From its founding before the Revolutionary War to its place in popular culture—thanks to
seminal films like Barry Levinson’s Diner, the television show Homicide, and bestselling books by George
Pelecanos and Laura Lippman—Baltimore is America, and in Charm City, Bell brings its story to vivid life.
 

  First revealing how Baltimore received some of its nicknames—including “Charm
City”—Bell sets off from his neighborhood of Cedarcroft and finds his way across the city’s
crossroads, joined periodically by a host of fellow Baltimoreans. Exploring Baltimore’s prominent role in history
(it was here that Washington planned the battle of Yorktown and Francis Scott Key witnessed the “bombs bursting in
air”), Bell takes us to such notable spots as the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill, as well as many of the
undiscovered corners that give Baltimore its distinctive character. All the while, Charm City sheds deserved light onto
a sometimes overlooked, occasionally eccentric, but always charming place.

  One fateful decision
pushes a soldier from a life of stifling order to a life of freedom as doomed as it is thrilling
  
  Macrae,
a nice kid from a small town in Tennessee, joins the army only because the boys he grew up with enlisted before him. But
when military life doesn’t suit the young dreamer, he goes AWOL, and his wanderlust leads him to New York and a
partnership with a charismatic hustler named Charlie. Soon the toxic chemistry between the two makes trouble for both,
and the stakes of their petty crimes increase. When the partners find themselves on the run and back in Tennessee,
Macrae must come to grips with the man he’s become.
  
  Engrossing and unforgettable, Save Me, Joe
Louis is a powerful psychological study, and a tour de force by an American master at his best.
  
  
  
  Two Southern soldiers,
recently back from Vietnam, struggle to resume their lives amid dangerous and deep-rooted prejudice
  
 
Thomas Laidlaw returns home from Vietnam with nothing much in mind but to tend his acreage, live apart, and get lost in
the roots music he grew up with. Laidlaw’s childhood friend Rodney Redmon is doubly burdened: Not only is he
scarred from the war, he is also a black man living in a prejudiced area of Tennessee. Redmon’s homecoming from
the war included time in jail—the result of his being framed for real estate fraud by racist forces within the
local establishment. Once released, he and Laidlaw rekindle their friendship and both veterans try to put the war behind
them. But when a group of local Klansman emerges, the violence that haunts them may prove impossible to escape.
 

  Masterful in its execution and stunning in its emotional resonance, Soldier’s Joy is a riveting portrait
of two damaged souls struggling to achieve solace despite the demons of their past.
  
  
  
  At the end of the 1700s, French Saint Domingue
was the richest and most brutal colony in the Western Hemisphere. A mere twelve years later, however, Haitian rebels had
defeated the Spanish, British, and French and declared independence after the first—and only—successful
slave revolt in history. Much of the success of the revolution must be credited to one man, Toussaint Louverture, a
figure about whom surprisingly little is known. In this fascinating biography, Madison Smartt Bell, award-winning author
of a trilogy of novels that investigate Haiti’s history, combines a novelist’s passion with a deep
knowledge of the historical milieu that produced the man labeled a saint, a martyr, or a clever opportunist who
instigated one of the most violent events in modern history. The first biography in English in over sixty years of the
man who led the Haitian Revolution, this is an engaging reexamination of the controversial, paradoxical leader.

  A photographer descends into New York
City’s chaotic and brutal underground in this sweeping story of the Big Apple at its seediest
  
 
It’s 1982, and Clarence Dmitri Larkin is working as a photographer at Bellevue hospital in Manhattan. The job
offers a painfully clear perspective on a city sick with madness, fraught with crime, and coming apart at the seams.
Larkin’s curiosity soon leads to a subterranean world of all the city’s secret dangers, including domestic
terrorists with a nuclear device, a serial killer inspired by an occult past, and a disfigured arsonist who just might
be the one to burn the whole city down.
  
  Waiting for the End of the World is a gritty portrait of 1980s
New York, and an engrossing look at the battle of good versus evil in a city racked with violence and paranoia.
 

  
  
  Madison
Smartt Bell’s debut novel: a story of drifters, outcasts, junkies, and dealers surviving in the heart of 1980s
New York City
  
  Over one busy weekend, small-time heroin dealer Johnny B. Goode and his alliance of fellow
pushers work their trade amidst students, businessmen, and assorted sewer rats while avoiding the law. Narrated from the
separate perspectives of each member of the gang, The Washington Square Ensemble follows the twisted paths that have led
the seven men through the grittyNew York underworld and towards a fragile alliance at Washington Square.
  
 
With humor, compassion, and an uncanny ear for voices of the streets, Madison Smartt Bell delivers a stunning
indictment—and occasional celebration—of a blighted New York landscape.
  
  Review
  
  “The most exotic bunch of sweet characters since some of Jack Kerouac’s ‘holy angels’
first came alive in print.” —Los Angeles Herald Examiner
  
  “Madison Smartt Bell . . .
has an uncanny understanding of the way many people must struggle to live.” — The New York Times Book
Review
  
  
  
 
Madison Smartt Bell’s celebrated debut story collection about the daily struggles of life in America
  
  The characters in this captivating collection of stories are linked by imprisonment in desperate circumstances and
the currents of history that carry them along. Praised for its clarity of voice and vision, Zero db and Other Stories
begins with a grim tour of the Deep South that includes a visit to a Tennessee slaughter yard, an unflinching look at
the underbelly of the Northeast, and even a trip back in time to the Great Plains of the nineteenthth century and the
confluence of events leading up to the Battle of Little Bighorn.
  
  Engrossing and brimming with insight,
Bell’s early stories are remarkable for their ambition of scope and the author’s deft rendering of human
diversity.
