Now, decades later, and having only succeeded in trapping men, not changing them for the better, its operations are winding down. But in the prison’s waning days, a new horror is unleashed: every full-moon night, the inmates are released, the warden is armed with rifles, and the hunt begins. Every man plans his escape, not knowing if his end will come at the hands of a familiar face, or from the unknown dangers beyond the prison walls.  Ana Paula Maia has once again delivered a bracing vision of our potential for violence, and our collective failure to account for the consequences of our social and political action, or inaction. No crime is committed out of view for this novelist, and her raw, brutal power enlists us all as witness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Antidote Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278267449392,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0146\/8094\/8784\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-08at10.00.22PM.png?v=1780970491"},{"product_id":"gifted","title":"Gifted","description":"\u003cp class=\"ProductItem-details-title\" data-content-field=\"title\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1780971077163_133\"\u003eGifted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-price\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1780971077163_132\"\u003eFiction by Suzumi Suzuki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductItem-details-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1780971077163_131\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslated from the Japanese by Allison Markin Powell.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the last days of her mother’s life, a young woman living in Tokyo’s red-light district is thrust into a split existence. By day, she negotiates her new role as caregiver of an abusive parent. By night, she drifts home from the hospital, goes out with other sex-workers, thinks about quitting smoking, and numbly remembers Eri, a friend who died the summer before. Her sensitivity to the details of her surroundings grounds an otherwise unstable world, one where each interaction requires a subtle negotiation of economic and sexual power, and proximity rarely means intimacy or connection.⁠⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing on her own experiences as a hostess and adult film actor, GIFTED—Suzumi Suzuki’s first novel to be translated into English—offers a nuanced, frank, and intimate portrayal of the lives of a mother and daughter getting by (or not) in an industry rarely depicted authentically in literary fiction.⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antidote Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278284783664,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0146\/8094\/8784\/files\/9798893389005.webp?v=1780971308"},{"product_id":"of-cattle-and-men","title":"Of Cattle and Men","description":"\u003cp\u003eOf Cattle and Men \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiction by Ana Paula Maia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated by Zoe Perry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimals go mad and men die (accidentally and not) at a slaughterhouse in an impoverished, isolated corner of Brazil.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e In a landscape worthy of Cormac McCarthy, the river runs septic with blood. Edgar Wilson makes the sign of the cross on the forehead of a cow, then stuns it with a mallet. He does this over and over again, as the stun operator at Senhor Milo’s slaughterhouse: reliable, responsible, quietly dispatching cows and following orders, wherever that may take him. It’s important to calm the cows, especially now that they seem so unsettled: they have begun to run in panic into walls and over cliffs. Bronco Gil, the foreman, thinks it’s a jaguar or a wild boar. Edgar Wilson has other suspicions. But what is certain is that there is something in this desolate corner of Brazil driving men, and animals, to murder and madness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Charco Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublish Date: April 11, 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 99\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978193867462\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e7.7 X 5.0 X 0.5 inches | 0.3 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antidote Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278305099824,"sku":null,"price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0146\/8094\/8784\/files\/9781913867492-1.jpg?v=1780972895"}],"url":"https:\/\/antidotebooks.com\/collections\/staff-recommendations.oembed","provider":"Antidote Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
