From Michelle Latiolais' review of "Straight from the Horse's Mouth" (Other Press) by Moroccan-born writer Meryem Alaoui: "The novel is a vivid, and vividly angry, first-person portrait of Jmiaa, now thirty-four, but forced into prostitution by her destitute husband before she is twenty. Jmiaa is biting, funny, oh so streetwise, and not a bit ashamed of her work. You can be ashamed for her, should you dare, but the more Jmiaa’s story unfolds, the more her spirit amazes, springing up off the page."
'I think Trump's rise reflects, among other things, a particular theme in American historyan unresolved problem that sends us into crisis again and again.'-from T.J. Stiles' essay in our Resistance Issue, currently half off until Friday: https://www.zyzzyva.org/product/zyzzyva-no-111-winter-2017/

This year, more than ever, it’s important to support the independent bookstores that help sustain our local literary community. With that in mind, we thought we would share a conversation from Issue 110 between Stephen Sparks (co-owner of Point Reyes Books) and Paul Yamazaki (lead book buyer at City Lights Booksellers & Publishers).
