Title: Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space: A Literary Mixtape Author: Rémy Ngamije Narrator: Anthony Oseyemi, Aaron Goodson, Dennis Kleinman, Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: December 3, 2024 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: A vibrant and brilliant new collection of award-winning short fiction from the acclaimed author of the “charming, witty, and incredibly humane” (The Pittsburgh Gazette) debut The Eternal Audience of One. Presented as a literary mixtape, Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space is a work of literature that provides you with a modern reading experience. The A-Side, read as one narrative, tells the story of a soon-to-be thirty-year-old aspiring writer navigating a complicated world. The B-Side, taken as a separate experience, features (seemingly) independent and unrelated short stories. There’s “Crunchy, Green Apples (or, Omo)”, a story about loss told by the strangest of narrative devices: a shopping list. “Sofa, So Good, Sort Of (or, John Muafangejo)” is a first-person account of a family’s history and a long journey towards hope. A group of friends attempts to navigate a recent breakup in “From the Lost City of Hurtlantis to the Streets of Helldorado (or, Franco).” When read together, however, a third world emerges—a complex, intergenerational, and interconnected world exploring the universal gaping void of grief. Rather than attempting to cross this black hole directly, the collection carefully traces around its edges, revealing the enormity of this cosmic force from the “electrifying voice you have been waiting for” (Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King).

Title: There is a Rio Grande in Heaven: Stories Author: Ruben Reyes Jr. Narrator: Johnny Rey Diaz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 9 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence ''Ruben Reyes Jr. is a wonder.'' — Héctor Tobar An electrifying debut story collection about Central American identity that spans past, present, and future worlds to reveal what happens when your life is no longer your own. An ordinary man wakes one morning to discover he’s a famous reggaetón star. An aging abuela slowly morphs into a marionette puppet. A struggling academic discovers the horrifying cost of becoming a Self-Made Man. In There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven, Ruben Reyes Jr. conjures strange dreamlike worlds to explore what we would do if we woke up one morning and our lives were unrecognizable. Boundaries between the past, present, and future are blurred. Menacing technology and unchecked bureaucracy cut through everyday life with uncanny dread. The characters, from mango farmers to popstars to ex-guerilla fighters to cyborgs, are forced to make uncomfortable choices—choices that not only mean life or death, but might also allow them to be heard in a world set on silencing the voices of Central Americans. Blazing with heart, humor, and inimitable style, There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven subverts everything we think we know about migration and its consequences, capturing what it means to take up a new life—whether willfully or forced—with piercing and brilliant clarity. A gifted new storyteller and trailblazing stylist, Reyes not only transports to other worlds but alerts us to the heartache and injustice of our own.

Title: Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good Author: Eley Williams Narrator: Kit Griffiths Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 18, 2024 Genres: Short Stories Publisher's Summary: A Granta Best Young British Novelist 'A thrilling love for the stuff of language … Magical' JON McGREGOR ‘Poignant and playful’ DAILY MAIL ‘A writer with few real rivals’ IRISH TIMES 'A visionary writer' JAN CARSON The stunning new collection of stories from the award-winning author of The Liar’s Dictionary and Attrib. and Other Stories. Granta Best Young British novelist and acclaimed author of Attrib. and other stories, Eley Williams returns with a thrilling collection of short stories exploring the nature of relationships both intimate and transient – from the easy gamesmanship of contagious yawns to the horror of a smile fixed for just a second too long. A courtroom sketch artist delights in committing portraits of their lover to paper but their need to capture likenesses forever is revealed to have darker, more complex intentions. A child’s schoolyard crush on a saint marks a confrontation with the reality of a teenage body in flux. Elsewhere, an editor of canned laughter loses their confidence and seeks divine intervention, and an essayist annotates their thoughts on Keats by way of internet-gleaned sex tips. Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good hums with fossicking language and ingenious experiments in form and considers notions of playfulness, authenticity and care as it holds relationships to account: their sweet misunderstandings, soured reflections, queer wish fulfilments and shared, held breaths. ‘Undeniably a skilful book’ TELEGRAPH ‘Stories that work from the inside out… glancing, intriguing’ GUARDIAN 'Erudite and audacious' KEIRAN GODDARD ‘Frequently brilliant and deeply pleasurable’ CAOILINN HUGHES ‘I don’t know anyone else who can write like this … What a joy!' BEN PESTER ‘A joy for the head and the heart' RUBY COWLING
