The first month of the new year is an exciting one for us at Schaffner
Press. First, we have recently completed the catalogue entries for
the fall, which will include two new titles as well as a print-on-demand
reissue of an earlier book.
Look for Todd Grimson's first original hardcover in fifteen years, the
new story collection, STABS AT HAPPINESS: 13 Stories that will be out
in October. This will also be the first story collection to be published
by Schaffner Press. The short fiction included here spans three decades
of Grimson's writing, from earlier pieces published in The Quarterly and
BOMB to more recent stories written under his androgynous pseudonym,
Innocente Fontana, which were placed in a variety of major online literary publications such as "Pank', SPORK and "bikinigirl." This collection will reintroduce a major voice in contemporary fiction and demonstrate that Grimson is a writer of extraordinary range and imagination.
In January, 2013 Schaffner Press will publish the first major biography of actor and icon Lee Marvin to come out in thirty years. Written by journalist Dwayne Epstein, who has been at work on this definitive portrait for 15 years, LEE MARVIN: Point Blank will examine the actor's life which was informed at an early age by violence and upheaval, from his chaotic youth to his horrific experiences in the Pacific in WWII; and a film career that includes classics in noir, westerns, thrillers, and war dramas that spanned over forty years in Hollywood. Marvin's relationships with his wives, lovers, leading ladies and men, his friendships and his colleagues are also examined in this revealing and honest portrayal of one of film's most iconic, influential, yet misunderstood figures in 20th century American film.
In addition, September 2012 will see the return to print as a pod title of
THE SNOW ANGEL by Michael Graham, the gripping and uplifting crime novel based on real events that was first published in 2007. For more information on this and other titles, visit our home page and the Schaffner Press Facebook page.
