Dzanc rEprint Series

The Dzanc Books rEprint Series is dedicated to publishing great works of contemporary literature that are deserving and clearly will benefit from having their work appear in electronic form. Our efforts include works that have recently gone out of print, books in print that have yet to be converted to e-form, as well as titles where the author holds the eBook rights and is looking for a publishing partner for the electronic version of their book. Starting in Summer 2011, these works will be made available by Dzanc to the reading public in the form of eBooks compatible with all currently available eBook platforms, distributed both directly from Dzanc and through eBook resellers.

This series originates out of a belief that many of these titles did not have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential audiences in the time of their original publication, and that a second chance for achieving a wider readership is long overdue. By bringing them back into print in widely-available electronic formats, Dzanc hope to restart the critical conversations around these books, and to get them into the hands of the enthusiastic readers they each deserve. Just as the eBook revoluation has put an always-connected bookstore in the hands of every participating reader, we believe that our rEprint series is an important and innovative part of ensuring that bookstore's virtual shelves are stocked with beautiful editions of these titles, all among the very best books of the preceding decades.

PRAISE

 "A haunting, complex, and very beautiful book. Kennedy has a deep understanding of American longing and the inevitable losses associated with that longing and, because he is a powerful artist, is able to make from that loss a wonderful victory: this moving portrait of the human heart examining itself." —George Saunders, author of CivilWarLand in Bad Decline

"Nietzsche's Horse is full of bad luck and surprises; a kind of American life that can turn religion or science or family quickly into a waking dream or nightmare. Christopher Kennedy is a remarkable storyteller, whispering little mysteries to the reader from many rooms in a concave house. Comic, bewildered, and brilliant, Nietzsche's Horse is a riveting book." —Michael Burkard, author of The Fires They Kept

"Kennedy... carves a new space into the genre of American Surrealistic poetry..." —Rain Taxi
