Book the Eleventh

September 19, 2010 by Kathleen Rooney

Rose Metal Press just published our eleventh book to date! Adam Golaski’s short short story collection Color Plates, pictured here, hanging out on my couch, which it inadvertently matches:

It will look elegant in your home, as well, regardless of what style of furnishings you have. And Publishers Weekly likes it, too. “The artwork of Cassatt, Manet, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec make up four rooms of a fictional museum that house a series of brief stories (plates) imagined by Golaski. Over the course of 66 plates, he reveals the subtle intersections between appreciation and invention. Introductions to each plate describing specific works or art or processes allow him to establish an inspiration point, and poetic leaps of logic or obvious anachronisms (like television, airplanes, and Elizabeth Taylor) deepen the effort beyond mere homage,” they say. Add to cart!
