Andrés Neuman's mind-bending set of stories, The Things We Don't Do (Open Letter), calls to mind the best of Julio Cortázar, Jorge Luis Borges, and Roberto Bolaño. Playful, philosophizing, and gloriously unpredictable, Neuman's short stories are intellectually stimulating and told with a voice that is wry, questioning, sometimes mordantly funny, yet always generously humane. The Things We Don't Do confirms Neuman's place as one of the most dynamic authors writing today.

In drought-stricken Portland, Oregon, a Robin Hood-esque water thief is caught on camera redistributing an illegal truckload of water to those in need. Nicknamed Maid Marian, Renee, a 20-something barista and eternal part-time college student, is an instant folk hero. She rides her swelling popularity and the public's disgust at how the city has abandoned its people, raises an army... and secedes a quarter of the city. Benjamin Parzybok's Sherwood Nation (Small Beer Press) is the story of the rise and fall of a micronation within a city. It is a love story, a war story, a grand social experiment; a treatise on hacking and remaking government, on freedom and necessity, on individualism and community.
