Vladimir Nabokov, who rose to international renown as the author of Lolita, also held another, less well known claim to fame: he was the first to introduce crossword puzzles to the Russian-speaking world. As a young exile in Berlin, he earned a precarious living publishing anagrams, chess problems, and word games--"krossvords"--in the pages of the emigre newspaper Rul'. Collected here are 35 puzzles from Rul', together with translations and detailed annotations that offer a window onto the vanished world of Russian emigre life in the decade that followed the Bolshevik revolution. Nabokov's later masterpieces would be renowned for their wordplay, artifice, and intricate verbal patterning; in this simple krossvords, one is given an intriguing glimpse of that genius in the making.

ZYXT

By: Joseph Clayton Mills

An anthology of alienation from A to Z, Zyxt consists of 24 brief and darkly comic tales of idealism and despair; friendship and self-loathing; murder and madness. An unnamed narrator recounts a series of anecdotes about his dearest friends - a collection of misanthropic academics, misfortunate composers, and melancholy astronomers - that together form a mosaic of parables, fables, and paradoxes for the bitter and disaffected.

Unceasing Fury

Texans at the Battle of Chickamauga, September 18-20, 1863

By: Scott L. Mingus,Joseph L. Owen

“Focuses on the extensive contributions to the pyrrhic Confederate victory at Chickamauga made by the brave Lone Star State soldiers.” —Eric J. Wittenberg, award–winning author of Destined to Fail After Gettysburg, it was the Civil War’s largest battle, but until recently, little of consequence had been written about Chickamauga. You can count on one hand the number of authors who have tackled Chickamauga in any real depth, and most of their works cover the entire battle. Left unmined and mostly forgotten are the experiences of specific brigades, regiments, and state-affiliated troops. Scott Mingus and Joseph Owen’s Unceasing Fury: Texans at the Battle of Chickamauga, September 18–20, 1863 is the first full-length book to examine in detail the role of troops from the Lone Star State. Texas troops fought in almost every major sector of the sprawling Chickamauga battlefield, from the first attacks on September 18 on the bridges spanning the creek to the final attack on Snodgrass Hill on September 20. Fortunately, many of the survivors left vivid descriptions of battle action, the anguish of losing friends, the pain and loneliness of being so far away from home, and their often-colorful opinions of their generals. The authors of this richly detailed study based their work on hundreds of personal accounts, memoirs, postwar newspaper articles, diaries, and other primary sources. Their meticulous work provides the first exploration of the critical role Texas enlisted men and officers played in the three days of fighting near West Chickamauga Creek in September 1863. Unceasing Fury provides the Lone Star State soldiers with the recognition they have so long deserved.
