"A concise and enlightening overview of the last fifty years of LGBTQ literature from South America's largest country. Spanning Brazil's regional boundaries and including legends such as Ana Cristina Cesar, Caio Fernando Abreu, and Wilson Bueno, as well as newer voices such as Marcio Junqueira, Cristina Judar, and Angélica Freitas among many others, Cuíer is nothing less than divine!" --John Keene, author of Counternarratives

"Fabulously queer in both senses of the word: it's unlike anything you've encountered before, yet ever familiar." --Rabih Alameddine, author of The Wrong End of the Telescope

"Oppression and liberation, struggle and joy, lots of sex and community, complicated childhood awakenings, coming-out euphorias, adulthood analyses--Cuier merges the universality of queer experiences with the specificity of the Brazilian culture, creating an an inspiring collection of angles and stances, forms and attitudes, that carries through to the very last, moving piece." --Michelle Tea, author of Against Memoir

"Cuíer: Queer Brazil is a thrilling collection of joyous and ruinous life in all of its contradictions. Like Kafka's parables or Lispector's The Passion According to G.H., the work in this volume makes a profound ethical statement: to depict honestly one's life at oblique angles, often beautiful, often terrifying, can be both personal and revolutionary." --Patrick Cottrell, editor of McSweeney's 62: The Queer Fiction Issue Praise for the Calico Series

"Stone, earth, water, ice, wind, and burning heat. The stories here dig deep and unexpectedly into life's fundamentals--the elements and the passions--bringing into English, many for the first time, writers of stature from across the globe. A celebration of both storytelling and translation, Elemental is essential; a gift that opens up the pleasures of new worlds." --Hugh Raffles, author of The Book of Unconformities, on Elemental

"Marvelous...a credit to the art of both poets and translators." --Cynthia Hogue, author of In June the Labyrinth and co-translator of Joan Darc, by Nathalie Quintane, on Home

"This remarkable anthology of Chinese speculative fiction offers seven tales of societal responsibility and individual freedom.... By turns cryptic and revealing, phantasmagorical and straightforward, these tales balance reality and fantasy on the edge of a knife." --Publishers Weekly, starred review of That We May Live

"With enthralling and precise language, this first book in Two Lines Press' Calico series of collected translated literature impresses...This collection of speculative Chinese fiction is compelling and provocative, exploring the thin line between reality and absurdity.
