1st printing. Written by Marguerite Abouet. Art and cover by Clement Oubrerie. Translated by Edwge Renee Dro. Marguerite Abouet and Clement Oubrerie's world-renowned and critically acclaimed series about '80s life in the Ivory Coast continues with Aya: Face the Music. After getting thrown in jail for organizing a student housing protest, Aya must grapple with the aftermath of her decisions. Her friends don't have it much easier. Her classmate Cyprien has been unconscious since police violently broke up their demonstration, and his family can barely scrape together funds for treatment. Her dear friend Albert, last seen passing out at dinner with his family, awakes in the countryside in the clutches of a healer his father has hired to pray his gay away. In France, Albert's ex-paramour Inno agrees to enter into a fake marriage with his friend Sabine with surprising results. And back in Abidjan, embattled starlet Bintou must find a way to capitalize on the public's newfound sympathy after her house is burned down by an angry mob. This contemporary classic of Ivorian literature bridges the gap between the past and present, proving that no matter how much things may change, we change with them too.

1st printing. By Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie. The original Drawn & Quarterly volume of Aya debuted last year to much critical acclaim, receiving a Quill Award-nomination and praise for its accessibility and for the rare portrait of a warm, vibrant Africa it presents. This continuation of the dynamic story by Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie returns to Africa's Ivory Coast in the late 1970s, where life in Yop City is as dramatic as ever. The original cast of characters returns in full force, with a case of questionable paternity fanning the flames of activity in the community. New mother Adjoua has her friends to help with the baby, perhaps employing Aya a bit too frequently, while a new romance leaves Bintou with little time for her friends, let alone their responsibilities. These characters find their way in the world, brining Africa to rich and vibrant life. Hardcoevcr, 128 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

1st printing. Story and art by Osamu Tezuka. Long considered as one of Osamu Tezuka's most political narratives, Ayako is also considered to be one of his most challenging as it defies the conventions of his manga by utilizing a completely original cast and relying solely on historical drama to drive the plot. Set in the aftermath of World War II, Ayako focuses its attention on the Tenge clan, a once powerful family of landowners living in a rural community in northern Japan. The war and American occupation have begun to erode the fabric that binds them all together. And when the family seems to have completely fallen apart, they decide to turn their collective rage on what they believe to be the source of their troubles - the newest member of the Tenge family, the youngest sister Ayako. Hardcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 704 pages, B&W. Cover price $26.95.

1st printing. By Rak Razam. Foreword by Dennis J. McKenna. Aya Awakening's strong adventure narrative and the mythic attraction of shamanism will appeal to alternative-minded counterculture seekers hungry for a bold story with a spiritual premise; new age and body, mind, and spirit readers; and global backpackers interested in psychedelics. In areas of Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, the traditional herbal brew known as ayahuasca or yajé is legally used to heal physical ailments and to cleanse and purify the spirit by connecting it to the web of life; Sting and Tori Amos have admitted sampling it in Latin America, as has Paul Simon, who chronicled the experience in his song "Spirit Voices." In this book, Rak Razam, an Australian journalist, sets out to document the thriving business of 21st-century Amazonian hallucinogenic shamanism. Starting with a trip to the 7th annual Amazonian Shaman Conference in Iquitos, Peru, Razam meets a motley crew of "spiritual tourists," rogue scientists, black magicians, and indigenous and Western shamans, all in search of the experience offered by the ritual--and the medicine--of ayahuasca, "the vine of souls." During his research, Razam finds himself diving deeper into the shamanic lifestyle. Combining his personal story with the history of Amazonian shamanism, Razam takes the reader along on his enlightening adventure. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 512 pages, Text. Cover price $26.95.
