A magical short novel from the author of All My Friends are
Superheroes. A robber charges into a bank with a loaded gun, but
instead of taking any money he steals an item of sentimental value
from each person. Once he has made his escape, strange things start
to happen to the victims. A tattoo comes to life, a husband turns
into a snowman, a baby starts to shit money. And Stacey Hinterland
discovers that she’s shrinking, a little every day, and there is
seemingly nothing that she or her husband can do to reverse the
process. The Tiny Wife is a weird and wonderful modern fable.
Small, but perfectly formed, it will charm, delight and unnerve in
equal measure.

Poetry. "For many years I have admired the restless and generously
spirited poems of Andrew Kaufman. He really does go to both sides
of the Niger--both literally and metaphorically. This is not only a
splendid book but it's also splendid journey "--Thomas Lux"Kaufman
accomplishes what few poets ever achieve--a travel and poetry book
combined, which is as earthy and spiritual as anything the renowned
anthropologist Levi-Straus could have written. This isn't an
Americanized poetical version of Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but
the real thing."--Hal Sirowitz"As in his earlier work, Andrew
Kaufman once again assumes the voice and the manner of the traveler
in the ancient sense of that particular character that recurs
throughout eastern and western literature. In BOTH SIDES OF THE
NIGER, the world the traveler inhabits--because he is never simply
an observer here--is the otherworldly literal and figurative
landscape of West Africa, where more than just hunger and
dehydration are at stake. What distinguishes Mr. Kaufman's poems
from others whose work is driven by the facts and fictions of their
world travels, is that the poems gathered here are illustrative of
an obsessive and undeniable desire to be inside of the place the
poet almost haphazardly finds himself in, and once there to
participate as fully as possible in the pathologies of love and
work that define our world and the world of cultures other than
ours. This is a complicated gesture, especially when expressed in
the form of poetry, and it can only be accomplished by having a
craftsman's ear for the turn of the line, a palpable generosity of
spirit that understands the sameness of us all, and a regard for
language that compels the poet to settle on nothing less than
getting the words right. Andrew Kaufman understands these things
and his poetry is therefore worthy of our attention and our
praise."--Bruce Weigl"As in his earlier collection, Earth's Ends,
Andrew Kaufman here takes the considerable risk of writing poems
based on experiences sought, at least in part, for that purpose.
They splendidly transcend reportage, largely because of Kaufman's
deep knowledge of the craft. He allows traditional verse into the
poems just long enough to establish the contrasting perceptions of
order in the observer's mind and in the cultures observed. Thus he
creates an exhilarating balance between the joys of discovery and
the tragic limits of our understanding."--Henry Taylor
