Book Description
This 1995 critical study of Ibsen's A Doll's House addresses fundamental questions of text, reception and performance. What is the definitive 'version' of A Doll's House: original text, translation, stage presentation, radio version, adaptation to film or television? What occurs when a drama intended for recipients in one language is translated into another, or when a play written for the stage is adapted for radio, television or film? And to what extent do differences between the media and between directorial approaches influence the meaning of the play text? Discussions of these issues include an internal analysis of the dramatic text and comparative performance analysis, framed by the biographical background to the play and its impact on dramas by Strindberg, Shaw and O'Neill and on films by Ingmar Bergman. The book concludes with a list of productions and a select bibliography.

Book Description
Although it lasted barely more than a season, Dollhouse continues to intrigue viewers as one of Joss Whedon’s most provocative forays into television. The program centered on men and women who have their memories and personalities repeatedly wiped and replaced with new ones by a shadowy corporation dedicated to “fulfilling the whims of the rich.” This chilling scenario was used to tell stories about big issues—power and resistance, freedom and servitude, class and gender—while always returning to its central themes of identity and individuality. In Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse: Confounding Purpose, Confusing Identity, Sherry Ginn, Alyson R. Buckman, and Heather M. Porter bring together fourteen diverse essays that showcase the series’ complex vision of the future. Contributors probe deeply into the fictional universe of the show by considering the motives of the wealthy clients and asking what love means when personalities are continually remade. Other essays consider the show’s relations to politics, philosophy, and psychology and its representations of race and gender. Several essays explore the show’s complex relationship to transhumanism: considering the dark potential for dehumanization and abuse that lurks beneath the promise of turning bodies into temporary vessels for immortal, downloadable personalities. Though a short-lived series, Dollhouse has been hailed as one of television’s most thoughtful explorations of classic science fiction themes. As the first serious treatment of this landmark show, this collection will interest science-fiction scholars and Whedon fans alike.

Book Description
""Alan Walowitz's poetry can provoke out-loud laughter and pensive melancholy; better still, he can even do both in the same poem. He has a particular talent for reconstructing recollections, quietly showing us what is moving about them and why, as in this volume's splendid title poem."" Robert Wexelblatt, author of 'The Posthumous Papers of Sidney Fein' ""What I love about Alan Walowitz's poems, is the very relatable way in which he captures so many of life's important moments with astute observation, wry humor, and empathy. He has a distinctive voice which infiltrates my synapses and resonates with my heart."" Betsy Mars, author of 'Alinea' ""Alan Walowitz is neither withholding nor unnecessarily oblique. And then there's the welcome wit, as he juggles the sometimes Jewish-blues in deft narratives that never cease to surprise. In his refusal to claim wisdom, he is wise. And oh, so rare to turn a breath into a gasp."" Estha Weiner, author of 'at the last minute'

112 acrostics from John Lambremont, Sr. ""The author's skill is paramount. It is not easy to create a puzzle with its answer embedded therein. Clever, yes, but more. There is a reason many have relied on this form of writing; beginning with the Bible, telling those who venture to know, there is more here than meets the eye; found in Medieval literature, the work of Edgar Allan Poe, Lewis Carroll, if you did not know, tells us Alice's real name at the end in this way, if you can find your way Through the Looking-Glass. Within these pages, "A Small Gift" telling of love, up and down the page. "A Big Pioneer" hinting with "Train colored blue made you a new sensation"-it's all there-for us to find."" Howard Richard Debs, finalist and recipient of the 28th annual 2015 Anna Davidson Rosenberg Poetry Awards, and author of Gallery: A Collection of Pictures and Words, a 2017 Best Book Awards and 2018 Book Excellence Awards recipient.

Book Description
"Salvatore Difalco's fiction is a finely blended mix of toughness, street-smart insights and violence, along with flashes of tenderness and compassion. (His stories) are thoughtful, enigmatic ... drawing the reader in with sharp detail, poetic phrasing and recognizable characters. Though we're dealing with thugs, prostitutes and crackheads, they are all folks you'll feel uncomfortably at home with. That's Difalco's magic: scrape characters from the bottom of society's bowl and reveal them in literary daylight as powerless dreamers, failed mothers, caged creatures."

108 stories of infidelity ""Disturbingly knowing and knowingly disturbing, Edward O'Dwyer comes at his delicate subject matter with a playful and razor eye. These are shards that insist on being read, and then read again."" Alan McMonagle, author of 'Psychotic Episodes' and 'Ithaca' ""Cheat Sheets (is) an astonishing collection of vignettes about life, love, lust and relationships, which are jaw-droppingly hilarious, tender, strange, potent and weirdly charming--all at the same time. I laughed out loud in public too many times, the laughs often interrupted with sharp intakes of breath, as stories took outrageously i-didn't-see-that-coming turns. If I have any advice for readers when they sit down with this collection, it is this: pace yourself. Like a packet of Nestl 's Rolos or a family size packet of salt & vinegar crisps, you won't want these stories to end.""
