Book Description
What would you do if your new beginning seems to be the end of something precious, if you lose the only person you’ve ever had as family, if the cost of the love you seek is compromising on who you are? Kavya On some days in your life, you don’t get a say in what happens to your dreams, you just have to swallow the lump in your throat and the pain in your heart and just let life lead you to the place it’s meant to. Maahi The most basic thing about tragedy is, that it stuns you into the kind of grief, that your entire life, the things that mattered to you, the things that used to upset you, concern you or made you happy seem like a huge bunch of lies. Ananya I believe there is a certain point in a person’s life, where they sincerely, almost desperately wish for a magic wand or a mystical creature to shed some light on what went wrong. A state where your entire world is overshadowed by the fact that you failed. And while, no one openly blurts it out on your face, you can feel it by the way people look at you. On a sudden trip to Srinagar, they find each other. Will they be able to find themselves? Flamingos Beyond PINK is a striking tale of self-discovery, heartbreak, longing, friendship and courage. The courage it takes to become who you are.

Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black, new edition
Author: Cookie Mueller
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 1635901677
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
The first collected edition of legendary writer, actress, and adventurer Cookie Mueller's stories, featuring the entire contents of her 1990 book Walking through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black, alongside more than two dozen others, some previously unpublished. Legendary as an underground actress, female adventurer, and East Village raconteur, Cookie Mueller's first calling was to the written word: "I started writing when I was six and have never stopped completely," she once confessed. Muellerís 1990 Walking through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black, the first volume of the Semiotext(e) Native Agents series, was the largest collection of stories she compiled during her life. But it presented only a slice of Mueller's prolific work as a writer. This new, landmark volume collects all of Mueller's stories: from the original contents of Clear Water, to additional stories discovered by Amy Scholder for the posthumous anthology Ask Dr. Mueller, to selections from Mueller's art and advice columns for Details and the East Village Eye, to still "new" stories collected and published here for the first time. Olivia Laing's new introduction situates Mueller's writing within the context of her life—and our times. Thanks to recent documentaries like Mallory Curley's A Cookie Mueller Encyclopedia and Chloé Griffin's oral biography Edgewise, Mueller's life and work have been discovered by a new generation of readers. Walking through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black: Collected Stories returns essential source material to these readers, the archive of Mueller's writing itself. Mueller's many mise en scènes—the Baltimore of John Waters, post-Stonewall Provincetown, avant-garde Italy, 1980s New York, an America enduring Reagan and AIDS—patches together a singular personal history and a primer for others. As Laing writes in her introduction, Collected Stories amounts to "a how-to manual for a life ricocheting joyously off the rails . . . a live corrective to conformity, conservatism, and cruelty."

The Routledge Handbook of Sport, Gender and Sexuality brings together important new work from 68 leading international scholars that, collectively, demonstrates the intrinsic interconnectedness of sport, gender and sexuality.
