Husky
Author: Justin Sayre
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0399540040
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
"[G]enuinely funny, heart-wrenching . . ." - Kirkus Reviews "[A] moving journey of self-discovery and a gratifying coming-of-age story." - Publishers Weekly "Husky . . . is a superb addition to the middle grade literary canon." - VOYA Reviews "There is not a false note in the writing . . ." - Lambda Literary A beautifully voiced debut captures an intimate story of change and acceptance. Twelve-year-old Davis lives in an old brownstone with his mother and grandmother in Brooklyn. He loves people-watching in Prospect Park, visiting his mom in the bakery she owns, and listening to the biggest operas he can find as he walks everywhere. But Davis is having a difficult summer. As questions of sexuality begin to enter his mind, he worries people don’t see him as anything other than “husky.” To make matters worse, his best girlfriends are starting to hang out with mean girls and popular boys. Davis is equally concerned about the distance forming between him and his single mother as she begins dating again, and about his changing relationship with his amusingly loud Irish grandmother, Nanny. Ultimately, Davis learns to see himself outside of his one defining adjective. He’s a kid with unique interests, admirable qualities, and people who will love him no matter what changes life brings about.

ISBN: 166323163X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
The journey of Erin Milesdottur from our 21st century to the medieval age of a sister world is an exceptionally strange story told in Against a Fell Current. Erin’s circumstances in her new world are unusual; she is the copilot in her own body while Loki, the dark Norse god, is pilot. Loki takes control intermittently and only under unusual circumstances so most of the time Erin is ‘in charge’ and possessed of godlike powers. Truly helping other people is tricky and difficult, especially if you’re twenty first century and they are medieval, but Erin, with tact, wisdom and imagination manages this difficult feat brilliantly. The only thing truly beyond her reach is getting home to her own world. Or is it?

American Hunks
Author: David L. Chapman
Publisher: arsenal pulp press
ISBN: 1551524651
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The "American hunk" is a cultural icon: the image of the chiseled, well-built male body has been promoted and exploited for commercial use for over 125 years, whether in movies, magazines, advertisements, or on consumer products, not only in America but throughout the world. American Hunks is a fascinating collection of images (many in full color) depicting the muscular American male as documented in popular culture from 1860 to 1970. The book, divided into specific historic eras, includes such personalities as bodybuilder Charles Atlas; pioneer weightlifter Eugene Sandow; movie stars like Steve "Hercules" Reeves and Johnny "Tarzan" Weismuller; and publications such as the 1920s-era magazine Physical Culture and the 1950s-era comic book Mr. Muscles. It also touches on the use of masculine, homoerotic imagery to sell political and military might (including American recruitment posters and Nazi propaganda from the 1936 Olympics), and how companies have used buff, near-naked men to sell products from laundry detergent to sacks of flour since the 1920s. The introduction by David L. Chapman offers insightful information on individual images, while the essay by Brett Josef Grubisic places the work in its proper historical context. David L. Chapman has written many books on male photography and bodybuilding, including Comin' at Ya!: The Homoerotic 3-D Photographs of Denny Denfield. Brett Josef Grubisic is author of the novel The Age of Cities and editor of Contra/Diction: New Queer Fiction.
