Book Description
Charles is a grad-school dropout whose life and marriage are at an impasse, but a chance encounter will cause him to re-evaluate the choices he has made. Chris R. E. Wells' haunting debut novel chronicles the life of a man whose story is at once foreign and all-too-familiar as it meditates on the nature of memory, fantasy, love, and samaritanism. ""White Kitty, the debut novel by Chris Wells, is ... the smartest, saddest, most beautiful book I've read in a very long time.... The opening chapter is the most brilliant interior monologue I've read since Joyce-simply breathtaking-and from there it only gets better. It's incredibly introspective yet full of action, utterly heartbreaking yet full of hope, delightfully complex yet urgent and honest. A true work of literary art."" -Gilad Elbom, Scream Queens of the Dead Sea

The Selling of 9/11
Author: D. Heller
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137080035
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The Selling of 9/11 argues that the marketing and commodification of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, reveal the contradictory processes by which consumers in the United States (and around the world) use, communicate, and construct national identity and their sense of national belonging through cultural and symbolic goods. Contributors illuminate these processes and make important connections between myths of nation, practices of mourning, theories of trauma, and the politics of post-9/11 consumer culture. Their essays take critical stock of the role that consumer goods, media and press outlets, commercial advertising, marketers and corporate public relations have played in shaping cultural memory of a national tragedy.

Weedflower
Author: Cynthia Kadohata
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439132100
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Twelve-year-old Sumiko feels her life has been made up of two parts: before Pearl Harbor and after it. The good part and the bad part. Raised on a flower farm in California, Sumiko is used to being the only Japanese girl in her class. Even when the other kids tease her, she always has had her flowers and family to go home to. That all changes after the horrific events of Pearl Harbor. Other Americans start to suspect that all Japanese people are spies for the emperor, even if, like Sumiko, they were born in the United States! As suspicions grow, Sumiko and her family find themselves being shipped to an internment camp in one of the hottest deserts in the United States. The vivid color of her previous life is gone forever, and now dust storms regularly choke the sky and seep into every crack of the military barrack that is her new "home." Sumiko soon discovers that the camp is on an Indian reservation and that the Japanese are as unwanted there as they'd been at home. But then she meets a young Mohave boy who might just become her first real friend...if he can ever stop being angry about the fact that the internment camp is on his tribe's land. With searing insight and clarity, Newbery Medal-winning author Cynthia Kadohata explores an important and painful topic through the eyes of a young girl who yearns to belong. Weedflower is the story of the rewards and challenges of a friendship across the racial divide, as well as the based-on-real-life story of how the meeting of Japanese Americans and Native Americans changed the future of both.

Book Description
Love was never part of his plan...until it pounced. As heir to an old and proud heritage, Aubrey Reynolds works and lives for his family, his employees and his pack. Agreeing to watch after a visiting werewolf is no big deal-until he discovers the newcomer is his mate. His very male mate...which is a very big deal, indeed. Revealing his sexuality was never part of Aubrey's well-ordered life plan. Much as he loved caring for his eight younger brothers, Matt Mahihkan knows it's time to grab the opportunity to attend college in Atlanta. Realizing Aubrey is his mate should have been a delightful experience...except Aubrey treats him more like a dirty little secret than a lover. Yet Matt is a patient man. Aubrey can't stay in the closet forever. Can he? In time, they settle into a comfortable, if complicated, routine. Until a rogue werewolf with an axe to grind forces Aubrey to add to the wedge of secrets driving him and Matt apart, leaving Matt exposed to danger...and Aubrey forced to choose between love and duty. Warning: Contains color abuse with a really bad sense of fashion, a southern accent from hell, sex on antique furniture, a pouncing playful werewolf, obnoxious siblings, liberal use of a color identifier and impatient sex. No lightning bugs were harmed in the making of this book.
