Some of My Best Friends
Author: Tajja Isen
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982178434
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
"A fearless and darkly comic essay collection about race, justice, and the limits of good intentions. In this stunning debut collection, Catapult editor-in-chief and award-winning voice actor Tajja Isen explores the absurdity of living in a world that has grown fluent in the language of social justice but doesn't always follow through. These nine daring essays explore the sometimes troubling and often awkward nature of that discord. Some of My Best Friends takes on the cartoon industry's pivot away from colorblind casting, the pursuit of diverse representation in the literary world, the law's refusal to see inequality, and the cozy fictions of nationalism. Isen deftly examines the quick, cosmetic fixes society makes to address systemic problems, and reveals the unexpected ways they can misfire. ...Isen interlaces cultural criticism with her lived experience to explore the gaps between what we say and what we do, what we do and what we value, what we value and what we demand."--Publisher's website.

Pages : 386
Book Description
In an underground orphan center on an overpopulated planet, Tajen Jesmuhr dreams of freedom in a distant wilderness under an open sky. So when offered an interplanetary ecology class with offworld field trips, Taje leaps at the chance. But Taje isn't the only misfit here, where everyone has a tragic past and hidden wounds, and she soon clashes with her teacher and her classmates, including: A boy with a frightening secret who lost his family to a terrorist plague. A crafty female human-alien chimera whose parents disappeared in a paraspace accident. And a boy with a hidden past and a dead father he still hates. All may have promising careers ahead of them, but only if they can learn to trust themselves and one another enough to survive an uncaring system and a deadly final exam. Andre Norton believed in this story, and anyone--young and old--who loves science fiction with interesting characters, alien animals, and interplanetary adventures without war will enjoy it too.

Tommy Abernathy has been fighting a battle within himself. A battle he’s worked tirelessly to keep in the dark. Because of that, Tommy is quiet, reserved, and well-liked by friends and teachers. That’s something he can’t understand, he doesn’t even like himself in most cases. He’s grown dependent on his best friend to drag him out of his box and add some flair to his life. Dan Johnston, Tommy’s best friend on the other hand is an instigator. Varsity soccer, adventurous, tall, dark and handsome, and outgoing, Dan seems to have it all. Although his best friend thinks he could lose the nagging girlfriend. He’s been Tommy’s best friend since the first day of third grade, the Mutt to Tommy’s Jeff. Dan spent the last days of their senior year in high school trying to convince Tommy to blow out their last summer before going away to college. Their summer of memories kicks off right after graduation with a camping trip. The caveat; they’ll be at an abandoned, allegedly haunted summer camp on the sandy shore of Lake Erie. What could possibly go wrong, right? From the first night and a traumatic awakening, Tommy’s epic internal battle comes to the surface. As the three-night camping trip progresses, new truths are discovered and the dynamic of Dan and Tommy’s friendship is changed forever.

Part-Time Perverts
Author: Lauren Rosewarne
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313391580
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
This book offers an erudite yet highly accessible exploration of the presence of sexual perversion in popular culture and its manifestation in everyday life. An interdisciplinary exploration of sexual perversion in everyday life, Part-Time Perverts: Sex, Pop Culture, and Kink Management starts from the premise that, for better or worse, everyone is exposed to a continual barrage of representations of sexual perversion, both subliminal and overt. Our involvement, Dr. Lauren Rosewarne contends, is universal, but our management strategies cover a spectrum of behavioral possibilities from total repression to total immersion. It is those strategies that she examines here. Drawing on her own experience, as well as on pop culture and a multidisciplinary mix of theory, Rosewarne shifts the discussion of perversion away from the traditional psychological and psychiatric focus and instead explores it through a feminist lens as a social issue that affects everyone. Her book examines representations of perversion—from suppression to dabbling to full-body immersion—and proposes a classification for perversion management, and charts the diverse strategies we use to manage, and perhaps enjoy, exposure.
