Wilder
Author: Andrew Simonet
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
ISBN: 0374309280
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
In Wilder, Andrew Simonet takes us on a roller coaster ride of juvenile delinquents following the events of Meili and Jason's turbulent and unconventional meeting and relationship. I met Melissa in the rubber room, a.k.a. in-school suspension. And that’s not her real name. She had secrets, I had enemies. “People are either useful or dangerous,” she said. “One or the other.” “Which one am I?” I said. “You’re both.” Meili was right. (That’s her real name.) You can solve a lot of problems if you don’t mind getting hurt. Jason Wilder is in permanent in-school suspension for fighting. Meili Wen gets there by breaking a girl’s finger. Jason and Meili don’t just connect; they collide. Two people who would never cross paths—outsiders from radically different backgrounds—they form an exhiliarating, unpredictable bond. When circumstances push, they push back. There’s no plan. And there’s no stopping. "I am so crap. How can you stand being with me? Don’t answer that or I will crash this thing with both of us on it, swear to god, are you ready?” Yes. No. Didn’t matter. I reached both arms around Meili’s waist as we zoomed down the hill.

We will see the world in plaid: a mystical weaving of facts, figures, cultures and viewpoints from every corner of the planet, culminating into the fabric that is today." -- p. [2].

The Rice Queen Diaries
Author: Daniel Gawthrop
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 145878035X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
In this moving autobiography, Daniel Gawthrop writes about the politics and pleasures of being a self-identified ''rice queen''; a gay man who is attracted to Asians. Navigating through the urban jungles of Western cities like Vancouver and London, as well as the humid streets of Bangkok and Saigon, Daniel explores the multicultural minefields of sexuality and culture as he articulates the manners and contradictions of his desires. The politics of race, and the unspoken rules of gay Asian culture in both Western and Eastern settings, underscore Daniel's personal journey in which he recalls his teen years spent idolizing Bruce Lee and his fixation on an Asian schoolmate whose hazing becomes a sexual spectacle for him. As he enters adulthood, his desires become manifest as he explores the subcultures of Long Yang Clubs (where gay Asians and ''their admirers'' can meet) before departing for Asia, where his encounters often become transactions, and he learns the hard way that sexual desire has a human and emotional cost. Evoking the themes of Edward Said's Orientalism, The Rice Queen Diaries is as much a personal statement about culture and otherness as it is about gay desire. Traversing three continents, these diaries are a personal reckoning, a bold coming to terms with the nuances of sexuality that has relevance for all of us.
