Book Description
Jonas Mekas has worked together with Andy Warhol, George Maciunas, John Lennon, and many others. In New York he was an influential figure in the New American Cinema, although he came to film-making relatively late. In 1944 Mekas and his younger brother Adolfas had to flee from the Nazis for copying leaflets. They were interned for eight months in a labour camp in Elmshorn. The Soviet occupation prevented him from returning to his native Lithuania after the war and, classed as a ?displaced person?, he lived in DP camps in Wiesbaden and Kassel. Towards the end of 1949 he and his brother emigrated to New York. In his autobiography 'I Had Nowhere to Go' he describes his survival in the camps and his arrival in New York. Mekas tells a universal story, that of an émigré who can never go back, whose loneliness in his new world is emblematic of human existence.

Book Description
How to double-cross Hollywood as an artist? This first monograph on British artist Douglas Gordon analyses all of the artist's video projection installations that are based on his appropriations of Hollywood film noir or Hitchcock films, examining Gordon's language works as well. Counter to the usual interpretations of Gordon's work as a dichotomy between good and evil, Double-Cross argues that his work is all about dissemblance, with the dichotomy only one deception among others. It also argues that, with the inaugural separation of the components of sound and image in his work, one of the artist's disguises is that of an author. All the fragments of the artist's work--projections, language works, photography--add up to the production of a criminal author. His final disguise is that of an experimental filmmaker whose subject is not the film noir themes of trust, guilt, fate, and the madness of the double that appear as the content of his work, but the temporality of the spectator's engagement.

Book Description
After More Than Thirty Years on the job, Fr. Gordon Douglas still finds that each day brings plenty of surprises to keep him on his toes. The only thing he knows for sure is that every day someone is sure to call out, "Hey, Father!" And often when he hears those words, a poignant story follows. Here's a collection of such stories -- sometimes heart-warming, sometimes provocative -- about young people who are struggling to make sense of their lives. Their triumphs, defeats, and challenges have left a lasting impression on those around them. In these pages you'll meet ... the senior heavyweight wrestling team captain who never missed a practice, competed in seventy-four matches ... and had cerebral palsy. Rebecca, a recent grad and single mother who made the hard but courageous choice to deliver her baby and give him up for adoption. Ryland, whose suicide attempt -- jumping off the highest bridge over Puget Sound -- left him wheelchair-bound and brain-damaged. Katy's classmates, who couldn't forgive the man who had brutally murdered her and her mother.
