Told in the first person and with an intensity as if the events are happening at the moment, Sacramento-based author RODION REBENYAR has created a story built around a tragedy which, by rights, should never have happened. The subject of the book was prompted by the ignorance, not only in the LGBTQ community but the public at large, of widespread injustice which occurred at the end of World War II and the revelations about the extent of Europe's ghastly Holocaust.Many German citizens were tried and sentenced to terms in prison or concentration camps due to the strengthening of Paragraph 175 ...

One book was not enough to tell the story of something that happened in American history which many people know nothing of today and refuse to believe ever occurred. In KENJI WANTS OUT - 1, the impact of Executive Order 9066 is felt by persons of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast of the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II. Two young men on opposite sides of the relocation order grapple with issues of war, hate, mistrust and turmoil that confront them. At the end of Book One they (and the reader) wonder if their deep love for one ...

People said it couldn't possibly have happened here. Many refuse to believe it to this day. The fact is, though, that concentration camps existed within the borders of the United States. Designed for mandatory resettlement of persons of Japanese descent, Executive Order 9066 signed by President Franklin Roosevelt was ostensibly designed to protect them from the overwhelming hysteria which permeated the West Coast after the attack on Pearl Harbor and U.S. involvement in World War II. What it ultimately did was destroy family life, exclude an entire community of largely law-abiding American ...

The Summer of '69. A summer when it all came together... and when a lot of things came apart. A summer of small steps and giant leaps... or beginnings and endings... of change. For Theresa McKinley, Julia Bancroft, Jillian Adams, Alan Madison, Abby Waterstone, Reggie Moore, and other characters from the Fate, Chance, and Choices trilogy and related works, it was a summer in which a lot happened, in which they connected to each other and what was going on in the world around them. It was a summer that brought transformation, reflection, action, and reaction. It was a summer like no other. ...

Zu schlau'n'schlank für ein bestimmtes Geschlecht? - Virginia Woolfs "Orlando" geistert durch vier Jahrhunderte. Mal als Mann, mal als Frau mischt er/sie historische Genderrollen auf und ist dabei doch immer dicht beim alten Shakespeare. Orlandos epische Zeit- und Weltreise, nimmt uns mit auf eine furiose Achterbahnfahrt der Gefühle. So wild die Kapriolen und so amüsant die Hakenschläge auch sein mögen, sind sie doch unerschütterlich durchtränkt von echt britischem Humor. Orlando, das ist Verführung pur.

Un fantasma in gola esplora la femminilità e il desiderio. Doireann Ní Ghríofa racconta la maternità nella sua dimensione universale, e ne fa metafora della scrittura capace di ricucire le ferite più intime e creare echi tra universi lontani:un’opera sul suono che allontana e unisce l’ultimo sospiro di un uomo che muore e il primo vagito di una nuova vita. Dopo aver avuto tre figli in pochi anni, l’autrice ha adattato la propria vita su quella dei suoi bambini: poppate, pappe da preparare, viaggi in macchina verso scuola e ritorno, cartoni animati e sonni sempre troppo brevi.
