"An enlightening and even inspiring guide to utilizing elements of one's own life and one's family history as fodder for writing novels and short stories."—Booklist
product image By Ros Schwartz and Lulu Norman and Aziz Chouaki
“What starts out as a novel about sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll ends up as a warning of how the most unlikely person can convert to religious fanaticism. Chouaki, exiled in France since 1991, writes in a vivacious, telegraphic style that clearly delineates both the Algerian entertainment underworld and the asphyxiating totalitarianism of fanaticism, which few Americans comprehend.” —Library Journal

The marriage of science and poetry: 18th century medicine and the mystery of the female body.
product image By Madelon Sprengnether
"In these insightful essays, even the writing itself is cinematic, as Sprengnether's memories and quick film summaries meld into one another, making it seem as if the author hasn't just seen many movies, but has actually lived one." —Publishers Weekly
product image By Michael Lowenthal
"Disturbing, elegant and powerful...[Lowenthal] has thrown down one hell of a gauntlet. Disarmingly but beautifully, he's explored the blurry line between selfless love and selfish lust." —The Washington Post
