La memoria me falla cada vez más; hace años que dejé el alcohol, pero aún sigo levantándome con resaca cada mañana. Posiblemente me quedé dormido en el sofá nada más llegar del trabajo; no hay por qué alarmarse... Hoy tengo cita con el doctor; espero que todas las pruebas sean favorables pues no puedo permitirme estar de baja; además, ... con mi edad, seguramente me diesen la jubilación anticipada. Ni siquiera puedo pensar en ello; toda mi vida la he dedicado a mi trabajo y no sabría qué hacer sin él.Aunque soy inspector de homicidios, mi trabajo en la comisaría no suele ser demasiado glorioso: por lo general rellenar algunos papeles, sobretodo atender denuncias y quejas de problemas territoriales entre vecinos y, de vez en cuando, investigar la muerte de alguna res. Mi memoria, con los años, se ha ido debilitando, pero aún recuerdo con claridad el suceso del verano del 88: el asesinato de la pequeña Lisa. El suceso conmovió a toda la ciudad e incluso se retransmitió por la televisión nacional. Todavía sigo recopilando información sobre el caso en mis ratos libres, con la esperanza de atrapar algún día al culpable...

هي قصة غامضة لفتاة غامضة تدخل عالم المافيا بأتباع لاأحد يعرف عنهم شيئا ينتاب الجميع الغموض حولها وحول ماضيها ...ليست شريرة وإنما فتاة تحاول بكل قواها تغييير العالم الذي تعيش فيه....

A long ride on a Grey Hound trip could crush the brightness of spirits.Jammed near the bathroom in the back of the bus after an eighteen-hour ride was no fun.>Now, Alice was no angel. She had worked in the back-easy in her county, back home. She knew her way around. Ask her and she would tell you that since she was Fifteen and a half, she was more than prepared to deal with the talk, the walk, the scandals, and oh yeah, the slick men conveying their means to get close, real close with Alice. Though some did between then, and now, Alice maintains that she always left the situation wiser than when she came in. No matter if it was a one-night stand or the year she spent with Duce Man Jack, Alice was no pushover. Alice was no little girl; let's just say she was an 8 waiting to be a 10. But to get those extra points, you have to scrape a little wear and tear off the top. She would have to substitute spit for polish, and you would have to expand her vocabulary from the use of so many four-letter words. But if you did, um, ain't nobody got nothing on this girl.

The final part are poems of finding new healthy love.

Praise for At the End of the World: "This is intensely good writing, overflowing with raw artistry." - James Howard Kunstler "If Hieronymus Bosch came back to write a novella, it might look like this." - The Phoenix "Hats off - this is fine stuff - just right for our apocalyptic age. I was reminded of early Pynchon in a very good way - it's terrific. All the characters are strong. And such economical writing with constant dashes of rhetorical brilliance. It's never overwritten -- a difficult balance to maintain, impossible for most writers." -- Eumaeus Jones, Ph.D. A psychedelic and picaresque romp through philosophy, jazz, and a plausible end-of-the-world scenario, this tight novella spins interwoven story-lines, draws you down corkscrewing rabbit holes, lifts you back to open air -- and finally catapults you (along with "Dean the saxophone player") into realms strange and alluring. In a flamboyant yet succinct style recalling the crisp turns of T.C. Boyle, supercharged with a whiff of Vonnegut, and a distant cousin to the crisply exact comic articulation of Flann O'Brien ( - merely comparisons for reader orientation, not claims of literary peerage - ) the reader is in for a high octane and entertaining trip. Greatly compressed, it packs the punch of an entire novel into the M-80 cylinder of a short novella. For readers lacking time (and that is all of us), this quick in-and-out literary head-trip may be just the thing. Excerpt: Brother Mark, standing on the parapet, saw the masses surge up the hill and smash themselves like the sea against the foot of the cliffs. In them he saw, across over a thousand years, the Vikings sacking the rocky outposts of Ireland, greasy and stinking, gorged on meat and the plunder of Irish hamlets. In their ships huddled captive girls in thrall for the long northern haul across kraken-swirled waters to womanless Iceland.>The monks were hard men but poor warriors; half-mad from the rain and half-blind from copying in the dim light of candles, they were no match for the Norsemen. They perceived the intruders to be a riot of evil set loose in the world to be tamed by prayer or perhaps appeased by offerings of boiled fish and chives. The Vikings swatted away their frugal bowls and split the godly men from skull to pelvis with their battle axes. Brother Mark watched as the marauders scaled the monastery walls, broke through the gates, and infiltrated the cloister. Nothing had changed in over a thousand years: it was still the same uneven match between good and evil. The earth had circled the sun for a human eternity, describing its orbit through the ebony void; empires had risen and fallen; forty generations had been begotten and forgotten, and here was Brother Mark on the spume-soaked skellig, hearing the awful din of voices and clashing metal, the tramping of boots and promise of mayhem. "Get a load of Scarface here.">------ Also see "Look Inside" feature for the opening pages. Contains bonus story, "Drew's War: A Vietnam Tale." ("Like Apocalypse Now on nitrous oxide and psilosybin." -- Green Room, Surf Zine) Praise for Ted Cleary's novella, Song of the Cicada ("Flushing Araby"): "The prose has a wildness and lushness reminiscent of the Joyce of Ulysses, or maybe Flann O'Brien or Rushdie ... Phantasmagoric." -- Matthew Wikander, Distinguished Prof. Emeritus of English, Univ. of Toledo "Marvelous. A gem on every page. The Kama Sutra sequence is a gasping fictional moment." -- Michael Seidel, Prof. Emeritus of English, Columbia University; author of James Joyce: A Short Introduction.

Percy is a music-loving, mischievous cat who lives with the vicar of St. Dunstan's church in the English village of Tunminster. Percy loves music more than anything.

One day, while exploring the choir loft, he finds a harp and a pouch with old sheets of music with the name Edward Elgar, the famous English composer, on it. Percy doesn't know why everyone is so excited about the sheet music, he's just happy he's not in trouble for a change. Even better, his discovery may help pay for repairs on the church roof so he doesn't get wet when it rains. Percy, the Cat Who Loves Music is a delightful tale for musicians and animal lovers of all ages. Calistoga Cat Action Team (CCat) of Napa/Sonoma receives a donation from the sale of each copy of Percy, the Cat Who Loves Music.

EROS di Manuela MontemezzaniIL NUOVO LIBRO DI POESIE E RIFLESSIONI DI MANUELA MONTEMEZZANI Dice l'autrice nella prefazione del libro: "Ho voluto fortemente questo libro perché ho sempre visto il mondo ipocrita prendere posizione su certi argomenti, a volte additando le persone "diverse" per ignoranza o paura; invece, con queste poesie ho raggruppato tutta la diversità in umanità, in amore, in semplice scelta sessuale; adoro le persone che sono semplicemente se stesse: un individuo felice non disturba nessuno, anzi, vive la propria vita e la propria sessualità con serenità. La gente frustrata odia perché deve nascondere la sua vera natura e in questo modo rovina la propria vita e quella del prossimo. Una donna o un uomo che si sposano e non sono felici perché non sono pienamente se stessi, che marito o che moglie saranno? Molte persone, che si autodefiniscono eterosessuali, rovinano la vita alle proprie compagne o ai propri compagni perché non decidono di farsi aiutare per risolvere i propri problemi sessuali; ma di questo se ne parla poco o niente. Parla senza sapere, o senza capire, la gente che ancora oggi ha paura del "diverso". Con questo libro so che farò sparlare proprio quei curiosi che sicuramente si chiederanno se sono lesbica. La mia risposta è 'anche se fosse, a voi cosa cambia?'. Nessuno deve rendere conto a nessuno di chi ama e di chi si porta a letto; nessuno giudichi nessuno. Cosa direste, voi, degli uomini sposati che vanno a prostitute? E degli uomini o delle donne sposate che tradiscono, o peggio, degli uomini che mentono a sé stessi e vanno alla ricerca di ragazzine o, peggio ancora, picchiano e stuprano? Io non vedrei il marcio in persone che amano persone del loro stesso sesso. Chi decide cosa è normale e cosa no? Chi decide chi deve amare chi? Io posso amare un uomo e avere una forte attrazione per una donna perché la sento forte, determinata e mi fa piacere parlare con lei. Ma devono cadere i preconcetti: un uomo che ama un altro uomo deve affrontare l'omofobia della società; spesso chi ha paura dell'omosessualità è proprio chi ne sente il richiamo e teme di essere additato a "diverso" e per questo si nasconde e vive con repulsione una cosa che, alla prova dei fatti, magari, vivrebbe in modo naturale. Nessuno ghettizzi nessuno. Con questo libro voglio comunicare che non c'è diversità tra le persone, c'è solo ignoranza."

In addition, Diana soon finds herself competing in equestrian races to cope with the anxiety that pulses from within in an attempt to run from what she cannot run from.Charlemagne and Tristan are aware of the change in Diana's behavior, but Charlemagne is powerless to intervene and instead antagonizes poor Diana, while Tristan is conflicted by his own emotions, and the two instead worsen the situation. Tristan, whose own ego and buried emotions from a former trauma keep him from approaching Diana, the two are at risk of indefinitely separating themselves and going their own way.What aches poor Diana's heart? Was it the rush of the last adventure, Tristan, or is there more from her former life that she is hiding? Will Tristan overcome himself and intervene, or will he let Diana consume herself?
