Prisoner of X
The true-life and deeply satiric odyssey of a punk-rock dropout turned porn empire overlord....
Punk Elegies
Punk Elegies arrives like a chemically unstable mixture of Richard Yates and Damon Runyon. Set along Hollywood Boulevard at the birth of punk and the death of the seventies, the thirty-three melancholic, comic laments of Punk Elegies are a mesmerizing concoction of delusion and revelation. A cultural moment, a marriage, and one young man's mind and soul spiral through a series of boundless possibilities and arrive at a harrowing finality. In the end, on the spin cycle of destiny, MacDonell circles alone, naked and bewildered in the labyrinth of a pre-AIDS bathhouse inferno. The first sunrise of the rest of his life dares him to step outside.
With Good Intentions
With Good Intentions examines the joint efforts of Aboriginal people and individuals of European ancestry to counter injustice in Canada when colonization was at its height, from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. These people recognized colonial wrongs and worked together in a variety of ways to right them, but they could not stem the tide of European-based exploitation. The book is neither an apologist text nor an attempt to argue that some colonizers were simply "well intentioned." Almost all those considered here -- teachers, lawyers, missionaries, activists -- had as their overall goal the Christianization and civilization of Canada's First Peoples. By discussing examples of Euro-Canadians who worked with Aboriginal peoples, With Good Intentions brings to light some of the lesser-known complexities of colonization.
The People of Glengarry
McLean works in the manuscript division of the National Archives of Canada, and draws extensively on unpublished sources to present a new interpretation of Scottish migration to Canada. Showing how the traditional clan society in western Inverness was disrupted by capitalism, she documents the emigration of nine coherent groups and their attempts to recreate Highland culture in Glengarry County in Ontario.

Now That I Am Gone: A Memoir Beyond Recall
Do you ever look forward to what life will be like once you are dead? Functioning as a double-rainbow bridge connecting the ordinary now with the stack of memories that create the past and the netherworld ahead,Now That I Am Gone is the memoir of an everyman's existence as it goes on without him. His wife, his friends, his dogs, they all navigate to fill in the empty spaces he has left behind. As his ashes cool, old rivals and older paramours swoop in to claim his spoils. His life has flashed before his eyes. His regrets, what he will miss, what he is happy to leave behind, all the ways he had been hoping to depart--all of this and more he has confessed. The only chapter left is to reveal what happens to him in the place he goes once he is gone, and that hidden knowledge is exactly what comes next.
