The Intensive Course
How do you tell a friendly gesture from an intimate one? While on vacation with her closeted girlfriend, Anna falls for another woman, her Italian teacher. They begin a confusingly intimate friendship. One year later, Anna leaves behind the sociocultural limits of her homeland to find out once and for all if she can win the heart of the mysterious Italian beauty. She returns to Perugia for another intensive course: both in the Italian language and the exquisite agony of ambiguous female bonds. An autobiographical novel in the tradition of Audre Lorde and Jeanette Winterson, The Intensive Course is a story of claiming self and desire amid multiple taboos. For those who came of age between Stonewall and Love is Love, for anyone learning to be themselves in a religious culture that wants to erase them, for anyone who has wondered what happens to love unfulfilled.

Watching the World Die
During the 1980s, popular fear of World War III spurred moviemakers to produce dozens of nuclear threat films. Categories ranged from monster movies to post-apocalyptic adventures to realistic depictions of nuclear war and its immediate aftermath. Coverage of atomic angst films isn't new, but this is the first book to solely analyze 1980s nuclear threat movies as a group. Entries range from classics such as The Day After and WarGames to obscurities such as Desert Warrior and Massive Retaliation. Chronological coverage of the 121 films released between 1980 and 1990 includes production details, chapter notes, and critical commentaries.

Polish Jewish Culture Beyond the Capital
Polish Jewish Culture beyond the Capital: Centering the Periphery is a path-breaking exploration of the diversity and vitality of urban Jewish identity and culture in Polish lands from the second half of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of the Second World War (1899–1939). In this multidisciplinary essay collection, a cohort of international scholars provides an integrated history of the arts and humanities in Poland by illuminating the complex roles Jews in urban centers other than Warsaw played in the creation of Polish and Polish Jewish culture. Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature, film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music. They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery—from Lwów and Wilno to Kraków and Łódź—and international centers like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within urban European cultures.
