One Story, Thirty Stories
Since 9/11 there has been a cultural and political blossoming among those of the Afghan diaspora, especially in the United States, revealing a vibrant, active, and intellectual Afghan American community.

Entre dioses y monstruos
Es verdad que el cine se parece a un espejo, y que lo que la pantalla recibe del proyector no es más que un juego de fulgores y destellos, pero la luz que se le devuelve a cada espectador es otra muy distinta porque pasa por el riguroso filtro de sus sueños, y probablemente no hay nada más verdadero que eso. Pero al otro lado del espejo está lo que no vemos, la carne y el hueso de esas sombras que llamamos estrellas de cine, las que se pasean por los festivales como si fueran personas de verdad con las que poder charlar y hasta comer una paella, o incluso emborracharse, para mostrarse al final tal cual son, sin peluquería ni maquillaje: los dioses y los monstruos de la historia del cine...
Who Was Who on TV
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
