Chrystal and Cashmere
Cashmere Dee Crawford was born in Kentucky and lived in New York City. At an early age, she was a very successful roller-skating champion until a car accident ended her career at fourteen years old. There was a painful and long rehabilitation period following, and she never completely recovered. It was not until four years later after graduating from high school that she decided to take a road trip and met a part-time model and waitress named Chrystal Lea Stevens who had also been a skating champion when younger. The two quickly bonded, and Chrystal decided to chase the gold again after a five-year hiatus--with Cashmere as her coach. They were astonished at how intrinsically difficult life could be when adulthood supervened. Together through hardships and joy, they pursued their dreams, which ended completely different from what they expected.
Little Number One
Fourteen-year-old Sharon Renae Daniels falls in love with Jimmy Lee Lane, the leader of an up-and-coming rock band. Sharon is new to the Charleston, West Virginia, area after moving from Cedar Bluff, North Carolina. She is still making new friends when she happens to see the Jimmy Lane Band in concert at their high school. Jimmy notices her as well in the crowded lunchroom. It takes weeks, however, for them to actually meet in person due to previous obligations, pride, and bad timing. First they become friends, then soon begin dating. Everything is fine for a while, but Sharon has to deal with the emptiness of missing home, and Jimmy oftentimes puts the band before his girlfriend. Once they realize their true love for each other and mature to the point of a stable relationship, it is already too late for resolution. Immaturity and inexperience cause chaos, which leads to bad habits, missed opportunities, poor decisions, and recklessness--only complicating their already-dire situation.
Vulgar Tongues
Slang is the language of pop culture, low culture, street culture, underground movements and secret societies; depending on your point of view, it is a badge of honour, a sign of identity or a dangerous assault on the values of polite society. Over several centuries and across international borders, VULGAR TONGUES is the story of how the English language of Shakespeare's day fragmented and twisted into all kinds of shapes, as people like pickpockets, beggars, sailors, musicians, gangsters, whores, politicians, gypsies, soldiers, gays and lesbians, policemen, rappers, cockneys, biker gangs and circus folk seized the King's or Queen's English by the throat and took it to places it would probably regret in the morning.
Suffering Sappho!
An ever-expanding and panicked Wonder Woman lurches through a city skyline begging Steve to stop her. A twisted queen of sorority row crashes her convertible trying to escape her queer shame. A suave butch emcee introduces the sequined and feathered stars of the era’s most celebrated drag revue. For an unsettled and retrenching postwar America, these startling figures betrayed the failure of promised consensus and appeasing conformity. They could also be cruel, painful, and disciplinary jokes. It turns out that an obsession with managing gender and female sexuality after the war would hardly contain them. On the contrary, it spread their campy manifestations throughout mainstream culture. ...

Visible
Visible: A Femmethology, the only two-volume anthology devoted to femme identity, calls the LGBTQI community on its prejudices and celebrates the diversity of individual femmes. Award-winning authors, spoken-word artists, and new voices come together to challenge conventional ideas of how disability, class, nationality, race, aesthetics, sexual orientation, gender identity and body type intersect with each contributor's concrete notion of femmedom.
Alfred Hitchcock
This collection of essays displays the range and breadth of Hitchcock scholarship and assesses the significance of his body of work as a bridge between the fin de siecle culture of the 19th century and the 20th century. It engages with Hitchcock's characteristic formal and aesthetic preoccupations.
He Rode with Butch and Sundance
The definitive biography of infamous western outlaw Harvey Alexander Logan, better known as Kid Curry. A violent conflict with a ranching neighbor in Montana caused him to flee to the Hole-in-the-Wall valley in Wyoming, where he became involved in rustling and eventually graduated to bank and train robbing as a member of the Wild Bunch. This outlaw group was a melding of the best of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang and Butch Cassidy's Powder Springs gang. Smokov shows that Curry was not the bloodthirsty killer that many have claimed. He contends that Curry was the actual train robbing leader of the Wild Bunch.
