All My Tomorrows
No experience is worse than being a parent who has suffered the death of a child. It's so horrible that the English language doesn't have a word for it. Chris Gregory, a nineteen-year-old Freshman at Loyola University New Orleans, had a girlfriend. He was rushing a fraternity and although he had had a rough first semester, he told his parents he was certain he was finally getting "this college thing right." One night during a casual after-dinner conversation about driver's licenses, Chris's parents learned that he had opted to become an organ donor. "What am I going to do with my organs after I'm dead? And besides," he added with a grin, "who wouldn't want this body?" Life's funny. One day, ...
Be Seeing You--
Drawing together aspects of media studies, cultural studies, film studies, structuralism, mythology, literary criticism, feminism, and social commentary, this book examines the position of ""The Prisoner as a television classic. Gregory argues that its allegorical depiction of a totalitarian world where technology enables the powers-that-be to control every aspect of its citizens, lives becomes more and more relevant as the years go by. Decodings of all of the series' episodes are detailed, explaining how the series broke with the usual conventions of a TV series.

Who Could Ask for More?
Who Could Ask For More is both an in-depth study of The Beatles' songs and an often oblique commentary on their life and times. Identifying the constant fear of an imminent nuclear holocaust as the spark for the huge social changes of the decade, Chris Gregory seeks to 'reclaim' The Beatles from the tendency to position them within a fake 'sixties nostalgia' industry. Combining analysis of their words and music with fictionalised sequences depicting key episodes in their career, the book provides a unique insight into an artistic and cultural phenomenon whose effects still resonate strongly many decades after the group broke up. The extraordinary evolution of their art is discussed in relation to the musical context of their day, with particular emphasis on the influence of 50s rock and roll and 60s soul music.
Crystal
Crystal loves the glittering glass palace she was named after. Yet the place stirs difficult memories of those she loved and lost. Wilf has marched all the way from Northumbria to London, desperate for work. Together they uncover a plot by fascists who plan to gather their paramilitary Blackshirts and provoke further violence. 'Crystal' is a speculative novel set among the historical upheavals of the Jarrow Hunger March, the Battle of Cable Street sparked by Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts and the burning of the Crystal Palace, all of which happened within two months of each other, at the end of 1936.
