"This Ghastly War"
During World War I, Dr. Mary M. Crawford spent nearly a year volunteering at the American Ambulance Hospital in France. Among the first American physicians to join the Allied war effort in 1914, she was the only woman doctor on the hospital staff. Her diary and letters, presented here with historical context, narrate day-to-day life in a hospital on the Western Front, with clinical descriptions of the human toll at the battles of Ypres and Champagne. Torn between devotion to family and her commitment to the war effort, Crawford reveals her dedication to her patients, many of whom were French colonial soldiers.

An Eclectic Mix
This is indeed an eclectic mix: 13 stories with different tones, hues, purposes and characters. A bildungsroman in which a young man confronts some monumental truths about himself, a re-imagined history in which an Aboriginal youth with a gift for clairvoyance makes the ultimate sacrifice, a series of linked tales where questions are asked about just what makes someone crazy, and a sci -fi'ish piece where the camera narrates an account of a future reality show hosting an execution of mass murderer that goes wrong. There's even a semi-autobiographical tale of a fisherman who risks freezing to retrieve a lure (it's a matter of principle). Something for everyone, we hope.
