The Scrolls of Nef
Gary Glickman, author of Years From Now and Aura, and twice the recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts fellowship, has written an epic novel of heart set in the mythic island of Nef, a land of peaceful people being overtaken by a fundamentalist regime. Who are the Godlians, and why are they trying to conquer the world? When Godlian clerics began secretly burning the treasured remains of the ancient library of Nef, both the young and the old must do their part to save the only records of the old wisdom. The old king's brother, master translator of the scrolls, must teach his dream-reader great-nephew whatever skills he can absorb; the orphaned daughter of a priestess must use her prize-winning gifts as a singer to rally an exiled people; and a young warrior prince must learn from an abbey of fugitive witches enough wisdom to create and lead a rebellion.
Aura
"Aura follows the precarious journey of five close friends as they attempt to find fame in The Big Apple starting in the mid-seventies. Each is certain that they all will achieve recognition-whether in writing, painting, or acting-and they support one another in their endeavors. Yet, relationships remain tumultuous as their needs and desires change with the passing decades. Where will they be in 20 years? Will they succeed in their quests? This compelling story of love, romance, betrayal, and violence reflects the turmoil of the times!"
A Long Bridge Over Deep Waters
"A Long Bridge Over Deep Waters passionately and compassionately wrestles with the question: "How does faith both unite and divide us?" and explores the often invisibility of faith, how we make unconscious assumptions about one other based on religion, and how often those assumptions are wrong. Inspired by oral histories, community events, and the circular structure of Schnitzler's play La Ronde, the play's 10 scenes include a Native American woman who teaches ESL to a class of immigrant senior citizens; two astronauts in crisis far away from home and searching for common ground; a man who meets the woman who received his mother's transplanted heart; and a journalist who interviews a family whose son has been killed in Iraq. A Long Bridge Over Deep Waters traces a joyous, restless and surprising path through a wide-open spiritual and American landscape. It is both intimate and epic--an expansive panorama that stages an interlocking chain of unexpected encounters between contemporary communities of faith. This play was the final play in Los Angeles-based Cornerstone Theater Company's nationally acclaimed four-year Faith Based Theater Cycle." -- Publisher's website.

NEA Literature Fellowships
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Literature Fellowship Program has helped new writers find their voices and established authors continue their work. Some of the early grants went to writers whose work is now a permanent part of America¿s literary legacy, such as Gwendolyn Brooks, Isaac Bashevis Singer, John Berryman, Denise Levertov, Robert Penn Warren, and Eudora Welty. The NEA Fellowships have also recognized many writers before their talents were acknowledged by a wider audience, such as Alice Walker, Tobias Wolff, and Maxine Hong Kingston. This publication, issued in the 40th year of NEA¿s existence, celebrates the history of the NEA Literature Fellowship Program. Photos.
Making Government Work
This report, published in its entirety (OTA-TCT-578) and in a summary form (OTA-TCT-579) containing only the first chapter of the complete report, focuses on key topics and issues that are central to the successful use of electronic delivery by government. The review conducted by the Office of Technology Assessment concludes that the movement toward electronic delivery of government services is accelerating, but that many factors must be considered. The greatest risks of electronic delivery are overlooking the human element and users' needs, which would further widen the gap between the technologically literate and the technologically illiterate, and failing to capitalize on all the opportun...
Contemporary Gay American Novelists
Publication of this sourcebook on important gay American fiction writers grants legitimacy and recognition to this rapidly emerging area of literary studies. Though wary of canon-formation in this groundbreaking work, editor Nelson has selected fifty-seven writers whose works have received serious critical acclaim and/or have won large audiences or, in a few cases, are worthy of greater attention. Included are representative writers of detective fiction and science fiction, but not authors of erotic fiction or pulp novels. Also excluded are a few novelists whose expressed wishes for privacy were respected. Writers and their works are examined in the gay literary context, and a majority of th...
