Takashi Homma: Tokyo and My Daughter
This short and sweet--and astonishingly beautiful--book of photographs by the Tokyo-born and based Takashi Homma features 32 color images, primarily of the artist's daughter, although there are also some cityscapes and interiors that round out the story with perfect pitch. Homma offers an extremely well calibrated selection of images of his daughter from her first months to about age six: we see her sitting in her high chair; at a picnic; peeking through the car window; and taking some pictures of her own. Luminous, loving and relaxed, these portraits welcome the reader into the artist's inner world without giving anything away. "Tokyo and My Daughter," featuring one of the best family dog pictures ever, is published in the same series as Nieves' "Kim Gordon: Chronicles Vol.1, Mike Mills: Humans," and "Yukari Miyagi: Rabbit & Turtle." Homma has published his work in many international magazines and exhibited worldwide.

Bloodline
When twins Phoenix and Kale discover that they are not human, as they previously believed, but rather that they are a hybrid mix of the malevolent races of vampires and werewolves, they are thrust into a dangerous world of murderous uncles, strange family friends, and power they never knew they had. It is up to them to settle the feud dividing their ancestors by any means necessary.
Flaubert's Straight and Suspect Saints
Israel Pelletier argues that "Trois contes" demands a different kind of reading which distinguishes it from "Madame Bovary" and other Flaubert texts. By the time he wrote this late work, Flaubert's attitude toward his characters and the role of fiction had changed to accommodate different social, political, and literary pressures. He constructed two opposing levels of meaning for each of the stories, straight and ironic, which produced a more fruitful way of addressing some of his concerns and assumptions about langauge and illusion. Included in this study are a provocative feminist reading of "Un Coeur," an assessment of "Saint Julien" as Flaubert's attempt to come to terms with his originality as a writer, and an interpretation of "Herodias" as an autobiography of the writing process.

The project disrupts the carefully-maintained social order of the world, and presents the country an opportunity to make everyone truly equal. Richly thought-provoking and meticulously crafted, Giftless offers an honest confrontation with the future that has been long overdue.
