Covet The Oven
This book of new stories by novelist and short story writer Jerome Mandel tells tales of the head, the heart, and writing - some gritty, some witty, some smooth. With intelligence, sympathy, and a wry, often comic irony, they address loss and love, puzzlement and growing old, choices. In these stories cars break down, people make surprising announcements or do unexpected things. They die or don't or can't or sell metaphors. Some people fall in love, misplace love, lose love. Some survive and thrive; others don't. We learn more about them than they do. "Jerome Mandel is an excellent writer. He brings to his stories deep compassion, emotional understanding, blended with scholarship and refinement." -Leslie Blanchard, Writer's Choice-
Roots in the Air
Anglophone Israeli Literature comprises a loose community of more than 500 authors and it has co-existed with the Hebrew writing tradition in Israel since the 1970s. Consisting mainly of immigrants from Anglophone countries, Anglophone Israeli Literature is characterized by a search for personal and poetic identity in a highly transcultural environment, challenging settled identities and opting instead for flexibility, flux and inclusion. The present volume considers Anglophone Israeli Literature a a phenomenon in its critical, social and historical aspects on the one hand and explores the specific mechanisms of constructing and representing poetic identity on the other hand. The book analyzes three pivotal elements of identity: language, geography and place, and political and emotional self-positioning towards the Other.

Into the Rising Sun
In his award-winning book Beyond Valor, Patrick O’Donnell reveals the true nature of the European Theater in World War II, as told by those who survived. Now, with Into the Rising Sun, O’Donnell tells the story of the brutal Pacific War, based on hundreds of interviews spanning a decade. The men who fought their way across the Pacific during World War II had to possess something more than just courage. They faced a cruel, fanatical enemy in the Japanese, an enemy willing to use anything for victory, from kamikaze flights to human-guided torpedoes. Over the course of the war, Marines, paratroopers, and rangers spearheaded D-Day–sized beach assaults, encountered cannibalism, suffered fri...
The Body and the Soul in Medieval Literature
The theme of the body-and-soul relationship in medieval texts and in modern reworkings of medieval matter is explored in the articles here, specifically the representation of the body in romance; the relevance of bawdy tales to the cultural experience of authors and readers in the middle ages; the function of despair, or melancholy, in medieval and Renaissance literature; and the political significance of late medieval representations of `bodies' in the chroniclers' accounts of the Rising and in Gower's poems. Two articles are devoted to modern retellings of medieval themes: John Foxe's 'Acts and Monuments', seen in relation to the traditional 'acta martyrum', and the medieval revival in Tory Britain exemplified in Douglas Oliver's 'The Infant and the Pearl'.
