Anri Sala
Anri Sala is one of the most gifted and accomplished visual artists of his generation. Michael Fried first encountered Sala's video, film and installation art in 2005 and has been following his work since. This collection of essays focuses on what Fried identifies as a few major and recurring themes in Sala's work, such as the treatment of absorption and the overarching issues of anti-theatricality and presentness. Throughout the book, which is illustrated with numerous colour stills from Anri Sala's videos, Fried pursues a highly personal approach of combining extremely fine-grained structural and thematic readings of individual works with philosophical and theoretical reflections often dra...

Stare at Me
Joey Mullaney was only thirteen years old when he found out he was dying. A rare degenerative disease would rob him of his ability to play sports. It would slur his speech and crash his confidence. It would even confine him to a motorized scooter as a teenager. In this true story about his life so far, Joey reveals how he came to terms with the unthinkable. Teens and young adults will see pieces of themselves and their experiences in Joey's journey of acceptance. And they'll laugh along with Joey as he stutters and stumbles his way to discovering his true identity and finding his place in the world. Stare at Me is more than an inspirational memoir. It's the voice of a trusted friend that empowers every reader -- the geek, the misfit, the introvert, the class president, the jock -- to stare down whatever faces them and say, "I got this."

Het Stravinsky-spel
Een historische roman over vriendschap en moed, liefde en troost in tijden van ontbering. ‘Hoever ben je bereid te gaan om iets voor een ander te betekenen?’ Dit is de kern van het spel dat twee pubers, Susan Sontag en Cody Garner, eind jaren 40 bedenken na een ontmoeting met de componist Stravinsky. De inzet is dan nog kinderlijk vrijblijvend, maar de vraag blijft hen levenslang bezighouden. Decennia later arriveert Cody in het belegerde Sarajevo, waar Susan een toneelstuk regisseert. In die vervreemdende oorlogssituatie komen herinneringen boven aan hun jeugd in Hollywood, hun gezamenlijke eerste schreden in de liefde en hun bezoek aan Thomas Mann, maar ook aan het New York van de jaren 80, wanneer Susan het intellectuele en artistieke geweten van Amerika is geworden. Geconfronteerd met het dagelijks leven en lijden van de Bosnische acteurs leren de twee jeugdvrienden hun eigen beperkingen onder ogen te zien. Dan dringt zich de vraag op: waarmee hebben wij nu het meest voor anderen betekend en wie wint uiteindelijk het Stravinsky-spel? ‘Het gebeurt niet elke dag dat wij nodig zijn.’

Salvation on Death Row
"Some true stories move us. Pamela's story changes us." - Dale S.Recinella, Chaplain for Florida's Death Row and author of Now I Walk on Death Row Pamela Perillo was set to die on March 24, 1996.
