La gente ha sempre guardato a noi come a mocciosi viziati. Io, Alsisia, Strevj. Nessuno saprà mai la verità. Non abbiamo combattuto gli omicidi, le menzogne, il male. Anzi. Ce ne siamo lasciati annettere, e questa è la colpa che ancora oggi scontiamo. Non siamo bambini innocenti. Nessuno di noi. Abbiamo vissuto lo strazio di una guerra che ci ha disgregati negli affetti più cari e che ha rovesciato i nostri ideali e le nostre più profonde certezze. Abbiamo pagato un prezzo altissimo, abbiamo operato scelto che ci hanno lacerato il cuore, abbiamo assistito alla morte degli amici, talvolta l'abbiamo causata; se non altro, siamo rimasti a guardare. Siamo ancora in piedi. Noi, i furbi sopra...
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio introduces Evelyn Ryan, an enterprising woman who kept poverty at bay with wit, poetry, and perfect prose during the "contest era" of the 1950s and 1960s. Stepping back into a time when fledgling advertising agencies were active partners with consumers, and everyday people saw possibility in every coupon, Terry Ryan tells how her mother kept the family afloat by writing jingles and contest entries.

In 1996 physicist Alan Sokal published an essay in Social Text--an influential academic journal of cultural studies--touting the deep similarities between quantum gravitational theory and postmodern philosophy. Soon thereafter, the essay was revealed as a brilliant parody, a catalog of nonsense written in the cutting-edge but impenetrable lingo of postmodern theorists. The event sparked a furious debate in academic circles and made the headlines of newspapers in the U.S. and abroad. In Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science, Sokal and his fellow physicist Jean Bricmont expand from where the hoax left off. In a delightfully witty and clear voice, the two thoughtfully and thoroughly dismantle the pseudo-scientific writings of some of the most fashionable French and American intellectuals. More generally, they challenge the widespread notion that scientific theories are mere "narrations" or social constructions.
