Life's Reflections
Thousands of books have been written about World War II. Most have dealt with the War's historical aspects, strategies, or the heroism and outstanding acts of the men who did the fighting. "1945" is not about heroes. In fact, it is not about "men"; its primary characters are "boys." By 1944, every man in his twenties or thirties had already been conscripted. Subsequently, almost all draftees at this stage of the war were eighteen years of age. To put this in perspective; in today's world they would not be considered sufficiently mature to buy a can of beer or pack of cigarettes. No parent likes to see his son go to war but these were children. In January 1945, everyone knew the war didn't have long to go and just as tension mounts towards the end of a race, anxiety and impatience became people's primary reactions to the news each day. Readers of this book will gain insight of the heretofore little told and appreciated emotions of the men in the Armed Forces and their families at home: hope, fear and prayers that it all would end before something tragic happened to a loved one who had been lucky enough to survive to this point.
To be and Not to be
To Be And Not to Be is a study of the interrelated concepts interpretation, iconicity and fiction as applied to works of art in general and literary narratives in particular. Two perspectives run through the book: a semiotic one, focusing on the work of art and what it stands for - represents, expresses, alludes to, etc. - and a psychological one, focusing on the audience's interpretation of the work. The book establishes an ongoing dialogue with recent research within analytic aesthetics, narratology and other relevant fields. In particular, the philosopher Nelson Goodman's theory of symbols has proved to be fruitful in the development of new and original concept formations with respect to ...

Enquist Plays: 1
The first collection by Sweden's foremost contemporary playwright NIGHT OF THE TRIBADES (1975) centres around the triangular relationship between August Strindberg, the actress Marie Caroline David and Siri von Essen. It has been translated into twenty languages including a short run on Broadway. THE IMAGE MAKERS (1998) deals with Selma Lagerlof's father and his alcoholism whilst THE RAIN MAKERS is a fascinating study of Hans Christian Anderson. THE HOUR OF THE LYNX: "Enquist's play, feelingly translated from the Swedish offers a profound exploration of spirituality, love and faith within a text that is grippingly dramatic, unfailingly absorbing and often upliftingly lyrical." "At a time when young writers were looking for new forms of literary expression, Enquist settled for an investigative style, and attempt to reconstruct events reported to have happened, but where the truth is often too inaccessible... it was a style that was to remain Enquist's literary landmark characterising both his novels and his plays" Contemporary World Authors ed. Tracey Chevalier

And Then Came Life
David was always different from his brothers. Born and raised in the midst of South Florida's music scene, he was labeled a sissy and mocked by neighborhood boys. Introduced to Miami's gay nightlife, drugs, and reckless sexual escapades, he wonders if this is where he truly belongs, here in the arms of faceless strangers. As David wanders from one shadowy scene to another, stacking shame upon shame, he chooses to ignore the concerns of his estranged family and a mysterious, but comforting, voice. Does this heavenly voice truly care? Is David, finally plagued by disease, destroying his life forever? Based on true events, David's story is one of misadventure, selfish exploration, disappointment, and ongoing scandal, but throughout its entirety, redeeming hope...a divine hope for life's fresh beginning in a moment of surrender and choice.
