Understanding Jill McCorkle
Understanding Jill McCorkle introduces readers to the novels and short story collections of Jill McCorkle's growing canon. Since 1984 McCorkle has written five novels and two books of short stories, entering the publishing world, as one reviewer noted, with the literary equivalent of a rebel yell. Filling the gap of critical study on McCorkle, Barbara Bennett analyzes the widely read and admired output of this prolific southern woman writer. Bennett identifies and discusses the diverse characters, thematic concerns and keen sense of language that distinguish McCorkle's work.

Demandes citoyennes alsaciennes - Pour une nouvelle politique linguistique et culturelle
Alors que se tiennent en Alsace les Assises de la langue et de la culture régionales, nous apportons au débat l'appel en faveur d'une charte linguistique pour l'Alsace que notre association a lancé ces derniers temps, obtenant plus de 3600 signatures de personnalités représentatives du monde politique, économique et culturel. Nous tenons également à publier des contributions livrées à l'occasion de ces mêmes Assises au sujet des politiques présentes et d'une nouvelle politique à venir, à obtenir. Une langue ne saurait vivre et survivre sans statut lui assurant une existence sociale, économique et culturelle, seul à même de la promouvoir. 6500 langues sont employées à travers le monde. Disparaissent celles qui ne bénéficient pas d'une reconnaissance officielle ou légale, nationale ou régionale. Pour bien se rendre compte de ce qu'un tel statut devrait contenir et de l'ampleur de la tâche, nous proposons un exemple de charte linguistique pour l'Alsace. Pierre Klein
Vacation People
Successful Chicago-based artist Lauren Hansen is on a layover in Las Vegas before heading to what was supposed to be the vacation of a lifetime with her partner. Until, that is, that partner became an ex. Recovering from a nasty break-up herself, workaholic Penny Rothmoor agrees to meet Lauren for dinner, but only out of a sense of obligation to her mother. One thing leads to another, and soon Penny finds herself on a plane, jetting off to meet Lauren for a week on the beautiful island of Hawaii—but strictly as friends, of course. As the bikini-clad duo relaxes and gets to know each other better, they begin to realize that there’s more to enjoy in Hawaii than just sun and sand—and that king-size bed is looking awfully inviting. What is it about the words “no strings attached” that are sure to create a tangled mess of desire, mind-blowing pleasure, and the pain of separation?
