Dadless
"I'd like to take you on a journey through time and place. We'll begin in an early 1970s seaside corner of Great Britain, and join a mixed-race kid with a 'dad shaped gap' on a search for identity. You'll step into the ragged beauty, light and shade of a painter's life, the paradoxical world of Martial Arts, love, loss and hedonism of the 90s, and a star- crossed musical voyage in a 21st century Blake's 'London'. On we'll go, to a final reckoning, then home, for tea. Is that a yes? Good...hold tight!"-Andy Onyx. The tales are streaked with humour, heartbreak, anger, pain and joy. All seen through the prism of social upheaval and changing soundtrack over four decades, amidst the creative luminaries of Paul Weller, the Style Council and Primal Scream.The events and perspectives of dadless are also an apt and timely reference point for progress on the current issues of race, identity, mental health, and most importantly redemption facing Great Britain and it's youth today.

Worlds So Strange and Diverse
This book represents an analysis of contemporary fantasy (non-mimetic) literature in all its richness and diversity, and offers a preliminary definition of the major fields of taxonomical interest, in addition to marking some of the unmapped territories of “fantastic” fiction. In its first part, the book presents an overview of all major previous theoretical discussions of the issue, particularly those by Tzvetan Todorov, Rosemary Jackson, Darko Suvin, Brian Attebery, Marek Oziewicz and Farah Mendlesohn. The second part of the book provides an interesting comprehensive taxonomy of its own, based on the notion of supragenological types of literature, first introduced by Andrzej Zgorzelski.
