Genre Studies in Mass Media
The study of various types of programming is essential for critical analysis of the media and also offers revealing perspectives on society's cultural values, preoccupations, behavior, and myths. This handbook provides a systematic, in-depth approach to the study of media genres - including reality programs, game shows, situation comedies, soap operas, film noir, news programs, and more.

Innovative Practices in Creative Writing Teaching
Associated with creativity, originality, newness and invention, innovation is a frequent component of creative writing. However, how, where and when does innovation occur in creative writing teaching? The writing arts combine common, established aspects of communicating through the written word with elements of originality that extend or challenge how written language is used. Different forms, genre and styles of creative writing stay close to or move further away from the writing mainstream. What about creative writing teaching—are there different levels or types of innovation? Exploring such innovation, this volume gathers together contributors whose teaching stories provide direction, stimulus and much encouragement for those seeking to innovate in how creative writing is taught and therefore, ultimately, how it is learnt.
Every Wickedness
Deadly and devious, the Spiderman has the whole of San Francisco at his mercy, gripped in a terrible fear. It seems as though no woman is safe as he entices, traps and then bleeds his victims dry. Beth Wells, a talented designer whose roommate has been killed by the Spiderman, must deal with not only her mounting suspicions about the identity of the killer, but also a series of threatening letters. Though she doesn't know it yet, she may have unwittingly become the Spiderman's next target. Beth's friend Jim Kearns is the head of the investigation into the killings. Obsessed by the case but unable to save the growing number of victims, Kearns struggles with his own private demons. Vasas-Brown skilfully brings San Francisco to life, conveying the rising media hysteria that leads everyone to believe the spiderman is a monster. It's up to Kearns to convince them that the killer is just a man. A man capable of being caught. A man capable of every wickedness.
Against Creative Writing
The rise of Creative Writing has been accompanied from the start by two questions: can it be taught, and should it be taught? This scepticism is sometimes shared even by those who teach it, who often find themselves split between two contradictory identities: the artistic and the academic. Against Creative Writing explores the difference between ‘writing’, which is what writers do, and Creative Writing, which is the instrumentalisation of what writers do. Beginning with the question of whether writing can or ought to be taught, it looks in turn at the justifications for BA, MA, and PhD courses, and concludes with the divided role of the writer who teaches. It argues in favour of Creative...

Like Wings, Your Hands
This award-winning novel by the author of A Map of Everything explores the relationship between an immigrant mother, her disabled son, and her father Kalina, born in Bulgaria and now living in Boston, has always been a spiritual seeker. Her fourteen-year-old son, Marko, who has spina bifida and is partially paralyzed, shares her curiosity about larger metaphysical questions, but also has his own unique perspective on life: Marko perceives numbers as having colors, shapes, and textures—and they’re linked to emotions: embarrassment, for example, is fourteen; satisfaction is sixty-seven. Kalina is determined to respect her son’s dignity and privacy as he embarks on the new terrain of adol...
