Far from offering another study that bemoans Arab women’s repression and veiling, Anxiety of Erasure looks at Arab women writers living in the diaspora who have translated their experiences into a productive and creative force. In this book, Al-Samman articulates the therapeutic effects of revisiting forgotten histories and of activating two cultural tropes: that of the maw’udah (buried female infant) and that of Shahrazad in the process of revolutionary change. She asks what it means to develop a national, gendered consciousness from diasporic locals while staying committed to the homeland. Al-Samman presents close readings of the fiction of six prominent authors whose works span over h...
From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job—a job I’d now have to compete for even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger.

Hang on to your pages as this book is an exciting compilation of short stories, written by Jake Curley's English 11 and 12 students at SRT, with most examining how all technological progress exacts a price. Each story is distinctive, and brings to light how how these advancements can and will indeed shape our future, creating unforeseen effects whether they be good or bad.

The stories uncover the negative side of what we often take for granted, and reveal what can become of something that was meant to be used for good. You have it in your hands, our forthcoming fate. This is... THE FALL-OUT.
