Kellie's Diary #2
A series of diary entries through the eyes of a little girl as she tries to survive the end of the world. "If you wanted more to happen in the first book then you should be disturbingly elated by the end of this one. A few things happen that may haunt my imagination forever and there is a small surprise at the end that may change the direction of this story, and Kellie may be forced to grow up even faster than ever..." - Allen, Amazon review It's been almost a year since it all began, and Kellie has managed to survive against all odds. Kellie has just turned 10 and she is still alive, telling her diary "Barbie" everything she encounters. She's grown more resourceful in her time alone, and has learned to live with the dangers around her. Kellie has run low on resources, and now she is finally ready to seek out the rest of her family... if they're still alive. Along the way, she runs into many dangers - some are expected, while others are beyond anything she's ever experienced... even in her worst nightmares. (Intended for mature readers; references to disturbing events.)

Silent Interviews
Collected interviews featuring the Nebula Award–winning author and his thoughts on topics like literary criticism, comic books, race, and sexuality. For nearly three decades, Samuel R. Delany’s science fiction has transported millions of readers to the fringes of time, technology, and outer space. Now Delany surveys the realms of his own experience as a writer, critic, theorist, and gay Black man in this collection of written interviews, a type of guided essay.

Chinese Entertainment
Scholarly studies of Chinese culture, history and society, both within and outside of China, generally pay little attention to leisure, entertainment and amusement, though it has long been known that this aspect of life gives a deep understanding of the psyche and soul, and the hopes and fears, of a person. Leisure is a less coerced-upon, mandatory human conduct than work; certainly leisurely conduct is more voluntary, expressive and creative. But when seen as human behaviour, leisure and entertainment cannot be separated from history, heritage, ethnicity, the community, family and kin, rituals and customs – thus a collective activity and its constraints on the person. This book examines a variety of genre of Chinese entertainment, from singing clubs, Cantonese opera and film, to Chinese rock and tourism. Though formally voluntary, Chinese entertainment, when entangled with ethnicity, heritage and history, is ironically a site of both enjoyment and struggle, both pleasure and suffering. This book was originally published as a special issue of Visual Anthropology.
