Beginning with a story of an ex sex-worker drifting through a rural
town in South America, and ending with a young woman's sinister
wedding night, Nash writes across the complications of working
class women, rendering their desires with visceral prose and
psychologically dissecting the fundamental root that threads her
work: craving and the conflicts within.

Anderkant omdraai is 'n versameling van Jan van Tonder se rubrieke
wat in Rapport Tydskrif verskyn het. Kort-kortverhale, essays,
sketse en anekdotes wissel mekaar af en bied 'n vermaaklike
leeservaring. Die leser van die rubrieke kan verwag om te lag en om
geroer te word. Van Tonder skryf oortuigend oor die nostalgie van
vroeer, en jukstaponeer dit met aktuele sake van vandag. Van Tonder
slaag weereens daarin om lewenswaarhede op 'n ongeforseerde en
verrassende vars manier oor te dra.
In these short stories, Jack D. Forbes captures the remarkable
breadth and variety of American Indian life. Drawing on his skills
as scholar and native activist, and, above all, as artist, Forbes
enlarges our sense of how American Indians experience themselves
and the world around them.
Though all the main characters are of Indian descent, each is a
unique combination of tribal origin, social status, age, and
life-style-from native elder and college professor to lesbian
barmaid and Chicano adolescent. Nevertheless the U.S. government
(and perhaps white society as a whole) narrows the definition of
"Indian."
A compelling set of short stories from the author of World War I
classic, All Quiet on the Western Front German-American novelist
Erich Maria Remarque captured the emotional anguish of a generation
in his World War I masterpiece, All Quiet on the Western Front, as
well as in an impressive selection of novels, plays, and short
stories. This exquisite collection revives Remarque's unforgettable
voice, presenting a series of short stories that have long ago
faded from public memory. From the haunting description of an
abandoned battlefield to the pain of losing a loved one in the war
to soldiers' struggles with what we now recognize as PTSD, the
stories offer an unflinching glimpse into the physical, emotional,
and even spiritual implications of World War I. In this collection,
we follow the trials of naive war widow Annette Stoll, reflect on
the power of small acts of kindness toward a dying soldier, and
join Johann Bartok, a weary prisoner of war, in his struggle to
reunite with his wife. Although a century has passed since the end
of the Great War, Remarque's writing offers a timeless reflection
on the many costs of war. Eight Stories offers a beautiful tribute
to the pain that war inflicts on soldiers and civilians alike, and
resurrects the work of a master author whose legacy - like the war
itself - will endure for generations to come.
