The celebration of Washington D.C. basketball is long overdue. The
D.C. metro area stands second to none in its contributions to the
game. Countless figures who have had a significant impact on the
sport over the years have roots in the region, including E.B.
Henderson, the first African-American certified to teach public
school physical education, and Earl Lloyd, the first
African-American to take the court in an actual NBA game. The
city's Spingarn High School produced two players - Elgin Baylor and
Dave Bing - recognized among the NBA's 50 greatest at the League's
50th anniversary celebration. No other high school in the country
can make that claim.These figures and many others are chronicled in
this book, the first-ever comprehensive look at the great high
school players, teams and coaches in the D.C. metropolitan area.
Based on more than 150 interviews, The Capital of Basketball is
first and foremost a book about basketball. But in discussing the
trends and evolution of the game, McNamara also uncovers the
turmoil in the lives of the players and area residents as they
dealt with prejudice, educational inequities, politics, and the
ways the area has changed through the years.
As the author of more than two dozen novels and hundreds of short
stories, as well as essays, reviews, and columns, Ramsey Campbell
is one of the most prolific writers in the field of horror
literature. The consistently high level of quality in his work has
resulted in every major award that weird fiction has to offer,
including the Grand Master Award of the World Horror Convention,
the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Horror Writers Association,
and the Living Legend Award of the International Horror Guild.
Strangely, though, relatively little criticism has been written
about Campbell. In Ramsey Campbell: Critical Essays on the Modern
Master of Horror, Gary William Crawford has assembled a collection
of articles that examine the work of one of weird fiction's most
revered writers. These essays looks at a number of elements that
characterize Campbell's stories and novels, including comparisons
to H.P. Lovecraft, who was an early inspiration; Campbell's modern
variations of Gothic fiction; his concept of evil; religious
subtext in his fiction; and how adversities Campbell has faced have
shaped his life and his work. In all, these essays pay homage to
Campbell's painstaking craftsmanship and show that there is much to
be mined in his fiction. Because Campbell is so important in the
genre of horror literature, this book serves as a much needed
affirmation of his work. It will be of interest to scholars of
supernatural fiction in general, but also to devoted fans of this
major figure in weird fiction.

Leonardo da Vinci has been commissioned to create a mural of The
Last Supper and it is his first attempt at painting in ten years.
He fears he has lost his artistic vision by squandering his gifts.
An angel/muse inspires him to invoke the Apostles and ultimately
their last meal with Jesus. By discovering what each individual was
thinking and feeling at the moment of crisis, Leonardo confronts
his own betrayal and learns that through love and faith he can
rediscover the vision of divine inspiration and the purpose of
life.

The Hermaphrodite (Paperback)

Written in the 1840s and published here for the first time, Julia
Ward Howe's novel about a hermaphrodite is unlike anything of its
time--or, in truth, of our own. Narrated by Laurence, who is raised
and lives as a man and is loved by men and women alike, yet can
respond to neither, this unconventional story explores the
realization "that fervent hearts must borrow the disguise of art,
if they would win the right to express, in any outward form, the
internal fire that consumes them." Laurence describes his
repudiation by his family, his involvement with an attractive
widow, his subsequent wanderings and eventual attachment to a
sixteen-year-old boy, his own tutelage by a Roman nobleman and his
sisters, and his ultimate reunion with his early love. His is a
story unique in nineteenth-century American letters, at once a
remarkable reflection of a largely hidden inner life and a richly
imagined tale of coming-of-age at odds with one's culture.
