The urban photographs of Swiss artist Beat Streuli (born 1957)
record what he calls "the glamour of the usual"--people walking the
streets in familiar states of pedestrian reverie, photographed with
professional care ("glamour") but without drama ("the usual").
"Public Work 1996-2011" surveys his large-scale installations in
public spaces.
His name is Roarke. His history is a swath of blood and violence.
Released from prison after another man dies under his fists, he's
found some semblance of peace as a private detective. Sometimes
he's hired to solve a problem. Sometimes he's hired to do something
mean. He prefers the one, but he's not above the other. When he's
hired to locate a gorgeous banking executive's missing niece,
Roarke suspects the case might be just another ugly custody fight
between the girl's parents. A single gunshot aimed his way proves
him wrong, and convinces him to give the missing girl his undivided
attention. Soon, Roarke finds himself drawn away from his Detroit
lair and into the northern wilderness where an armed militia
calling themselves the Sons of Michigan are holding the girl. Lead
by a silver-tongued preacher and a remorseless killer called the
Last Watchman, the Sons are waiting for him. They think they can
bargain with him. They think he can be reasoned with. They're
wrong.
"Out of the Closet with My Mom" is a novel aimed at helping
children and parents who are going through a time when both sides
are forced to come out due to ones' sexuality. A parent comes out
as gay and their child is forced to "come out" as a child of
homosexual parents. It's a stand alone personal narrative that
explores the many aspects of having gay parents; coming out to
friends, dealing with family members who do not accept their
parents lifestyle, being confident about yourself in school and
above all lets you know that you're not alone. The narrative
follows pudgy, prepubescent Jon Watkins, dying to fit in when his
mom decides to sit him and his sister down and tell them that her
roommate isn't a roommate at all, she is her girlfriend. "Out of
the Closet with My Mom" follows Jon's Middle and High School
journey in which he and his sister have to deal with "coming out"
about their mom to friends and family.
