A Native of Nowhere: The Life of Nat Nakasa tells the story of how
a quiet, serious African boy growing up in the sleepy coastal city
of Durban in the 1940s became part of the generation of outspoken
black South African journalists in the 1950s and 1960s who
challenged state-sponsored segregation in that way that only
writers can, simply by keeping a detailed record of its existence.
In doing so, this story provides an alternative way of thinking
about early resistance to apartheid, loosing it from the bonds of
the organised opposition movement. For a man like Nat, freedom was
not the end point of a long struggle arching toward justice. Rather
it was something you took for yourself, day in and day out - one
conversation, one interview, one multiracial party at a time. Born
Nathaniel Ndazana Nakasa on May 12, 1937 like many South Africans
of his generation, leaving his homeland was not simply a matter of
deciding to go. It was also a matter of deciding never to come
back. Not yet 30 years old, Nat had to look into his future and
decide that being legally barred from his homeland was a price
worth paying to see the world beyond its borders. This book tells
the story of that short life. In doing so, it seeks in part to
answer the troubling question of how Nat found himself in that New
York City window in July 1965, desperate to the point of no return.
But life, like history, cannot be read backwards, and so any
biography of Nat Nakasa must begin with the acknowledgement that he
was no simple martyr, no fallen hero of the anti-apartheid cause,
but rather an ambitious, talented and flawed man whose life had the
cold fortune of colliding with one of the most racially repressive
regimes in the modern world. Attempts to bring Nakasa’s body home
bore no fruit, and he was buried at the Ferncliff cemetery in
upstate New York. A headstone placed by the Nieman Foundation 30
years later simply reads: Nathaniel Nakasa May 12 1937 - July 14
1965. Journalist, Nieman Fellow, South African. 1038 (the tombstone
number). Many await the repatriation of Nat Nakasa’s body to South
African.

Follow us on twitter @HeirofAsgard Thor has faded. Odin has faded.
The two most powerful gods in the nine realm are gone, this has
thrown Asgard into a short chaos. The royal blood line seems to
disappear slowly everyday. As the remaining descendants of the
bloodline scatter for an heir, a servant and friend of Thor, Derek
Long has other plans. Orion, the first mortal son of Thor walks on
Midgard. Other children of the gods also reside on Middle Earth.
Under the leadership of Derek Long they will prepare for Ragnarok,
the end of the world. The forces they face are far more powerful
and ancient than they could possibly realize. Behind the leadership
of Orion, the son of Thor, they will with possibly no help at all
from the gods prepare for the end of the world. Surely they are
doomed... Or are they?
Sam Bonham--bad husband, deadbeat dad, and possible criminal on the
run from the law--wanders out of modern-day East Texas into an
ersatz Wild West boomtown created for a movie that never happened.
And when Sam strikes a blow against the gangsters who've been
terrorizing the town, the locals look to him to save them. He's no
hero, but he's stumbled upon someone who is: John Wayne. But the
John Wayne of this story is not the stalwart lawman of Hollywood
films--he's a seventy-two-year-old man who had himself
cryogenically frozen. He's weak, bald, frail...and unrecognizable
to everyone but Sam.
In The Duke's "defrosted" state, he's not entirely himself. In
fact, he believes he's actually Ethan Edwards, the character he
played in "The Searchers," one of Wayne's most beloved films. Ethan
or Duke or Marion Morrison, at his side Sam learns how to be a man,
and a hero--and a pretty good shot As he takes on the Old West gang
of thugs, he finds that he might have become a family man at last.
But back in the real world, someone has his eye on Sam's wife, and
if Sam doesn't get back soon, the results could be devastating.
Today's #1 "New York Times "bestselling thriller writers agree:
Ryan Brown's compulsively readable first novel is unbeatable--a
darkly humorous, rich and pungent zombie shocker that melds our
national obsession with football and the newest wave of fascination
with the undead.
For the first time in Killington High School history, the
Jackrabbits football team is one win away from the district
championship where it will face its most vicious rival, the Elmwood
Heights Badgers. On the way to the game, the Jackrabbits's bus
plunges into a river, killing every player except for bad-boy
quarterback Cole Logan who is certain the crash was no
accident--given that Cole himself was severely injured in a brutal
attack by three ski-masked men earlier that day. Bent on payback,
Cole turns to a mysterious fan skilled in black magic to resurrect
his teammates. But unless the undead Jackrabbits defeat their
murderous rival on the field, the team is destined for hell. In a
desperate race against time, with only his coach's clever daughter,
Savannah Hickman, to assist him, Cole must lead his zombie team to
victory
. . . in a final showdown where the stakes aren't just life or
death--but damnation or salvation. Boundlessly imaginative and
thrillingly satisfying, "Play Dead "gives small-town Texas an
electrifying jolt of the supernatural, and is unquestioningly The
Zombie Novel of the Year
The Comeback Story of the Season . . .
