Philip Leacock directs this 1960s British film exploring a
childhood friendship threatened by a religious divide. Michael
O'Malley (Philip Needs), a young Catholic boy, and Rachel Mathias
(Loretta Parry), a young Jewish girl, become friends when the
former rescues the latter from schoolyard bullies. With both
considered outsiders in Protestant England, a strong basis exists
for a bond between the pair. However, in their innocence, Michael

that they are moving away, the pair set off on an adventure that
may well change their lives forever...

a ir: s IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 217 A SYSTEMATIC OUTLINE OF THE
REDUVIIDAE OF NORTH AMERICA. STANLEY B. FRACKEB. BIBLIOGRAPHY. The
following bibliography is intended to include only those works in
which a new contribution is made to the study of the family. I have
not had access to some, but the descriptions of all species except
those of Provancher have been quoted by Champion, Uhler or Stal and
are thus made available. These books and papers have been freely
used, especially for verification of detaiis and for localities,
credit being given in those cases where an author is wholly or
partially responsible for the characters used in keys, etc. No
attempt has been made to give a separate and complete bibliography
for each species. With each genus is given a list of the most
easily accessible and useful references. In practically all cases a
good description of all the species will be found by referring to
these works. They are mentioned by author and page. Where more than
one work is accredited to an author in the following list, they are
distinguished by (a), (b). etc. Additional information about many
of them may be obtained from the partial bibliography by Nathan

This collection of essays looks at the most recent work of Juan
Goytisolo from a variety of perspectives and critical stances. The
contributors, all specialists in the work of the Spanish author,
employ theories of intertextuality, postmodernist irony, queer
ethics and even the esoteric science of Hurufism to uncover the
complexities of Goytisolo's creative practice, in particular his
radical blurring of the generic boundaries between fiction,
autobiography and literary criticism. Such challenging of genre
conventions is seen as both integral to the author's own
questioning of his identity as an expression of his radical
dissidence and essential to the response his work evokes in the
reader. Life and writing, autobiography and fiction, constitute the
interconnecting poles of Goytisolo's artistic universe. The essays
included in this volume explore the varying patterns of confluence
of these twin strands in the writer's later work as a whole, but
particularly in novels such as Las semanas del jardin (1997) and
Carajicomedia (2000). The essays are set in context by a
contribution from Juan Goytisolo himself in which he sums up his
philosophy of life and writing as a pursuit of 'non-profitable
knowledge'.
