"Demons are feasting on your father."
Johnny stood at the threshold looking into the dim beer bar at a
hooded man. His father was in the county hospital fighting an
aggressive cancer. And now this menacing character proclaims a dire
message. What, was he living in "the Lord of the Rings"? Johnny
soon finds that in order to save his father, he must face creatures
and beings from mythic realms he thought only existed in stories.
But even more challenging, he must find a way to persuade his
father to stay and fight when the man he's looked up to all his
life has determined it's time to die.
"The Annunciation of Jack" is a story cycle that presents the
interlinked tales of ordinary people in an ordinary Northern
California town during the early 1970s. Gerald Blanden, broker for
Alhambra Realty, owns a comfortable three bedroom, two bath home
atop a hill overlooking the town, with his wife and two children.
Violet Philpott is a wide, elderly widow and treasurer for the
Nazarene Church, with a garden in the backyard, and irises lining
the front picket fence. The Williams family is headed by Jack and
Cheryl, owners of the Gondolier Pizza Parlor, and parents of a
teenage boy, Johnny, and seven-year old twins. And Carrie Hill, a
teenage girl from a divorced family, is Johnny Williams's
childhood, and best, friend. The people of Windford live with the
tragedies and triumphs we all experience--the destruction of a
house through natural disaster, the loss of a spouse to illness,
the mental illness of a mother, the flowering of love between young
people, the struggle with work, faith, family.
But with our friends from Windford, other mythic realms bubble
up from beneath the surface of their ordinary reality. A teenage
boy finds solace and escape from his father's illness through the
characters of "the Lord of the Rings," Clarence the angel in "It's
a Wonderful Life" and the rituals of Christmas. A lonely horseback
rider upon a snowy road rescues an accident victim with
supernatural power and warmth. A real estate broker discovers his
house rubble from the destructive presence of angelic beings, the
Marasim--who desperately need his help. An injured cherub helps a
grieving woman uncover a reason to live, to save a boy from
drowning. A cancer-stricken father is ripped from a hospital bed
and flown to Mt. Diablo aboard a black coach, and his son must
unearth a way to rescue him. And a wife must track down her husband
to stop him from traveling to the High Realms, enlisting the help
of a 300-year old monk, the Spider Woman and Wolwoni Indians. Along
the way, our friends encounter demons, dark Marasim, evil hags,
beautiful and treacherous harpists, a maniacal evangelist, a bear
god, the Raurjan, sea serpents, an amphibious 1954 Chevy Bel Air,
ghosts upon Angel Island, the Undying Ones, Faerian Drama, mirrors,
ancient stories, a wooden bark upon the sea, thuribles, tobacco,
ocean and snow, all of which play a part in their struggle to make
sense of life, death, love and purpose. Not to mention a little
pizza and beer

Women may hold up more than half the sky on earth, but it has been
different in heaven: science fiction still is very much a preserve
of male protagonists, mostly performing by-the-numbers quests. In
The Other Half of the Sky, editor Athena Andreadis offers readers
heroes who happen to be women, doing whatever they would do in
universes where they're fully human. Contributors Melissa Scott,
Alex Jablokov, Nisi Shawl, Sue Lange, Vandana Singh, Joan
Slonczewski, Terry Boren, Aliette de Bodard, Ken Liu, Alex Dally

Urban Crow is a collection of short stories that sheds light on the
people in the peripheral of our society. It does not always follow
the accepted path of traditional linear story telling; goal,
motivation and conflict are thrown away and replaced with
contemplation. It's gritty, sometimes ugly and off of the well-worn
path. No morals, resolution or happy endings. It's messy,
uncertain, self conscious, existential and full of dissonance -
just like an Ornette Coleman composition.

Radio Free Europe was first published in 1958. Minnesota Archive
Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books
once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. What is radio Free
Europe? Where does it broadcast? Who runs it? What are its
purposes? Although thousands of Americans are familiar with Radio
Free Europe (many have contributed to its support through the
Crusade for Freedom campaigns), few know enough about its
background to answer these and similar questions. In this book a
political scientist with first-hand knowledge gives a detailed
account of the organization and development of this unique
propaganda enterprise. Radio Free Europe was established as a
private broadcasting project in 1949 by the Free Europe Committee,
headed by Joseph C. Grew, as part of the Committee's program of
broad, long-range assistance to democratic exiles from totalitarian
countries. The operational headquarters are located at Munich, and
the broadcasts are directed to the people of five satellite
countries: Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, and Poland.
Professor Holt tells how Radio Free Europe was established,
outlines its basic policies and objectives, describes its
organization, personnel, programming, and services, discusses
transmission problems, and examines the effectiveness of the
propaganda. He describes in detail the role of RFE in connection
with the uprisings in Poland and Hungary and analyzes the charges
that RFE stimulated the Hungarian revolt.
