The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation’s communism as both criminal and philistine.

Morrison created the first truly definitive period in X-Men history since Chris Claremont’s departure.

I deeply resent that the top reviews for this book are written by men. The focus of this edition is not on the nostalgic appeal of the work, but on Avital Ronell’s incisive introduction, “Deviant The Aims of Valerie Solanas.” Here is a reconsideration of Solanas’s infamous text in light of her social milieu, Derrida’s “The Ends of Man” (written in the same year), Judith Butler’s Excitable Speech, Nietzsche’s Ubermensch and notorious feminist icons from Medusa, Medea and Antigone, to Lizzie Borden, Lorenna Bobbit and Aileen Wournos, illuminating the evocative exuberance of Solanas’s dark tract. In fact, the work has indisputable prescience, not only as a radical feminist analysis light-years ahead of its timepredicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against under-representation in the artsbut also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman. But the Manifesto, for all its vitriol, is impossible to dismiss as just the rantings of a lesbian lunatic. ![]() Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published this work just before her rampage against the king of Pop Art made her a household name and resulted in her confinement to a mental institution. SCUM Manifesto was considered one of the most outrageous, violent and certifiably crazy tracts when it first appeared in 1968. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It artfully sketches the magnificence of the American West as mirrored in the human soul. Powerful and atmospheric, lyrical and fast-paced, All Things Left Wild is a coming-of-age for one man, a midlife odyssey for the other, and an illustration of the violence and corruption prevalent in our fast-expanding country. Together they navigate the murky values of vigilante justice. With little sense of how to survive, much less how to take his revenge, Randall meets Charlotte, a woman experienced in the deadly ways of life in the West. Wealthy and bookish Randall Dawson, out of place in this rugged and violent country, is begrudgingly chasing after the Bentley brothers. Caleb's moral compass and inner courage will be tested as they travel the harsh terrain and encounter those who have carved out a life there, for good or ill. After an attempted horse theft goes tragically wrong, sixteen-year-old Caleb Bentley is on the run with his mean-spirited older brother across the American Southwest at the turn of the twentieth century. ![]() ![]() While a work of historical fiction, any liberties taken by Gratz were done so with the real Gruener’s blessing in order to better illustrate what Jews and other groups considered “undesirable” by the Nazis went through in their concentration camps. The book chronicles the fall of his home in Kraków, Poland, Yanek’s separation from his family, and the events surrounding his torment as a Nazi prisoner. ![]() ![]() Prisoner B-3087 uses the Holocaust survival story of Jack Gruener in order to showcase the horrors of the Holocaust in such a way that the target demographic of the book-middle and high schoolers-will understand the terror surrounding this point in history.Ĭalled by his Polish name, Yanek, the novel follows Jack’s story from the time the war began when he was ten to his survival of the concentration camps at sixteen. The tale told in Alan Gratz’s Young Adult novel Prisoner B-3087 is one of these stories. These testimonies are important, as they signify the darkest time in modern human history, a grim reminder of what evils humanity is capable of. ![]() ![]() No truer does this ring than with the countless stories of Holocaust survivors that have been told in the decades since World War II. The stories that survive are the ones that define history. ![]() ![]() ![]() Working with the Born Free Foundation in 2009 for the launch of The Elephant's Tale was a life-changing moment for her: travelling to rescue Leopards from a failed zoo in Cyprus was an amazing experience and she has since set up and continues to fundraise for The Last Leopard fund, which aims to create a new wildlife sanctuary in South Africa. Dolphin Song and The Last Leopard (published in paperback in May 2009) continued Martine's story, which concludes in The Elephant's Tale. Set in Africa, Lauren captured the bond between Martine, an English orphan, and a fabled young white giraffe named Jemmy. In 2006 Lauren St John's debut children's novel, The White Giraffe, was published by Orion Children's Books. She currently lives in London - but she dreams of living in St Ives! Her memoir of growing up during independence in Zimbabwe, Rainbow's End, was published in 2007. ![]() St John has written biographies of sporting heroes and Nashville Musicians - golf and country music being two of her obsessions. After moving to England as a young adult, she worked as a journalist for several years and spent ten years as a golf correspondent for The Sunday Times. ![]() Lauren St John was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and lived on a private game reserve until she was 16. ![]() ![]() This lushly-illustrated story is a must-read for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Smile and Sisters, Mariko Tamaki's This One Summer, Svetlana Chmakova's Awkward, and Victoria Jamieson's Roller Girl.
