We think that we are using language while, like the ground beneath us, all the time language may be using us. In Letters to Jude, James Lawless takes us on a magical tour through the levels of language in all its glory and its slipperiness. He has at once a heightened sense of the promises of language and a deep, nagging doubt about the limits to communicability. Such is his intrepid sophistication, that he can even bring himself to doubt the very medium through which those doubts are expressed. A tour de force for the mind but also a chastening that words come from the body and return to it.'' - Declan Kiberd''A rich Joycean novel with beautifully written passages of linguistic diversity and deep emotions full of insights.''- Brandon Yen

"This is a detailed ethnographic study of food beliefs and practices in a rural community of Hassan District, Karnataka State (formerly Mysore), India. The author is an anthropological linguist who resided in the locality for almost two years in 1966-67. He provides the reader with an unusually detailed view of the intersections of language, food, and social relationships. Food is viewed as an important structuring aspect of the Hindu world view, a way that people symbolically represent and reproduce their own identities, gender relationships, and the differences among local castes and sub-castes. The role of foods and food exchange in weddings, ancestor ceremonies, and other family ceremonies is explored. The area visited no longer exists, having been submerged by a dam project"--

13 WICKED TALES. 1 NIGHTMARE OF A STORY.A plane full of corpses. A curse that grows stronger with each flash of a camera. A bullied girl with a monstrous secret. Horror seeps into our world one drop of blood at a time, pooling into a sanguine reflection of the world we once knew and drawing us deep into the shadow-soaked corners of the imagination. J. Patrick Lemarr offers thirteen frightening stories, each featuring a different facet of evil, conjuring darkness and chills sure to grip your attention. In the end, these truths will remain: FEAR is becoming reality. HOPE has never seemed so far away."There is always more to the world around us than what our five senses can determine-a notion near and dear to my own heart. Lemarr plays with this idea brilliantly, yet it's ultimately just another color on his paintbrush... He has far deeper concerns, mostly about what a proud, deceitful thing the human heart can be." - Robin Parrish (Author of Nightmare, RobinParrish.com)

This is book three of Clara Wu Books. Clara Wu is excited to rejoin her friends Sung Kim, Yuka Satoh and Daniel Nguyen in preparation for the next battle against the Warlock's demon-spawned army. But a tragic mistake leaves one of her friends in peril and the well laid plans for Azen's defense are put in jeopardy. Everything hinges on Clara embarking on a daring rescue mission to save her friend, from the Warlock. Clara had been silently flying atop the crane for some time. The knots in her stomach were twisted so tight, she thought they would sheer apart at any moment and tear her insides out. She looked up as the cool night air whisked by her cheeks like sharp daggers. Her eyes looked about her and she could barely see the small stealthy Top Talon squadron against the dark of night. But she knew they were there and were probably as anxious as she was. Everything depended on a successful rescue so that they could make it back in time for the next battle. Without all the Azen Warriors at the battlefront, the Azen armies would not stand a chance against the unrelenting Warlock's army. Azen cannot fall, she thought as she let out a sigh of hopelessness. She thumbed the comforting feel of the Bamboo Jade to calm her anxiousness when her crane whispered, "Empress Warrior Wu, we are almost there." Clara looked up and she saw it in the distance. It was faint but she could make out the large silhouette of some forbidding structure jutting out of a mountain side. It was the Warlock's fortress, and somewhere inside was her fellow warrior that needed rescue before it was too late. Start your journey with book one, Clara Wu and the Portal Book. Be immersed in a fantasy where Asian American readers can see themselves in story as heroes and where their allies can see them as heroes.
