Caketrain

Our nation was founded on the belief that all men are created equal. Nearly two hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, slavery had been abolished but America was still segregated. Then: Enter the students who marched into the first desegregated school, the passengers who boycotted the buses, and the leaders who stood up and spoke out. When they started, it was all just a dream. . . . Through striking, powerful verse and gorgeous, detailed illustrations, this is the dream catalogs the American experience before, during, and after the civil rights movement. Come along on this incredible journey, and see how far we've come in attaining freedom and justice for all.

This Is the Dream

Il metodo danese per crescere bambini felici ed essere genitori sereni

Fiction. A woman discovers a hand in the garden, a wrist in the sink, and resigns herself to stand by and watch as her lover reduces herself to an eyeball. DEAR ENEMY, is a collection of twenty-one depraved tales. A dead family strokes their rage while wandering in and out of other family photographs. Another woman wrestles with marital ambivalence as a bear carries her husband off their front porch and into a nearby forest. These stories are haunted by strange, inexplicable, and sinister yearnings. With the terse simplicity of fairy tales, DEAR ENEMY, warps familiar fictional forms and serves a vision as intimate as it is alien. "This book is outlandish, uncanny, and telling in the best possible ways." --Amina Cain "DEAR ENEMY announces the arrival of an important new voice on the American innovative writing scene--crazy smart, self-aware, energetic, and impishly irreverent." --Lance Olsen "With a matchbook of stimulating quirky literary devices, Jessica Alexander is ready with her DEAR ENEMY, to light up our hair, our brain, the striking surface of our ignorant taste on fire." --Vi Khi Nao

Dear Enemy,

Jessica Alexander
