My Brother's Keeper
Two brothers were equally talented. One grew up to be a successful writer and the other, a musician, stayed at home to look after his ageing parents. Both married but the writer is now divorced and has a young actress girlfriend. The play deals with the period when the writer returns home from abroad after a message that his father is seriously ill. In the first scenes the writer tries unsuccessfully to bring his father out of his persistent vegetative state and there is a confrontation between him and the stay-at-home brother who suggests that euthanasia might be their only way out. The coup de grace isn’t necessary as the father dies at the end of the first act while the brothers are arguing. In the second act we see the clearance of the house and all its memories; greedy neighbours who want the deceased’s possessions for nothing; an opportunity for the stay-at-home brother to get his music published (which he turns down) and finally the writer is made to face up to his own fatherhood in an emotional but silent final embrace between him and the teenage son that he hasn’t seen for years.

Intersectionality and Decolonisation in Contemporary British Crime Fiction
Intersectionality and decolonisation are prominent themes in contemporary British crime fiction. Through an in-depth critical and contextual analysis of selected contemporary British crime fiction novels from the 1990s to 2018, this distinctive book examines representations of race, class, sexuality, and gender by John Harvey, Stella Duffy, M.Y.

The people must face both external war and internal discord, leaving their future uncertain. Amid the chaos, a flicker of hope emerges. James, a young man of twenty, is thrust into a battle far beyond his understanding. As his world changes around him, he must rise to meet the challenges that will determine the fate of the realm.

The Sacrament and Other Plays of Forbidden Love
Hugo Claus, generally recognized as the greatest living writer in the Dutch language, became famous in the theater for several early works of particular force and daring. This volume includes three of those remarkable early plays: Bride in the Morning, Sugar, and The Sacrament. All three plays boast unforgettable characters trapped in a world of oppressive social mores. The central figures are all subject to sexual and creative impulses towards objects of forbidden love that bring disapproval and censure crashing in on them, subsequently bringing about their own ruin.
Snapshots From My Uneventful Life
"...she drove her right fist three inches deep into my solar plexus, putting her entire 102 pounds behind the blow. I retreated a full foot but remained on my feet. I gasped, treasuring the oxygen remaining in my lungs, and knew that little more was likely to enter there for some time. I wondered how long a person could live without breathing. More so, I wondered how long I could convince my sixteen-year-old daughter that I was unfazed by her puny blow." In this hysterical, irreverent and sometimes thought-provoking collection of essays, the author takes us on a journey through everyday, real-life events that start out as uneventful, but that wind up being anything but. 'Snapshots' is a book that everyone will identify with, and that will have you holding your stomach with laughter!
English Village Carols for Mountain Dulcimer
This is a collection of Christmas carols that are loved and sung in English village pubs. Arranged for mountain dulcimer with accompanying guitar chords by Lance Frodsham, these beautiful and catchy carols are perfect for stringed instruments.

This is the first dulcimer collection of many of the carols that are beloved by English country folk. Includes access to online audio with the full carol for each arrangement.

Cattle Country
As beef and cattle production progressed in nineteenth-century America, the cow emerged as the nation's representative food animal and earned a culturally prominent role in the literature of the day. In Cattle Country Kathryn Cornell Dolan examines the role cattle played in narratives throughout the century to show how the struggles within U.S. food culture mapped onto society's broader struggles with colonization, environmentalism, U.S. identity, ethnicity, and industrialization. Dolan examines diverse texts from Native American, African American, Mexican American, and white authors that showcase the zeitgeist of anxiety surrounding U.S. identity as cattle gradually became an industrialized...
