Friedman's first novel, Stern, is most often considered as a contribution to the emergence of "black humor" in American fiction.Stern is an existential comedy about the angst of Jewish assimilation. The novel's title character finds himself in alien territory- the American suburbs-confused and beset by a series of humiliations he struggles to understand. The story of his misadventures is funny, but in the way the plays of Beckett and Ionesco are funny, in a detached and deadpan manner that can also be disconcerting. View more info

One of Tennessee Williams' most subtle and tender works, Summer and Smoke explores the conflict between the hedonistic body and the lofty spirit. Set in Mississippi, Alma Winemiller, the minister's daughter, has grown up loving the boy who lives next door: John Buchanan, the doctor's son, is a wild, adventurous, mischievous pleasure seeker. He spends the hot Mississippi summers drinking, gambling, and romancing. His only religion is the anatomy chart on his wall, and what it teaches him about man's needs: food, truth, and lovemaking. Alma, on the other hand, is quiet, eccentric, and high-strun... View more info

The eighth book about Castaneda's apprenticeship with the Yaqui Indian sorcerer Don Juan Matus. Castaneda maintains his vivid sense of wonder as Don Juan escorts him into a new world of mystery and magic; he offers a crisp presentation of esoteric ideas. Taking control of one's dreams, says Don Juan, is the key to a sorcerer's power. But what kind of sorcerer? Don Juan makes a distinction between the ancients, who manipulated the world for personal power, and moderns-- such as himself-- who search for freedom. Castaneda must thread his way between these two opposing camps, balancing his thirst... View more info

Charles Askins, Jr., was an American lawman, US Army officer, and writer. He served in law enforcement -US Forest Service and Border Patrol- in the American Southwest prior to the Second World War. Askins was controversial for the relish with which he described the numerous fatal shootings in his law enforcement and military careers, stating he had killed 27 men. Because he was involved in numerous shootouts along the US - Mexico border, and due to his stated practice of not keeping track of African-Americans and Hispanics, the actual number of killings he committed was potentially much highe...

A prominent Republic politician, Will Hays gave up his political ambitions after serving as U.S. postmaster general to become the motion picture industry's morality czar. Hays set up a strict movie production code that saved Hollywood from government censorship by imposing limits on acceptable screen behavior; it became the basis for an early industry movie rating system. The author, Raymond Moley, argues that the centralization of film standards in the Hays Office actually leads to greater freedom in film by creating federal standards rather than State and local control of content.
