  • Many Voices, One Nation Booklist A
    Many Voices, One Nation Booklist Many Voices, One Nation began as an initiative of past American Library Association President Carol Brey-Casiano. In 2005 ALA Chapters, Ethnic Caucuses, and other ALA groups were asked to contribute annotated book selections that best represent the uniqueness, diversity, and/or heritage of their state, region or group. Selections are featured for children, young adults, and adults. The list is a sampling that showcases the diverse voices that exist in our nation and its literature. A Alabama Library Association Title: Send Me Down a Miracle Author: Han Nolan Publisher: San Diego: Harcourt Brace Date of Publication: 1996 ISBN#: [X] Young Adults Annotation: Adrienne Dabney, a flamboyant New York City artist, returns to Casper, Alabama, the sleepy, God-fearing town of her birth, to conduct an artistic experiment. Her big-city ways and artsy ideas aren't exactly embraced by the locals, but it's her claim of having had a vision of Jesus that splits the community. Deeply affected is fourteen- year-old Charity Pittman, daughter of a local preacher. Reverend Pittman thinks Adrienne is the devil incarnate while Charity thinks she's wonderful. Believer is pitted against nonbeliever and Charity finds herself caught in the middle, questioning her father, her religion, and herself. Alabama Library Association Title: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café Author: Fannie Flagg Publisher: New York: Random House Date of Publication: 1987 ISBN#: [X] Adults Annotation: This begins as the story of two women in the 1980s, of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn who is caught in the sad slump of middle age.

The rapid uptake of social media in Asia Pacific, thanks to consumer segments such as millennials and Generation Z, has been a major factor in the rise of social commerce.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

  • Signed Modern Firsts I: Achebe–Kunzru
    Pryor-Johnson Rare Books Signed Modern Firsts I: Achebe-Kunzru [1123 Broadway, Suite 517, New York, NY 10075] [email protected] What an odd time to be an antiquarian bookseller. As the whole world strives to heal while convulsing with rage against injustice, issue points and binding variants can seem pitifully insignificant. We slip into the shop masked and gloved to wrap and dispatch books, but 1123 Broadway has not now for months been a haven of bibliophilia, with baroque music playing and a pot of coffee freshly brewed. Yet we hear from our clients and feel ourselves that cultivating bibliomania — even reading the books — has been a balm. Reading has been an escape as well as a means of rediscovering some of the humanity that’s been eroded by seclusion. Signed books have always had to do with imputed distance: the author’s signature in it is a marker of its having passed through her hands, sometime somewhere. As our own geographical remit has narrowed, a signed book now feels even more like a piece of moon fallen into our hands. We feel it is vital to amplify black, brown and native voices. Thus we highlight the following authors in this list: Achebe, Borges, Danticat, Erdrich, Fuentes, Garcia-Aguilera, Iweala and Kunzru. Their work travers- es style, subject and period. There is no one “literature of color,” nor do we wish to tokenize or fetishize these authors’ work. Bringing the work of people of color to the fore nevertheless feels like a small but powerful role the world of antiquarian books can play — a safeguard against our becoming truly irrelevant or frivolous.

  • Japan on Display: Photography and the Emperor P
    Japan on Display Sixty years on from the end of the Pacifi c War, Japan on Display examines representations of the Meiji Emperor, Mutsuhito (1852–1912), and his grandson the Shôwa Emperor, Hirohito, who was regarded as a symbol of the nation, in both war and peacetime. Much of this representation was aided by the phenomenon of photography. The introduction and development of photography in the nineteenth century coincided with the need to make Hirohito’s grandfather, the young Meiji Emperor, more visible. It was important to show the world that Japan was a civilised nation, worthy of international respect. Photobooks and albums became a popular format for presenting seemingly objective images of the monarch, reminding the Japanese of their proximity to the emperor, and the imperial family. In the twentieth century, these ‘national albums’ provided a visual record of wars fought in the name of the emperor, while also documenting the reconstruction of Tokyo, scientifi c expeditions, and imperial tours. Collectively, they create a visual narrative of the nation, one in which Emperor Hirohito (1901–89) and science and technology were prominent. Drawing on archival documents, photographs, and sources in both Japanese and English, this book throws new light on the history of twentieth-century Japan and the central role of Hirohito. With Japan’s defeat in the Pacifi c War, the emperor was transformed from wartime leader to peace-loving scientist. Japan on Display seeks to understand this reinvention of a more ‘human’ emperor and the role that photography played in the process. Morris Low is Professor of East Asian Sciences and Technology at Johns Hop- kins University.
