Finalist for the 2013 Over the Rainbow Selection presented by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table (GLBTRT) of the American Library Association In this compelling social history, Craig M. Loftin describes how gay people in the United States experienced the 1950s and early 1960s, a time when rapidly growing gay and lesbian subcultures suffered widespread discrimination. The book is based on a remarkable and unique historical source: letters written to ONE magazine, the first openly gay publication in the United States. These letters, most of which have never before been published, provide extraordinary insight into the experiences, thoughts, and feelings of gay men and lesbians nationwide, especially as they coped with the anxieties of the McCarthy era. The letters reveal how gay people dealt with issues highly relevant to LGBT life today, including job discrimination, police harassment, marriage, homophobia in families, and persecution in churches and the military. Loftin shows that gay men and lesbians responded to intolerance and bigotry with resilience, creativity, and an invigorated belief in their right to live their lives as gay men and lesbians long before this was accepted and considered safe. Groundbreaking chapters address gay marriage and family life, international gay activism, and how antigay federal government policies reverberated throughout the country.

Based on images of disguise in literature, theater, and opera, this short-story cycle explores themes of identity and subterfuge in a fictional fugue that ranges from comic to poignant. Into the librettos of Don Giovanni, Tosca, Rigoletto, and other operas, Green weaves the authentic biographies of their singers and composers, modern-day settings, and his own imaginative twists. Throughout Voices in a Mask, characters obscure and reveal themselves as art mimics life and life, art. Ultimately the very acts of masking and projecting reveal a truth about the power of art and its inherent deceptions.

Numerous "masked" Autistic persons pass as neurotypical for every visible Autistic person you encounter. To conform to cultural standards, masking is a typical coping strategy used by autistic persons. In doing so, they create a fake identity at the risk of their mental well-being. To avoid being seen as needy or "strange," they may repress innocuous stims, mask communication difficulties by being modest and mild-mannered, or put themselves in circumstances that make them very anxious. To better understand and appreciate those who are neurodiverse, the most important thing we can do is educate ourselves about autism. Nobody should have to alter who they are in order to satisfy someone else or a certain group. The general public needs to know more about autism. Every educational program need to include autism instruction. Less stigma and pressure to fit in will be felt by autistic persons as a result of our increased knowledge and understanding. Everyone should have access without having to "suck it up" as society expects before extending a ticket to those of us in disadvantaged groups.

The culmination of a trilogy on children literature that began with After Alice and The Prose and the Passion. The 20 essays address a variety of genres and issues both in contemporary contexts and in the past. Among the contributors are novelists Jan Mark, Jill Paton Walsh, and John Rowe Townsend; others include artists and booksellers. Their topics range from a bookseller's view of wasting money, the revenge of the teenage horror, and Aesop for children to reading picture books, letter writing, picture books as small portable galleries, the masks of the narrator, and critical literacy as a dangerous underground movement.

Since the 1950s, Abe Kōbō (1924-1993) has achieved an international reputation for his surreal or grotesque brand of literature. Bolton explores how this reconciliation of ideas and dialects is for Abe part of the process whereby texts and individuals form themselves--a search for identity that occurs at the level of the self and society at large.
