The second release from suburbia's teen-spirited reject aims to tackle our fantasies and hometown heroes before they hit the 20-yard-line. Like his debut, Merridew manages to fuel much of "Teenage Idol" with a similar darkness that is only amplified with bitter endings and tear-jerking plot lines. Leading story, "The Deep End," paints themes of fame-lust and indulgence, while stories like "On City Limits" and "Lax Hoes, Sports Bros" offer a triumphant glimmer of hope in a whirlwind of big dreams and unrealistic expectations. Bruce Farrel returns in "Solo Cups & Bruises" and "Trophy Boy" to finish what he started in his three-part story weaved between personal narratives that seem straight from a diary. "Bleach, Blood & Cum" holds nothing back with a sexually-driven storyline about a boy who wants the fame that "you need an ID to see." But despite what is resting on the surface, "Teenage Idol" isn't about striving for egotistical fame or plastic perfection. It's about our generation's insecurities. It's about ripping apart poster boys and hanging a mirror above the bed frame instead. It's about dancing solo and partying hard, even when your invitation gets lost in the mail. It's about dreaming big in a dead town and rising above the low-blows from anyone who has ever told you that you can't win.

Out of love, anger, and grief Clifford Chase has crafted a moving and brilliant memoir of loss and family bonds. With startling honesty, he evokes scenes of life in a suburban American family and illuminates the strong ties that are woven between two gay brothers as they become adults. Chase documents how, in turn, the family dynamics change forever when one brother--the elder, the admired, the feared, the loved--weathers AIDS-related illnesses and ultimately dies. This is a searching, unsentimental account of how AIDS steals away loved ones and how the wounds of loss come to be healed.

The National Book Award–winning coming-out memoir. “One of the most complex, moral, personal, and political books to have been written about gay life” (LA Weekly). Paul Monette grew up all-American, Catholic, overachieving . . . and closeted. As a child of the 1950s, a time when a kid suspected of being a “homo” would routinely be beaten up, Monette kept his secret throughout his adolescence. He wrestled with his sexuality for the first thirty years of his life, priding himself on his ability to “pass” for straight. The story of his journey to adulthood and to self-acceptance with grace and honesty, this intimate portrait of a young man’s struggle with his own desires is witty, humorous, and deeply felt. Before his death of complications from AIDS in 1995, Monette was an outspoken activist crusading for gay rights. Becoming a Man shows his courageous path to stand up for his own right to love and be loved. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Paul Monette including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the Paul Monette papers of the UCLA Library Special Collections.

After suffering decades of brutal neglect, Winkie, a mangy old teddy bear, realises that he can actually move. He jumps out the window, and takes to the forest. But just as he is discovering the joys and wonders of mobility, self-determination, even love, Winkie's luck ends. Discovered by the military, who instantly conclude that he is the evil mastermind behind dozens of terrorist attacks, Winkie is brought to trial. In this War against Terror the prosecution will stop at nothing to get a conviction. Scathingly funny, and not a little weird, Winkie brilliantly exposes the cruel absurdities of our age and explores what it means to be human in an increasingly barbaric world.
