The Solitary Twist: A Nell Fury Mystery Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was a refreshing book - wish I had found Pincus earlier! The plot makes sense, the lesbian connection is clear and forthright, and the characters are well-developed. I was immediately involved in the book, and was held throughout the whole story.

Ancient Acid Flashes Back: Poems Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)An exceptional trip down the stoned, yellow-brick road of memory. I was in San Francisco in the late 1960's and these poems brought it all back--yeah, it was a real flashback. The sadness and beauty of it all. If you were there, get this book. Peace.Click Here to see more reviews about: Ancient Acid...

King of Shadows Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)KING OF SHADOWS shows that the "love child of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov" hasn't lost any of his touch after decades of work as one of San Francisco's leading poets. His ease with prose is amazing, though it is not for everybody, and some of the measured, musical sentences are richer and slower...

Conversations with Maxine Hong Kingston (Literary Conversations) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I first read Maxine Hong Kingston's Woman Warrior when I was in 10th grade and I fell in love with it! I am Asian American myself and I could relate to various aspects in the novel. However, a lot of the novel can be confusing so I was not sure if I had gotten enough out of it. So, when I saw this book,...

The White Rabbit and Other Delights: East Totem West : A Hippie Company, 1967-1969 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm surprised there is no picture previews of this book, as it is really beautiful. Every page is thick, quality paper, and is in full color. I especially enjoyed the fact that I was able to see many great works of rare poster art by artists whose works are sometimes hard to locate. Some of my favorites...

Scrub Match Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)To a mixed-race gay man still smarting from a failed relationship during his final year of college, San Francisco seemed like the best destination for Paul Carter after graduation. A city of ethnic diversity, where his red Afro would be less likely to elicit stares, and where a significant portion of...

Koko Be Good Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Jen Wang can draw. There is no question about that. The artwork for "Koko Be Good" is fantastic. Wang's style is loose and frenetic, stylistically solid and beautifully colored (water color? Maybe). There is so much life and energy in her imagery that the pages of the book have a hard time containing...

Outside Passage: A Memoir of an Alaskan Childhood Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In contradiction to Sarah Palin's take on Alaska, the history brought forth in Julia Scully's memoir evokes stark brilliant scenes peopled by stoic pioneers. As I reread Outside Passage, I'm reminded of the unique existence Julia and her family experienced at a time the U.S. was in turmoil.Click Here...
