	*The Woman Radical: How the Chinese Language Defines Women* by Lorraine Huang Lorraine Huang, scholar, has created not only a major contribution to feminist Chinese calligraphic history, but an art piece as well in The Woman Radical: How the Chinese Language Defines Women. Her illustrations, inked on a variety of papers, and interpretative text demonstrate not only the early linkage between the feminine divine and the domestic female, but its denigration when used for patriarchal dominance. The book will fascinate linguists, inform historians, and delight any woman who reads it.

The Colors of Callas brims with delicious tales, many never told before, from a tempestuous life that spanned five decades. At the end of Callas’ life, while her legend continued to grow, she lived out a sort of “Sunset Boulevard” in her lavish Paris apartment, surrounded by memories of a life filled with passion and reminders of a passionate career.

	Miracle Mile by MC Eades A poet and prose artist widely published in liter- ary journals and magazines, Eades takes us on a jour- ney among the dispossessed and rootless of end- of-century America. "...A wild, richly-detailed road trip...." —Anodyne From the trailer parks and motels of the deep south, to the cellblocks of San Quentin; from the skid rows of San Francisco and L.A. to the American expat enclaves and "tourist ghettoes" in China and Southeast Asia, it is at one time a dream of America, and a lament for America's failure to live up to that dream.
