I’ve gone from crushing on my brother’s best friend to wanting to crush him. Cameron Baker and I have a few things in common. The first being that we were both born and raised in our small Alaskan town. Second, is that we hide our feelings and keep our hearts closed off from anyone who could break them. But hiding my feelings is harder to do with Cam than most. When I was five years old, grieving the loss of my mother, he showed me how big his heart is, and I’ve never forgotten. He comes from the richest family in town. Cam’s bad boy gorgeous, flirts like he has a Doctorate in charm, and he’s my brother’s best friend. That last part is where it gets tricky and the sole reason we’ve never crossed the line. Now, his parents have cut him off to force him to prove himself. I never thought he’d open a competing business to mine. So, I do what I do best, shove all my feelings aside and ready myself to crush him. Game on. TW: physical abuse on page.
How would you feel if you were told that you could not be friends with someone for reasons you could not understand? What if most of the people you knew did not like your friend and said mean things about him or her? For Lincoln Reilly and Tobar Nany, friendship comes at high costs: bullying, mistrust, and secrecy--all because Tobar belongs to an ethnic group that is disliked and misunderstood. Can they remain friends even when their classmates and families seem to be against them?
"This is a superb work of scholarship, impossible to overpraise.... It marks a milestone in the 20-year rise of gay and lesbian studies."--Martin Duberman, The Advocate The men of Renaissance Florence were so renowned for sodomy that "Florenzer" in German meant "sodomite." In the late fifteenth century, as many as one in two Florentine men had come to the attention of the authorities for sodomy by the time they were thirty. In 1432 The Office of the Night was created specifically to police sodomy in Florence. Indeed, nearly all Florentine males probably had some kind of same-sex experience as a part of their "normal" sexual life. Seventy years of denunciations, interrogations, and sentencings left an extraordinarily detailed record, which author Michael Rocke has used in his vivid depiction of this vibrant sexual culture in a world where these same-sex acts were not the deviant transgressions of a small minority, but an integral part of a normal masculine identity. Rocke roots this sexual activity in the broader context of Renaissance Florence, with its social networks of families, juvenile gangs, neighbors, patronage, workshops, and confraternities, and its busy political life from the early years of the Republic through the period of Lorenzo de' Medici, Savonarola, and the beginning of Medici princely rule. His richly detailed book paints a fascinating picture of Renaissance Florence and calls into question our modern conceptions of gender and sexual identity.
In August 2004 a lonely married man with four children made an anonymous post to an on-line forum that he was gay. A month later he came out to his wife. Unflinchingly honest, Lester writes his memoirs of the following 22 months. He knew that by simply removing the barriers that had kept him closeted for over 30 years he would most likely destroy his marriage and alienate his children as he navigated the risks associated with a typical 'gay adolescence'. Lester describes in detail how he relied solely upon his core values and used boundaries instead of barriers to define his new life. In the end, it would appear that nothing had changed. He was still married, still had a tightly knit family, and was still gay. But nothing was the same. His relationship with his wife is so vastly improved that he no longer considers it the same marriage, his relationship with his children has been redefined, and the allure of gay sexual activity has abated and been replaced by healthy friendships with several men, both gay and straight. He no longer has Forbidden Friends.
Dante Maroni, the heir to an underworld empire, and Amara, his housekeeper's daughter, find themselves entangled in a story that begins with unrequited childhood infatuation and grows into a tale of forbidden love, trauma, and power.

Paek Nam-nyong’s Friend is a tale of marital intrigue, abuse, and divorce in North Korea. A woman in her thirties comes to a courthouse petitioning for a divorce. As the judge who hears her statement begins to investigate the case, the story unfolds into a broader consideration of love and marriage. The novel delves into its protagonists’ past, describing how the couple first fell in love and then how their marriage deteriorated over the years. It chronicles the toll their acrimony takes on their son and their careers alongside the story of the judge’s own marital troubles. A best-seller in North Korea, where Paek continues to live and write, Friend illuminates a side of life in the DPRK that Western readers have never before encountered. Far from being a propagandistic screed in praise of the Great Leader, Friend describes the lives of people who struggle with everyday problems such as marital woes and workplace conflicts. Instead of socialist-realist stock figures, Paek depicts complex characters who wrestle with universal questions of individual identity, the split between public and private selves, the unpredictability of existence, and the never-ending labor of maintaining a relationship. This groundbreaking translation of one of North Korea’s most popular writers offers English-language readers a page-turner full of psychological tension as well as a revealing portrait of a society that is typically seen as closed to the outside world.
