St Martin's Press The Giant
Book SynopsisFrom graphic novelist Youssef Daoudi comes a radically new look at the director of Citizen Kane and Touch of Evil: legendary filmmaker Orson Welles.Long after his death in 1985, the shadow of Orson Welles still looms over Hollywood. By twenty-three, Welles had revolutionized theatre and radio with The War of the Worlds; by twenty-five, he had secured his place in history with his debut film, Citizen Kane. Yet four films and less than a decade later, his career suffered a spectacular collapse, and Welles, once the most promising director in America, was written off as a would-be geniusa bad bet in an increasingly money-conscious industry. In The Giant, Youssef Daoudi weaves together reality and mythology to create a radical new look at one of Hollywood's most legendary figures and poses a question as timeless as Orson Welles himself: What happens when a true artist comes up against the rest of the world?

The University Press of Kentucky The Birds of Opulence
Book SynopsisFrom the critically acclaimed, award-winning author of Blackberries, Blackberries and Water Street comes an astonishing new novel. A lyrical exploration of love and loss, The Birds of Opulence centres on several generations of women in a bucolic southern black township as they live with and sometimes surrender to madness.Trade ReviewWinner of the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence"" - ""The writing is breathtaking - lyrical and poetic without any pretension.... Wilkinson is working at the height of her powers."" - Lisa Williams, author of Gazelle in the House""Lyrical and visionary, unconventional, and infused with beauty."" - Maurice Manning, author of The Common Man, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry""Crystal Wilkinson's Opulence, Kentucky, is small geographically and in population, but the novel's concerns are large - life, death, love, betrayal, despair, and hope. Wilkinson is a lyrical writer, and, once encountered in these pages, her characters and their stories linger in our memories long after the last page is turned. The Birds of Opulence is a novel to be read and reread."" - Ron Rash, author of Above the Waterfall""Those birds.... They swoop down on and around Opulence, Kentucky, proffering a sweeping perspective of more than three decades that's both grand and intimate. Yes, they are all here, several generations of women - Minnie Mae, Tookie, Lucy, Francine, Yolanda, and Mona - and there are a few good men, too, each and every one of them indelible. Burnished with Wilkinson's stunning prose, The Birds of Opulence is golden and magnificent."" - Robin Lippincott, author of Blue Territory, and In the Meantime""Wilkinson writes of the in-between moments when breath can become suffocation, and when sanity transforms into madness. Wilkinson also writes knowingly about the silences, confusions and half-understood ancestral legends that can exist inside people. This novel meditates on those tensions and confusions by exploring the inner lives of over half a dozen residents of the town of Opulence. The Birds of Opulence is a novel, where every yesterday converges and the reader is almost asked, aren't we all just looking for a little love before we die? A swift and beautiful novel."" - Leo Weekly""Wilkinson is a fine writer, depicting the characters in her book with a sure hand. This is a book to savor. I recommend it gladly."" - Me, You, and Books"" The Birds of Opulence is a magical, lyrical novel by award-winning author Crystal Wilkinson."" - D.L. Hughley Show""Today, Wilkinson is an important and lively force in literary circles.While both heartbreaking and hopeful, the book lingers on the mysterious force and importance of love, especially love handed down through the generations. In The Birds of Opulence, Crystal Wilkinson has told a story with a true Kentucky voice."" - Louisville Courier Journal""Praised for its lyrical expression, this book is so rich with wisdom, you just might want to read twice."" - Brit Co""Wilkinson's writing is lyrical."" - Boston Globe""Amid the thousands of novels published each year, the appearance of great ones with the power to last are as rare as hen's teeth. Thus, publication of The Birds of Opulence this spring is a signal occasion. It heralds the appearance of a masterful novel by Crystal Wilkinson [who] has written a moving and tragic multigenerational novel.Wilkinson has created a beautiful - and brilliant - novel, in some ways reminiscent of the work of Toni Morrison: rich in poetry, rife with memorable characters who each speak in natural but unique voices as they struggle to bear the pain which the older generation inevitably visits on the younger while each generation tries also to cope with the fraught and explosive elements that appear to be part of the very nature of being human - the drive for emotional and sexual expression and connection.There is so much that resonates in this novel, so much magic, so much that informs, so much that feels like a kind of dream but which may actually be something like the residue of your own long forgotten memory of a homeplace. You definitely don't want to miss reading The Birds of Opulence."" - Richmond Register""Mental illness, illegitimate children, friendship, memories, loss, and family ties have beenexplored in fiction before, but in Crystal Wilkinson's long awaited new book, all of these subjects come together in a way that is realistic but not tired, familiar but not predictable, and moving but not nostalgic. Wilkinson so capably and so effortlessly creates this vivid and genuine world that I'm tempted to pull one lush description after another so I can savor her prose a while longer."" - Amanda Kelley, JMWW blog""This lush, lyrical prose is unsurprising from Wilkinson, a critically acclaimed poet and award-winning author.The sumptuous prose and keen insight into the complicated, shifting relationships of one generation to the next will surely bring Wilkinson further recognition for her talents."" - Now & Then""It's a book so prismatic that it makes us inquire, long after it ends, about the special and specific processes of nature, both our biomes and human wildness. The Birds of Opulence is categorically lyrical. On the surface, one can hear echoes of predecessors such as Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison.Thus, in The Birds of Opulence, Wilkinson recreates a nuclear family that is literally the beating heart of eco-feminism with all its squash patches and broken water in dirt."" - Rain Taxi Review of Books""Wilkinson's novel is a special gift to Kentuckians. It speaks to the love of family and the region, and delivers real life tragedies and joys with honest appraisal. It deserves a spot on the shelf with the masters, James Still, Harriette Arnow, and Wendell Berry."" - Louisville Review

Hachette Books The Swamp Fox
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive biography of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, covers his famous wartime stories as well as a private side of him that has rarely been exploredIn the darkest days of the American Revolution, Francis Marion and his band of militia freedom fighters kept hope alive for the patriot cause during the critical British southern campaign. Employing insurgent guerrilla tactics that became commonplace in later centuries, Marion and his brigade inflicted enemy losses that were individually small but cumulatively a large drain on British resources and morale.Although many will remember the stirring adventures of the Swamp Fox from the Walt Disney television series of the late 1950s and the fictionalized Marion character played by Mel Gibson in the 2000 film The Patriot, the real Francis Marion bore little resemblance to either of those caricatures. But his exploits were no less heroic as he succeeded, against all odds, in repeated

The University of Chicago Press Race to the Bottom
Book SynopsisAfrican American voters are a key demographic to the modern Democratic base, and conventional wisdom has it that there is political cost to racialized dog whistles, especially for Democratic candidates. However, politicians from both parties and from all racial backgrounds continually appeal to negative racial attitudes for political gain. Challenging what we think we know about race and politics, LaFleur Stephens-Dougan argues that candidates across the racial and political spectrum engage in racial distancing, or using negative racial appeals to communicate to racially moderate and conservative whites--the overwhelming majority of whites--that they will not disrupt the racial status quo. Race to the Bottom closely examines empirical data on racialized partisan stereotypes to show that engaging in racial distancing through political platforms that do not address the needs of nonwhite communities and charged rhetoric that targets African Americans, immigrants, and others can be poliTrade Review"Stephens-Dougan lays out a novel theoretical framework for understanding how candidates and politicians might strategically use racial messaging to gain the support of white voters. Departing from earlier research on racial priming, which examined the use of racial messaging primarily by white Republican candidates, Stephens-Dougan argues that the electoral incentives that exist for candidates to engage in racially inflammatory messaging are so great that even candidates of color running in these districts often find racially derogatory campaign appeals effectively. This book makes an important contribution to the study of American political behavior and race and ethnic politics." -- Ismail K.

Book SynopsisThe heroic and inspiring story of the fortunes of the Black Watch, whose soldiers have distinguished themselves in theatres of war across the world. Formed into a regiment in 1739 and named for the dark tartan of its soldiers' kilts, The Black Watch has fought in almost every major conflict of nation and empire between 1745 and the present, and has a reputation second to none. Following on from The Highland Furies, in which she traced the regiment's history to 1899, Victoria Schofield tells the story of The Black Watch in the 20th and 21st centuries. She tracks its fortunes through the 2nd South African War, two World Wars, the 'troubles' in N Ireland and the war in Iraq – up to The Black Watch's merger with five other regiments to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland in 2006. Drawing on diaries, letters and interviews, Victoria Schofield weaves the many strands of the story into an epic narrative of a heroic body of officers and men. In her sure hands, the story of The Black Watch is no arid recitation of campaigns and battle honours, but a rewarding account of the fortunes of war of a regiment that has played a distinguished role in British, and world, history.Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR THE HIGHLAND FURIES: 'Schofield's meticulous record of the spirit provides a worthy memorial to the Black Watch' Spectator.
