Three decades later, as a divorced father
of a college-age son and a writer of maritime

that his son has fallen in love with the
same bedazzling siren.

Bird
at My Window
Rosa Guy's powerful novel follows a
young and brilliant black man who wakes in a mental
hospital and is told he has assaulted his sister.
Unable to
recall the circumstances that brought him to commit
this
unthinkable act, he retraces his steps and reveals
the
rich complexity of mid-twentieth-century Harlem
and its
mothers, sons, and daughters whose aspirations prevail
and perish within both white and black America.

Girl
Reel A
must-have for all film buffs, Girl Reel is a book about our relationship
to popular culture- how media images both preview and rerun our own lives. By
surveying images of women and lesbians in television and film over the seventies,
eighties, and nineties, and chronicling the move of lesbian and gay issues from
the margins to the mainstream, Bonnie Morris offers her own images of strong women,
for a new generation of readers.
