LITERATURE AND THE NEW CULTURE WARS
By Appleman, Deborah
Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts?Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right -- to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled -- school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions.In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke.

Storyville!
By John, Dufresne,
Whether you are daunted by a blinking cursor or frustrated trying to get the people in your head onto the page, writing stories can be intimidating. It takes passion, tenacity, patience, and a knowledge of--and faith in--the often-digressive writing process. A do-it-yourself manual for the apprentice fiction writer, Storyville demystifies that process; its bold graphics take you inside the writer's comfortingly chaotic mind and show you how stories are made.In Storyville , seasoned guide John Dufresne--whose approach "will anchor the newbie and entertain the veteran" (San Francisco Chronicle) --provides practical insight into the building blocks of fiction, including how to make the reader see your characters, create a suspenseful plot, and revise, revise, revise.
