Children's & YAA Kiss to My Mum
by Huang Beijia
A Kiss to My Mum is a novel that delves into the growth of a child from a single-parent family. The hero is a ten-year-old boy called Zhao Andi. He is Zhao Andi to his teacher, My Dear An to his father and Didi to his mother. At his father’s funeral, for the first time he sees his mother Shu Yimei, so beautiful as if she stepped down from a photo. At this gloomy moment Didi was pushed to an arduous cliff, on the other side of which is his mother Shu Yimei, blowing the scent of orange. The novel develops around the gradual emotional thaw of the boy and his mother. At first they cannot get along with and are watchful of each other. But distance gradually gives way to proximity and then to mutual understanding and harmony between the two on their way to the future. This is a story of a boy and his parents, singing high praise for children. It is also about our life, our minds and love. All the characters in the novel are very much realistic, including the boy of slight autism and the mother of slight depression. The atmosphere of modern life in the novel is achieved through the depiction of other characters such as the hero’s classmate and good friend Zhang Xiaochen, his sister Ke’er, his uncle Baolin and his English teacher Li Qinsong, a man of dubious identity, thus adding to the enjoyment of the book.

The ArtsJanuary 2019The secret life of romantic comedy
by Celestino Deleyto
The secret life of romantic comedy offers a new approach to one of the most popular and resilient genres in the history of Hollywood. Steering away from the rigidity and ideological determinism of traditional accounts of the genre, this book advocates a more flexible theory, which allows the student to explore the presence of the genre in unexpected places, extending the concept to encompass films that are not usually considered romantic comedies. Combining theory with detailed analyses of a selection of films, including To Be or Not to Be (1942), Rear Window (1954), Kiss Me Stupid (1964), Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) and Before Sunset (2004), the book aims to provide a practical framework for the exploration of a key area of contemporary experience - intimate matters - through one of its most powerful filmic representations: the genre of romantic comedy. Original and entertaining, The secret life of romantic comedy is perfect for students and academics of film and film genre.

Folk & traditional musicApril 2005The Kiss in history
by Edited by Karen Harvey
Writers have previously placed the action of kissing into categories: kisses of love, affection, peace, respect and friendship. Each of the essays in this fascinating book take a single kind of kiss and uses it as an index to the past. For rather than offering a simple history of the kiss, this book is about the kiss in history. In this collection, an eminent group of cultural historians have explored this subject using an exceptionally wide range of evidence. They explore the kiss through sources as diverse as canonical religious texts, popular prints, court depositions, periodicals, diaries and poetry. In casting the net so wide, these authors demonstrate how cultural history has been shaped by a broad concept of culture, encompassing more than simply the canons of art and literature, and integrating apparently 'historical' and 'non-historical' sources. Furthermore, this collections shows that by analyzing the kiss and its position - embedded as it is as part of our culture - history can use small gestures to take us to big issues concerning ourselves and others, the past and the present. With an afterword by Sir Keith Thomas, this book will be fascinating reading for cultural historians working on a wide range of different societies and periods.

August 1985Kiss Daddy Goodnight
Aussprache über Inzest
by Louise Armstrong, Helga Herborth, Alice Miller
Louise Armstrong, als Kind selbst Opfer sexueller Mißhandlungen, hat Gespräche mit fast 200 Frauen geführt, die ebenfalls im Kindesalter sexuell mißbraucht worden waren. Im vorliegenden Buch sind die Erfahrungen von 16 dieser Frauen und der Autorin selbst dargestellt. Dabei wird deutlich, was es mit den vielen Mythen um das wohlbehütete Geheimnis des Inzests in Wahrheit auf sich hat. Mythos: Inzest ist »tabu«. – Verschiedenen Schätzungen zufolge sind in Amerika mehr als 120 Millionen Frauen im Kindesalter sexuell mißbraucht worden. Kein anderes Tabu ist mit soviel Gewalt verbunden wie dieses. Louise Armstrong kommt zu dem Schluß, daß in Wahrheit nicht der Inzest das Tabu ist, sondern das »Sprechen« über den Inzest. Mythos: Bei den Mädchen handelt es sich um »verführerische« Jugendliche. – Tatsächlich waren die meisten Frauen, mit denen Louise Armstrong gesprochen hat, gerade drei, vier, fünf oder sechs Jahre alt, als der Mißbrauch begann. Mythos: Die Mädchen »laden dazu ein« und genießen es. – Die Berichte der Frauen zeigen, daß sie schreckliche Angst hatten und in extreme Verwirrung gestürzt wurden. Mythos: Die Mütter wissen es immer; oder sie glauben den Mädchen niemals. – Tatsächlich wissen die Mütter es oft, verschweigen es aber aus Angst vor den sozialen Folgen.

Children's & young adult fiction & true stories2018The New Girl Code
by Niki Smit
Tumi Letsatsi is a 13-year old melanin kween living in Rondebosch, Cape Town. Her favourite colour is yellow, she's still trying to figure out how not to dent her afro on the bus, and how one goes about (ahem!) “french kissing”. She’s a little awkward and a lot uncertain about her future, friendships and how to put together a cool outfit! But then she stumbles across the magic of coding and creates an app called “Project Prep” that goes viral and rockets her and her friends to fame. Then everything starts to fall apart, as she deals with a catfish who befriends her and steals her code, nasty rumours at school and the newfound attention of a crush. The New Girl Code (by Niki Smit, locally edited by Buhle Ngaba) is about the wonders of working in tech, aimed at girls and young women aged 9-15. The project is an initiative of Inspiring Fifty and based on an idea by Janneke Niessen.
