If you’ve grown tired of traditional gay novels, Amnesic Nostalgia is unlike anything else you’ll find. Written for a generation starved of a voice of their own, it is an aggressive, daring novel that questions the roles of relevancy and chance in our otherwise routine lives. Flowing from the notion that nostalgia itself is a passive, yet persistent, form of amnesia, the implications form a narrative that casually explores identity, illustrating the irrelevance of an unsettled past.

For three years, Ruth E.

Her innovative book involves the reader in the construction of life stories as a richly rewarding and highly social process that often reveals the types of relationships that dominate the lives of group members, the majority of whom are women.

What happens to Old World memories in a New World order? Svetlana Boym opens up a new avenue of inquiry: the study of nostalgia. Combining personal memoir, philosophical essay, and historical analysis, Svetlana Boym explores the spaces of collective nostalgia that connect national biography and personal self-fashioning in the twenty-first century. She guides us through the ruins and construction sites of post-communist cities--St. Petersburg, Moscow, Berlin, and Prague--and the imagined homelands of exiles--Benjamin, Nabokov, Mandelstahm, and Brodsky. From Jurassic Park to the Totalitarian

When in accord, our hearts beat in unison; we are integrated i
