Infidelities: Stories of War and Lust
As Serb, Croat, and Bosnian Muslim armies clash in the cities and countryside of the former Yugoslavia, it's impossible to delineate the home front from the front lines. In "Ribs," a Croatian widow goes to desperate lengths to keep her son out of the army. A Buddhist soldier in the Bosnian Muslim military is falsely accused of being an enemy informer after his detachment ambushes itself in "Hail." A draft dodger is in the hospital for a transplant in "A Purple Heart," when a Croatian general steals the heart for himself. In "Spleen," a Bosnian é migré cannot find release from the haunting memories of her homeland.
The stories in Infidelities cover a broad sweep of time, from the first shots of World War I fired in Sarajevo to the plight of Balkan immigrants in contemporary America. Throughout, acts of compassion, dark humor, and even desire arise from a landscape devastated by tragedy.

Highway to Hell: The Life & Times of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott by Clinton Walker, ISBN 1891241133
Since its initial publication in Australia, Highway to Hell has established itself as a classic of rock writing. It's the definitive account of AC/DC's rise to fame, when the ribald lyrics and charismatic stage presence of singer Bon Scott, along with the formidable guitar work of brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, defined a new and highly influential brand of rock'n'roll.
Drawing on many first-person interviews and featuring a gallery of rare photos, Clinton Walker traces AC/DC's career through the life of their original front man, from the Scottish roots he shared with the Youngs to small-time gigs to recording studios and international success -- right up to Bon Scott's shocking death in 1980, just as the band were attaining the worldwide recognition for which they had worked so tirelessly.
AC/DC's undiminished superstar status today -- and their lasting influence on such different genres as hard rock, grunge, and rap/metal -- ensure that Bon Scott's presence continues to be felt...
