Avoidance
by Michael LowenthalAVOIDANCE Try to imagine not even knowing how to fall, because a hand was always, always there to catch you. How does someone, excluded from the only community he or she has ever known, go on living? Harvard student Jeremy Stull lives with a devout Amish family to observe their faith and their strict shunning of those who breach it. He befriends Beulah -- a banished Amish woman - but comes no closer to understanding her predicament than he is to fathoming his own bitter exile. For Jeremy, community means Ironwood, a summer camp in the Vermont woods. First as a camper, then as assistant director, Jeremy has found in Ironwood's rituals a sturdy foundation for his life. But when he is blindsided by the seductive charm of Max, a fourteen-year-old boy from Manhattan, all arms and legs and attitude, Jeremy must confront both his own confusing desires and a legacy of disturbing secrets at his beloved Ironwood. In this powerful and daring novel, Lowenthal ingeniously explores an age-old dilemma: individual desire versus the good of the group.

In a Time of Torture: The Assault on Justice In Egypt's Crackdown on Homosexual Conduct
by Human Rights WatchSince early 2001, a growing number of men have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for having sexual relations with other men. Human Rights Watch knows the names of 179 men whose cases under the law against "debauchery" were brought before prosecutors since the beginning of 2001; in all probability that is only a minuscule percentage of the true total. Hundreds of others have been harassed, arrested, often tortured, but not charged. More than men who have sex with men are among the crackdown's victims, however. Its effects reach beyond the broken bodies, wrecked families, and ruined lives lying in its immediate trail. The offense against the marginalized potentially endangers everyone; the offensive against privacy corrupts the principles of public life. Every Egyptian's dignity and integrity are under threat in a time of torture, when the law accepts violence as investigation and stigma as certainty.
Eye Contact
by Michael CraftIt begins as a simple assignment for Chicago Journal reporter Mark Manning. He's been hired to replace colleague, Cliff Nolan, on a top story. Renowned astrophysicist, Pavo Zarnik, claims to have discovered a tenth planet, but to the skeptical reporter, there is no story because there is no proof. Then Manning makes some startling discoveries of his own: Nolan's body with a bullet hole in his back and the last interview with Zarnik is missing. Now the story is no longer a matter of metaphysics, but of murder. It's not just foul play and a puzzle that capture Manning's imagination. His new assistant, twenty-four-year-old David Bosch, awakens every yearning that Manning has struggled to keep in check since building his new life with two-year lover Neil Waite. Now, while Manning and David quickly pick up on the murderer's trail, a desperate predator has marked someone close to Manning. But Manning is driven even harder as he comes closer to the truth ... and to a damning piece of evidence the killer will do anything to destroy. Even if it means committing murder again.

Sacred Country
by Rose TremainSweeping through three decades, from the repressive English countryside of the nineteen-fifties to London of the sixties and seventies America, this story follows Mary's fight to become Martin, as well as the troubled family and circle of acquaintances and friends who also make up the core of this remarkable, emotional yet unsentimental novel. At the age of six, Mary, the child of a Suffolk farm family had a revelation--she knew she was not a girl, but was meant to be a boy. Where this realization takes Mary is the ostensible subject of Sacred Country, although British writer Rose Tremain so lovingly treats the bleak town of Swaithey, England, where Mary grows up, and the vivid people around her, that the novel eddies out to encompass others in the village and the times. With a steady eye, the harsh circumstances of Mary's upbringing and her disconnection from her body and surroundings are revealed. That so much humor and magic in Mary's slow transformation into Martin can be found is remarkable, but the book may be most memorable for its quiet realism and exacting prose.
