Excerpt from The Sandbar Queen: A Play in One Act Flat-boat slim is nothing but a peering sil honette, bent over some task on his backless stool by the table. The light without, inas much as it rather intensifies than lightens the growing twilight within, annoys him. He gets up and goes to the window, holding the object of his labor to the voluptuous brilliance. It is a sock of thick German wool, and he is darning. But the fierce radiance thwarts that endeavor too, and with infinite disgust, for he is a methodical person, he resigns himself to the inevitable ravishment of dying sunlight, by rolling up the article in a neat ball and stowing it, together with the needle, under a corner of his mattress. He then goes to the stove, takes 017 the lid, arranges in the re cesses of that receptacle a wad of paper from a wood box set behind it, and extracts from the same place a stick of fire wood, which he proceeds to sliver down with great precision. He drops this on top of the paper and lights the pile, adding more sticks, with a certain decorous care. This ceremony completed, he closes the stove and peers into an open kettle, which serves as tea, coffee and soup kettle. Accepting its emptiness, he picks up the bucket, draws from it a coil of rope attached to the handle, and goes out through the door, leaving it open. A splash of bucket in run ning water is heard as the Frazer rewards its hermit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Patient, perfect, and used to being first, Marguerite becomes Queen of France. But Louis IX is a religious zealot who denies himself the love and companionship his wife craves. Can she borrow enough of her sister's boldness to grasp her chance for happiness in a forbidden love? Passionate, strong-willed, and stubborn, Eleanor becomes Queen of England. Henry III is a good man, but not a good king. Can Eleanor stop competing with her sister and value what she has, or will she let it slip away? The Sister Queens is historical fiction at its most compelling, and is an unforgettable first novel.

In this moving autobiography, Daniel Gawthrop writes about the politics and pleasures of being a self-identified ''rice queen''; a gay man who is attracted to Asians. Navigating through the urban jungles of Western cities like Vancouver and London, as well as the humid streets of Bangkok and Saigon, Daniel explores the multicultural minefields of sexuality and culture as he articulates the manners and contradictions of his desires. The politics of race, and the unspoken rules of gay Asian culture in both Western and Eastern settings, underscore Daniel's personal journey in which he recalls his teen years spent idolizing Bruce Lee and his fixation on an Asian schoolmate whose hazing becomes a sexual spectacle for him. As he enters adulthood, his desires become manifest as he explores the subcultures of Long Yang Clubs (where gay Asians and ''their admirers'' can meet) before departing for Asia, where his encounters often become transactions, and he learns the hard way that sexual desire has a human and emotional cost. Evoking the themes of Edward Said's Orientalism, The Rice Queen Diaries is as much a personal statement about culture and otherness as it is about gay desire. Traversing three continents, these diaries are a personal reckoning, a bold coming to terms with the nuances of sexuality that has relevance for all of us.
