Mosaic Fictions is the first book-length critical analysis of Canadian Spanish Civil War literature. Exploring published and archival writings, the book focuses on the extensive contributions of Jewish Canadian authors as they articulate the stakes of the Spanish Civil War (1936–9) in the language of a nascent North American multiculturalism. Placing Jewish Canadian writers within overlapping North American networks of Jewish, Black, immigrant, female, and queer writers challenges the national distinctions that dominate current critical approaches to Anglophone Spanish Civil War literature. Reframing the narrative of Spain’s noble but tragic struggle against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, the book demonstrates how marginalized North American supporters of the Spanish Republic crafted narratives of inclusive citizenship amidst a national crisis not entirely their own. Mosaic Fictions examines texts composed between the war’s outbreak and the present to illuminate the integral connections between Canada’s developing national identity and global leftist action.

"Venera Dreams is a mosaic novel, a surreal history of a fictional and fantastical European city-state off the shore of Italy, inspired in part by Venice, The Arabian Nights, and the architecture of Antoni Gaudai. It is divided in three sections. The first, The Lure of Vermilion, is a quartet of contemporary episodes describing the impact of Venera's lure on various characters: a love-sick teenage boy, an aimless young woman, lovers on a romantic vacation, and an arrogant writer. The second section, Adventures in Times Past, consists of six episodes ranging from the Roman Empire's invasion of Venera in Classical times, an intrigue involving a Veneran spy at the court of the Chinese Zhengde Emperor during the Renaissance, a Victorian pulp adventure revealing the secrets of Venera's espionage network, a tale of Salvador Dalai's ties to Venera, the bibliography of an author whose works describe the postwar history of Venera, and a metafictional exploration of Scheherazade's relationship to Venera from prehistory to modern times. The final section, The Secret Histories of Magus Amore, returns to the present to resolve, in four final episodes, the mysteries of Venera."--

Gradually the two misfits form a bond, and Twyla begins to unearth the secrets that have left the Marine battling ghosts.

As told by Jeri Taylor, co-creator and executive producer of Star Trek: Voyager, this is an in-depth look into the mind and soul of Star Trek's newest captain.

Tuvok is trapped on the surface ofa wilderness planet -- and stalked by superior Kazon ground forces. Forced to choose between the lives of the Away Team and the safety of her ship, Captain Janeway reviews the most important moments of her life, and the pivotal choices that made her the woman she is today. From her childhood to her time at Starfleet AcademyTM, from her first love to her first command, she must once again face the challenges and conflicts that have brought her to the point where she must now risk everything to put one more piece in the mosaic that is Kathryn Janeway.

Narrative Innovation and Cultural Rewriting undertakes a systematic study of postmodernism's responses to the polarized ideologies of the postwar period that have held cultures hostage to a confrontation between rival ideologies abroad and a clash between champions of uniformity and disruptive others at home. Considering a broad range of narrative projects and approaches (from polysystemic fiction to surfiction, postmodern feminism, and multicultural/postcolonial fiction), this book highlights their solutions to ontological division (real vs. imaginary, wordly and other-worldly), sociocultural oppositions (of race, class, gender) and narratological dualities (imitation vs. invention, realism vs. formalism). A thorough rereading of the best experimental work published in the US since the mid-1960s reveals the fact that innovative fiction has been from the beginning concerned with redefining the relationship between history and fiction, narrative and cultural articulation. Stepping back from traditional polarizations, innovative novelists have tried to envision an alternative history of irreducible particularities, excluded middles, and creative intercrossings.
